Exploring Life & Business with Delivia Atkins

Today we’d like to introduce you to Delivia Atkins.

Hi Delivia, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Since a child, I have always been fascinated by pregnancy and birth! I witnessed my first birth at age 14 and knew then that I wanted to be apart of helping women during labor to give birth. For many years, I’ve wanted to become a Midwife, but as a single mom of 2 and so many other responsibilities of being a single parent, I haven’t been able to fully provide the time and commitment to do so.

In February of 2020, I finally decided it’s time to take over my life and let some things go so I can follow my dreams. I started researching and looking into programs I can apply to start my journey to become a Midwife and ran across the word Birth Doula. To be honest, when I finally found out what a Birth Doula was the beginning of 2020, (I thought to myself, OMG, what rock have I been under! LOL I’ve been doing this for years and never knew it was an actual name for it)! I took off from there and that is how “A Woman’s Worth-Birth Doula Services” was created. “A Woman’s Worth” originated from a Business Plan I wrote in college over ten years ago in college to obtain my Bachelor’s in Healthcare Service Management.

My goals were to become a Midwife and open a Birthing Center for women to have more freedom in their decision of how they want to give birth and experience a more holistic and natural approach to birth while providing a safe & trusted environment as well. My success as a Birth Doula has been wonderful! I still have goals of becoming a Midwife, but as a Birth Doula, I’ve found my purpose in life and can honestly say my passion for pregnancy and birth is so fulfilling I couldn’t imagine doing anything else in my life. I truly love what I do and I’m excited to continue to grow and learn more to give back that “real love” to women and babies!

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
It hasn’t been easy, a lot of hard work and sacrifices were made, but I can humbly say that the road has been smoother than I expected for the most part because as soon as I stepped out on faith and believed I could start my business; Doors that I needed and wanted to open, OPENED! That is how I know this was meant to be for me. I announced that I was officially accepting clients in July 2020 and attended my first birth as a Doula on July 24, and I have had many more after that and more births to attend in the year 2021. The feeling is amazing because even though I believed in myself, I was not expecting the overflow of support I received. I am very thankful for all the women who seek my help and trust me to embark in the pregnancy journey with them!

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
AWW-Birth Doula Services provides professional advocacy, emotional, physical, and educational support to any mother who is expecting, experiencing labor, or has given birth with also supporting lactation and postpartum support along with Placenta Encapsulation services as well. I have upcoming offerings and services that I will be adding to the list in 2021. My focus now is to continue to provide the essentials of my Doula Services so I can be 1000% dedicated to the moms who truly need me. I feel I am a unique, kind spirited woman with a heart of pure gold! My energy is immaculate and I thank God for it and that other people sense that about me as well. I have been told many times that my generosity and good energy is what makes me so special and how I can simply light up the room with my presence. It is my gift from God and I’m grateful for it! I am very appreciative & happy to share my calling to bless Mothers, Babies, & their families to provide a wonderful experience during the most influential time of their lives!

How do you define success?
I define success through happiness! At the end of the day, that’s what keeps me going. If I’m happy, I’m able to push myself more even if I’m overwhelmed; Then my kids, my family, clients, my household will be taken care of! I’m human and I have my days, but being a Birth Doula makes me happy! Seeing a mother give birth to her child makes me happy! It’s always rewarding to me to see the mother and baby together! Whether business is going great or running slow; This is what I’m choosing to do for a living and I love it! I feel as if I’ve already gained major success just from that and with consistency, I will continue to rise and become even better!
