The Village of Sacred Melanin pioneers a comprehensive and cultural approach to birth work, education, and yoga that venerates Ancestral and traditional wisdom while weaving green living into the essence of our close-knit village. We are a wombman-led organization sewn by our rich culture of Afro-Indigenous roots. Still, our village is a patchwork of unified military families who we are honored to support. Our mission is to help our Military village harmonize their well being by seamlessly interweaving the tapestry of birth justice, maternal mental health, and wellness. We conceive of birthing an ecosystem that nourishes the wholistic well being of Military families throughout every stage of their reproductive journey, no matter where they are around the globe. While Military families are frequently excluded from reproductive justice conversations, Sátin Marché, founder of The Village of Sacred Melanin, continues to challenge the conversation frameworks by advocating for justice on behalf of her Military village. With intentions to rebirth the culture of childbirth within military culture through sustainable practices, Sátin Marché joins forces with Military Birth Resource Network Postpartum Coalition (MBRNPC), as a founding chapter leader at Fort Stewart, Hunter Army Airfield, GA. https://www.mbrnpc.org/ft-stewart Sátin’s Certifications & Credentials include: Kemetic Reiki I Practitioner - Ra Sekhi Arts Temple - January 2020 Kemetic Reiki II Practitioner - Ra Sekhi Arts Temple - July 2020 Womb Yoga Dance Practitioner - Queen Afua Wellness Institute - September 2022 dōTERRA Essential Oil Specialist - September 2022 Womb Wellness Facilitator and Fertility Strategist - The Mothership Institute of Womb Wellness - October 2022 Green Interior Decorating and Design - University of Texas, Arlington - January 2023 Childbirth Educator - The Mothership Institute of Womb Wellness - December 2023 Adult, Child, & Baby First Aid/CPR/AED - October 2023 Certified Labor Doula (CLD) - Healthy Start of North Central FL (G.R.O.W Doula) - November 2023 Lactation Educator - Healthy Start of North Central FL - February 2024 Postnatal Yoga Instructor - Awakened Spirit Yoga - June 2024 Certified Baby Wearing Educator - Mammissi Birth Services - July 2024 Certified Labor Doula (CLD) - Childbirth and Postpartum Professional Academy (CAPPA) at Oceanside Hypnobirthing - October 2024 We only accept Tricare insurance & private pay options from doula clients at this time.
