About me

Salachon comrades and relatives. I am Ále (AH-leh, she/her), the Earthen Mami. I am a queer traditional multiracial Afroindígena full-spectrum community BirthKeeper, artist, fur mama, auntie, lover, ancestral healer & activist located on Coast Salish land, Point Elliott & Medicine Creek Treaty Territory (Seattle, WA). I come from the Maya Ch’ortí, Lenca, and Garífuna/Garínagu Indigenous & Afroindigenous peoples of Honduras through my father’s side. I also carry Northwestern European heritage, namely German, Celtic & Norwegian. My birthwork is deeply rooted in my spiritual practice through my Mesoamerican and Afro-Caribbean upbringing. I believe that birth is a sacred ceremony and rite of passage, and it is a true honor to support you and your family throughout all stages of this journey. I primarily serve our Indigenous and Black communities, and am welcoming of all gender identities and immigration statuses.

Service introduction

Salachon relatives. I am Ále (AH-leh), la Earthen Mami. I am a queer multiracial Afroindígena birthkeeper, artist, and activist living on Point Elliott Treaty Territory (Seattle, WA). I come from the Maya Ch’ortí, Lenca, and Garífuna/Garínagu Indigenous & Afroindigenous peoples of Honduras through my father’s side and also carry Northwestern European ancestry. I am a radical lover, mujerísta, fur mama, auntie to twin boys, daughter, sister, niece, friend, and comrade. I am a mother to one sweet star baby. My birthwork is rooted in my spirituality and identity as a queer Mesoamerican Indigenous woman. I am loudly pro-Black, Brown & Indigenous, pro-Palestinian, anti-capitalist and anti-imperialist. I speak English, Spanish, and German and am currently learning Ch’ortí Maya. I have Bachelor’s degrees in Biological Anthropology (Human Biology), where I studied the evolution of female primate sexuality and reproduction, as well as German studies. I am a lifelong learner and am keen to learn and share the traditions of my ancestors while honoring and celebrating yours. I aspire to become an ajk’op ch’urkab’ (midwife) and to birth and raise my own babies when the time is right.
