Hey y’all!
My name is Kerian J. Trice-Purnell, BSN, RN, CLC, CBE and I am a Evidence Based Birth® Childbirth Educator, a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery, a certified lactation counselor, and a birth and postpartum (virtual) doula, specializing in infant care. I am currently serving the Kaiserslautern Military Community (KMC) in Germany.
I started my doula journey in 2019 when I found out about the disparities that plague Black women in childbirth. As a labor & delivery nurse, I saw these disparities every day. Black women are 3-4x more likely to die in childbirth than any other race. These racial disparities in the healthcare system and empowering women through the birthing process are my fuel!
Through utilizing my doula and childbirth education services, I want women to flourish through birth and beyond! I want to educate you, keep you informed, and advocate for you. I want to support you through this journey, I want to answer any questions that you have (and those you don’t know you have), and ease some of the stress of becoming a parent to your new baby!
I look forward to becoming a part of your birth team and creating an unforgettable pregnancy and birth experience!
