Meet Whitney
I walk in deep reverence for the sacred path of birth.
I offer support to those who wish to journey through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with spirit, agency, and care rooted in relationship. I trust birth. I trust our bodies. I trust the wisdom that arises in labor, in loss, in becoming.
As a queer birthworker, I hold space for all the ways family, identity, and embodiment can look and feel. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and deeply relational—rooted in the belief that sacred care must also be liberatory care.
My offerings include, one-on-one doula support, placenta encapsulation, healing postpartum meals, & herbal nourishment.
This practice is my devotion—to my ancestors, to future generations, and to the communities I serve. It is a weaving of plant medicine, embodied care, and spiritual connection. It is also a political act: a reclaiming of birth as powerful, communal, and sacred.

🌕 My Approach
I believe birth is not a service to be delivered—it is a threshold to be witnessed, tended, and honored.
My work is relationship-centered and trauma-informed. I don’t simply arrive for the moment of birth; I offer grounded support through preparation, labor, and postpartum integration. With a Master of Social Work and a foundation in ancestral traditions, I bring both clinical understanding and intuitive care to this work.
My care is guided by:
🌀 Relational presence—built on deep listening, story, and shared ritual
🌿 Community-rooted knowledge—through plant medicine, nourishment, and embodied care
🤲 Companionship and advocacy—centering your agency and truth
📚 Education and access—because informed care is liberating care
This is not transactional work. It’s sacred work.
