This photo isn’t just a headshot. It’s a snapshot of a woman who rose from loss, who returned to her roots, who chose to answer her calling despite every barrier.

It’s a reminder that I’m exactly where I’m meant to be standing in my power, guided by my ancestors, and preparing to serve the next generation with everything I have.

I honor the journey that brought me here, and I honor the responsibility I carry forward.

This is not a call out — this is a call in.
To all the “community midwives”: please remember to pour into the existing and up-and-coming midwives right here beside you. Pour into the student midwives who are fighting every day to finish school so we can stand in service to our community.

We’re here. We’re showing up. We’re pushing to cross that finish line but we can’t do it alone.

Reach out to us. Support us. Build with us.
Our community becomes stronger when we lift each other.

Today I was deeply honored to be nominated and awarded at the 2025 Women’s Leadership and Policy Summit. 🌿

As a birthworker, so much of what I do happens quietly behind the scenes, in sacred spaces, and in moments that often go unseen. This work can be challenging, emotionally and spiritually, but it’s also deeply meaningful. To be recognized by my community as a woman leading change is something I hold close to my heart.

I’m humbled and grateful for this acknowledgment, and for every family and community member who continues to believe in the power of this work. ✨

I’m especially thankful for my mom my biggest supporter, my constant strength, and my number one fan.

This week, I honor the countless Native and Indigenous Midwives who have carried the sacred knowledge of birth since time immemorial. Even when our practices were silenced, criminalized, or erased, our grandmothers continued to bring life into this world with their hands, prayers, songs, and medicines.

We are still here vibrant, alive, and reclaiming birth as ceremony.
We are protecting culture, preserving language, and bringing our babies earthside in ways that honor our ancestors.

Midwifery is not just a profession it is a calling, a responsibility, and an act of resistance against systems that have long tried to define, limit, or erase us.

I stand in gratitude for the midwives before me, those walking beside me, and the next generation who will continue this sacred work. May we always remember that birth is ours it always has been and always will be.

✨ For our grandmothers, our daughters, and the future. ✨

If you’ve been thinking about booking, now is the time to claim your spot . Send me a message to reserve your spot. Please one DM only

October has a bit more availability but same process .

Not allowing undocumented individuals to register as Medi-Cal providers is an outright injustice. The Medi-Cal provider system requires a Social Security Number, which means undocumented doulas are automatically shut out. This policy is not neutral it is a direct attack on brown people. It is an attack on a brown person providing services for another brown person. It is an attack on the right to speak our own languages and dialects in spaces where our birthing relatives deserve to feel safe and understood. Once again, the system is choosing who gets to support brown people and how they are supported and who gets erased.

While there are many trainings for undocumented individuals to become doulas, the truth is hard: unless they choose to run a private doula practice, they will never be able to receive reimbursement through Medi-Cal. At least not currently. Becoming a Medi-Cal provider is off-limits to them, no matter how much experience, cultural knowledge, or community trust they hold. That means the only “option” for our Mexican , Guatemalteco , Mixteco relatives, farmworkers, campesinas, and undocumented sisters who are doing this sacred work or working towards doing this doula work is to continue laboring for free if they want to support families inside the hospital system.

Meanwhile, these same individuals are forced to pay taxes with an ITIN , accepted by the government when it comes to taking money, but rejected when it comes to being compensated for their contributions. This is more than hypocrisy , it is systemic exclusion. It is institutional racism. It is economic injustice.

And even for those who can register, the Medi-Cal reimbursement rates are already a disgrace a clear statement of what the system thinks our work is worth. Pair that with the exclusion of undocumented doulas, and what you have is not equity, not inclusion, not justice but another form of state sanctioned exploitation.

I have some amazing Spanish speaking only Mentees doing amazing work in their community and now at a stand still with helping them navigate this system that once again is pushing us out
