Postpartum Care
Alysha is a mother of three beautiful children, with one on the way. Her personal experience with two of the best midwives in Los Angeles, as well as incredible Indigenous midwives in Hawai'i, has given her a deep, lived education in pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the innate birthing process. She has experienced both home birth—welcoming her son in an intimate setting—and the hospital birth experience following complications with her first pregnancy. These experiences have given her a broad perspective on the birthing process in all its possibilities.
She has trained twice as a birth doula—through CAPPA and with the Long Beach Birth Workers of Color Collective. Alysha's approach to birth work is rooted in deep intuition, guiding mothers toward their most empowered selves, affirming their needs, and helping them work through any emotional or physical blocks that may impede the birth process.
A passionate advocate for maternal wellness, Alysha is dedicated to supporting new mothers—not only during birth but throughout the postpartum period and beyond. She believes in communal care and sees the transition into motherhood as a sacred rite of passage, one that should be met with deep support and joyous celebration. She helps mothers reclaim their sense of self and expand into their next level of being.

As an INNATE Postpartum Care practitioner trained under Rachelle Garcia Seliga, Alysha offers vital postpartum education classes for pregnant clients and community members. She is also trained as an Ayurvedic Postpartum Conscious Caregiver with The Center for Sacred Window Studies, integrating ancient healing wisdom into her postpartum care offerings.
As part of her postpartum support, she provides bodywork treatments and is a lomi lomi practitioner, trained by her Kumu, Jeana Naluai of Ho'omana Spa. Her specialties include hapai (pregnancy) massage, opu (stomach) massage, postpartum healing, weaving in Closing of the Bones, and other warming therapies such as moxa, hot stones, and basic abhyanga massage—with instruction available for both mother and infant.
Alysha has also researched and written The Trini Traditional Postpartum Care Revival, a zine exploring the rich postpartum traditions of Trinidad. This work highlights the cultural wisdom surrounding postpartum healing and is set to be available for purchase in 2025.
