Alicia Burke
Santosha Wellness
Hi there! I’m Alicia, a proud mother of four, prenatal yoga instructor, certified birth doula (DONA) and childbirth educator. My own journey into matrescence inspired a passion for all things pregnancy and childbirth. After a decade dedicated to full-time motherhood, I sought to expand my horizons and contribute more to my community, leading me to this beautiful career as a birth worker.
My personal birthing experiences were empowering, revealing the incredible capabilities of the female body. However, I also witnessed the shortcomings of a healthcare system that often medicalizes childbirth rather than honoring it as a natural physiological process. I believe that women should know their birthing options so that they feel confident and safe in their birth space. However, the multitude of choices during pregnancy, labor, and delivery can be overwhelming, and it can be difficult to navigate what is best for each family. My mission is to empower mothers to approach labor with preparedness and peace of mind, providing them with essential support, information, and resources. Every woman deserves an advocate by her side to offer encouragement and comfort. I am committed to helping my clients achieve their ideal birth and welcome their babies into the world on their own terms.
I believe in a holistic approach to labor preparation, nurturing the mind, body, and soul. My ongoing trainings in somatic therapy, embodiment, and fascia release, combined with my professional and personal experiences, allow me to bring a competent and compassionate approach to my doula work. It is an immense privilege to accompany families on this journey and be present for the arrival of the new life they’ve created.
