About me

Hi — I’m Sampaguita Thank you for being here. I’m a birth worker, student midwife, and lifelong advocate for reproductive and sexual bodily autonomy for every body. My work is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves choice, access, safety, and power in their reproductive journeys. I’m especially honored to support individuals and communities whose lineages have had to fight for this freedom — whether that meant the right to give birth and raise children, or the right not to. It is a sacred calling to support people through the transformative journeys of pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and parenting, and I hold this responsibility with deep gratitude. I bring a lived, embodied lens to this work: - Non-binary lesbian - Mixed 2nd-generation Filipino-American - Birth worker with nearly 10 years of experience - Current student midwife at Midwives College of Utah - Based in Oakland, CA since April 2024 — by way of Olympia, WA and the Los Angeles Harbor Area - Working-class upbringing - Covid cautious and harm reductionist - Living with chronic pain and disabilities In my day-to-day life, I cherish intentional one-on-one connections with friends and love participating in group gatherings rooted in care — for the land and for one another. You’ll often find me at community-centered events where skills, stories, and creativity are generously shared. My world also revolves around my dog, quiet moments with the local flora and fauna, reading, making art when I can, and taking soul-nourishing trips to magical landscapes with people I love. These everyday joys are part of what keep me grounded — and they deeply inform the way I show up in my work: present, curious, and in service to connection. Please feel free to reach out for my list of trainings and certifications, or to schedule a free 15 minute consultation!
