As a devoted mother of three, along with four bonus children, Chaka's commitment to nurturing extends beyond her professional endeavors. Her experience as a surrogate for two couples further enhances her understanding of family dynamics, enabling her to provide an expansive circle of care. Chaka's own experiences in motherhood have deepened her empathy and inspired her mission to empower women as they navigate their unique pregnancy experiences, fostering resilience and connection among those she serves.

In her personal life, Chaka finds balance and renewal through various activities that bring her joy, such as spending time with family, engaging in invigorating workouts, practicing yoga, taking calming nature walks, and enjoying enlightening books and soothing baths. These self-care practices not only nurture her well-being but also enhance her ability to uplift and support others on their motherhood journeys. Currently residing in Houston, TX, Chaka joyfully serves the surrounding communities with her compassionate guidance and support.

One thing that is very import to me is to create a space to allow a woman time. Time to labor as she chooses to, move in a way that she deems most comfortable, and birth how she needs too!
