Laila Moore
Laila is a certified birth and postpartum doula, licensed massage therapist, lactation counselor, and the co-owner of Medicine of Essence.
She studied nursing at the College of Southern Maryland, aspiring to become a labor and delivery nurse like her grandmother. She has always been fascinated by birth and the perinatal experience, viewing the creation of life from a combination of cells and atoms as a deeply beautiful and spiritual process.
While in college, she founded her business, Medicine of Essence, which initially focused on hosting yoga sessions and selling handcrafted body products. Through these yoga sessions, she had the opportunity to work with many postpartum mothers and prenatal clients who attended her classes to achieve tranquility or prepare for childbirth. This experience captivated her, leading her to network within the community and discover her calling as a doula and later as a massage therapist.
Her journey as a doula began in 2019, when she started working under the mentorship of another doula. She developed a passion for birth work and decided to advance her career by completing postpartum training with DONA International and earning her birth doula certification with ProDoula. She also completed her massage therapy education at the Northern Virginia School of Therapeutic Massage. She continues to follow her passion—supporting people on their path to healing.
