Who We Are
We Listen. We Support. We Care.
Knowledge is a protection.
At Genesis Birth Services
We hold the belief that knowledge is a protection. We provide unbiased, culturally sensitive, evidence-based education and support to help you make informed choices for your body or your baby.
From Where It Started
Womb Stories to Womb Tending
Genesis Birth Services was officially established in 2016 by Gerria Coffee after her own births and observing others identified major gaps in Pregnancy, Pregnancy Loss, and Childbirth support, specifically for marginalized groups. Already aiding parents in infant feeding and breastfeeding support and attending births, she wanted to create a space where anyone who needed support would be able to find it.
Genesis Birth Services provides culturally competent support for families of diverse backgrounds. It can be a challenge to find support from someone who understands and respects your background and lived experiences. Representation does make a big difference.
Our Mission
Equitable Support for Every Family
Our greatest aspiration is to provide equitable support and education to the families often underserved and underrepresented in Pregnancy and Childbirth. If you have a womb, this is the place to find the care you deserve.

Our Commitment
In efforts to aid in the reduction of these statistics, Genesis Birth Services is dedicated to improving birth outcomes by making education and support in pregnancy, postpartum care, and breastfeeding a priority for all — with a keen focus on marginalized groups such as Black Women, Teens, Parents with Low Income, and persons with disabilities.
We serve families of varying levels of income and backgrounds with the belief that all persons should have support in the beginning of their journey and beyond, regardless of income, age, race, religion, cultural preferences, gender, or ability.
