Congratulations on your growing family!

I became a doula because of my love of supporting physiological birth. As a birth doula, I attend birth in all settings. I truly believe birth is sacred and hold that reverence when entering the space. When working as a postpartum doula, I love helping new parents get as much sleep as possible and are well nourished.

My philosophy as a doula is that every birthing person deserves evidence-based information, emotional support and comfort measures. Empowered birthing people are confident going into labor and that is key to having an optimal experience.... See More

Bix a beel! My name is Zuleima Jimenez. I was born and raised in Oxnard Ca, (Chumash Territory) and grew up a bit in the Bay Area. My family is native to Nayarit, Yucatan (Mexico) and Cuba. I share much love and deep gratitude for my ancestors, abuelas and antepasades who have passed down the wisdom of living in sacred time. Because of them, I am. And because of them I am able to perceive the world from my eyes within and listen to the language of silent knowledge. By paying attention to the pull of my inner senses through such experiences, I was granted a taste of the divine nectars of presence through Art, Birth work and Herbalism (The divine III for me). Patience, studying, experience and practice, manifested in how I am now able to support you with my highest presence and loving attention with respect to your true essence while in deep relationship to the universe, our earth and my heart. I am able to offer these services due to my life path and connections to the various sacred teachers, elders, mentors, family and friends who have opened my heart space along the way. I stay constantly connecting to the plants that surround my current space in time, in efforts to keep spreading the abundance of medicine that is within and around each of us.

Services are on a sliding scale basis. Please contact me for rates. All services can be modified to your needs. Packages are also available. All services are available in English and Spanish.

In all forms of support, I offer (as needed) consensual touch, breathing techniques, diet/meal suggestions, customized herbal support, yoni/vaginal/abdomen steaming, pain management techniques, goal and plan manifesting, and massage.

 .:I give thanks to my ancestors, spirit guides, our Lu'um, la Pachamama, the plants, the animals and you, beloved ONE:.... See More
