Teachings and Acknowlegements

I am beyond blessed to have had to opportunities to train with Center for Indigenous Midwifery and The Indigenous Birth Network. These teachings have allowed me to provide these services to the Native Communities around me and reclaim what it is to be a birth-keeper. I have gained so much more than certificates within these trainings. I have gained purpose, livelihood, community and the drive to be the change I wish to see in this world. As a bodyworker, healer, matriarch and birth keeper I intend to spread these teaching to all those in need.

I’d like to Thank, Rhonda Grantham, Raeanne Madison, Marissa Balonas, Lakota Scott of Center of Indigenous Midwifery for Doula and Childbirth Educator teachings.

Glenda Abbott, Faith Tonasket, Moh David, Symetria Gongyin and Penny Spencer of The Indigenous Birth Justice Network as well as The Spokane Tribal Network for Birth Keeper Teachings and compensations for trainings and mentorship.

Hazel Green, Isabell and MaryJane Ides, MichaeLynn Tulensa Kanichy and all the members of hi•dubał baʔas for bringing trainings and more birthworkers to the Olympic Peninsula

Laryn Bell and Diamond Sudds of Hilltop Urban Gardens and Black Birthworkers Initiative for placental and herbal teachings.

Roselle Wahulice (Fryberg) for the use of her art.

Jenni Benedict for Mentorship in Body and Birthwork.

Cyndi Hedel of Cyndislight and Naj (Nephyr) of The Naga Center for Prenatal and Postpartum Bodywork Teachings.

As well as all of my other teachers, my parents, partners, tribes, community, family and existing and previous clientele. I could not do what I do without you all.

I currently reside on the ancestral lands of the Port Gamble S’Klallam and Suquamish People. I serve the ancestral lands of the Makah, Quileute, Hoh, Quinault, Jamestown S’Klallam, Port Gamble S’Klallam, Lower Elwha Klallam and Suquamish tribes.

I am happy to extend my services to Indigenous families within 3 hours of Poulsbo WA as my schedule permits.
