Fee Details

Salachon relatives. I'm Ále (AH-leh), the Earthen Mami. I'm a queer Indígena birthworker, artist & activist located in Seattle. I come from the Maya Ch’ortí, Lenca & Garífuna/Garínagu Indigenous & Afroindigenous peoples of Honduras through my father’s side. I'm a radical lover, mujerísta, fur mama, auntie, daughter, sister, and friend. As an Indigenous doula, my practice has been lifelong. I'm deeply connected with my heritage & revel in the complexity & nuance that is my own history and lived experience. It is with joy that I offer myself and my gifts to empower fellow Indigenous & Black Womben and Birthing People in one of the most transformative experiences one can have. The reality of living under capitalism is that our material conditions are dire. I offer a sliding scale option for BBIPGM clients & various payment plans. I'm happy to discuss financial barriers and do not want the cost of our work together to be an added stress.

Ále poured her heart and soul into her business, her purpose, her mission & her intentions with her clients! I was so excited to meet with her & hoped I would be able to work with her! I was looking for a doula VERY last minute, at 37 weeks, because I was unsure if it would be an option for me financially but Ále was warm, loving, kind & accommodating! Right away she was there to answer all of my questions, ease any of my concerns & keep in the loop with any necessary updates! Our first time meeting in person flowed with ease & she had already felt like a friend! She made sure my partner was involved, that he felt seen, heard & loved in a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical way! She clarified with both of us ahead of time what things we were felt comfortable with and what we didn'tz! She also made sure to ask again in the moment! One thing that was so important to me during my birth was to incorporate a spiritual aspect, to connect with the elements & my ancestors, Ále made sure to bring that to life! My birth felt perfect, Ále’s energy was calm & grounding. She reminded me of my power, the divine wisdom my body holds & what I am capable of as a birthing woman! She advocated & held space for me when the time came! She made me a warming & healing soup, lactation cookies, prepped a healing sitz bath, washed dishes, chatted with my partner & I about postpartum struggles or concerns along w/ answering questions we had about our newborn via text, gave momma some me time & made a GORGEOUS birth chart with a message for our daughter! Ále has a heart of gold & the most beautiful light surrounding her, if she is the doula for you you will know it and she will only add loving and calming energy to your birth space!
