ABOUT QIANA
After having two children of my own with both unique pregnancies and labors I was
dedicated to the mission of breastfeeding. I am highly motivated to serve women through
the postnatal journey. I want to promote the benefits of postpartum support, as many
women are not even aware that postpartum doulas exist.
I also have had to navigate the world of raising a child with a birth defect, I know a few tips
on how to point someone into the right direction as many may not now the resources that
are available to them through local hospital and outside. Some of those resources include
non-profits, and regional state affiliated resources.
It is well-known that, Georgia has one of the highest maternal/infant mortality rates in the
country. Many of those deaths occur during the first forty days postpartum. I want to create
opportunities for women of color to receive postpartum support to lessen the unfortunate
statistic.
I will strive to provide new moms with the tools and resources they need to succeed in
their new parenting roles. I will provide necessary support to new mothers as they recover
from giving birth and are learning to breastfeed and care for their newborn babies.
I have the intention and initiative to bring education and provide important postnatal care
that can lessen postpartum mood disorders and enhance confidence in the new parent role.
As a mother I know the value of a being a trusted companion during the transition into
motherhood.
My commitment and enthusiasm about supporting moms during the postpartum period
will be a gift to our community. I know she will be professional and effective in providing
needed nurturing care to postpartum women. The ultimate goal is to create a calm in the
chaos, listen and support the parent/s as they navigate parenthood.
