Introducing our comadre k’mae Martinez, a biracial, q***r, full-spectrum doula, bodyworker, herbalist, and educator raised between the hills and ocean of unceded Kumeyaay territory in what’s now known as San Diego, CA. Her path into birthwork came as a soul’s calling, rooted in the knowing that it takes deep love, patience, and compassion to truly walk alongside someone on their childbearing journey.
With a profound reverence for the innate wisdom of the Womb and the body, k’mae’s work is guided by both ancestral memory and lived experience. Since 2019, she has trained with beloved mentors including Sarah Naia Soleil, Maestra Tema Mercado, Maestra Irasema Reza-Bailey, Qiddist Ashe, Ginger Webb, Reanne Madison, Paula Leeper, and organizations such as Birthing Advocacy, Birthing From Within, Spinning Babies, and DONA International.
Currently offering care for the full continuum of the Womb—holding space for all experiences it carries—k’mae provides full-spectrum doula support, postpartum belly binding, rebozo therapy, and perinatal bodywork, as well as traditional closing ceremonies and educational classes. Her approach blends ancestral traditions with intuitive, heart-centered care, meeting each person where they are with gentleness and respect.
Learn more about and her offerings!

We are the only collective fully formed and run by bilingual Latina birth companions in the greater Austin area. We came together to create something that would foster community as well as empower families. We all either work for or volunteer for nonprofits who work with under-served communities, our communities. We've worked with nonprofit organizations such as Mama Sana Vibrant Women, GALS, Casa Marianella, Safe Place and more. These organizations can help pregnant people have better birth outcomes. When there are better birth outcomes, that can creates a shift on how that birthing person and baby move forward as a family, as members of the community. We feel all people deserve positive birthing experiences.
Co·ma·dre [ko máa dray] NOUN
Literal translation from the Spanish language is; co-mother. It's used to show respect to a close friend or comrade. Typically reserved to identify someone who has a special shared responsibility with you, it can also be the person you selected to be the godmother of your child.
Somos el único colectivo completamente formado y dirigido por compañeras de nacimiento latinas bilingües en el área de Austin. Nos unimos para crear algo que fomentara la comunidad y empodera a las familias. Hemos trabajado con organizaciones que asisten familias sin recursos como Mama Sana Vibrant Women, GALS, Casa Marianella, Safe Place y más. Estas organizaciones pueden ayudar a las mujeres embarazadas a tener mejores resultados en el parto. Cuando hay mejores resultados en el parto, eso puede crear un cambio en la forma en que esa persona de parto y su bebé avanzan como familia, como miembros de la comunidad. Sentimos que todas las personas merecen experiencias positivas de parto.
