Getting to NOMI
The southern charm.
Crowned and raised in the Sunshine state known as Florida. Hand in hand I was led by a generation of wombmen. We taught each other what the idea of a man was, simply because we didn't have one to show us. My love for babies developed when I was a baby. I remember one day my mom was watching this little boy, and he continuously stepped on my baby dolls. I yelled and cried in agony "STOP IT!!! MOOMMYY MAKE HIM STOP IT!" She rushed to the room frantic and asked "what is wrong! did he hurt you?!" an overly emotional me replied, " yes, he's hurting my dolls, and that hurts me!". Thinking back it makes me chuckle, but I knew then that I would always want to be surrounded by wombmen and babies.
My journey started young. Since I was in grade school I was babysitting, making the bed, and giving foot massages to newly postpartum family members . In 2018 is when I decided to take on the title of a doula. In all honesty, this choice wasn't for wombmen kind, it was for me. I needed to know everything about my body so that when I decided to become a vessel to transfer life, I wouldn't need to depend on anyone else other than I. In 2021 I later adopted the title/status of being a womb asistar.
I learned of bengkung belly binding around year 2015 thru my eldest sister. In 2019 is when I started my practice traditional belly binding using my newly postpartum body. The comfort I felt from the art left me in awe. I decided to leave the field of being a womb asistar that same year. I knew that I couldn't leave the community completely, but as a new mother I needed to be with my baby. I decided to take on the role of educating our eumelanated wombmen on our lost tradition of the usage of a belly bind during prenatal, perinatal, postpartum, and during a wombmans menstrual cycle.
D4 Prenatal & Postpartum Life Care Services decided to take on the challenge of teaching wombmen how to naturally heal their body. Whether it be from diastasis recti, rib flare, SPD, sciatica nerve, scoliosis, hernia, or loose hips, natural healing thru belly binding and the company of other remedies is possible!
Come and take the journey with us as we flutter towards healing!
