Reimagining How the World Understands Women’s & Maternal Health

The Wellness You Desire® is an ecosystem of natural and evidence informed solutions built to help ambitious women and mothers have healthier periods, pregnancies, and postpartum experiences. We believe health and womanhood are shaped by more than biology. Culture, environment, and lived experience all influence how a woman moves through menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum, so our approach draws on public health, medical anthropology, reproductive science, and traditional wellness practices to support the whole woman, not just her symptoms.

We help women navigate their health with clarity, confidence, and curiosity, so they can make decisions that align with their values and their lives. We proudly serve women of every background, with particular depth for those whose traditions have long embraced natural and integrative healing, always grounded in evidence.

We also partner with organizations that understand women’s health is a workplace and leadership priority, not only a personal one. Through healthcare strategy consulting, curriculum, and research translated into clear, usable tools, we shape the programs, policies, and systems that determine whether women actually thrive.

Who This is for

You've already invested in yourself, in therapy, coaching, courses, the good sneakers for the Saturday hike, and you're ready to bring that same intention to your health.

Done waiting. Painful periods, heavy bleeding, unanswered questions about pregnancy and postpartum, you're not interested in white-knuckling through it anymore.
A strategist, not just a seeker. You want a plan for your cycle, your pregnancy, your postpartum recovery, not just vibes.
Open, not closed. Ancestral practices, meditation, energy work, wisdom that didn't come from a Western medical textbook, you're curious about all of it.
Both/and, not either/or. Evidence AND intuition. Science and spirit. Corporate ambition and womb wisdom.
Ready for community. You've felt spiritually lost or unsupported before, and you're looking for a space that gets it.

This might not be the right fit if:

You want a quick fix. This is a relationship with your mind, body, spirit, and womb, not a one-and-done.
You're not open to practices outside your own tradition. Ancestral wisdom, spiritual practices from other cultures, ways of healing that didn't come from a textbook, this space asks for curiosity, not certainty.
Womanhood feels like one story to you. We hold space for the full range, shaped by culture, heritage, and lived experience, not a single template.

10.8%

Only 10.8% of NIH research funding goes toward women's health, despite women being half the population. Modern medicine still doesn't fully understand the female body, which is exactly why TWYD blends evidence with ancestral wisdom that was never waiting on a grant to prove it works.

80%

80%+ of pregnancy-related deaths are preventable. The causes are rarely just medical, it's knowledge gaps, dismissed symptoms, and no support system in place. TWYD closes that gap: educating women on warning signs, helping them advocate for better care, and creating the community so many are navigating pregnancy and postpartum without.

What We Believe

Woman, defined by us. We use the term woman for folks who identify as such and have or had a womb, as our work is all womb-related. We honor the experiences of all people, and we do not tolerate hate toward any group.

Nature first. Nature is a profound healer. Our first suggestion will always be that of mother nature — plants, herbs, berries, roots, homeopathy, and more.

The whole picture. It's essential to take a holistic, comprehensive view of your life in order to best serve your specific needs and desires.

You already know. Our role as your wellness guide is to create an environment that allows you to listen to your own intuition. We invite you to be empowered and make the best decisions for you and your family — supported by physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual guidance.

Humility over ego. The wisest (womb)man knows that (s)he knows nothing at all. If there's a topic we haven't mastered, we'll find the answer or point you to someone who has.

Respect, always. We support good-hearted, respectful, and genuine people, regardless of race, religion, class, sexual preference, or age. The same is expected of everyone who engages with The Wellness You Desire.

Each one, teach one. As we learn, we must teach. Anything you learn from us, we ask that you share with at least three others.

Laughter is medicine. We don't take healing — or ourselves — too seriously.

Who founded the Wellness You Desire?

Désirée Sprauve founded The Wellness You Desire® after a decade-long career in aerospace and automotive supply chain management, following a BBA from Howard University. Outwardly successful, she was privately struggling with painful periods and burnout — an experience that led her back to her body's wisdom and into training as a holistic doula, yoga instructor, meditation teacher, and maternal health practitioner.
Her turn toward birthwork was also driven by the alarming maternal mortality rates facing Black women, a crisis she felt called to help address.
Originally from Brooklyn, NY and of Caribbean heritage, she is now based in Charlotte, serving clients worldwide through virtual and in-person offerings. Sprauve built The Wellness You Desire® as a bridge between science and spirit, guiding women through the sacred reproductive transitions of periods, pregnancy, and postpartum using herbal remedies, nourishing foods, yoga, meditation, and African/Indigenous practices rooted in her own cultural heritage.
