About Alejandra:
Alejandra Lozano, is a dedicated Mexican Midwife with over 11 years of experience walking the sacred path of supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Alejandra's journey into midwifery began with the birth of her son, Mariano— born at home, in water, and surrounded by midwives. That transformative experience awakened a calling in her heart to walk this path.
Her first mentor, her midwife, guided her initial steps. But Alejandra's thirst for deeper knowledge took her south, where she immersed herself in traditional Mexican midwifery. There, she connected with midwives who taught her ancestral practices such as Sobada (healing massages), Rebozo techniques, herbal medicine, temazcales, and sacred rituals. Each practice, rooted in love and community, shaped the way Alejandra now walks with women.
Today, Alejandra combines this ancestral wisdom with her intuition, creating a space of trust, compassion, and connection for the women she serves. She doesn't consider herself a traditional midwife in the strictest sense—having been born in the city—but her spirit is deeply tied to the roots of our traditions. She continues to travel and learn, bridging the gap between modernity and ancestral wisdom, offering her gifts with reverence for the lineage of birth.
In addition, Alejandra is a special friend and our Orgasmic Birth social media Creatrix. She reaches the wisdom of the rebozo in all our doula workshops and is one of our Orgasmic Birth Pracitioners.
