My name is Genicia Battle, known in the Ifá community as Ifáfúnké Àṣọre. I am a Full Circle Doula and Birth Companion, trained through the SMC Full Circle Doula Birth Companion Training. A program rooted in the cultural, historical, and spiritual traditions of African American midwifery and birth work. I became a doula because every birthing person deserves to feel seen, supported, and spiritually connected throughout their journey. I know the difference it makes to birth in a space that feels warm, honoring, and sacred. My vision is to offer families not only emotional and spiritual support, but also culturally rooted healing tools that nurture the womb, body, and soul. Birth is not just a moment! It is a portal! My purpose is to ensure that every mother steps through it feeling whole, powerful, and profoundly connected to her divine nature.

At Idaji I provide full-spectrum doula support that honors the sacred journey of motherhood through ancestral care, herbal healing, and holistic guidance. My services are designed to meet you where you are. Whether you are preparing for birth, navigating labor, or restoring balance in the postpartum period. I offer care packages that include birth planning, nutritional guidance, herbal support, and spiritual preparation to help you feel grounded and confident as you prepare to welcome your baby. I provide continuous emotional, physical, and spiritual support with techniques such as breathwork, massage, rebozo positioning, and advocacy to protect your birth vision. We have care packages that honor the sacred first 40 days after birth with belly binding, herbal baths, nourishing meal support, and emotional wellness practices that help mothers rest, restore, and bond with their babies. In addition, I offer specialized care options such as sibling support during labor and postpartum, antepartum care for high-risk pregnancies or bed rest, and fertility & womb healing services that blend herbal traditions, bodywork, and spiritual alignment. Each service is rooted in the belief that mothers deserve a village of care, and I walk alongside you with compassion, wisdom, and intention at every stage of your journey.
Choosing Genicia was one of the best decisions I made for my pregnancy and postpartum journey. From the very first consultation, I felt seen, heard, and held with so much compassion. During labor she guided me through in ways that made such a difference. She also reminded me of my strength and gave me the confidence to birth my baby on my own terms. But the her care didn’t end! After the birth what truly amazed me was the sacred postpartum support. The herbal baths, belly binding, and nourishing meals helped my body heal in ways I never experienced with my first child. She even created space for my emotions and spiritual well being, which I didn’t realize I needed until I felt the difference. Genicia held me like family! every mother deserves this kind of care.
