Testimonial for Sanyika Williams

Sanyika is a God send. I met Sanyika as a FTM. She is literally the doula I prayed for. Sanyika is very knowledgeable about all things birth and beyond. She led childbirth education classes throughout my pregnancy and helped me to make informed decisions for myself and baby. Sanyika is one of THE sweetest people I have ever met. Her kind spirit is what led me to her. I was granted her pro bono doula services, and she treated me no different than her paid clientele. I never felt rushed or like I was getting half of her services or attention. She was so attentive to my needs and questions (and I had so many questions lol). She also made sure to help my partner become informed and taught him how to advocate for me in the event I could not advocate for myself. Her passion for birth and birthing people truly shines through her work. I faced some challenges near the term (40wks) of my pregnancy. Sanyika listened and encouraged me to trust my body and all the knowledge I learned through her and my own research. I ultimately had a c-section. Postpartum is where Sanyika played a vital role in my life. She supported me through early breastfeeding challenges. Late nights and early mornings I could reach out to her and she was there to help me. If she didn't know something she knew someone who did. I am so so so glad that Sanyika was a part of my birth story and postpartum journey. Without her, I don't think I would have accomplished my breastfeeding goals. She is so thorough, thoughtful, and oh so caring! While she is super sweet she is also a force not to be messed with! Sanyika will waste no time advocating for her clients. Sanyika and I still keep in contact today and I am so glad I met this beautiful woman. She has supported me and helped me heal from birth, grief, postpartum and beyond. I am forever grateful to Sanyika and all the she has provided to me and my family!
