About the Doula

Hey Mama 🤍

If you’re here, chances are you’re carrying questions, hopes, and maybe a little fear about what’s ahead. I want you to know you don’t have to navigate this alone.

My name is Daric Amena, and I’m a doula, birth coach, childbirth educator, and personal trainer. I created Amena’s Tree because I believe every woman deserves to understand her body, trust her instincts, and feel supported as she prepares for birth and motherhood.

I’m a Howard University graduate with a background in Health Sciences and Pre-Physical Therapy, as well as a personal trainer who has studied alongside physical therapists and chiropractors. But more than credentials, my work is rooted in education, advocacy, and care—helping you feel confident in your body before labor, supported during birth, and grounded in the transition to postpartum.

Here’s the truth many people don’t understand:

Black women in the U.S. experience pregnancy and birth complications at significantly higher rates—not because of our bodies, but because of gaps in care, communication, and support. Too many of us walk into birth carrying fear, unanswered questions, or past trauma. Unacceptable.

My mission is to change that.

I support all women by providing clear education, practical tools, and personalized guidance so that you and your birth team walk into birth informed, prepared, and able to advocate for yourself with confidence. This is about helping you feel seen, heard, and empowered in one of the most important moments of your life.

Whether you’re looking for focused birth preparation, deeper education, physical support, or simply a space where your concerns are taken seriously—you’re in the right place.

If you’re ready to feel more grounded and supported as you prepare for birth, I’d love to talk with you.
