Peace & Blessings! I’m Anniecia Marlena—mother, herbalist, and holistic birth and postpartum doula who’s Christ-centered in my approach to life and service. My love for birthwork began early—at just 12 years old, I attended the birth of my nephew as my older sister brought him into the world. From that moment, I knew I was meant to walk alongside mothers during the most transformative season of their lives, even though I wasn’t yet sure what that would look like.
Years later, that vision became clear, and A Mother’s Way was born. As the founder and owner, I created this practice out of a deep passion for helping women feel fully supported, confident, and empowered throughout their birthing experiences. After witnessing how disconnected, undervalued, and under-resourced many mothers feel during this life-changing time, I knew I had to provide a space where women could receive the holistic care, encouragement, and advocacy they deserve.
With a B.A. in Biology, certification through Doula Philosophy, and mentorship under the incredible Mama Ife—pioneer of Holistic Black Doulaism—I’ve gathered the knowledge and tools to support you through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. My approach combines evidence-based care, emotional guidance, and practical skills to help you feel strong, supported, and confident in your journey.
As an herbalist, I also believe in the holistic power of plants to nurture the body naturally. Whether you’re navigating fertility, preparing for birth, healing postpartum, or beyond, I’m here to help you feel your best—inside and out.
On a more personal note, I’m blessed to share my name with my beautiful daughter (yes, two Anniecias!). When I’m not baking up something sweet or dreaming about becoming a traditional midwife, I’m fully focused on helping families step into parenthood feeling empowered, joyful, and deeply connected.
I can’t wait to support you and help make this chapter everything you’ve hoped for!
