Hey ya'll, I'm Eli, The Gender Doula!
I help folks question, explore, or trans their gender. I've been doing this since January of 2020, and I work with folks all over the globe.
I have a lot of cool offerings - breathwork, workshops, classes, and 1:1 work.

🤔 I’m interested in top surgery…what do I do?
😞 I don’t see my identity reflected around me. How do I process this grief?
🕊️ How can I connect to spirituality as a trans person?

It's about to be the first of two New Moons in Virgo. Two #Virgo New Moons during a #Tarot Hermit year is significant. Tune out the noise, listen to your body. Virgo is an Earth sign. Mercurial yes, but still an Earth sign. Reality is tangible but not fixed. Whatcha gonna do with a flexible reality?

What I love most about long-form tarot readings is the opportunity to feel into the story that the cards are telling...pulling on various threads but making sure to also weave the tapestry such that the querent received the medicine they need.

Anywho, many things in my life shifted when I realized that so much of what I assumed I "should just know" how to do were actually skill sets that no one had yet taken the time to teach me.
After I left my abusive relationship, I learned that "being okay" was actually a skill set. (1/7)

So earlier this year I danced with death more intimately than I have in awhile. It was unexpected, in that my surgery was "totally routine" and "the easiest abdominal surgery" and etc.
But while I laid in a hospital bed with ice cold blood dripping into my arm, I remember thinking...

Today is both exciting, generating, fascinating, AND maddening, frustrating, and shitty.

For all of my classes and workshops, I offer scholarships. This is because 1) I want my classes to be financially accessible and 2) I have benefitted from receiving many scholarships, and have used them for most of my education, traditional and non.
But I do things a little different. Here's why.
