Ala’s Oasis Support Services strives to decrease health disparities observed within Black and brown communities in birth and overall care. We seek to provide accessible, quality support ranging from pre-conception, birth, postpartum, reproductive education/rights and lactation. We focus on giving parents autonomy to self advocate with the physical, emotional, and informational support of a doula by their side knowing community and the ancestors are there with every step. We create space for black and brown people to find peace in traditional forms of care by prioritizing communal support and we encourage advocacy that pursues justice and liberation through birthwork.

Alaiya Cave
After completing her Bachelor’s degree in Biology at Cheyney University of Pennsylvania in 2019, Alaiya returned to Omaha with the hope of utilizing her education in the field of wildlife conservation and ecology as a public servant. During the offseason, Alaiya began to focus her efforts on becoming a full spectrum doula after learning about the healthcare disparities in black communities. She came to understand why she was being called to birthwork, to aid in the fight against medical racism.
​
Since December of 2019, Alaiya has trained as a Full Spectrum Doula with Ancient Song Doula Services based out of Brooklyn. She has received specialized training in Lactation Support, Pelvic Floor exercises, Postpartum Nutrition, and Herbal Support. She believes parents should be given the power and autonomy to make informed decisions regarding their care that will enable them to focus on their growth and healing over the course of pregnancy and postpartum. Alaiya can’t wait to push for more natural birthing options in Nebraska and provide doula support during all stages of pregnancy.
