Founder’s story
We are here to heal the mind, comfort the mourning, and mend the brokenhearted.
Alexandra Ayaaya
Founder and Executive Director, Fruitful Wombs (United States)
After experiencing the loss of her eighth pregnancy, the loss of her father and the loss of her marriage, Alexandra came to understand deeply what it means to need someone willing to walk beside you through difficult seasons.
A Certified Birth and Bereavement Doula and Certified Faith-Based Clinical Counselor, she has served her community for more than 15 years. She believes no one should have to walk through life’s hardest moments alone.
In their own words
Stories of support
From families we have walked alongside.
From the very beginning, she made sure I never felt alone, offering her time, her care, and her unwavering encouragement every step of the way.
Transportation has always been a hurdle for me, but with Alexandra’s support, I was able to get a lot of things done.
“Together, we create a community where women can heal, grow, and move forward with hope.”
- Connect with others who understand
- Find practical resources
