DvinaEstrella Ramey
Greetings I am DvinaEstrella Ramey.
I am 44 and the mother of 7 womb born children, 10 star seed babies, a bonus son, a daughter in love, and a grandbaby, ages ranging from 30-2.
I identify as an African Diasporic Black Indigenous Woman. I was born in Oakland raised in Berkeley, and currently live in and serve the California, Oakland, San Francisco greater Bay Area!
I love to; sing, dance, garden, travel, cook for and host family and friends, work with youth, commune with elders, work with my hands, innovate, study history and culture, and I'm generally up for anything I can do to uplift and support my community, while also having fun, especially in nature!
I am founding doula, educator, counselor, herbalist and ceremonialist behind S.I.S.I.
Sistas in Service International, Traditional Wellness program has been establised with the goal to support women's womb healing, body autonomy, awarness, empowerment, and to encourage interdependance and camaraderie amongst powerful, independant, innovative women, which in turn helps families, which in turn helps communities.
Women carry the culture! Women are the backbones of our societies! Young Women are our future matriarchs !
Our Men, Young Men, Gender fluid, Non-Binary partners are our dualities, our protectors, providors, our sustainers.
My elders taught me, we all have a role to play in keeping the balance, so here at S.I.S.I. we don't exclude them completely from our work.
