Akemi is the person to go to for your tens unit rental, spinning babies, rebozo, acupressure, aromatherapy, belly binding, and Spanish and Portuguese language services (including childbirth education in English and Spanish).
She writes, “I'm a certified birth doula based in Baltimore City, as a LatinAsian I'm aware of how your cultural background can help you see the world in many different ways and I truly enjoy that.
“Always love to connect with my clients (especially migrant and multicultural families) to know how to adapt my experience for each one of them depending on their specific needs. I'm trained in Spinning babies, Rebozo and Mexican belly binding, aromatherapy and acupressure to complement my hands-on comfort measures, I'm fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, and speak basic French.
“My own experience having 2 natural births taught me how important the role of a support person is, and that made me want to switch career paths in order to serve other birthing people and help how they experience their journey, especially when you're not giving birth in your own country or in your own language.
“Cooking is my zen zone, sharing food with my family and friends is my happy place.”
