Birth Support
The birth room is a sacred space that should be assisted on your and your baby’s terms. It's also an equally mental and emotional experience, as it is physical. VIDA on your birth team means you'll be encouraged to find your most centered self throughout pregnancy + labor with unwavering support and advocacy. Whether that's being embraced in your loved ones' arms or not touched at all, holding crystals for intentional energy, bumping to reggaeton or listening to peaceful waterfalls, and anything else on the spectrum of rooting into yourself to find your inner power. I meet you where you're at on your journey, and aim to be a grounding voice/hand to keep returning to your center and help maintain a coping mindset throughout labor and all its uncertanties.
I focus on guiding the individual's self mastery and combining it with my expertise in progressing labor for a physiologic birth. Balancing my intuition, with learned wisdom in modalities such as body balancing (Spinning Babies®), rebozo work, herbology, meditation + visualization amongst others to compliment your natural strength and assist any expecting partners to fulfill the primary support role.
Partnering with VIDA on your birth journey means support throughout all variations of your ideal, and ultimately real birth. Lead with courage and confidence to stay empowered and safe in any setting, where all bodies birth.
