Whether this is your first time, or you’ve crossed these waters before, each pregnancy, and with it, each spirit baby, carries the blueprint for its own rite of passage. Every birthing person deserves a supportive ear, a knowing eye, and a caring hand to navigate the deep transformative portals of pregnancy, birth, and post-partum. Perhaps the most tender and ferocious time in a womb-carrying person’s life–when the body, heart, mind, spirit expands to create, nurture, and birth a new being into the world, this portal is equally a rebirth for YOU.
Trained not only as a holistic doula, but as an herbalist, yogi, song-keeper, and ceremonialist, it is my honor to support you in making your menstruation, fertility, birth, postpartum, and menopause experiences sacred, uplifting, ancestral, and abundant. We will pray, sing, call forth, and bless these passages together.
Doula-work is love work, and I am called to be an instrument of love during this sacred time. To remind you that you are living inside one of the most potent ceremonies of your life. To help you flow with grace into great waters of your divine guidance. To help you take it slow, and savor the experience, through all its ups and downs, as it will never meet you again.
We will all be changed on the other side.

Ancient wisdom across tradition teaches that before we engage in the intentional act of conception, we must prepare our bodies, minds, spirits, and lives to receive.

In birthwork, postpartum is considered “the 4th-trimester” crucial to the ongoing physical and spiritual vitality of parent, child, and family, and yet it is so often forgotten or mismanaged. Ancient wisdom traditions teach that there is a “sacred window” after birth during which time mothers and birthing folks need high levels of care in order to heal from and integrate the birth experience, establish solid bonds with the newborn, and honor the cave of transformation taking place as she shifts from maiden to mother; or as they shift from Jack to Royal. This can be a highly activated and emotional time, as such tremendous change has just taken place at physical, emotional, and spiritual levels while many new duties and tasks are also required. During this highly open and vulnereable time, new mothers and birthing folks must be particularly careful about how they expend their time and energy–what they eat, who they see, what they hear, in addition to what the newborn is exposed to as all are creating energetic imprints for years to come. Postpartum doulas are there to cultivate, enhance, and protect the sacred space as new mothers, birthing folks, and families transform to expand now that the baby is Earthside. My role is both practical and metaphysical. I offer space to process the birth experience, share the ancient teachings created to guide us in this postpartum time, support with herbal preparations to optimize well-being for parents and baby, cook fresh Ayurvedic meals, offer light cleaning, care for the newborn when main caregivers need rest, and most importantly, tend mentally, physically, and spiritually to the person who just gave birth. As guided by spirit, I will also offer ceremonial support that can include closing of the bones ceremony, Reiki, postpartum herbal baths, and work with the elements.
The elders say that what we experience in perimenopause and menopause are our body's way of reporting what has and has not been in balance throughout our lifetime of menstruation. The wise women say that during this time we are burning away that which no longer serves us so that we can be of greatest service to humanity. In tandem with this time of deep spiritual change, our hormones are shifting, and as a result, we can experience an array of uncomfortable symptoms like hot flashes, fatigue, irritability, brain fog, insomnia, and increased anxiety and depression. I will support you in holistically addressing the root of your symptoms physically, mentally, and spiritually with an array of tools from yoga and dietary shifts to plant medicine, sound, creative writing, and Reiki. My toolbox is available and tailored to each individual. You don't have to move through this alone.
WOMB HEALING CONSULTATION Whether you are healing from irregular and heavy cycles, fibroids, or sexual trauma, I will support you in your womb healing journey. The womb is the record-keeper, the place where we store our memories and our repressed emotions--the archivist of our heart. Together, we will come up with a holistic plan to address your concerns using herbs, nutrition, emotional work, and ceremonial work, if that's something you are comfortable with.
POSTPARTUM HERBAL BATH Postpartum herbal baths are essential to healing from the experience of birth. Whether joyful or traumatic, the body and spirit has been opened, and must be soothed and tended to. With a custom blend of herbs, I will support you in setting intentions for this new chapter, and we will invoke song and prayer to ceremonially usher you into your new life as a mother and parent!
1 bath: $188 2 baths: $333 3 baths: $444
BIRTH SOUND PORTAL In the beginning, there was the Word. Sound, or as the ancient Sanskrit texts say, Naad, taps us into the vibration of creation. Be wrapped, covered, and held in the sacred sound of 432Hz crystal singing bowls, prayer, affirmation, and chanting with the harmonium, rattles, and bells through sacred songs, tailored to your needs, spiritual belief systems, and comfort level during your experience of birth. I will join you at home, in the birthing center, or the hospital--wherever you choose to give birth, to offer this medicine proven to reduce pain, support you in tapping into your power, and enhance the sacred experience of birth.

CLOSING OF THE BONES CEREMONY When we go through major transitions in life, they open up our energy, and put us in a vulnerable position. We have the potential to get stuck in the past, or have trouble stepping fully into our new present. Closing of the Bones is an ancestral tradition hailing from the Caribbean where I support you in closing up the energy of the past so that you can fully inhabit and embody your new present. This is traditionally practiced after a birth, after a death, after an assault or traumatic event, after a graduation, after a miscarriage, after an abortion, after a divorce, or after any other major shift has taken place. This practice assures that your soul travels with you wherever you go, and that you can invest fully in your present and future.

PREGNANCY RELEASE CEREMONY Losing a pregnancy can be one of the most painful experiences of your life. In this ceremony, we make sure the spirit of the baby has safe passage back to the realm of the unborn, and that you create the space in your womb to heal and move forward. You will have the chance to speak your truth, grieve, and do whatever it is that your soul is calling for to find acceptance and peace. You will be infused with love, care, mothering, and the spirit of the divine feminine to guide you on your path to whatever feels right as you lay the past to rest and dream into your future.

MENARCHE RITE OF PASSAGE We too often do not come into womanhood with ritual; instead we come in with shame, which often perpetuates misaligned action and traumatic futures. Every child becoming a woman, and every becoming woman through gender-affirmation, deserves a celebration welcoming her into the sacred tribe of woman-hood. Here, she can claim her place, state her values and truths, receive the support of her elders, and step fully into this new chapter of her life.

BLESSING WAY We often hear of baby showers, but I am called to offer Blessing Ways, to bless the way of the mother, parent, and family welcoming the new life. To bless the portal of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with affirmations of community, collective herbal medicine making, and ceremonial celebration for the times ahead, no matter what comes. We must surround mothers with warmth, love, support, and care to bring in the birth in a good way.
