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!
