As a mother of three myself, a doula with nearly a decade of experience, and as a certified obstetrical surgical technician, I trust the innate wisdom every mother carries to birth their baby. It is an honor to help women create positive birth experiences and I’d love to see how I can help you. https://www.ancientwisdomdoula.com/doula-support daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/7f6b9254-989d-4323-a4b5-ac9c2c0ca142/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Doula+95.jpg Doula Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/1ad06a9b-14b4-47d7-bbb5-44478287574f/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Doula+86.jpg Doula Support - The birth doula support every woman deserves I believe that a doula isn’t just someone who is present for the delivery of your baby. A doula is someone who builds a relationship with you during the pregnancy and is there to help you create your birth vision, learn more about the process, and help you tap into the knowledge your body already holds surrounding birth. There is so much trust that is built between a person and their doula before labor even begins — and having an advocate for your wishes in the delivery room, birthing center, or your home is invaluable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/4a7f72be-cbd2-4dae-b635-1294a241404c/Botanicals-14.png Doula Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/f56ce582-8773-40a2-bc16-3f6955d0fc9d/Botanicals-18.png Doula Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/ce8be941-9563-4208-86fd-98267cbf775e/Botanicals-12.png Doula Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/1815e5c9-7b01-4296-bb3b-fdd9a5f2fa8d/Partner+Badge+-+Add+With+Your+Link+To+Your+Website+%282%29.png https://www.ancientwisdomdoula.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-10-17 https://www.ancientwisdomdoula.com/lactation-support daily 0.75 2025-05-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/40cc2b5a-7e3f-4696-85e2-dc807dba7232/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Lactation+Support.jpg Lactation Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/bab9a60c-2fde-4823-9613-7d047f9c4086/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Lactation+Support+4.jpg Lactation Support - Services Offered Prenatal Breastfeeding Prep Learn what to expect, how to prepare your body, and how to get off to a strong start in the early days. Postpartum Feeding Support Struggling with latch, pain, low milk supply, oversupply, or bottle refusal? I offer step-by-step help to improve feeding for both you and your baby. Weighted Feeds Wondering how much milk your baby is actually getting? I offer weighted feeds to measure intake during a feeding session. Pumping + Back-to-Work Plans Get guidance on choosing the right pump, creating a pumping schedule, and storing your milk with confidence. Nipple + Bra Sizing Proper fit matters! I help with custom bra and flange sizing to make nursing and pumping more comfortable and effective. Bottle Refusal Consultation A bottle refusal consultation helps if your baby is having a hard time taking a bottle. We’ll look at why your baby may not want the bottle—like how fast the milk flows, the bottle shape, or the timing. We often hear that breastfeeding/bodyfeeding is a “natural process,” but we aren’t given the tools we need to make our efforts successful. I support new and seasoned parents with education around breastfeeding/bodyfeeding, as well as explain how to troubleshoot common challenges. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1615225337376-36JM1AX4C0NIC32WNXXU/Rectangle+26.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/acc60f5a-74f3-4932-a96b-8409bc96d68a/Botanicals-14.png Lactation Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/4a7f72be-cbd2-4dae-b635-1294a241404c/Botanicals-14.png Lactation Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/ce8be941-9563-4208-86fd-98267cbf775e/Botanicals-12.png Lactation Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ancientwisdomdoula.com/postpartum-support daily 0.75 2022-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/178ea3a0-25f7-484b-a609-0c2f39895867/8R2A0747-61.jpg Postpartum Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/344b6c30-fd3e-4423-9cc6-7d92bcc69466/8R2A0862-120.jpg Postpartum Support - Enjoy time with your baby, I’ll take care of the rest You need help after birth — whether you delivered vaginally or through cesarean. Your body is still healing and this period is critical for the mother-baby bond. You want to enjoy time with baby, rather than trying to juggle housework, meal planning and cooking, and even trying to physically care for other children. Not everyone has in-home support after a new baby comes, especially if their partner or family has to work outside the home immediately after birth. That’s why I provide postpartum (after-birth) doula services, both in-home and virtually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/4a7f72be-cbd2-4dae-b635-1294a241404c/Botanicals-14.png Postpartum Support - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.ancientwisdomdoula.com/about daily 0.75 2025-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/9e3bcd5d-3f1a-4980-9893-eb26f89820dc/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Doula+92.jpg About - Evidence-based care meets your motherly intuition Women are capable and powerful — and when it comes to bringing new life into the world, women have an instinct, an ancient wisdom, that tells them exactly what they need to do to bring their child into this world. It’s my honor to help women tap into this sacred space and advocate for it throughout their hospital or birthing center experience. Studies and our own experiences show that women who are supported before, during, and after birth have better outcomes, which is why I offer support at all stages of the pregnancy and postpartum experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/fa0f9a7a-f15b-4d03-a7e1-5fc15b8c1aa1/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Doula+112.jpg About - A new approach to your birth experience When you work with me, I’ll help you tap into the ancient wisdom that all birthing people hold, and help you create the vision for your birth plan. I’ll work with you and your medical care team (if you have one) to ensure that you have everything you need to birth successfully. I’ve helped hundreds of moms with delivery, both in my work as a doula and as an obstetrical surgical technician at Henry Ford Hospital. I can help you navigate the entire experience, from creating your birth plan to adjusting the plan if needed during birth. I also support birthing people with education, comforting skills, visualizations and meditations, and other tools to help them navigate the experience. As a spiritual, holistic doula, it’s my goal to help ensure your birthing experience is calming and professional. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/f62f44f8-be6f-478c-aacd-c5970d763088/8R2A0691-36.jpg About - About Nyasia As a certified doula and lactation educator, I provide educational and emotional support birth and postpartum services to mothers and families in the Detroit area (and to anyone online). As a mother of three myself, and as an obstetrical surgical technician, I trust the innate wisdom every mother carries to birth their baby. I endeavor to inspire women to birth without fear through my educational and in-person or virtual doula experiences. I also believe in the importance of postpartum care and support for moms and families, which is why I also offer lactation support and postpartum home help. I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and I’m a mother of three. It was my own traumatic birth experience that led me to enter the healthcare field. Since working in healthcare, my passion for birth equity and justice has only increased, and I’m dedicated to reducing the maternal and infant mortality rates for families in Metro Detroit, and improving the breastfeeding initiation and exclusivity rates. I’ve been a birth doula since 2014, an OB surgical technician since 2019, and will sit for the IBCLC certification exam in September 2022. On top of my work in the hospital and my work as a doula, I volunteer at local domestic and homeless teenage shelters throughout Metro Detroit to help educate young girls and women on pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/627bf7d88f08942e11d0c4ce/7431fe68-1213-431e-b1c5-be6a6dbb338e/Nyasia+Countee+Ancient+Wisdom+Doula+95.jpg About - Doula support I provide education, emotional support, and advocacy to women & families before, during, and after birth.
