Pictured: At Naolí Vinaver’s rebozo workshop, 50 women came together for a transformational experience to learn traditional Mexican midwifery techniques and philosophies, and form a close bond with other amazing birth workers! I admire each of them, and their wisdom and perspectives.
Naolí taught us the importance of vulnerability, transparency, and honesty in fostering a relationship with our clients that enhances their birth experience and supports our clients in a variety of physical, emotional, and spiritual ways! We practiced techniques, laughed, and cried together, and shared decades worth of sacred wisdom that made each of us a better birth practitioner. I believe the rebozo is an important, sacred, and powerful tool to facilitate physiological birth, and I am so thankful for Naolí’s enthusiastic encouragement for birth workers across the world to use this traditional tool to nurture the mothers we serve.
Let’s Talk About Birth!
Every mom, every baby, and every birth are unique! As a birth photographer, doula, and Phase 2 student midwife who is passionate about physiological birth, Establishing a foundation of comfort, trust, & vulnerability with your birth team facilitates the type of birth experience we all deserve: connected, safe, spiritual, authentic, and rooted in our intuition.
Who you invite into your birth space matters, and it’s a profound honor for me to be welcomed in! If the vibes are off, it can stall your labor, which can lead to a cascade of interventions, increasing you and your baby’s risks of complications. If I’m going to walk into your birth space and witness one of the most powerful and transformative moments of your entire life, I owe it to you to put the work in to get to know you and open my heart to you in return, so you feel safe and secure in my presence when it’s time to drift into labor land, and guide your little one through the veil.
Birth Photographer - Doula - Phase 2 Student Midwife
In 2026, I’m hoping to attend more out-of-hospital births & support more parents with affordably priced Birth and Postpartum Doula and Birth Photography packages. I may be a good fit for you and your birth space if:
⋆ You want to have your birth thoughtfully documented, so you can forever remember one of the most pivotal days of your entire life, and see yourself the way everyone else sees you: beautiful, brave, powerful, resilient, nurturing, and more capable than you ever knew
✴︎ You’re planning an unmedicated birth at a birth center or at home, attended by midwives, and are interested in rebozo, counter pressure, position changes, and continuous movement to support an empowering physiological birth
☆ You’re looking for someone who’s a great blend of the medical/scientific and crunchy/holistic woo-woo sides of things, who can give you open-minded informed advice from the midwifery model of care, and will support you when medical interventions are optimal and/or necessary
⛧ You’re looking to establish deep connections with your birth team, and need people around you who are open-hearted, spiritual, friendly, and authentic
✴︎ You want to feel free to be your genuine weird self, cuss a little (or a lot), crack jokes, or dance naked to rap music with a body covered in tattoos and scars, so you can comfortably and confidently pass the hours of early and active labor without worrying you’re making someone uncomfortable
⋆ You have trauma that may affect your birth experience, had a traumatic birth experience in the past, and/or a history of postpartum depression/anxiety with previous births, and you’re preparing to have the support you need and deserve
⋆ You’re LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, crunchy, witchy, ExMo, or otherwise march proudly to a non-conformist beat
Could I be a great fit for you?
