My story
My journey into birthwork began long before I called myself a doula.
It began with my own births — two unmedicated, out-of-hospital experiences that forever changed the way I understood power, surrender, and what it means to trust the body’s wisdom.
Those births weren’t just the arrival of my children — they were my own rebirths. In those liminal hours, between worlds and within myself, I came face to face with what it means to be held, to be seen, and to be completely sovereign in my body. That experience didn’t just awaken me as a mother — it called me back to the deeper work of liberation.
Before birthwork, I spent over a decade in community organizing and social work, fighting for immigrant rights, criminal justice reform, education equity, and women’s empowerment. That work shaped my understanding of power, access, and voice — and it taught me that true justice must begin in the body. The same systems that silence marginalized communities often silence women and birthing people in labor rooms. I see my doula practice as an extension of that same calling: helping others reclaim agency, dignity, and belonging — starting with the most sacred threshold of all, birth.
Through Liminal Light, I integrate my background in mental health, coaching, and somatic healing to support the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. I help parents prepare not only for birth but for the transformation that follows: postpartum, parenting, and the deep inner work of becoming.
This work is personal to me. As a queer woman, a mother, and a lifelong advocate, I know that safe, inclusive care is revolutionary care. Every birthing person deserves to feel seen, respected, and free to bring life into the world on their own terms.
Birth taught me that when we heal our relationship with our bodies, we begin to heal our relationship with power itself.
That is the heartbeat of my work — helping others remember what their bodies already know:
You are sacred.
You are capable.
You are home.
