Motivating Force
First and foremost, this work is sacred and must always be honored as such. We thank the ancestors, abuelitas y abuelitos who have maintained these traditions despite hundreds of years of colonization.
It is in their steps that we follow.
Sol y Luna Birth Work provides physical, mental and emotional support to people in in their birthing & postpartum journey. This includes full term birth, miscarriage and stillbirth. You all have the right to heal.
You have the right to choose whether or not you are ready to conceive. Sol y Luna can provide you with necessary information to make these decisions, without bias and without judgement.
I do this work because I believe empowerment of birthing people is foundational for the empowerment of the next generation. When our babies are born into an environment filled with love, that is the first emotion they feel upon arrival earth side. I do not doubt then that it is love that they carry deep within their spirit for the rest of their waking lives.
