Meet My-Ja Younger, CD, CPD | Full Spectrum Doula, Priestess, Mommy, Licensed Cosmetologist, Rare Disease Advocate, Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with My-Ja Younger, CD, CPD and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi My-Ja, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“Heavy Lays The Head That wears The Crown” – William Shakespeare “Change is gone come” – Rosa Parks
“All is one”

For me These are near and Dear to my heart. “Nobody said the road would be easy” and “faith without work is Dead”. Within my Journey i have learned that Nothing comes easy, if you want it you have to get up and Manifest it! Get to it and Just Do it! Let nothing or Nobody stop you! There will be tower moments and there will be times you truly just want to take the day off. Within running your own business you’re not just making money. For me My goals are different as i am a mega Manifestor as well as i have unshakable Faith. My crown may carry a lot of weight as i wear many. I have so many responsibilities, however i am a prayer warrior. As thee Empress i am i light a tea light. Dress it and Pray. Everyone needs someone who can drop everything and contribute to their healing. I definitely get tired. But for me I Pride myself in keeping balance and staying grounded so believe me when i say Change has Already Come! We are one, all is one is a beautiful quote that myself and my spiritual coven always represent. We are healers. I could easily be going through something, does that stop me from praying for my loved ones?! No! I know my purpose and i stand firm in each room i step in rooted in Truth and Generational curse breaking. It may not always be easy. But it’s worth it! “When you do what you love, you’ll Never have to work a day in your life” I Do Everything I Love and with Purpose.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I was born with Sickle Cell Anemia, type SS which is one of the things that led me to Herbalism. I was diagnosed at 11 months old. Dr. Wanda Whitten- Shurney and The whole crew were sent to be a blessing. I remember I’d ask myself why me? Because it wasn’t easy, Well i stopped asking that so long ago even spending months in hospital beds… because WHY NOT me?! GOD GIVES HIS TOUGHEST BATTLES TO HIS STRONGEST WARRIORS. I am A Warrior and I had to endure alot to get here. I’m always told how easy i make it look. When i was pre- med I’d be in the hospital in sickle cell crisis still studying. I dream BIG, and I’ve always been hard on myself. There’s alot of myths about Sickle Cell and here i am to help people heal, provide understanding, bridge the gap, and most certainly heal in different ways such as wholistic medicine. Candle therapy, reiki, meditation, sound baths, womb steaming, and absolutely Spiritual healing baths are used as i bring my spirituality to the forefront. We all need healing. Everyone! As a Doula i provide Care to many families, i bring light in so many ways. Women are Resilient in so many ways. I specialize in antepartum as so many women don’t understand the benefits of preparing for each birth. The body is a self healing vessel. I usher them in and i also usher them out. The very same support needed when bringing a life is the same support needed when ushering life out. At In Her Hands Birthing Services and products we focus on your complete and total healing. Everything i do has a purpose and i stand on my Purpose. Where the healing Resides.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If a friend of mine was coming to visit i would of course take them to the water right By Keens marina to Sinbads where we can enjoy the water, vibes, scenery.After manifesting by the water, I would of course take them for a Big Hit at MGM Grand Casino where we can WIN big and also Enjoy the scenery. Let’s not forget their spa. We would get dressed for a night on the River because of course what’s the water without Yacht Life?! I don’t care if my friend eats Vegan because after Lunch the next Day at Trap Vegan i guarantee they’ll squeeze me tight. I’m a foodie lol i might be Vegan/ Pescatarian but i know what to eat and where. After that I’d have to have a chill night so we are chillin on the sofa watching a lil Family Business and all the Queens Men. Let’s have Some FireassVegan, it’s a little cold and their Chilli and sweet potato cornbread is everything. Ring Ring Ring Mama i need some Deviled Eggs, ring ring ring Auntie i need mini sweet potato pies, it’s going to be a girls night we don’t want to forget. Right on the Rooftop of 3Fifty Terrace Vip Section. Yesss let’s get Dressed in our presidential suite and enjoy the Monarch Club. After we have had a time we must rest, the next morning Empress MJ (That’s Me) shall prepare a royal Brunch with Plenty of fruit, Alkaline water, the best food, and of course Mimosas.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
