Who We Are

Flow Freely is a holistic doula practice supporting individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and loss. We provide steady, nurturing, and intentional guidance designed to meet each family’s unique journey. Clients may choose to include Reiki energy work, guided meditation, and grounding practices as part of their doula experience to support mind, body, and soul.

Flow Freely was created out of a belief that every birth and transition deserves to be met with presence, care, and respect. Our approach is rooted in honoring the full spectrum of the human experience; the physical, emotional, and energetic, so that families feel truly supported in the ways that matter most to them.

We prioritize care around your choices, values, and traditions. Every family’s experience is unique, and we adapt our support to honor your cultural background, spiritual practices, and personal preferences. Our goal is to create a nurturing space where you can feel fully seen, heard, and affirmed throughout your journey.

We offer physical and emotional guidance, education, advocacy, and presence for families preparing for birth, navigating labor, welcoming a baby, or moving through pregnancy loss. By supporting the emotional, physical, and energetic aspects of each experience, Flow Freely provides care that is holistic, integrative, and fully attuned to you.

Our goal is simple: to ensure you feel supported, respected, and affirmed in your voice, choices, and experience ~ every step of the way.

Meet DaVona

My name is DaVona L.C. Pacley and I am a birth and postpartum birth keeper also known as a doula, in Erie, Pennsylvania. I currently reside in the City of Erie with my dope ass Wife. I have a deep love for community, art, music, food and being in nature.

Wow, were do I begin because my journey has not been a linear one. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others in some capacity. It wasn’t until I began to work on my own healing and deep diving that I have recognized my own personal power. There were years of learning and unlearning behaviors, old belief and unhealthy patterns that no longer served me. I’ve made mistakes, took risks, and became comfortable with speaking my truth. If you continue to follow me, then you will learn a lot more about me. I am a truth seeker, life-long learner, compassionate being who enjoys creating, cultivating change and birthing new beginnings.

I have spent most of my life going through the healing process and I want to help others do the same. I'm always shifting and changing but my goal remains the same; that is to guide those who are seeking support and comfort to flow freely within themselves. 

Peace & Blessings <3
