Hellooo! I’m Sallay (Sah-lay)! I am Sierra Leonean-American and grew up on the lands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, Lipan Apache, Oceti Sakowin, and Ute (otherwise known as Greeley, CO). As a Full Spectrum Birthworker, I am a community care worker who provides support through the entire spectrum of reproduction, including fertility, pregnancy, birth, loss, abortion, and postpartum. I strongly believe everyone deserves to be supported, seen, and heard, no matter what their choice or the what the outcome is. The support I offer is grounded in an understanding that you know more about what you are feeling in your body than anyone and I am there to support you tap into that space. Everyone's body and needs are unique and I am here to support and advocate for you.

For as long as I can remember, I have been interested in birth, understanding how our bodies transform throughout our lives, and how to help people through these changes. I have also always had a lot of interests and struggled between wanting to be an OB/GYN, a Pediatrician, a biomedical scientist, and working in public health. I first heard about doulas while I working at a daycare in college. I was really drawn to the community health aspect of doula work and the possibility of being able to provide relationship-based, person-centered care. A seed was planted and I thought that being a doula aligned with what I wanted to do in the future, but didn’t end up taking the leap until early 2022!

Before becoming a doula, I worked as an Immunology researcher for 5 years in Chapel Hill, NC. My projects have included the impacts of HIV on aging and an HIV Vaccine trial. I love geeking out about the immune system, and the microbiome, and learning all the ways to apply this knowledge to support my clients!

As your doula, I provide trauma-informed care that is mindful of potential systemic, historical, and personal triggers that may come up for you.

My practice is rooted in Liberation for all oppressed people, Land Back, reproductive justice, birth justice, disability justice, racial justice, climate justice, environmental justice, queer and trans justice, healing justice, children’s rights, and justice for all other survivors of childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault.  

I love just eating in general but also really enjoy trying new food! I love chillin in nature, gardening, fluffy clouds (especially at sunrise or sunset), dancing and listening to music, ​orange flowers, making art, and spending time with friends and family!

I really look forward to meeting and talking with you about how I can help you on your journey!
