Client Feedback
Founder & CEO, The Wellness You Desire®
Désirée Sprauve is a global women’s and maternal health consultant who has been a birthworker since 2018. Formerly practicing as a certified holistic doula and RYT certified perinatal yoga and meditation teacher, she has guided more than 2,000 women and mothers through various life-changing transitions.
“At my first official birth, the midwife was delayed by traffic, so I caught the baby myself. A blessing. My heart has been lit up for women, mothers, fathers, and families ever since.”
Of Caribbean descent, Désirée draws on herbal medicine and ethnomedicine rooted in her heritage, weaving ancestral wisdom into evidence based care.
Before birthwork, she spent over a decade leading global operations and strategy across the aerospace and automotive industries, negotiating multi-million dollar supply chain contracts across five industries and seven countries. She was thriving on paper and quietly suffering in her body, and that pain became her calling, first to heal herself, then to help women and mothers do the same.
Today, she’s is also a graduate student in medical anthropology and public health with a concentration in health policy, work that sharpens the same rigor she once brought to the boardroom. Her approach blends evidence based education with culturally rooted, spirit honoring care, giving high-performing women permission to slow down, reclaim their energy, and lead their lives the way they lead everything else: fully, and on their own terms.
She has spoken and developed curriculum, for organizations including the NYC Department of Health, the University of Pittsburgh, Johnson C. Smith University, Charlotte MEDWeek, and The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, translating research, culture, and lived experience into guidance built for women who don’t have time to guess.
