Meet Doneshia

Doneshia is a dedicated Pregnancy and Fertility Health Coach with a rich background in both education and practice. In 2016, she earned her L.E.A.N. certification in health coaching from the Dr. Sears Institute, including specialized training in pregnancy coaching. She further advanced her expertise in 2023 by obtaining certification as a Fertility Support Specialist (Doula) through Bebo Mia. Her passion for reproductive health originated in her youth, with a longstanding aspiration to enter obstetrics and gynecology. Although she didn't follow that specific path, she always felt that God was leading her in the direction of pregnancy/maternity.

As a Pregnancy and Fertility Health Coach, Doneshia focuses on improving the pregnancy, maternity, and fertility journey through a blend of holistic and evidence-based approaches. Her goal is to empower families and individuals to make informed decisions tailored to their unique experiences. She is particularly passionate about addressing health disparities in minority reproductive health and providing safe, holistic services that promote healthy families through education, advocacy, and awareness.

Doneshia is committed to ongoing learning in her field, continually seeking fresh, transparent, and applicable knowledge to better serve her clients. Her comprehensive understanding of economic and health challenges allows her to offer practical, real-world solutions, guiding her clients not just to survive but to thrive.

Educationally, Doneshia holds a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing and Advertising Communications with a minor in Economics, as well as two Master’s degrees: a Master of Science in Housing and Consumer Economics with a minor in Gerontology and a Master of Business Administration. She is currently pursuing a Doctorate, further deepening her understanding of the intersection between economics and health.

Outside of her coaching practice, Doneshia is the creative force behind her health and wellness lifestyle brand, Simply Starling. This brand is dedicated to simplifying how individuals live out a holistic and healthy lifestyle. In her personal time, Doneshia enjoys spending time with family and friends, working out (especially spin classes and weightlifting), dancing (she also choreographs), laughing, creating vegan recipes, serving and teaching at her church, thrift shopping, and catching up on Netflix and Amazon Prime movies.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME

4

Coach

To sincerely cheer you on, simplify, educate and provide you with the best resources possible as I navigate with you, along your personalized reproductive journey for a healthy, positive and/or BETTER outcome!

Doula

I believe Doulas are important because they are servants that partner with God in helping deliver His ideas, thoughts, revelation, and creations from Heaven to Earth. Doulas assist in serving God to bring His solutions from inception and womb, to Earth. The idea of birth always starts with God.

Minister

As a Christian and ordained minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, Christ is at the center of my business so that this translates into a peaceful, encouraging, hopeful and inspiring reproductive journey together.

Advocate

Regardless of your reproductive status, I am inspired to provide the best evidence-based research that will help black and brown women make informed decisions and ultimately decrease maternity morbidity rates and improve healthy birthing outcomes for melanated families and individuals. 

OH! THERE'S MORE!

Being a coach, doula, advocate, and minister, are no light matters to me. I know how important it is to trust the people that you decide to let into your journey. I know with trust comes transparency and some vulnerability so, I'm being intentional and sharing some fun and sentimental parts of myself with you!
