About

Royan is a native Washingtonian with “a touch of Bahamian flavor”. She has been a postpartum doula for 23 years and a labor doula for 22 years.  Her major focus as a postpartum doula is in helping to set good sleep habits for parents and babies.  She believes that when parents get good sleep at night, their days look brighter.  Her clients affectionately call her the “Sleep Fairy”.

Royan loves being a doula and helping new parents survive the more challenging parts of parenthood so that they can enjoy their entire family at a later time.  To her, it is the most fulfilling vocation.
