The gift of motherhood is unexplainable. As a black mother of three beautiful babies, each of my birthing experiences were completely different. The birth of my second child was extremely traumatic so when I found out that I was pregnant for the third time I knew that I needed a trusted individual to guide me through my final pregnancy and beyond. That’s where Shanita Joy Murray graced me with her divine abilities. We connected instantly over our love for black maternal health and research. Not only is Shanita Joy a doula, but she’s a nurse too! She is the best of both worlds. I was determined to have VBAC despite my doctor’s wishes of a c-section. Shanita reassured me and gave me the confidence, statistics, and knowledge necessary to successfully bring my baby girl Earth side. She set the tone for my entire birthing experience from her kindhearted spirit, to lavender oils, massages, and advocating for me every single step of the way. She showed me endless birthing positions that helped my body prepare for my baby girl's grand arrival. After my amazing birthing experience, my OBGYN, nurse, and other members of my team begged me for Shanita's business information. Everyone loved her! Shanita Joy is down to earth, extremely knowledgeable, and a true light in this world. I HIGHLY recommend her services. Her professionalism is unmatched and she has helped my family in ways that are unimaginable. Shanita reminded to find joy daily throughout my pregnancy and post partum. She is reliable, trustworthy, and will move mountains for her clients. The love she has for her husband and child beams as well. She is truly an inspirational woman and I am glad that she is now a part of my family forever. It's not that often that you can confidently say that your trust someone with your life, and the life of your unborn child.
