Who We Are
Your community birthworkers
We have joined our hearts, wombs, and hands to provide all families who want an alternative way of care for their reproductive health a space to be in community.
We hold space for you and your family, so we all can honor our ancestral traditions by sharing paths of reconnection with the body, with family knowledge, and ancestral wisdom.

I'm Iveth Balanta (She/Her/They)
I'm Iveth Balanta (She/Her/They), an immigrant partera from Abya Yala (Colombia). I come from the Valley of the Cauca River, my people are Quillancinga, Inga, Timaná, Balanta & Settler Spaniards. I've learned the art or birthkeeping from my abuelas, tías, and mamas parteras. I am a mom, partner, friend, and daughter, and I tend to my garden of relatives, my kitchen, and my altar with love everyday. I love the land and its creatures, dancing, poetry, the dreams and stories of my grandparents who keep me company in this magical Mojave Desert, ancestral land of the Nuwuvi people.
I've chosen this path of remembrance and healing to honor my women and all my sisters from other mothers, our families, and the sacredness of our rites of life.
