Herbal wisdom for humans who birth & the birthworkers that support them
Hi! I’m Jen. Welcome to my space where herbalism meets birthwork. As a Queer, Latinx full-spectrum doula and spiritual herbalist based in New York City, I am passionate about helping other doulas and birthworkers grow, thrive, and care for themselves with the healing power of plants. Whether you are a birth doula, postpartum doula, midwife, nurse, OBGYN, IBCLC, lactation professional, prenatal yoga teacher etc. my focus is on providing herbal support that nurtures you, enhances your practice, and helps you so you may better support your clients. Herbalism has been soul changing for me and now I am excited to share it with you. If you are seeking personalized herbal consultations, professional education, or a sense of community, I’m here to guide you on a journey of self-care and well-being.

Herbal Consultations
One on One Support: Nourish Yourself and Your Practice
As a doula or other birthworker, you dedicate so much of your energy to supporting others—but it’s just as important to take care of yourself too. Herbal medicine offers a gentle, sustainable way to nurture your mind, body, and spirit, especially in the demanding work of being there for others. I offer personalized herbal consultations designed specifically for doulas and other birthworkers, focusing on:
Self-Care and Resilience: Being a doula and birthworker can be emotionally and physically taxing. I provide herbal remedies that help with stress management, boost energy, improve focus, and support emotional well-being. When you nourish yourself with the right herbs, you’ll feel more grounded and present for your clients.
Herbal Solutions for Common Challenges: Whether you're experiencing fatigue, trouble sleeping, anxiety, or burnout, I’m here to help you find natural, plant-based remedies to restore balance and promote your overall well-being.
Herbal Remedies for Specific Needs: From immune-boosting herbs to remedies that help you stay grounded and calm during intense moments (i.e a long, 72hr birth), I offer personalized solutions for the unique challenges we doulas and birthworkers face.
workshops and learning opportunities
Group Support: Expand Your Herbal Knowledge
I believe that every doula and birthworker should have the tools to offer herbal support, not only to themselves, but also to their clients. That’s why throughout the year I offer nurturing workshops and immersions that’ll help deepen your understanding of herbs, their uses, and how they can enhance your practice. Here’s what you can expect:
Intro to Herbal Support for Doulas: In these workshops, you’ll learn about the best herbs for pregnancy, labor, postpartum care, and beyond. I’ll focus on a couple plants and give you the basic knowledge you need to incorporate herbal remedies into your doula work.
Creating Herbal Remedies for Your Clients: You’ll also have the chance to get hands-on and learn how to make teas, tinctures, and other herbal preparations that you can offer your clients. This practical knowledge will help you support your clients with pregnancy, labor, and postpartum care in a deeper, more holistic way.
Herbal Gatherings: Connect with Plants and Community
Alongside my workshops, I also host gatherings where doulas and plant enthusiasts can connect more deeply to herbalism and each other. Examples of these gatherings include:
30 Day Plant Immersions: These immersions help you connect deeply with a single plant by incorporating it into your daily routine for 30 days. Through this hands-on experience, you’ll explore the plant’s healing properties, learn how to use it in different forms, and develop a personal relationship with its energy. This immersive journey will enhance your herbal knowledge and offer a unique way to incorporate plant medicine into your life. Perfect for beginners and seasoned herbalists alike, this plant walk will deepen your understanding of the natural world.
Local Plant Walks: I’ll teach you about a few native herbs, how to identify them, and how they can be used in your doula practice. These gatherings are focused on hands-on learning and building a deeper connection to the plants around us.
