About Earthlight Health
Born from Community. Built for Justice.
Earthlight Health & Wholistic Wellness is a BIPOC-led nonprofit dedicated to eliminating racial disparities in maternal and infant health through reproductive justice, culturally affirming care, and radical community love.
Our Mission
Nourish. Heal. Thrive.
We exist to ensure that every BIPOC family — regardless of zip code, income, or insurance status — has access to the wholistic care, education, and community support they deserve. We don't just treat symptoms. We dismantle the systems that create them.

Our Story
We started because we had to.
Earthlight Health was founded in response to a crisis hiding in plain sight: Black women in America are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Not because of biology — but because of racism, bias, and a healthcare system that was never designed with us in mind.
Our founders — themselves BIPOC mothers, doulas, and community health workers — came together with a shared conviction: that community-based, culturally affirming care saves lives. That when BIPOC families are surrounded by practitioners who look like them, speak their language, and understand their lived experience, outcomes change.
What began as a small circle of doulas and advocates has grown into a full-spectrum wellness organization serving hundreds of families across the region. Every program we offer, every workshop we host, every family we walk alongside — it is all rooted in that original conviction.

Core Programs
What We Stand For
Our values are not aspirational. They are operational.
Reproductive Justice
We center the framework of reproductive justice — the right to have children, not have children, and parent in safe and healthy environments — in everything we do.
Black Lives Matter in Birth
We are unapologetically committed to eliminating the racial disparities that make pregnancy and birth dangerous for Black and Brown families in America.
Community as Medicine
We believe that connection, belonging, and mutual support are not soft extras — they are essential components of health and healing.
Wholistic Wellness
We address the whole person — body, mind, spirit, and community — because true health cannot be separated from justice, dignity, and belonging.
Cultural Humility
We lead with cultural humility, continuously learning and adapting to honor the diverse backgrounds, traditions, and wisdom of the families we serve.
Radical Accountability
We hold ourselves accountable to our community — not to funders, not to systems, not to comfort. Our community's wellbeing is our north star.
Our Team
Led by community. Powered by love.
Our team is made up of certified doulas, lactation counselors, childbirth educators, community health workers, and reproductive justice advocates — all BIPOC, all deeply rooted in the communities we serve.
