Hi, I'm Alisha. I'm the student midwife, holistic doula, placenta encapsulator, and child birth educator behind The Warrior Within. I have always been interested in learning about birth, but my journey into the field began in 2010 when I attended my first birth at 17 years old. This was one of the most incredible, life changing experiences I've had in my life, and it was at that point that I realized this was my calling. I began self-studying and attended births as doula until 2018 when I decided I wanted to do more. That year, I founded The Warrior Within and began teaching the world about birth. I continued attending births until 2019, when I decided to become a certified holistic doula through the Naturopathic Institute of Therapies and Education (NITE). Once I graduated my program, I applied to MCU and attended there as a student midwife until 2021, when I decided I wanted to pursue a path that aligned more with my visions of how I wanted to practice as a midwife. I am now currently going through the PEP route to become a licensed midwife in the state of Michigan. My goal is to graduate in 2 more years. In addition to my midwifery studies, I'm also continuing my education at NITE to become a naturopathic doctor. My goal is to become a licensed naturopathic midwife in Michigan.
