Yasmine Minnifield
Yasmine is a certified doula who specializes in providing holistic support and empowerment to black women and families during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. With over 10 years of experience attending dozens of births as a doula, her passion lies in holding space for black women to tap into their inner power and magic as they transition to motherhood.
Yasmine’s journey into doula work was sparked by the maternal health crisis in the black community and a calling to provide culturally-sensitive care. She is a strong advocate for black women reclaiming agency over their bodies and births. Yasmine is also trained in childbirth education, lactation support, aromatherapy, Reiki energy healing, and vaginal steaming.
Yasmine believes that pregnancy and birth represent a powerful rite of passage when women can most profoundly tap into the magic of the divine feminine. By holding space for black women to rediscover this magic through ancient feminine wisdom, community, and radical self-care, Yasmine is dedicated to transforming black maternal health from surviving to thriving.
