About Us

Medina is a woman with many titles: wife, mother, certified midwife assistant, Maryland licensed massage therapist (Lic#R03337), holistic birth and postpartum doula, and accomplished author, to name a few. Her unrelenting devotion to women’s health and wellness is matched only by her fiery desire to make a difference in the world. She is a graduate of the "Holistic Massage Training Institute" and has more than 4 years of experience doing prenatal, fertility, infant, and postpartum massage. She has attended Anne Arundel Community College and Western Governors University, and is currently furthering her education in Midwifery Studies at National College of Midwifery. Medina has additional certifications in birth assisting, CPR and  neonatal resuscitation, holistic doula and postpartum work, stretch therapy, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, prenatal massage therapy, and cupping therapy. 

Medina’s journey began with the birth of her first child, which went off without a hitch and taught her the value of a strong community of caretakers. Her second birth experience was not as supportive, and subsequently she knew she was destined to work in women’s health to ensure that women have access to support and caretaking.

In 2022, The Shades of Blue Project honored Medina with the prestigious Good Heart Award during Black Maternal Health Week for her outstanding work in the birthing community. The Shades of Blue Project is dedicated to helping women of color before, during and after child-birth with community resources, mental health advocacy, treatment and support. Medina has also appeared in many esteemed magazines and publications, such as Motherly, Beauty Boost Baltimore, Voyage Baltimore, Fashion Week Online, and Jukebox Time. While Medina enjoys treating all bodies with therapeutic massage, her speciality is in pre- and postnatal massage and individuals suffering from chronic lower back pain.
