Joyce Zara
I am a queer, Batangueña-Bisayan Waray and Chinese migrant, ancestral birthworker, poet, grief tender, ceremonialist, and a culture bearer. I was raised in a matriarchal barangay (village) where traditional Filipino practices and customs were common. I offer in-person and virtual holistic full spectrum doula support and ancestral healing practices. I believe in a gentle approach to supporting and caring for the gestational person and families, while honoring physiological birth in trauma-informed ways. My birth work is an ancestral calling to heal familial wounds, to cultivate intergenerational healing, and to re-village with a decolonizing lens.
