Hi! I'm Paloma.
A TRADITIONAL BIRTH WORKER, WOMEN’S CEREMONY FACILITATOR, POSTPARTUM KEEPER AND WOMB HEALER.
I am not a licensed or registered midwife. Nor am I a Doula. Although the work I do resembles what midwives and women used to do years ago before birth became medicalised.
​
I have been taught under the wing of Emilee Saldaya, founder of Freebirth Society and creator of The Radical Birth Keeper School, from which I graduated. With Yolande-Norris-Clark, also one of my wise teachers, an experienced traditional midwife and expert in her field.
Along the way I have gained knowledge from many wise women and from my own experience as a fully embodied woman on this earth.
I GUIDE WOMEN WHO WANT TO TAKE BACK THEIR POWER AND AUTONOMY. TEACH THEM HOW TO TRUST THEIR INNATE ABILITY TO BIRTH THEIR OWN BABIES OUTSIDE OF THE MEDICAL PARADIGM AND CONNECT TO THEIR MOTHERING INSTINCTS. CREATING A NEW WORLD WHERE MOTHERS AND BABIES ARE CENTRED, CARED FOR AND VALUED.
My Story
From the age of nineteen I’ve had an interest in birth. Particularly home birth. Fast forward a few years and I found myself unexpectedly pregnant. I knew I didn’t want to go the medical route and wanted minimal prenatal testing. I went to a couple of appointments with some NHS midwives but I just found them pushy and condescending. So I decided to stop my care with them and navigate through a wild pregnancy, forgoing scans and testing. I found the Freebirth Society, took their complete guide, listened to women’s stories of birthing wildly and unassisted by medical professionals and decided to go for it! After navigating some doubtful loved ones, working through my fears and learning everything I could, I was EXCITED for my upcoming birth.
AFTER 8 INTENSE, CRAZY, MAGICAL HOURS, I BIRTHED MY BEAUTIFUL SON INTO THE WORLD.
He was born at my parent’s home in the South of France, with only my partner and mother present. It was the most powerful, surreal and wild experience of my life! I will never forget the feeling of receiving my son into my arms and putting him on my chest. Meeting him for the first time and feeling like a powerful Goddess. I did it! THIS is what birth is meant to feel like.
I DO THIS WORK TODAY, SO MORE WOMEN CAN EXPERIENCE WHAT I DID!
TRUTH MATTERS
Here, at Ibiza Birth Keeper, you will only hear complete honesty. I share radical truths about medicalised birth. I’m not here to go along with the narrative that you’ve been led to believe is true. I will not tell you what you should or shouldn't do, or offer medical advice.
I am here to guide you on your OWN journey. Where you will make your own decisions and lead the way. I will support you and offer wisdom as someone who views things differently. And that is how you will become a fully embodied, powerful and confident woman and mother!
