My story begins in the vibrant heart of LA, where fierce women shaped my world. Born to a Cuban mother, I was raised in an environment held together by my mom, aunts, my sister, my cousins, and my Yaya, my mother's mother. At Yaya's house, I watched my grandmother work magic with plants and remedies for our family, from common colds to postpartum nourishment. She whispered secrets of folk healing into our ears, teaching us that every root carries a spirit of wellness. These traditional remedies were our connection to our ancestors. This deep-rooted wisdom became my lifeline when I entered motherhood at sixteen and again in 2021. Those early lessons laid the foundation for everything I do today. Now, as a mother, doula, and herbalist, I blend that sacred folk knowledge with my B.S. in Integrative Health. I created Motherhood Bruja to center and uplift BIPOC mothers and families, ensuring no mother walks her path alone. By honoring our cultural roots and inclusive community, I am here to build our village together.
