Shafia Monroe Consulting

Shafia Monroe Consulting Shafia Monroe is the Queen Mother of a midwife movement, a doula trainer, and a birth justice warrior My personal goal is to end human suffering.

I am a lover of people and see the best in each person that I meet. My seven children and my husband are the joys of my life. I've been teaching midwives, doulas, and birth workers for over four decades, focusing on African American birth traditions and postpartum rituals. I am a lifelong learner of organic gardening and herbal medicine. In 2002, I created the SMC Full Circle Doula Birth Companion

Training curriculum, to increase the number of doulas of color, Black midwives, and to honor the legacy of the 20th century African American midwife. It's about bringing joy to birth, sacredness to motherhood, honor to fatherhood, and strengthening family.
