I’m a first-generation Filipino American and an English and Tagalog speaker. I identify as queer, nonbinary, and a lesbian. I was raised in southern California, spent my 20’s in Olympia, Washington, and have been residing in Oakland since 2024. My work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves choice, access, safety, and power in their reproductive journeys. I’m especially honored to support individuals and communities whose lineages have had to fight for this freedom — whether that meant the right to give birth and raise children, or the right not to.

Who I am & what I’m about:

It is a sacred calling to support people through the transformative journeys of pregnancy, labor, postpartum, & parenting. I hold this responsibility with deep gratitude.

In my day-to-day life, I cherish intentional one-on-one connections with friends and love participating in group gatherings rooted in care — for the land and for one another. You’ll find me at community-centered events where skills, stories, and creativity are generously shared. My world also revolves around  adventuring with my dog, spending quality time with my lovely partner, quiet moments with the local flora and fauna, reading, making art when I can, and taking soul-nourishing trips to magical landscapes. These everyday joys are part of what keep me grounded — and they deeply inform the way I show up in my work: present, curious, and in service to connection.

My education and training center the teachings of Black & Indigenous women and elders, as well as queer and trans people of color and our legacies.
