meet willow

Hi, I’m willow — a queer, full spectrum doula offering holistic, affirming support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

My path to birthwork has been shaped by reverence: for the body, for the earth, and for the transformational power of the womb. I’ve spent the last five years as a land steward and community herbalist, growing and distributing food through mutual aid networks grounded in care, reciprocity, and liberation. This work attuned me more deeply to the cycles of the land — and to the rhythms of my own body — planting the seeds of my birthwork practice.

I began my doula training in April 2025 at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley and have since supported dozens of families, through a dynamic range of experiences. My approach centers what I call radical accompaniment: offering grounded, intuitive presence while inviting families and care teams into deeper trust, emotional attunement, and connection. I integrate holistic prenatal and perinatal care, including support with nutrition, womb health, pelvic floor strength, and emotional resilience.

I believe birth is not just a medical event — it’s a sacred threshold. I draw inspiration from the stories my mother told of her unmedicated home births, and from the vision of reclaiming birth as a space of dignity, intimacy, and personal power. I’m committed to trauma-informed, gender-expansive care that honors all bodies, all identities, and all families.

Rooted in movements for birth justice and collective liberation, my work aims to contribute to a culture of care—one where birth is respected, relational, and sovereign.
