Natural Gynecology is our
Model of Care
Natural gynecology raises prevention and relief from our bodily self-knowledge in accompaniment with traditional medicine, in addition to basic ancestral practices.
Our practice of natural gynecology does not invalidate the benefits of allopathic medicine in terms of precise or preventive gynecological consultations, but rather it is a struggle to regain active participation in our health; neither a specialist nor a medical tool or a biology book could teach us more than ourselves.
Natural medicine is part of our ancestral heritage, it belongs to our history, it is our legacy and we owe it to them. Plants are family, just as we all should. However, we have learned from experience, that the vital energy that a medicinal plant has is useless if we are not connected with our process. To recover our bodies we must become self-taught in our basic sexual-reproductive health. We want to provide these tools in order for you to be involved in your own self-knowledge, in order for you to share it collectively and responsibly, this is how we are weaving the path to the power of our collective healing.
“The training was a phenomenal experience. I wish I had taken this training before I took any other training when it comes to working with pregnancy. Thank you so much and I’m referring lots of people to you”
— Tytina (Training participant, 2019)
Natural Gynecology Care
We use herbal remedies that have been proven as a substitute for chemical medications for symptomatic relief, these remedies also have a preventive and treatment use for some common diseases with low morbidity. We also practice exercises for self-examination and identification of gynecological stages for bodies, that involve vaginal health, ovulation, fertility, and menstruation.
Fertility and Conception Care
We understand the journey of conception can be challenging, stressful, even lonely, and often filled with grief. It is never a flat line. We’ve been there, and because we understand, we want to extend our hands to those in the process and in the need. No one should have to go over this on their own.
Womb Health Care/Sobos
We support people with uteri with their pelvic and womb care either because they are trying to conceive, they are managing fibroids and cysts, healing trauma, after birth, abortion, or pregnancy loss, as well as to close any cycle of their life. Sobos is a tradition from our Healers in the mountains of Puerto Rico; one that we honor and take seriously as our Ancestors guide the way of our hands.
All Outcomes of Pregnancy Care
Care during any Outcomes of Pregnancy has many sides to it, and we are willing to figure them all with you and your loved ones. We want to provide you a healing hand so you don’t feel alone, regardless of what was the outcome of your pregnancy, as you all deserve:
Somatic Therapy and Bodywork
We help individuals understand their bodies and the way it responds to its' own history, its’ own way to find pleasure, as well as to its’ own trauma. We offer trauma-informed care as well as handled with a feminist, gentle, body-sex positive, and diversity of ability approach. We want you to understand that pleasure is not a line written the same to all, reason why we shouldn’t pretend to navigate it equally.
Prenatal Massage Therapy
Studies has shown how Prenatal massage therapy can help reduce anxiety, decrease symptoms of depression, relieve muscle aches and joint pains, and improve labor outcomes as well as newborn health.
Somatic Sex Ed Pleasure Series
A series of workshops and conversations to help individuals understand their bodies, and the way it responds to its' history, pleasure as well as to its trauma. All classes are trauma-informed as well as handled with a feminist, gentle, body-sex positive, and diversity of ability approach. We want you to understand that pleasure is ok although not a flat line, and you shouldn’t feel guilty or incomplete about it.
All Outcomes of Pregnancy Ed Series
Regardless of people’s pregnancy outcomes, whether wanted pregnancies, birth, postpartum, perinatal loss at a diversity of stages, abortion, alternative insemination, among others; we train individuals to become the best support people can have out there. Because we know and understand, the more prepared is the community, the best outcomes for all.
Community Health Workers Ed Series
We offer training for individuals and their communities interested in becoming resources for their own people. We create curriculums that respond to our communities’ needs. This way we not only guarantee our communities receive excellent, assertive, high-quality education and resources, but we also motivate communities to also utilize mutual aid response to not only stay healthy but multiply the information among them. Our series has been very handy on communities overcoming natural disasters and systemic oppression that makes the gap between them and accessibility to resources way bigger than it should.
Youth Ally Sex Ed Series
Over 20 years of experience offering comprehensive, trauma-informed, and Sex Health Education classes for younger audiences. We understand our system has failed our communities, parents, and families by not providing the best education and understanding of these topics in the past. For that reason, they haven’t been able to pass it on to our Youth. To break and heal this chain, we believe our Youth deserves all the information to make the best decisions when they can, they deserve to learn it alongside their communities, and they deserve we trust them on passing this information to our future generations.
