hello, my name is elicia and i am the Passion Doula

I am a queer, white Latinx, cisfemme GenXer. I am on a healing journey to interrogate and atone for my anti-Blackness, and unlearn harms caused by white supremacist, patriarchal, capitalism.These systems of oppression manifest in each of us differently, but no one is immune. From an early age, I felt called to help people feel sexually healthy and whole in the face of societal conditioning intended to strip us of our humanity. That's why at the age of 18, I proclaimed that I would "become the next Dr. Ruth" (Google her if you don't know). I obtained Masters degrees in Social Work and Human Sexuality Education. I was a therapist for youth and adults, and have lots of experience and pearls of wisdom to share from my 25-years in the sexual and reproductive health field as an Executive Director, Board member, and community educator. From my childhood in Denver, CO through mitigating harms from the non-profit industrial complex, I have gotten stuck, experienced burn out, been burned, and grappled with keeping my passion lit. Yet - it's always been here. Even when dim, even when others try to snuff it out. I utilize a heart-led, embodied, humorous approach to birth and rebirth passion in people's bodies, spirits, relationships, and careers. I am no expert nor have all the right answers. But together, we can figure it out and light each other up. We only have one life, and the key? You guessed it: passion.
