About Me
My path to this work began as a child in the kitchens and living rooms of my Grandmothers.
I would sit quietly and listen attentively as they spoke of old family stories , remedios (traditional remedies), plants, seemingly magical occurrences and births ---topics so mysterious and exciting to my young mind!
Even as a child, I felt an incredibly strong connection to my ancestors, these stories and traditional ways.
As I grew into an adult, I was constantly searching for "my calling" and work that would honor my traditions while still being of service in the modern world.
I went on to formally study massage and body work, herbalism and birth; and what I found was that all of these practices are intricately and beautifully woven together within my own cultural and ancestral knowledge. It is the work of a Partera--
A Midwife
I love being a midwife because it brings together so many elements of life that I am passionate about: science, intuition, reproductive justice, sacred mystery, self expression and empowerment.
With gratitude, I thank my teachers and elders for the opportunity to walk this ancient path.
