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.

Binti is a devotee to Creator, a quiet force in the world, and an optimistic visionary of what’s to come. She believes that the state of the world can only improve once we are willing to reconcile our personal and collective wounds, and embody a true state of healing in our day-to-day.

Binti is currently a full-spectrum doula, trained yoga teacher, herbalist, placenta medicine maker, and student of traditional midwifery. She is certified to provide traditional birth companionship and postpartum support. She brings her herbalism and yoga background into her practice as well, by creating teas and other blends for clients, or talking about the power to be found in connected somatic movement.

Binti believes everything begins and ends with birth. When we can center healing, a love for humanity, and a connection to Source within birth *first*, she knows the ripple effects will be immeasurable.

Binti enjoys reading, painting, cuddling with her cat Nala, and being out in nature. 🌳🌬️🦋✨

Binti es una devota del Creador, una fuerza silenciosa en el mundo y una visionaria optimista de lo que está por venir. Ella cree que el estado del mundo sólo puede mejorar una vez que estemos dispuestos a reconciliar nuestras heridas personales y colectivas, y encarnar un verdadero estado de curación en nuestro día a día.

Binti es actualmente una doula, profesora de yoga, herbolaria, fabricante de medicamentos para la placenta y estudiante de partería tradicional. Está certificada para brindar acompañamiento tradicional en el parto y apoyo posparto. También aporta su experiencia en herboristería y yoga a su práctica, creando tés y otras mezclas para los clientes, o hablando sobre el poder que se encuentra en el movimiento somático conectado.

Binti cree que todo comienza y termina con el nacimiento. Cuando podemos centrar primero la curación, el amor por la humanidad y la conexión con la Fuente desde el nacimiento, ella sabe que los efectos en cadena serán inconmensurables.

A Binti le gusta leer, pintar, abrazar a su gata Nala y estar en la naturaleza. 🌳🌬️🦋✨

Doula Collective

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.
