Rooted in a decade of herbal and birthwork practice — deepened by the sacred passage of my own motherhood — I walk beside parents from the first breath of pregnancy through the threshold of new life.
Each offering is designed to nurture, nourish, and honor the journey of motherhood — from the first kicks to the slow quiet of the fourth trimester.

Custom · From $100My work weaves together trimester-specific childbirth education, herbal preparation, birth advocacy, and the slow, sacred rituals that have honored the postpartum body for as long as there have been mothers. I am well versed in advocating within the hospital system, and equally at home at home births.
The goal of this work isn't to lead. It's to walk alongside you as you cross the threshold into parenthood, and to make sure your voice — your knowing, your desires, your truth — stays at the center of your own story.
Birth opens a woman in ways that go beyond the physical. It cracks her open — body, heart, and spirit — and asks her to pour everything she has into bringing new life earthside. The Closing of the Bones ceremony honors that offering.
It is an ancient, indigenous practice rooted in the wisdom of traditional midwives across Mexico and Latin America — a ritual of sealing, closing, and deep acknowledgment that says: you did something profound, and your body deserves to be held.
A 4-hour ceremony held in your home or at my home and medicine garden.
