Carina is a second generation Filipinx and El Salvadoran queer and revolutionary full-spectrum doula. In an effort to reclaim the ancestral healing framework of the Filipino Babaylan Tradition, she intends to center the Babaylan Spirit of revolution, the belief in sacred wholeness, and the desire to serve aligned communities.
Carina devotes herself to re-remembering the innate wisdom and powers of birthing people’s abilities to birth life into this earthly realm. In re-remembering this ancient wisdom, Carina rejects harmful patriarchal systems and resists colonial structures of all forms.
Carina provides additional support by bridging birthwork and astrology through careful observation of one’s cosmic makeup to identify any aspects and/or analyze current transits in the sky as it relates to one's placements. She provides insights into the energies of the chart to instill a sense of calm, understanding, and presence through the sacred journey.
In addition to Carina's duty to ensure their clients feel seen, held, and supported, she recognizes that every birthing person's experience is unique and as a result of this, ensures the care they receive is catered to their individual experiences.
In and out of this work, Carina of Babaylan Spirit aims to uplift, support, honor, and advocate for all sacred portals.
