Hello, my name is Nakeia Muñoz, welcome to my website!
I am the mother of three grown children, one who is now on the Spirit side, and the inspiration behind my business. In addition to being a Certified Birth Doula and licensed in both WA and OR state, I also hold a Degree in Infant & Early Child Development, and have over 20 years’ experience in early infant & child education and family advocacy.
I honor and recognize that birth is a right-of passage, and a bridge from one sacred realm to another. Through my work as a doula, I blend modern practices with ancestral wisdom to guide and support you through the entire birthing process. My services are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring an informed, respectful, and spiritually connected experience.

What is a Birth Doula?
A Birth Doula is a trained and certified nonclinical professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to expecting mothers and their partner before, during, and after labor and delivery.
Birth Doulas offer encouragement and reassurance, targeted massage methods during labor (counterpressure, relaxation, and hip-opening techniques), breathing techniques, education (regarding labor options, pain management strategies, and postpartum care), and advocacy and empowerment.
At Khris’s Mama Doula Services, Nakeia honors the spirit of birth and the strength of motherhood at the heart of everything. Rooted in the wisdom and traditions passed down through generations, Nakeia offers compassionate and empowering support for Mamas and their partners as they navigate the transformative journey of birth.
