THE PERSON BEHIND THE CARE
I am Bethany.
An Irish-Filipina birthworker based in the South Puget Sound.
My work is grounded in Traditional Filipino Indigenous Medicine and Kapampangan practices from my lineage.
I seek to blend modern birth care with ancestral practices that honor the stories of the families I support.
