I am a queer, Filipino American full-spectrum doula and artist based in Brooklyn. As a descendent of a lineage of birthworkers in the Philippines, I hold deep gratitude for the family and ancestors that have called me into this work. Being a full-spectrum doula means that I support the full range of reproductive experiences — from family planning, to birth, to your first weeks as a parent.
I offer holistic, gentle care that is informed by diverse research, and a non-judgemental perspective that honors your intuition. No matter where you are in your journey, it is my goal that you feel respected, nourished, and supported through this sacred transition.
I am a member of the NYC Doula Collective and received my training from Ancient Song Doula Services, a Black-run reproductive justice organization in Bed-Stuy. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a public health researcher at NYC’s Department of Health and Columbia University advocating for health equity among communities of color. I have always been passionate about unraveling the layered, intersecting systems of oppression in which we exist — I see birthwork as a continuation of this commitment. Your experiences are valid, and I am here to listen.
As a sound artist and dancer, I believe in the power of breath, movement, sound, and massage in managing the waves of your journey. I hope to help you feel connected to your body through the changing seasons.
In my free time, you’ll find me hanging out my partner & cat in our home in Bed-Stuy! If my practice feels aligned with your journey, feel free to book a time to chat here.
A final note ~Equity is important to me. If finances are a barrier for you to access my doula support, please don't hesitate to reach out. Low-cost payment plans and alternative service exchanges are available. I’m happy to talk through all possibilities with you!
