Our Founder
Jasmin, also known as Itzpapalotl (Obsidian Butterfly in Nahuatl), is a Certified Massage Therapist and Full-Spectrum Doula dedicated to honoring traditional knowledge and supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Coming from a large family with many birth stories, she was inspired to step into birth work, beginning as a volunteer doula at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in 2019. This experience solidified her passion for bodywork and perinatal care, leading her to establish Oxomohco Birth & Body Work in 2020—a space rooted in Mexican Traditional Medicine and Indigenous healing practices.
With ancestral roots in Jalisco, Jasmin proudly comes from a lineage of Wixárika (Huichol) people. Her background in traditional Anahuac danza and ceremony informs her approach to healing, ensuring that her work is deeply grounded in culture, connection, and respect for the body’s innate wisdom. She has been walking the Red Road for most of her life and carries this path into her practice.
Jasmin studied Business Administration at Heald College and Massage Therapy at Carrington College. As Oxomohco has grown into a team of trained specialists, she remains committed to ensuring that all families have access to culturally centered care, resources, and support.
At Oxomohco, we believe in community, knowledge, and care that nurtures families at every stage. We look forward to welcoming you into our space.
Why Choose Oxomohco
What Sets Oxomohco Apart?
At Oxomohco Birth & Body Work, our core values guide everything we do and shape the experience we offer our clients. We are proud of the unique space we've created, one that reflects our commitment to holistic care, community, and cultural awareness. Here's what makes us different:
Holistic, Culturally Informed Care
We understand that every pregnancy and postpartum journey is unique. Our approach integrates Mexican Traditional Medicine with modern techniques, honoring the wisdom of our ancestors while offering effective, evidence-based therapies. We are deeply committed to ensuring that families from all walks of life receive culturally competent care rooted in respect and love for each individual’s heritage.
Empowering Clients with Education
We are dedicated to empowering families to make informed, confident decisions about their care. We believe that providing education about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum gives our clients the tools they need to navigate their journeys with clarity and peace of mind. Whether it’s through one-on-one consultations or community events, our goal is to always provide resources that are accessible and empowering.
Community-Centered Approach
At Oxomohco Birth & Body Work, we pride ourselves on being more than just a service provider—we are a part of a larger community of birth and body workers. We believe in creating a network of support where families can find the care they need, whether it’s with us or another trusted provider.
We understand that we are not the right fit for every family, and that’s okay. Every family’s journey is unique, and what works for one may not be the best choice for another. That’s why we have intentionally expanded our community of trusted professionals. If we’re not the best fit for you, we can provide appropriate referrals and recommendations, ensuring that you find the support that’s just right for you. We are committed to helping you feel heard, seen, and cared for, no matter where you seek that support.
Our Annual Maternity Fair
In addition to providing direct care, we also believe in building connections within the community. Each year, we host our Maternity Fair, an event where families can meet and connect with a variety of birth and body workers in our local area. This event gives families the opportunity to explore different services, ask questions, and make informed decisions about their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. We aim to create a space where families can build relationships, share experiences, and find the resources they need to thrive.
Continuous Growth and Education for Our Team
We believe that learning never stops. Our team of therapists, doulas, and specialists regularly participate in training, workshops, and continued education to stay updated on the latest practices in maternity care and massage techniques. This ensures that our clients always receive the best, most effective care possible, from a team that is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
Personalized Care for Every Family
We take the time to truly get to know each family, understanding their unique needs and desires. Whether you are looking for massage services, prenatal care, birth support, or postpartum care, we tailor every aspect of our approach to ensure that you feel heard, understood, and cared for.
Passionate About Supporting Families of All Backgrounds
As an indigenous-run business, we are dedicated to ensuring that families from all walks of life, especially those from underserved communities, have access to the care, support, and resources they need to thrive. This is why we are also passionate about providing services in Spanish and incorporating culturally relevant healing practices into our work.
