Davida Gordon

Primary Focus

My name is Davida. I was born and raised in the United States and am fluent in English and Hebrew. I am a yoga teacher and bodywork practitioner, and a doula in training, supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood with a holistic, grounded, and empowering approach. My background in yoga and somatic bodywork allows me to support both the physical and emotional aspects of birth, with an emphasis on breath, body awareness, nervous system regulation, and deep presence. I also spent many years working as a nanny, accompanying infants and families in the early stages of life, which strengthened my connection to new life, parenthood, and gentle, attentive care. My Philosophy I believe birth is a deeply physical and emotional experience. When a woman feels safe, supported, and connected to her body and breath, space opens for trust, choice, and inner strength. My approach weaves together body-based support, breath, movement, meditation, and sensory awareness, honoring each woman’s unique rhythm and birth journey.

About Me

I am a birth doula in training (certification expected June), yoga teacher, and bodywork practitioner with a strong foundation in women’s health, somatic work, breath, and body awareness. Born and raised in the United States, I offer support in both English and Hebrew. I support women and families through pregnancy and birth with a holistic, grounded approach that honors both the individual and the family unit. Drawing from years of body-based work, I bring tools for physical comfort, emotional regulation, and presence, while encouraging partners to feel confident, involved, and supported throughout the birth process.

Why I Do This

I have been deeply interested in life, pregnancy, and women’s health from a young age. Over time, my passion for the body, healing, and meaningful life transitions naturally led me toward birth work. Training as a doula allows me to combine my love for supporting women with my belief in the mind–body–soul connection, and my desire to help families feel supported, informed, and empowered as they welcome new life.

My Unique Approach

My approach is holistic, family-centered, and grounded in presence. I work with the body through breath, movement, touch, oils, and other gentle holistic practices to support relaxation, comfort, and emotional safety during pregnancy and birth. I place importance on including partners in the process, helping them feel confident and connected so they can be an active source of support. My goal is to create a calm, empowering space where women feel seen, supported, and able to trust their bodies and their birth journey.
