In 2020, I created Birth of Ahavah and unexpectedly published my first children’s book - which eventually grew into a series of books. Realizing I had even more to offer, I took a strong interest in doula services and the need for that support in minority communities.

Not long after, I became a trained doula & life coach and tapped into my life’s purpose - to empower, encourage and uplift individuals, families, and communities through birthing support, coaching, and children’s literature.

Peace, I’m Markeya – a certified doula, trained life coach, children’s book author, and proud Pittsburgh native. I was born with a love of people and can make just about anyone feel at home.

I have a background in non-profit work with a B.A. in Sociology, but my experience entering motherhood through the birth of my beautiful daughter, Navi Ahavah, made me realize I was called to pour back into other mothers-to-be and children.

I believe that                       is power.

I believe that
