Jeanette Muibi is a certified doula, Black maternal health consultant, and MPH candidate at OHSU — supporting families through birth and helping organizations build healthier communities.
I'm a Black woman, a new mother, and a firm believer that every person deserves to feel informed, respected, and supported through birth. That conviction drives everything I do — in the birth room and at the policy table.
I'm a certified doula and a public health professional completing my MPH at OHSU. My work lives at the intersection of intimate birth support and the systems-level change needed to make Black maternal health outcomes in America look different.
I founded and ran Wema, a RACC-funded wellness community for Black women in Portland, because I know that community care is healthcare. I speak English and Swahili and I welcome families from all backgrounds.
Connect With MeI provide public health consulting services to clinics, nonprofits, health systems, and community organizations. Each service below is a distinct offering — reach out to discuss which fits your needs.
I help your organization understand what the communities you serve actually need — using interviews, focus groups, and surveys that go beyond surface-level feedback. The result: real insight you can act on, not data that sits in a report.
Start a project →I help you build genuine relationships with your community — not just check a box. I design engagement plans that bring the right voices into your work, so the programs and policies you create actually reflect the people they're meant to serve.
Build your strategy →I assess whether your program is working — and why. I look at what's landing, what's missing, and what your community actually thinks. You walk away with clear findings and practical recommendations you can use right away.
Evaluate your program →You deserve to feel confident, informed, and deeply supported on one of the most important days of your life. I'm here for every step — before, during, and after.

The Immigrant Story · Many Roads to Here
Before the consulting framework, there was Wema — a monthly wellness community I built for Black women in Portland, funded by the Regional Arts & Culture Council. Free programming. Community-led. Centered on mental health, healing, and belonging.
That program ran for a year, produced real community data, and taught me what it actually means to hold space. The program ended due to funding. The model — and the lessons — inform every consulting engagement I take on today.
"A community like this is very healing. The acknowledgment that you are not alone is something everyone deserves."— Wema Community Attendee
"I love that openness and vulnerability is a strong advantage of this group — in a society where silence is overwhelming."— Community Member
"The warmness in the community. I feel it's a safe space where I can be myself."— Wellness Program Participant
Whether you're a family preparing for birth, a health organization building community programs, or an event looking for a speaker with both data and lived experience — reach out. I'd love to hear what you're working on.
