Hi, my name is Crystal and I support women.

​

I share my journey here to create a safe space for all women to share their stories, speak their truths, and embrace their wholeness.

​

The first awakening to my womanhood arose from a dark and life- changing abortion that I had 6 years ago. That pregnancy and termination was an intense initiation into the rest of my life. For two years, I did not speak about my abortion, I felt frozen in a place of silence, secrecy, and self - judgement around the memory.

​

Without the full awareness of what was guiding me, I decided to attend a Birth Doula training 2 years after my abortion.

​

My thinking mind told me that I was becoming a Doula because of my nurturing nature and intrigue about birth. What I did not know at the time, was that I was being guided to heal my heart, connect deeply to my feminine body, and bring warmth to that fearful, frozen part of myself that was left behind. Through a series of several Doula trainings (plus a Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training and sitting in many Women’s Circles), I peeled away layers of shame, guilt, and trauma through gently confronting my abortion experience. It took time, but I shared my story and felt seen, held, and understood through sisterhood. Becoming a Doula paved the way to step into the intimate and powerful mysteries of my own womb, to find compassion for myself through my reproductive traumas, and to step into a more vulnerable, raw, and authentic way of being.

​

I am so grateful for the calling of my soul to do this work with women, it is what I have needed in order to come home to myself.

​

My healing is your healing & your healing is my healing.

​

Women need to share their stories, our stories are medicine.

​

Years have passed and I have traveled down deeper and deeper into the light and darkness of my womanhood. As I continue to heal myself, I want nothing more than to share what I have learned with other women, to be an advocate, and to remind us all that we are never alone and we are always whole.

​

The reproductive choices and occurrences of all women need to be held with reverence and respect. I aim to offer sisterhood and education to women through the full spectrum of womanly experiences : monthly cycles, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, abortion, and miscarriage (I have been through miscarriage as well).

​

All parts of you and your story are precious and sacred. I am here, as a sister, for you. I have the knowledge of Yoga, Ayurveda, and Women’s Wellness. I carry a large capacity for empathy, compassion, and deep listening. I support women by pulling from my own lived experience along with the stories of all the women I have had the honor of witnessing and assisting.

 

I am whole-heartedly excited to walk this path of powerful womanhood and authentic humanity with you.
