Peace! I am Tayler…

Founder of DAWA, a joyful lifestyle movement rooted in ancestral wellness. DAWA is the Kiswahili word for nature's medicine. My journey began in 2015 while studying African history, which awakened me to the greatness of my ancestors and sparked my love for nature and plant medicine.

As a mother of three, all conceived, birthed, and cared for in sacred ancestral ways, I was called to help other families experience joyful childbirth. Along the way, I discovered that our negative pregnancy and birth outcomes don’t just begin in pregnancy—they start long before conception. This truth led me to focus deeply on womb wellness as the foundation of generational health.

Through DAWA, I’ve trained over 100 wellness leaders across the Pittsburgh region, guiding families to reconnect with nature, nourish their bodies, and reclaim a legacy of healing. My vision is for every home to have a DAWA MAMA (Medicine Woman)—a woman who uses nature to heal herself, her family, and her community.

Together, we’re reestablishing a life full of vibrant health and JOY.
