In this first installment of our special maternal health series, we sit down with Miyah Davis, a mother, wife, and the heart behind Anori’s Village, her private doula practice where she treats every client like family, creates warm, comforting spaces, and always brings a little laughter along the way.

Miyah shares her inspiring path from being a client with the Philadelphia Nurse-Family Partnership to becoming a doula herself. She reflects on how her own pregnancy and birth experiences, including the support she received during times of housing instability, influenced her decision to help other parents feel heard and prepared.

Hear how she balances her passion for birth work with full-time employment, motherhood, and the desire to be a consistent, empowering presence for her clients. She also discusses the importance of building trust, offering culturally responsive care, and expanding access to resources like lactation and birthing classes that help families thrive.
