mental health doula
As a mental health doula, I offer compassionate, autonomy-centered support for those navigating neurodivergent experience, altered states, spiritual awakening, life transition, and identity exploration.
Rooted in decolonial trauma studies, liberatory pedagogy, neurodiversity-affirming frameworks, anti-carceral care, and active lineage energy work, my approach holds space for periods of emotional intensity and life reorganization to be witnessed rather than pathologized — honoring self-determination and supporting integration through research, ritual, care practices, and embodied strategies.

the three processes
a three-month container moving through three transformational processes
01 healing stories
Narrative healing and meaning-making through non-pathologizing frameworks. We reframe experiences through lenses that honor your truth — drawing on neurodiversity-affirming identities, feminist care lineages, decolonial trauma studies, queer theory, and active lineage mysticism.
02 sovereignty toolkit
Practical strategies for inhabiting medical, institutional, and sociocultural systems on your own terms — building real, usable tools for advocating, communicating, and maintaining sovereignty across the relational and systemic encounters of daily life.
03 care maps
Building care networks, rituals, and accommodation maps for your support needs and altered states. We design practical, consent-based structures that honor your bodymind and can be activated when you need them most.
each process includes
a sacred spaceholding session, a praxis session, and a care packet

Sacred Spaceholding
Sacred Spaceholding is the energetic and relational foundation of each process — a confidential, non-judgmental container for what needs to be witnessed, felt, and moved. Drawing on active lineage energy work, doula practice, and deep relational presence, these sessions hold space for diagnosis, lived experience, identity, sensory life, and emotional intensity without fear of judgment. What arises here informs the Praxis Session.
Sessions may include emotional accompaniment, rituals, energy work, narrative play, and reflective conversation, alongside resourcing with the elements, channeled guidance, energetic clearing and cleansing, and integration of new energy signatures.
-
praxis session
A Praxis Session is an educational and relational session rooted in liberatory pedagogy — knowledge that moves toward action, self-determination, and meaning-making. Drawing on research across medical sociology, medical anthropology, decolonial trauma studies, neurodiversity-affirming frameworks, and critical psychiatry and psychology, each Praxis Session is built from what surfaced in the preceding Sacred Spaceholding session and tailored entirely to your specific process and journey.
Sessions may include Neurodiversity-Affirming Diagnostic Integration, Care System Literacy, Beyond Biomedical Models of Mental Health, Altered State Support Planning, Coloniality & Cosmological Liberation, Non-Carceral Care Mapping, and more.
-
care packet
A Care Packet is a written document developed from your sessions and your doula's in-depth research, tailored entirely to your specific process and journey. Each packet is built from what emerged in your Sacred Spaceholding and Praxis Sessions — translating the work into something tangible, researched, and yours to keep long after the container closes.
Care Packets may include resource lists, liberatory reading and media recommendations, frameworks and theoretical orienting materials, communication scripts, role-play scenarios, accommodation strategies, care network maps, safety and resourcing protocols, referrals to affirming providers, and reflections drawn from your work together.
-
A new diagnosis can shift the lens through which you see your entire life. These sessions create space to reprocess your story alongside this new lens with compassion, tending to old wounds that may surface and integrating them into a fuller sense of self. Together, we might use inner child work, narrative reframing, and other practices to support you in weaving a diagnosis into your life in ways that feel empowering rather than limiting. Drawing on critical sociology, we also recognize that diagnosis is not simply descriptive but productive — it shapes meaning, identity, and possibility. With this awareness, we’ll explore how you want to relate to your diagnosis, ensuring it serves your agency, dignity, and growth.
-
Spiritual awakenings can be profound, disorienting, and deeply transformative. In these sessions, we tend to the symptoms and gifts of awakening while grounding them safely in daily life. Together we explore how colonization has shaped reality and learn practices for tending to the mind and spirit. You’ll also receive guidance for finding aligned mentors, safely opening channels of communication with spirit, and making meaning from awakening experiences in an affirming container.
-
Together, we explore critical psychiatry, decolonial approaches to mental health, and practical tools for navigating care systems. These sessions are about centering your autonomy: understanding misdiagnoses, exploring sensory accommodations, and practicing effective communication with providers through role-play. You’ll also receive guidance on choosing between self-diagnosis and formal diagnosis, accessing affirming resources, and identifying practitioners who respect your identity. If needed, we’ll also cover how to recognize and respond to cultural, racial, or gender bias in care.

Assistance in mapping and building a community network that honors your bodymind, understands your accommodations, and can respond when your support is needed. I also provide guidance and advocacy to ensure your accommodations are respected in workplaces, schools, and other environments. This includes personalized strategies for sensory, cognitive, and emotional support, as well as practical planning and coping tools to make daily life more sustainable and empowering.

These sessions focus on two moments in relation to altered states of consciousness — psychosis, suicidality, meltdowns, shutdowns, and acute depressive or anxiety states. Proactive preparation: building personalized care plans, safety protocols, and resourcing strategies before intensity arrives. And post-integration: processing what happened, making meaning on your own terms, and weaving the experience back into your life. Informed by decolonial, postcolonial, and critical psychiatry approaches that honor your autonomy and self-defined relationship to these experiences.
-
Grief takes many forms — loss of a person, a relationship, an identity, a diagnosis, a version of yourself, or a future you imagined. These sessions create a non-pathologizing space to be with grief in all its complexity, moving at your own pace without pressure toward resolution or recovery. Drawing on decolonial trauma studies and feminist care lineages, we tend to grief as a meaningful and sovereign experience rather than a problem to be managed or a timeline to be met.
The Doula Experience: €2,200 + 19% VAT (total €2,618) for a three-month container moving through three transformational processes. This investment reflects not only our time together but also the many hours of care, research, and preparation I bring outside of sessions to ensure you receive truly personalized, continuous support.
Installment Plans: A 6–9 month payment plan is available, ranging from €291–€436/month, tailored collaboratively to your financial capacity.
I offer low-cost to no-cost support for two individuals per year, prioritizing those who face most access barriers to affirming care.
