Welcome. I am so glad that you are here.
I know that you know that birth and giving birth affects our entire lives. You are here because you know parents, mothers and babies can be honored and welcomed with love and presence. You know birth and ancestral imprints can be healed and integrated. You know that your spiritual path, your parenting path and your professional path can entwine more fully.

Hi, I’m Gena. I’m here to support you to build bridges between your heart and your womb, between your birth imprints and your present life, between your spiritual, parenting and professional paths and between traditional perinatal health care and perinatal integrative health care. I am committed to teaching skills that reduce and prevent trauma through education and community building. Experience and research show us that when we address trauma triggers and become trauma informed, we can prevent and reduce trauma. From there, we can move into the work of becoming informed by wonder, the place where bliss, pleasure and connection fills our bodies, our families and our communities |

Are you ready to bring more perinatal ceremonies into your life and work? Are you ready to become a facilitator and work with a skilled mentor and support community? Are you ready to strengthen your relationship with spirit, your own wisdom stream and your community practice today? Join this growing movement of healers, coaches, community health workers, ceremonialists, psychotherapists, midwives, doulas, nurses...! Prepare yourself to be Personally and Professionally Ready to offer Ceremonies. |

Solidarity Statement
My ancestors are Romanian Jewish, Irish and English. My Irish ancestors were farmers and come from a history of suffering under British imperialism and Irish upper class oppression. They were also union organizers. My Romanian Jewish ancestors were traders and experienced pograms, the holocaust and racism. They were also poets, musicians and spiritual teachers. I am a white person who is involved in ongoing healing of the intergenerational trauma in my body from the abuse my white ancestors experienced and from the abuse and racism they perpetuated and resourced by their many blessings and gifts. And I am in an ongoing learning of how to recognize my own white privilege and not act it out. |
Since 1969, I have used my body and privilege to support movements to transform the inner and outer structures of racism, classism, sexism, and our disconnections from our bodies and the earth.
Today, I continue to stand with: Black Mothers and Babies’ Lives Matter, Indigenous movements, Black Lives Matter, BIPOC and others’ struggles and victories for reparations/rematriatians, land back demands, economic justice and earth care.
I am grateful to pay tax to the Sogorea Te land trust to honor that I live and work on the occupied lands of the Miwok Ohlone Peoples and to honor their work to restore their lands and people's ceremonies.
I am grateful to contribute to the Amah Mutson land trust to honor my friendship with this tribe and their efforts to bring right relationships and healing for all of our relations.
May we heal together.
