About
Who Is Rae?
Hi there! I'm Rae (Syreeta), I am a Full Spectrum Doula, Child Birth Educator, Mama, and The Founder of Cleo's Haven.
Becoming a mother to my amazing daughter sparked my doula journey.
In 2018, I found out I was pregnant and while my journey should have been filled with joy and excitement, I experienced a lot of trauma and stress. While carrying my daughter I also carried several large fibroids. There were so many scary moments during my pregnancy, that left me feeling vulnerable and alone. Even with the support of my village, I felt like very few people knew what I was going through.
After my experience, I decided it was time to start my journey of becoming Doula.
Pregnancy and Birth is a life changing event that requires a special level of support. I believe we all have a right to a birthing experience that is free from trauma and suffering. As a doula my goal is to provide birthing mothers and persons with the tools to feel empowered while on this journey.

Cleo's Haven
Who is Cleo?
When I think about my role as a community birth worker, I think about my late Granny Cleo. Cleo was a resilient mother of 6 and a praying grandmother to multiple generations. Throughout her life, her prayers and wisdom made her a safe place to many people. Ms. Cleo as many would call her, had a certain way about her, she was a no nonsense woman but she always led with love. She was a pillar in her community and always ready to serve others. I decided to honor her wisdom, strength, and love with a Safe Haven for All Birthing Individuals. Welcome to Cleo's Haven!
