In this episode, I’m joined by full-spectrum doula Neika Christalin for a powerful conversation about what it means to serve women in birthwork, particularly Black women. We explore the sacredness of her role, the ancestral memory woven into this work, and the deep need for care that honors the bodies, stories, and sovereignty of Black mothers. Neika shares how she holds space, protects rest, and stays rooted in her lineage as she supports others through life’s most transformative thresholds.
Check out Neika and her work!
