I’m Chaya, a DMV native and proud mama to three beautiful children. Since beginning my student midwifery journey in 2021, I’ve come to truly appreciate the profound importance of ‘intrinsic’ birth. My journey started in nursing, with the aim of becoming a labor and delivery nurse. I earned my CNA license, NRP/CPR certification, and full-spectrum doula certification in 2019. In 2020, I began apprenticing as a student and birth assistant for a local home birth midwife. Running Intrinsic Motherhood and working part-time as a clinical tech in a local hospital’s L&D unit has further fueled my passion. I dream of becoming a CNM and opening my own practice to offer families the comfort of home births, just as I experienced with my own children. As a placenta encapsulation specialist, birth photographer, and perinatal advocate, my heart has always been set on supporting mothers during this sacred time. From a young age, I knew I wanted to guide mothers through their journey into motherhood, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I believe every person deserves an informed and autonomous birth, no matter the path they choose. Advocacy is at the core of doula work, and it’s what drives me to continue in this field. Over the past few years, I’ve had the honor of attending over 200 births as a doula, student midwife, and tech. While I specialize in natural intrinsic birth, I support all birth choices and help mothers find their own path. The bonds I form with my clients often turn into close, loving friendships.
