Welcome ! The name  Mothering Joy was born as reminder to return home, to our first home, our bodies, our spirit. A forever evolving space to feel, express and receive community resources and support through the healing arts  . 

 

Mothering Joy, a play on words to Mother Our Joy in our lives. My middle name is Joy. The name Joy is a namesake connected to my maternal line, another reminder I'm breaking generational patterns and traumas by showing up for myself and continuously mothering my womb.​

 

Through the birth of my daughter and essentially through rebirthing myself, ignited a fire within my spirit to dive into birth work. I approach birth in the lens it's a natural physiological sacred process happening in our bodies. A portal and initiation to connect to the depths of you. I support all ways of birthing and birthing places. Understanding the real history in the USA around maternal health, is essential to know how to move forward. I believe it's extremely important to support individuals and grass root organizations fighting to end the crisis on maternal health, in this city and country. Please take a moment to visit the resource page to find more information and ways to support, take action and donate. 

​

Birth, death and all the moments in between are ceremonies, and my path has led me to hold space for all life's transitions. I believe in inclusivity for all people regardless of your gender, ethnicity, religion or social/economic status. My intention and hope is to help create an "opening" to access all the knowledge, creativity and strengthen that's already deep inside of you!  I currently reside in Bronx, NY with my family. I work as a full spectrum birth worker, reiki practitioner, multi-disciplinary artist, lactation consultant, birth art mentor and kundalini yoga instructor in all surrounding boroughs, parts of NJ and CT.
