About me

My name is Venus and I am a trauma-informed, holistic birth & postpartum doula trained by Uncovering Birth and currently completing my childbirth educator certification. I am based in Miami, FL and am a fierce advocate for body sovereignty, informed consent, and natural birth . I am new to birthwork, but I have studied the intricacies of birth and women's health for a long time. I felt called to birth keeping to be a pillar of support for others, to protect the birth space through advocacy and non-judgmental containment, 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. I am the proud mother of a wonderful toddler, and a practicing Caribbean herbalist who is currently studying botanical medicine for women's health. I love making beeswax candles, and am a proud graduate from Florida International University (background in Psychology & Anthropology). I am also very dedicated in independently studying women's health, fertility awareness, and holistic nutrition.

Service introduction

I provide a holistic and 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, pain management, breathwork, and holistic preparation for the postpartum stage. I also offer virtual doula support and lactation support during postpartum! Wellness guidance is a core part of my support package. I believe prioritizing wellness as much as we can, even in the simplest ways, can make a huge impact on our long-term health. This 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 integrating cultural and whole food nutrition tailored to your needs. I also have an extensive community resource list to share! Separately, I also sell seasonal and organic herbal offerings, such as herbal yoni steam blends, gentle and nutritive herbal teas, elixirs, and botanical balms and oils for both mama and baby skin.
