MANYA WILLIAMS
Manya Williams is a DONA International trained Birth/Labor Doula. She brings to her work experience years of teaching yoga and is certified in Hatha and Bikram Yoga styles.

After a successful career as a documentary film editor where Manya’s primary role was receiving the stories of others then artfully weaving them together, she felt called to do something more meaningful. This lead Manya to devote herself to Yoga, giving her the opportunity to go deeper within her own self, while reaching out to others, guiding them through breath and movement.

Motivated by her intuition and passion and compounded with the birth of her son, she later committed herself to supporting families through the major life transition of birth. Manya also offers Calm Birth – Empowering Preparation for Childbirth. She is certified with the American Red Cross in adult, child, and infant CPR.
