hi love,

I’m Selena, a second-generation nuyorican holistic educator, conduit, and full-spectrum doula nurturing innate inner power and bridging connections.

My approach is shaped by my background in anthropology, childhood and special education, as well as the lived experiences that have taught me to hold complexity with care.

I find peace in the cycles of autumn and spring. Writing is my medicine. The arts are where I seek refuge. As my mother’s ninth child and my father’s fourth and only daughter, I carry the knowing that love transcends titles and time.

I do not claim to have all the answers, but I trust in the power of questions as the seeds we need to birth new worlds. It takes our bravery and curiosity to ask, to change, and to remember.

I'm here to support you in connecting with your divine Self and your Truth 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 viewed adversity as a catalyst for growth. My dad valued God and family. He found romance in 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 instilled in me the will to transform pain, understand survival, and honor the trials and tribulations as spiritual fortification.

He had three sons before me, my brothers. We never needed labels like "half" or "step" — we are whole. They supported him in caring for me. Each uniquely imprinting my heart. I've grown to see them as scholars, leaders, warriors, and fathers. Their mother became my mother, and their wives became my mothers too.
