About Roots & Honey Love

Roots & Honey Love was created from the belief that families deserve to be cared for with the same tenderness, intention, and community that has nurtured generations before us.

We offer holistic, evidence-informed support through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenthood, combining education, advocacy, hands-on care, and optional traditional wellness practices to help families feel confident, respected, and deeply supported throughout their journey.

Our philosophy is simple: there is no one "right" way to experience birth or parenthood. Every family carries their own story, values, traditions, and dreams. We believe care should honor those differences—not ask families to fit into a single mold.

Whether we're providing labor support, overnight postpartum care, preparing placenta remedies, sharing childbirth education, nourishing recovery with herbal offerings, or simply holding space during moments of uncertainty, our goal remains the same: to help families feel safe, empowered, and never alone.

The name Roots & Honey Love reflects everything we hope to cultivate. Roots symbolize grounding, ancestry, resilience, and the strong foundation every family deserves. Honey represents warmth, gentleness, nourishment, and the sweetness found within community and connection. Together, they embody the heart of our work—care that is deeply rooted and lovingly given.

We know that birth is only the beginning. Our hope is to walk alongside families as they grow, helping them build confidence, trust themselves, and embrace each new chapter with compassion and support.

At Roots & Honey Love, we don't believe families simply need someone to guide them—we believe they deserve someone who will walk beside them.

Meet Destiny

Founder of Roots & Honey Love

Destiny King-Bernier is a full-spectrum doula, childbirth educator, placenta preparation specialist, and postpartum care provider dedicated to supporting families with warmth, compassion, and evidence-informed care. Through her practice, Roots & Honey Love, she believes every family deserves to feel deeply seen, respected, and nurtured as they move through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenthood.

Her approach blends practical education with intuitive, holistic support—meeting each family where they are while honoring their values, traditions, and unique vision for birth and parenting. Whether providing continuous labor support, overnight postpartum care, preparing placenta remedies, or simply offering a calm presence during life's biggest transitions, Destiny strives to create spaces where families feel safe, confident, and cared for.

Destiny completed her Full-Spectrum Doula and Childbirth Educator training through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings (BADT), whose mission of culturally responsive, socially conscious, and inclusive care continues to shape her work. With a bachelor's degree in Mental Health and Counseling, she brings a trauma-informed, emotionally attuned approach to every interaction, recognizing that mental and emotional well-being are inseparable from physical health throughout the perinatal journey.

Her care extends beyond birth itself. As a placenta preparation specialist, Safe Sleep Ambassador, and passionate advocate for postpartum recovery, Destiny believes families deserve ongoing support long after their baby arrives. She also incorporates optional herbal wellness into her practice, thoughtfully offering handcrafted teas, salves, and other plant-based preparations for families who wish to include traditional, nature-inspired care alongside modern evidence-based support.

At the heart of Destiny's work is a simple belief: birth and postpartum are not experiences meant to be navigated alone. She hopes every family she serves walks away feeling empowered by knowledge, grounded in confidence, and wrapped in the kind of community-centered care that allows them to grow, heal, and thrive.

“Rooted in care. Dripping in love.”
