My name is Shakti Maatka Mwamba, I am a Hatha Yoga teacher and an African American Doula. I am also a HypnoBirthing Practitioner, Natural Hair Sulptress, and an Intuitive Wellness Coach.

I've practiced Yoga for a number of years but my turning point came when I became pregnant and had to search for a Black Prenatal Yoga Teacher. I was living in London at the time so it was very difficult. However, in returning back to the States I saw it was not any better for women of color to receive support from people who looked like them in the area of Prenatal care. So I sought out to become that in which I needed most myself, a Black Yoga Teacher and a Black Doula committed to the support of minority and low-income women.

Peace & Blessings -
I apologize for not responding back to you in a timely fashion. Things hav ebeen extremely busy at work. Anyhow, you wanted info on where I received my Reiki certification. I was trained by a sister by the name of Deirdre who lives in Chicago as well. If you like, I can connect the two of you together so that you can begin your journey as a reiki practitioner.

Congratulations on reaching your goal! At my last Yoga Retreatfor women of Color we had two guest teachers Jana Long, who is a certified Yoga teacher and her focus is on Yoga and Ayurvveda and Dr. Carol Penn who is a medical physician and a Doula. This is a great opportunity to spread the word aobut your work and connect with women of color. I look forward to meeting you at the next Yoga Retreat for Women of Color, June 6-8 at the Kripalu Centerfor Yoga and Health. www.kripalu.org; www.mayabreuer.com. And at our next gathering.

Om Shanthi,

Maya Breuer
