Hi! I’m Brianna.
she/her
I am a Boricua yoga teacher, movement artist, experienced program manager, educator, herbalist, poet and birthworker currently rooted on native Lenapehoking lands, also known as NYC. I offer reproductive justice focused, holistic abortion, birth and postpartum support throughout the area.
As a Doula, I am blessed with the opportunity to combine my love and respect of the human body with my mission to provide support to all on a sliding scale basis. I came to this work after spending many hours sitting in meditation, ceremony and calling in clarity around my life’s purpose. I was traveling abroad, working three jobs, teaching Yoga and freelance contemporary dancing in San Francisco when I hit an emotional roadblock. Simply put, I was burnt out.
While working as a professional dancer, my appreciation of the human body and its innate power was deeply affirmed. During this same time, I was inspired by a friend’s process of becoming a Doula and realized how a birth companion witnesses a full spectrum of the human experience. I began to trust that I too could offer my knowledge of Reiki, Yoga, movement and Herbalism to all birthing people, as they journey into parenthood. This led to the creation of Birthroot. Birthroot is a Doula company that is honored to work with all birthing people but focuses on working with BIPOC, LGBTQ and folks that are disabled under a reproductive justice framework.
As a Latina, I have always worked on calling in wisdom from those that came before me. While sitting with grandmother medicine, I heard my ancestors' voices clearly communicating that I needed to pursue birthwork. I have never felt more at home within a career than as a Cornerstone Birth and certified Postpartum Doula. I offer holistic support that is grounding, affirming and nurturing. I believe that all birthing people are warriors and should be treated as such.
Whether I am working with you prior to, during, or after birth, my goal is to guide you through a transformational experience as a mirror of your own innate strength and grace. In honor of what is best for you and your family, I offer informational, emotional, physical and advocacy support. I am in awe of my journey and am humbled to work beside you as you bring life into this world!
