Full-Spectrum Doula | Maternal Health Advocate | Founder of CocoaCares

Chena Benson-Davis is a certified full-spectrum doula, lactation counselor, and passionate advocate for holistic maternal and family wellness. With over a decade of experience supporting women and families through birth, postpartum, and early parenting, Chena founded CocoaCares Nanny Agency to bridge the gap between families and culturally competent, heart-centered care.

Raised in a vibrant blend of Caribbean and American traditions, Chena brings deep cultural awareness, compassion, and professionalism to every aspect of her work. She is also the founder of Butta’s Holistic Services, where she supports moms of color with birth education, womb care, and public health advocacy.

Through CocoaCares, Chena’s mission is clear: to create a nurturing ecosystem where families feel supported, careworkers are valued, and every child is held with intention.
