My name is Maria Teresa. I am first generation Angelino. My family migrated from Cuscatlán also known as El Salvador. My Nahuatl Pipil and Mayan ancestral roots inspire me to combine indigenous and evidence based healing practices.
I began my journey as a birth worker in 2010 when I joined an Indigenous Birth worker Collective in Los Angeles. ‘Ticicalli Yahualli’ or ‘the home of the healer/midwife’ is in the Nahuatl language of Mesoamerican indigenous communities the Nahua.
As a Full Spectrum Doula and Traditional Birth Assistant, I provide culturally relevant birth and postpartum support, Placenta Encapsulation as well as Breastfeeding education and counseling. As a dancer and Reiki practitioner I enjoy helping you to connect to your body and breath.
I am passionate about teaching Self-Care Practices, Childbirth Education, Breastfeeding and Non-violent communication & Parenting. In 2014, I began my Midwifery Program with the National College of Midwifery. I feel honored to join midwives that are helping to eliminate racial and health disparities in under-served communities.
In my spare time you will find me in ceremony, studying at a local coffee shop, dancing, and spending time with my family.
