ABOUT Pi‘iLANI

MEET YOUR DOULA —

Pi‘ilani is a dedicated wellness advocate with a passion for holistic health, drawing on her diverse cultural background and extensive experience in mindfulness practices to inspire others on their wellness journeys.

I am grateful to cross paths with you and to be a steward to care after you as you blossom into new layers of self and mother. I am from Hawai'i and grew up in a few cultural practices that have grounded be deeply into a beautifully woven relationship with Spirit and Mother Earth. I graduated in 2012 from the University of Hawai'i Manoa with a BA in business, all the while, deeply wanting to study natropathic herbal medicine and acupuncture. One thing I have learned, your purpose is a light that can not be dimmed. In 2012 I dedicated myself to supporting my communities wellbeing through yoga. I am over 1000hrs RYT and E-RYT-200 with Yoga Alliance.

In 2015 I attended Hawai'i Massage Academy and have been a LMT (licensed massage therapist) with Hawai‘i since 2017. In 2018 I began many different trainings with Doula Canada and Carriage House Birth with the focus in postpartum care. Maternal wellness has bee a passionate thread and focus woven through all of my trainings. I am currently in an online program with Indie Birth for Midwifery care pursuing the care and role of a Traditional Birth Attendant being First Nation Hawaiian. I have been supporting women in birth professionally since 2022 and supporting women with their health and fitness for more than 12 years.

Birth is one of the most sacred moments — It is my MISSION to hold space for YOUR MOST sacred healing birth experience.

This season of your life is exciting and bound to be life-changing. A well-planned support team is one of the essential tools for you to use to have the most uplifting pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum period. I have found that a woman's birth story becomes a permanent and critical part of who she is. My goal is to help women and their partners craft birth plans that make them feel the most confident approaching their births. In addition, I will provide continuous support to the mother and partner when the day arrives so that you both come away from the experience feeling proud of your story no matter how it unfolds.
