@Randoula

Based in Harlem, Randoula leads the Harlem Doula Collective providing full-spectrum doula services focused on Black maternal health outcomes. She holds specialized certifications in placenta encapsulation and trains other birth professionals in these techniques. Her practice integrates traditional healing methods with contemporary maternal healthcare protocols. The Mothership NYC, her community education center, hosts professional development programs for birth workers and maternal health advocates. The space offers structured workshops in textile arts including natural dyeing, printmaking, weaving, and garment repair. Training programs connect traditional craft practices with sustainable materials and techniques. Her work with the Collective addresses documented disparities in maternal healthcare access through direct support services and professional mentorship. The Mothership's educational programming serves both birth professionals seeking certification and community members learning heritage craft skills. Programs operate at the intersection of reproductive healthcare, cultural preservation, and sustainable materials practices.
