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 of 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 every day. I love the land and its creatures, dancing, poetry, and the dreams and stories of my grandparents who keep me company in this magical Mojave Desert, the ancestral land of the Nuwuvi people, that shelters us and gives us a home. I provide comprehensive support to Latino families who want to live an empowered and dignified pregnancy, birth, and postpartum by weaving traditional practices and rituals into the care, nourishment, education, and advocacy they require to live and thrive. 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.

Hi my name is Hana Gutierrez (she/ella). I’m a licensed Marriage and Family therapy intern. As a Black and Latinx woman I’m no stranger to the boxes Western society tries to place women of color within. My experiences in multiple minoritized identities has ultimately led me to an interest in the social construction of identities. This journey allows me to be more curious and challenging about the assumptions we make about identity. I enjoy assisting clients in unpacking expectations and giving themselves permission to release that which does not serve us.Those who collaborate with me can expect a humorous and intentional approach to therapy. Life can be sharp; humor is a way we can cope and interrogate our world. My therapy space is a place where one can be themselves and use their voice. I make it a point to maintain an ongoing dialogue with clients about the safety of the space. I encourage clients to express when they disagree or are unsure of a thought I share. I am committed to repairing and learning from my clients.
My areas of focus are identity exploration, life transitions, and grief. When I say grief I mean the loss experience as a whole. I enjoy discussing immaterial loss with clients, the intangible losses. This work is important to me because I feel like it gives space for the experiences capitalism and colonialism often don’t permit us to name. The loss of culture, the loss of humanity, the loss of dignity. I believe times of transition and change often give us a unique opportunity to reflect on our identities and our losses.

My name is Rachel Johnson and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I am a single mother who is passionate about working with individuals who are looking to develop a deeper sense of connection with others and themselves. I enjoy spending time with people who actively challenge the status quo and advocate passionately for their communities and loved ones. I felt called to this work when I started to explore what it could look like to understand others in my life in a meaningful and compassionate way. The education I received brought me closer to the work I wanted to do and becoming independent assisted me in starting the next journey of my career and self-development. I do not identify as a one approach therapist as I believe a majority of our change takes place within the context of relationships and that therapy is a relational avenue for change and insight development. I also believe that the individual attending therapy knows what their journey is meant to be and where their desired outcomes lay.
