Today we’d like to introduce you to Yasmin Davis.
Hi Yasmin, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I decided to start my own business after experiencing infant loss. I realized that once a birthing person has a baby that’s it and that is all. We lose the care and love that we once received while pregnant. The birthing person seems to become lost after the baby is born. The same goes for infant and child loss not a lot of support or resources are available. And because of that a lot of people experience postpartum depression and other mental health issues.
I experienced it myself and it lingered on for almost 4 years. I shifted my original plan of providing general care as an acupuncturist and took classes specifically on mental health. I also learned a new skill to become a postpartum doula. Focusing more on the care and mental health of those in postpartum. I thought about working in a clinic that was already established but it just didn’t sit right in my heart. I sat with the idea for almost a year and decided to act upon it and open Radiant Sky Wellness Center. It is named after the child I lost at birth and his surviving twin sister.
Radiant for Raiden his name and because once you are mentally happy you shine like the light and that is what the thought of my son does for me, Sky for his surviving twin sister’s middle name, and also because once you feel good and radiate your light you are now able to reach for the Sky because the sky is the limit and you can live your best and true life. I needed to have my own so that I could provide the proper services and care that I felt was needed.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall, and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Starting was very difficult. I had no idea how to market myself or how to incorporate traveling between two states to see clients.
I am mobile so I see clients in Minnesota as well as Arizona which can be difficult during winter, but I have made it to where I can see and treat my clients every other week if they are in two different locations.
We’ve been impressed with Radiant Sky Wellness Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Radiant Sky Wellness Center is a compassionate and holistic mobile clinic dedicated to bringing postpartum care and support the right to the doorstep of new mothers, birthing persons, and seasoned parents. Here’s an overview of what Radiant Sky Wellness Center does as a mobile clinic:

Our commitment is to their well-being and the well-being of their family during this precious time.
So maybe we end by discussing what matters most to you and why.
What matters most to me is the well-being of our community and the power of natural healing. I believe in the inherent wisdom of the earth and our bodies to heal themselves when given the right environment and support.
Our connection to nature and each other is essential for a thriving, harmonious life. When we prioritize natural healing methods and foster a strong, supportive community, we can achieve lasting health and happiness while preserving the delicate balance of our planet.
