Understanding our embodied histories can help us find compassion for some of our current struggles. If you struggle with breastfeeding, its not your fault. Please don’t struggle in isolation💗!

Every female fetus, including your mom, developed all the eggs she will ever have while still a fetus inside of her own mom. I remember sitting in one of my graduate courses in my Herbal Medicine program at MUIH and being floored! It literally gave new meaning to what it means to be healthy and how....

I am commited to making birth work more inclusive for workers and birthing people.

Many doulas and care providers will claim that they are inclusive because they feel welcoming, inclusion is more than just "pronouns".

Hello Facebook Community, i could truly use your help and support!

As some of you may have seen, i started a new journey to become a certified doula/perinatal health worker, (birth & pregnancy coach).

Since finishing my doula training I have supported one birth virtually, and just attended my first hospital birth. This journey is super rewarding but also a financially challenging transition.

As some of you may know but also might forget, i have some disabilities including low-vision, chronic pain, and neurogdivergence. The pandemic made me realize that given my disabilities, I couldnt healthfully go back to a traditional 9-5 because my body physically wouldnt let me. Anyone who really knows me, knows i try my hardest to give to others and create community. And im still trying my hardest to do that without compromising my body and mental health.

DC has some of the worst health outcomes for Black maternal/perinatal and infant mortality rates. For this reason I will be volunteering a portion of my doula services to support black birthing people and women at no cost to them. As i work on my certification, I have not charged for any of my services since October 2020, But i still have to pay my own rent, and buy food etc so I’m asking for your help! I will be launching my go fund me this week and i would love for you to share my journey with others and support my work. Also please follow my journey on ig and tiktok and my page Fractal Birth.

I will be advocating through my work to spread and share basic birth education as education for everyone like cpr training or any other public safety training because any of us could be in a situation where someone in the public goes into labor.

Below are some pics of the new babes ive welcomed into the world!!
