About Venus
I am a Birth and Postpartum Doula trained by Uncovering Birth, a trauma-informed Childbirth Educator certified by Rooted Birth, an herbalist, and a beeswax candle maker. I am bilingual (English & Spanish), a proud graduate from Florida International University, and independently study a wide range of subjects that have helped me keep a curious and open mind, which include: women's health & fertility awareness, herbalism, ancestral nutrition, cultural anthropology, ethnobotany, psychology, alternative medicine, and of course - the mysterious and divine world of birth.♡
​
More than anything, I'm proud to be the mother of the sweetest boy - the light of my life is my son! Motherhood inspired me to become a birthworker; it became clear to me that one day I wanted to hold space to support women throughout their own metamorphosis. I also experienced challenges and disappointments throughout my pregnancy and birth that showed me how flawed the systems of maternal care, from a personal and systemic level, can be. I felt called to birth keeping to be a pillar of support for others, to protect the birth space through advocacy, to raise awareness on how to achieve better birthing outcomes, and to help guide women on how to recognize their body's intelligent and cyclical design, nourish themselves, and trust their instincts.
Offerings
Comprehensive Doula Support & Childbirth Education
I provide a holistic, comprehensive support package that targets your emotional, physical, and educational needs. Together, we will craft your birth intentions and focus on whole body nourishment through food and herbs, emotional and physical preparation for birth, mindfulness techniques, breathwork, and holistic preparation for the postpartum stage. I also offer virtual doula support if you are looking for guidance and education, but not someone to attend the actual birth with you! As someone who is passionate about breastfeeding, lactation support is also included in my service. Stay tuned for upcoming events! Inquire below for any requests; I offer a free 30 min consultation!
Wellness Guidance & Community Resources
I believe prioritizing wellness as much as we can, even in the simplest ways, can make a huge impact on our long-term health. My wellness support includes guidance on how to adopt a low to non-toxic and sustainable lifestyle for you and your family, how to manage stress through somatic practices, and how to integrate cultural and whole food nutrition tailored to your needs. I also have a list of many community resources available to share and a blog that I will be updating soon!
Organic Herbal Remedies & Beeswax Candles
Creating herbal medicines to share with my community is a passion of mine. My creations are rooted in my own pursuit of seeking health & wellbeing, and with the applied knowledge of various modalities, namely bioregional herbalism and Caribbean folk herbalism. I love making elderberry elixirs, tropical fire ciders, herbal yoni steam blends for women, herbal tea blends, tinctures, and infused botanical salves and oils for skin. I also sell beeswax candles - my absolute favorite way to use candles! Sustainable, clean, and hypoallergenic. Historically, bees and their gifts of honey and beeswax have been revered for thousands of years across the globe; without bees, there'd be no life. Beeswax has multiple applications, from woodworking to candle making, and it is the most sustainable and natural wax one can use. I support local Florida beekeepers that use ethical and sustainable beekeeping practices. No bees were harmed in the making of my candles! Nothing quite like the warm glow and the soft honey scent that emits from these lovely candles. Listings will be added soon on this website and on Etsy.
