Fundraiser Description

Hi friends & community,

I’m raising funds to support my upcoming Hilot training, a traditional Filipino healing practice that focuses on alignment, touch, and whole-body care—especially supportive for pregnancy, postpartum, and recovery.

As a doula, my work has always been rooted in honoring the body’s wisdom, cultural practices, and holistic care. Hilot is a powerful extension of that work. It is an ancestral modality passed down through generations, traditionally used to support:

Pregnancy & postpartum recovery
Pelvic and abdominal alignment
Emotional and physical healing
Whole-body balance

This training will allow me to deepen my skills and offer more culturally grounded, hands-on care to the families I support—especially those who are often underserved by Western medical systems.

What your support helps cover:

Hilot training tuition
Required materials and supplies
Travel and lodging
Time dedicated to study and practice

Every contribution—no matter the size—helps bring this work to life. If you’re not able to donate, sharing this fundraiser is also a huge act of support.

Thank you for believing in ancestral wisdom, community care, and the future of birthwork that is rooted in tradition and healing.

With so much gratitude,
Bethany
The Mango Doula 🥭
