Hi, I'm V and I'm so happy you're here

As an Afro-Latina, I’m deeply passionate about supporting Black and Brown birthing people. My maternal birthing lineage is multifaceted— my grandmother gave birth to my mom at her home in Puerto Rico, trusting deeply in her body’s wisdom. My mother on the other hand, trusted in the New York City hospital system, while also feeling intimidated and undermined while delivering me. I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported—especially during one of the most transformative moments of their lives. I also believe in the birth you want, whether it be in the comfort of your own home, or the security of a hospital.

 

I also believe in the power of reiki, divine energy we all have access to. Through touch, stretch therapy, or hovering my hands over the body, I’ve been trained to clear energetic blockages (like the handy sink snake you use when there’s too much hair in the drain). The discomforts of pregnancy are real, so how do we create a safe container for your body to heal itself? My answer is reiki.

 

When I’m not guiding folks through these powerful experiences, you’ll likely find me nerding out over women’s health. Seriously, how cool is the uterus? I can talk about hormones and the human body for longer than a Christopher Nolan film (no shade on Nolan, Oppenheimer is a triumph). I’m obsessed with learning about how our bodies work and, of course, how to support them in the best way possible.

 

Now, when I’m off the clock, you’ll probably find me in one of two places: in the gym doing CrossFit (just out here trying to lift my bodyweight in barbell plates!), or binge-watching reality TV with my chihuahua-pug Butter. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good semi-scripted dumpster fire with your fur baby?

 

If I’m not working up a sweat or catching up on the latest season of Below Deck, I’m probably reading something (where my fantasy fans at?) or playing around with my wardrobe—I’m a sucker for styling, fashion, and finding new ways to express myself through what I wear. Tan France is my spirit animal.

 

Above all, I’m just a real person who’s here to help others feel grounded, supported, and truly cared for. Whether you’re in need of a doula or just looking for some advice, I’m always here to listen, share a laugh, and get you exactly where you need to be. Let's walk this journey together—maybe in Birkenstocks over Manolo Blahnik’s but hey, your birth your way, chica.
