Hello, I'm Imani, the heart and soul behind Birth in Black. My journey as a caregiver spans over a decade, reflecting my deep-rooted passion for nurturing and supporting families. My path led me to become a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) specializing in care for individuals with special needs, further enriching my experience in compassionate caregiving.

Before stepping into my role as a professional caregiver, I honed my nurturing skills by assisting my mom with her home daycare and weekend babysitting jobs. These early experiences laid the foundation for my commitment to family care and support.

Beyond my life as a dedicated doula of color in Denver, I find joy and fulfillment in many aspects of life. I'm a proud pet parent to my rescue dogs, Cooper and Remy, an enthusiastic participant in dance classes, and a devoted board member for Bella Boutique Denver, an organization close to my heart.

For me, being a birth doula transcends the conventional role of labor support. It's about being a coach, cheerleader, and validator. I am there to be a steady presence amidst the chaos, offering a listening ear, a hand to hold, and a shoulder to lean on. My role is to provide holistic support – emotionally, physically, and mentally – on one of the most significant and transformative days of your life.

My commitment to you and your partner doesn't end with labor. As a certified postpartum doula and postpartum care specialist, I continue to offer care and support, guiding you through the exhilarating journey into parenthood. Additionally, as an Evidence Based Birth instructor, I bring a wealth of knowledge and resources to empower you with information and confidence. This unique blend of practical support and evidence-based education is what sets my approach at Birth in Black apart, ensuring you receive comprehensive, informed care every step of the way.
