Para Mamí

The 40 days after the birth of a baby is traditionally known as la cuarentena. In Latin American culture, the cuarentena is a time for new moms to rest and recover while the women in their communities provide housekeeping and support at home. This is very much in line with our collectivistic culture. 

Aside from having the privilege to care for new chuiquitita, I've learned that becoming a mom also means showing up for other new moms the way my cuarentena village showed up for me.

Staying true to what I've learned, I am launching this offering to be a part of your cuarentena.

"Para Mamí"is a set of eight pro bono therapy sessions for new moms of newborns. My goal with this short-term therapy offering is to provide you with support, care, and facilitate the many components of healing that come with becoming a mamí.

Para Mamí has been a regular offering throughout 2024. However, due to the impact of the fires in Los Angeles, CA, I will be offering two slots for new moms affected by the fires.
