If you are seeking support during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, I trust that the creator has guided you to this space. Here, you can learn more about my services and the certifications that support my work.

 

Being a guardian of life is a path of continuous learning. Although I hold certifications, I recognize that true wisdom will come with experience and the passing of years as I grow into my role as a future midwife. At this moment, the light guiding my journey, and allowing me to embrace this calling to support life, is the connection to my roots and the ancestral memory that ties me to my lineage, especially to my beloved great grandmother Aleja, Alejandra Molina, who would dance to the waters and prayed to Yemaya.

 

Accompanying you in this rite of passage is not only born from my deep curiosity about birth and death, but also from a desire to honor the waters that nourish us and give us life, to honor women, and to safeguard life as my foremothers did. Supporting you through this process is, for me, an act of love and reverence. Ashé!
