Barbara Verneus, a first-generation Indigenous Haitian American from Brooklyn, NY, has embraced midwifery as a calling deeply rooted in her ancestral lineage. Beginning her journey as a doula in 2003, she felt a profound connection to the practice after discovering her maternal family's history of midwifery. Following volunteering with the African Birth Collective in Senegal in 2006, she committed to becoming a midwife and pursued training in multiple states.In 2013, Barbara's own experience of giving birth inspired her to launch Tiny and Brave Holistic Doula Services in 2015 and pursue a master's degree in counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family. She has since worked with midwifery practices in New York, Texas, and Pennsylvania, demonstrating a passion for supporting women and families through the childbirth process.Barbara's dedication extends beyond clinical practice; she has served as an advisor to teenage mothers at PathWays PA and conducted workshops on women's, reproductive, infant, and adolescent health. Her workshops have also addressed critical issues such as racism, motherhood, mental wellness, and the historical significance of Black midwives in radical birth work. Throughout her journey, Barbara has attended over 300 births and aims to provide comprehensive and empowering care to families in urban communities and abroad.With a vision focused on holistic care and advocacy, Barbara seeks to emphasize the importance of the family unit and address the marginalization and abuse faced by many.
