ABOUT ME

I am an Afro-Indigenous Caribbean mother of three young Black children, living, loving, and growing on the beautiful shared, unceded, ancestral territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

Like many parents of colour, I experienced mistreatment within the medical system during all three of my pregnancies. Those experiences, moments that should have been held with care ,shaped my purpose.

I do this work to ensure birthing people of colour are safe, heard, and respected.
That our babies are safe, heard, and respected.

I believe deeply in the birthing person’s wisdom and right to lead their own journey. My role is to provide knowledge, advocacy, and steady presence, so you can make informed choices that honour your body, your culture, and your family.

MY APPROACH

• Trauma-informed and culturally safe care

• Informed consent and medical advocacy

• Holistic, client-led support

• Anti-oppressive and harm-reduction grounded

• Respect for cultural practices and ceremonies
