When we can center a love for humanity and a connection to Source within birth first,the ripple effects will be immeasurable.

About Me

I believe everything begins and ends with birth. When we can center a love for humanity and a connection to Source within birth first, we create spaces of generational healing. It is my highest hope that all clients who work with me are able to meet themselves, their loved ones, and the world around them more fully and deeply.

In addition to my birth and postpartum doula practice, I am a traditional bodyworker, home herbalist, and placenta medicine specialist. My bodywork sessions are available to all — including women and nonbinary people at all stages of life, men, and children. I am also a student of partería en la tradición — learning the art of traditional midwifery in Oaxaca, México.

I’m a slow-moving human and textbook Pisces who likes to read, dance, spend time in nature, watercolor paint, and cuddle my cat, Nala.

About La Rahm Sagrada

Rahm means “womb” in Arabic.  In Islam, one of the 99 names for God is Ar-Rahman, which means “The Most Merciful”. This is the only name of God that carries an inherent connection to a human body part, the uterus. I believe that the womb is God’s counterpart, and that we each mirror the wombs in which we come from.

Sagrada means “sacred” in Spanish. The womb functions as a second heart for the woman. It is a sacred container for intuition, memories, traumas, and ancestral wisdom. Just like Mother Earth, the womb creates, protects life, and transmutes energy. It is our first home. When we honor the womb, we honor the Divine and we honor humanity.

  • Binti’s respect for the birth process is inspiring. She has a reverence for the process that assured me that I was in caring and knowledgeable hands.

    Allison & Justin

  • "Binti exceeded our expectations as a doula for our first pregnancy! She’s knowledgeable, comforting, nurturing and has such a welcoming spirit!"

    Morgan & Morris

  • "Having Binti at our side was a blessing; she helped us feel empowered and in control. She helped us create a “birth plan on a page” to succinctly communicate our preferences for a hospital birth. With her experience, the plan was easily communicated and understood by the medical team."

    Mónica & Danny

  • "I struggled with pelvic pain for many years and after one sobada session with Binti, the pain was 95% improved. Binti is very knowledgeable and she brings a warm and grounded energy to her work, which made me feel safe and relaxed throughout."

Knowledge Base

I give thanks to the maestras, elders, and wisdom-keepers who are largely influential in my practice and the offerings I am able to bring to my community. I would not be able to do this work without their direction and guidance.
