Welcome love,
I’m Selena, an educator, birth-worker, and alchemist devoted to nurturing innate inner power and bridging connections.
My lived experiences are what first taught me how to hold complexity with care. My background in anthropology, childhood and special education later deepened that understanding. I find peace in the cycles of autumn and spring, medicine in writing, and refuge in the arts. As my mother’s ninth child and my father’s fourth and only daughter, and the sole child born of their union, I carry the knowing that love moves beyond titles and time. I carry the knowing that love moves beyond titles and time.
I don’t claim to hold all the answers, but I trust in the power of questions to guide us toward new worlds. With bravery and curiosity, we remember, we change, and we begin again.
I’m here to support you in connecting with your divine Self, in whatever form it’s ready to take.
In community,
Selena
my story
I longed for my birth mother’s presence, and yet I am grateful for a father who took on the challenges of being a single dad. He viewed adversity as a catalyst for growth, found romance in the sounds of salsa, embraced the art of being loud, and taught through storytelling.
His family helped raise me, making me a product of our village's words, earths, and wisdom. They’ve helped me form the will to transform pain, understand survival, and honor life’s trials and tribulations as spiritual fortification.
He had three sons before me, my brothers. We never needed labels like "half" or "step" — we’re whole. They supported him in caring for me. Each uniquely imprinting my heart. Their mother became my mother, and their wives became my mothers too.
