Pam brings 12 years of experience within community-based mental health as a social worker and therapist and has received over 3500 hours of training as both therapist and trauma-informed mindfulness teacher.
Throughout her years in the field, she experienced numerous periods of burnout and depletion. Further experiences in an unsatisfactory and at times, harmful colonized mental health and medical model, as both client and practitioner, she turned to somatics (body-based) practices and guided journeys.
I am deeply shaped by my lived experience as a Jewish and Queer woman who is neurodivergent, and by a desire to share in the journey into our inner landscapes and embodied wisdom through movement, nature-based practices, writing, and therapy. From the place of being guided by many teachers and practitioners toward my fullness, I show up as a guide in these circles and retreats where we move through holding patterns to claim the fullest expression of ourselves within our lived experience.

I am the daughter of family therapist and spiritual warrior Maria Salete, granddaughter of medicine carriers Maria Julia and Maria Lima, of Xucuru-Kariri (Brazilian 1st nation), Italian and Portuguese ancestry. After working as a leader for social and environmental justice in the U.S. for decades, I was propelled to finally face and heal the various layers of vicarious, historical, religious, sexual, and intergenerational trauma I had been carrying. Deep bows of gratitude to the teachers, guides, and practices that inspired and held me through my own healing and allow me to keep constantly evolving as wellness practitioner.

Danielle brings over 15 years of experience as a women’s+ health worker, parenting coach, and entrepreneur, having walked alongside over 550 pregnancies and 30 losses as a full spectrum doula. Danielle founded and co-owned a space for growing families with a specific focus on LGBTQ+ family planning/pregnancy/postpartum in Tacoma, WA prior to moving to the Bay Area. Danielle feels deeply called to supporting friends and clients through both small and large transitions and has a passion for creating communities of care.
I am my late grandmother’s daughter and my mother’s dream, I am deeply loved by a long line of eccentric and deep-thinking feral women. I primarily identify as a queer parent who is discovering my neurodivergence. I am on a journey of untangling, unearthing, and unlearning my internalized white supremacy, ableism, and other destructive cultural practices of my ancestors, reconciling the pain and hurt of my people through re-connecting to my roots through storytelling and embodied wisdom. Motherhood/parenthood has been transformational for me in many ways and I am especially excited to continue my own healing work.
May we be of service here (and everywhere) for our Highest Good and all of those who are called to work with us. May we humbly hold space for YOUR unfolding as we collectively heal and (re)member how to embody our true divine nature
