...and as someone who is trans, queer, and predominately bed- and housebound - I will be serving those who are especially like myself and don’t have access to care and support.

As a full-spectrum birth, death, & crip doula who is a severely & multiply disabled, chronically ill, mad, neurodivergent, crip Malayali...

I’m committed to becoming an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), a somatic educator and practitioner, a midwife’s assistant, and more.

For example, my family and I are in need of ongoing community care and support in order to remain housed, repair our only vehicle that has not been drivable for several months, and to pay for my ongoing learning and education.

They must be able to offer care and support to all people, including - Black, Indigenous, brown, trans, queer, lesbian, gay, disabled, mad, neurodivergent, crips.

In general, there must be more birthworkers, midwives, and IBCLCs with intersectional identities in order to prioritize and ensure the well-being of people who conceive; continue or terminate pregnancy; experience birth, labor, and/or loss; and who want to chest/breastfeed.

As a queer, trans, racialized, mad, neurodivergent, crip birthworker, I very much am aware that if I have the privilege of conceiving and continuing a pregnancy, I am not likely to receive care and support that I deserve to have access to.
November 21, 2025 at 2:21 AM
To supplement my birthwork, I'm also studying herbalism, somatics, and to be an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant and midwife assistant.
November 21, 2025 at 2:21 AM
As a birthworker myself, I am presently learning, completing, or have completed - fertility support [to conceive or prevent pregnancy]; abortion care and support; labor, birth, and postpartum support; childbirth education; and EOL, death, and grief care, support, and education when navigating loss.

Birthwork is carework that encompasses a spectrum of skills, support, and care that is offered with compassion and kindness.
November 21, 2025 at 2:21 AM
The care and support that is offered must center, witness, and honor the different experiences and identities of this person. This includes, but is not limited to, having more racialized, trans, queer, mad, neurodivergent, crip birthworkers.
November 21, 2025 at 2:21 AM
Despite polycrisises, people from different communities and with different identities continue to conceive and will either continue, terminate, or lose the pregnancy.

There's so much I want to do but my bodymind's limitations are indeed limiting me and it feels incredibly awful.

I want solutions instead of having to 'ride them out' because these symptoms are messing with my capacities and capabilities to exist, to just be, to co-exist and be in relationship with my beloveds and communities, to complete tasks, and to work on my goals.
