Whole-Family Perinatal Support

Energy Is Life Local Advocacy is a Black-owned doula and advocacy practice guiding families through birth, benefits, and beyond.

Meet the Advocate Behind ELLA

Ebony Droste is a DONA-trained full-spectrum doula, Somatica-informed intimacy coach, and former federal maternal health policy architect. 


She wrote protections many families rely on, then stepped into the birthing room to close the gaps herself. 


Learn how her journey from policy to hands-on care supports your family's entire story while also helping you with Medi-Cal and IEHG coverage.

How It Works

First, reach out confidentially. Share your stage of pregnancy, postpartum, loss, intimacy concerns, or housing needs. Next, we clarify your goals together. We review coverage, map supports, and decide which pillars fit best. Then, care begins. You receive coordinated doula, coaching, navigation, and referrals so your family feels held, not shuffled.

Find Your Support

Ready for steady support instead of piecing it together alone? Explore doula care, intimacy coaching, community health navigation, and housing guidance under one warm, coordinated model. Share what you are facing, and we will walk you through coverage, options, and next steps at your pace.
