As an ethnographer, doula and recipient of two open heart surgeries, Serena has spent her life submersed in intuitive inquiry. She weaves together her own ancestral practices from India, Western Europe and Northern Canada into unique methodologies for reclaiming your amazing process in birthing trust for yourself. She's here to help you embrace the cyclical nature of your creative power while simply "bringing glam back to tradition".
Michel Odent, OB & Serena at the Birth Keeper's Summit in
Berkeley, CA 2014
I’m a human birth ethnologist - an interpreter of the ethereal, writer, mentor and speaker. I've been a doula and family wellness practitioner and researcher for over 20 years. I've had two open heart surgeries (I began my ethereal pushups as a baby), two homebirths and I'm the mother of two powerhouse boys (that's my excuse for why I'm wearing gum boots when you see me at the grocery store). I help to center in on and nurture our "Collective Womb Muscle" based on our ancestral connections and primal intuitive power as mammals. The source of your unique creative power is to be understood, then flexed to give birth to yourself, your goals, and yes, to another human being.
I am your freedom doula and I'm here to witness what freedom means to you. Only you can can define what sovereignty and expansion means to you and how it applies to this stage in your life. My role is to help you to build the right container for that, as I cheer you on, support and help you to feel grounded calm and ready for both the known and the unknown.
I'll help you to get acquainted with the best tools to move forward with confidence and informed care as you face the full spectrum of choices that are available to you on your journey.
As a professional wisdom keeper, I bridge the universal and transformational experiences of life cycle changes. I make exploring ancestral connections to human wisdom both accessible and exciting. We have all been affected by colonialism and a loss of cultural pathways. It was once commonplace to rely on the stepping stones of culture and community for a strong, reliable source of collective confidence. Many of us now live far away from family and in nuclear arrangements which make it challenging to best build our lives and to find long-lasting, sustainable and supportive trust. As a result, we have a lot of reclaiming to do! And there's no better time to explore this then with childbirth.
My role is to proactively and holistically help to heal and recognize diverse needs and connections to our natural state through educational and support services. I provide classes and private coaching for the seasons of adolescence, pregnancy and beyond to help uncover and nurture your inner leader. We are not just mothers, daughters, or wives, we have a visceral responsibility to listen deeply to what we ultimately want to bring forth as we give birth to ourselves, our ideas and projects in a way that our grandmother's couldn't.
I bring people together to embrace and feel more supported in their roles as intergenerational powerhouses.
Since I was old enough to get my first heart surgery (at the age of 13 months), understanding the influence and intricacy of emotional and physical healing has been an amazing source of curiosity and learning. Through my own journey of embodied wisdom and trust and nearly two decades of directly supporting families- I now connect the dots of intuition, culture and research and how they impact our everyday lives and times of important decision making. I help and support everyone to dive deep into fears and rise into their own best defined version of freedom in their mind, body and heart.
