About Me
It is my belief that I was brought here to be in the service of helping women and their families on their healing journey. For me, birth is an innate, natural, and physiological process; it is also a transformational and ceremonial experience. The ceremony of life will change you, but when we approach it with reverence we open the doorway to our highest empowered self.
When I was 9 years old, me, my pregnant mother, and 5 year old sister left my fathers house and moved into a single bedroom. It was an intimate setting where I was able to witness my mother endure many stages of pregnancy that also came with grief and separation. My mother began to teach me about what to expect during her labor.
About 5 months later, at the age of 10, I became her doula.
I knew that my role was to stay grounded and offer her support. This came naturally to me, as I was always quite calm in times of chaos, perhaps a survival skill.
As she breathed through each contraction, I served her water, ice chips, and listened to her careful instructions as I gathered our stuff for the hospital. This was her 3rd birth, my mother knew and explained that there was no need to rush to the hospital too early, so once we arrived it didn’t take long for her to start pushing.
During sacred births, the wisdom awakens the Divine Self. The womb offers us the natural ability to nurture, no matter the age. Naturally my instincts kicked in and my words of encouragement flowed into my mothers birthing space.
I remember holding her hand in amazement, thinking “Wow, my mother is so strong.”
The moment my sister was born, with tears in my eyes, I thought “I want to feel this moment forever.” A few months later, my godmother allowed me to support and witness her birth as well, I had no idea then that I was a mini doula in training.
Today, I am proud to say that I am a birth worker. I am proud to be part of the group of people revolutionizing maternity care.
I am here to provide ongoing support and non-judgmental space that creates love, transformation, and harmony in your beautiful birthing experience.
A sacred birth experience offers women the opportunity to be reborn. A loving space where you can let go of fear, control, shame and self-doubt, while learning to embrace trust, surrender, motherly love, wild woman instincts, and true wisdom from within.
