Alongside her business partner, Nikki “Keyz” Patterson of The Indi Women’s Club, Vocheri has curated comprehensive perinatal doula care that is bespoke, evidence-based, and scaffolded with the cultural reverence and trauma-informed practices for countless families of all sizes and walks of life throughout Sacramento, Yolo, and Placer counties.

Hi Budz, my name is Keyz. I am a Chicago native currently living in Sacramento, Ca. I first found my passion for maternal and infant health while studying Public Health at The Ohio State University. After moving to California, I wanted to expand my knowledge from prevention and education to intervention. With a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing and a minor in women’s health, I bring an interesting perspective of clinical practice to doula support. Since then, I have also expanded my perinatal care to focus on maternal mental health and supporting clients psychologically and emotionally as they navigate parenthood. I offer clients access to information, tools, and resources that will help them sustain wellness over their lifetime. Moreover, as a certified doula and cannabis consultant I aim to educate, normalize, and advocate for the use of therapeutic cannabis in women’s health, particularly in aspects of birth and postpartum care. My goal is to heal communities of color that have been ravaged by the war on drugs by (1) reducing barriers to accessing cannabis, and (2) improving birth outcomes for Black birthing-people by restoring the cultural and medicinal connection between cannabis and womb health for all members of the African diaspora.
