About Me
Get to Know Me!
Meet Serena Williams
Founder of Unshackled Birthing | Clinical Director at The Lactation Clinic at The Well
I’m Serena, a mother of three, a birth worker, and a guide for families walking one of life’s most sacred paths. My journey into this work began with two vastly different births: a cesarean that left me feeling disconnected, and a home birth that helped me reclaim my power. These experiences awakened a deep calling in me, to walk beside others as they navigate the transformative, tender threshold of birth and postpartum.
As a Full-Spectrum Doula, Certified Lactation Counselor, and Midwife’s Assistant, I offer care that blends clinical knowledge with heart-led intuition. I serve as the Clinical Director of The Lactation Clinic at The Well, where I support families in their feeding journeys with a holistic and evidence-based approach.
I believe birth is not just a physical event, it’s emotional, spiritual, and deeply personal. My care honors the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. Whether I’m holding space in labor, teaching a childbirth class, or offering gentle lactation support, my intention is always the same, to nurture you as you bring new life into the world, and to help you feel seen, supported, and sovereign in your choices.
Every few months, I host Birth Circles, sacred gatherings where stories are shared and healing is welcomed. I also teach childbirth and prenatal lactation classes designed to reconnect you with your intuition, your power, and your inner wisdom.
Outside of my hands-on work, I’m pursuing a degree in Political Science to help shift policy and reduce the maternal and infant mortality crisis from the inside out. Advocacy and access are core to everything I do.
