Carleigh Joseph-Olivas

Profile:

Carleigh Joseph-Olivas is a licensed perinatal social worker, full spectrum doula, maternal mental health therapist, and parenting coach with a passion for supporting women and families through the profound transformations of pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. 

As owner and founder of Nurtured Roots Doula and Family Services, Carleigh has established a practice that answers the question that inspires her work, ‘Everyone wants to hold the baby. Who holds the mother?” Her expertise  in providing supportive counseling and connection to resources for parents and families in marginalized communities necessitates the scope of her practice to reach beyond the labor room and become embedded in the fabric of the community itself. With a deep commitment to ‘restoring the village’, Carleigh is determined to build a supportive network that nurtures the well-being of mothers, strengthens family bonds, and fosters a healthy start for infants and children. By addressing the emotional, mental, and social needs of parents, she aims to create a safe and empowering environment where families can thrive together. 

A future midwife and fierce advocate for maternal health initiatives, Carleigh envisions a world where birthing and parenting is an empowering and deeply connected experience. Through her work, Carleigh is dedicated to educating, supporting, and addressing disparities in maternal care while honoring the emotional and spiritual bonds between mothers and their children.
