Asha lerae (she/her)
Language(s): English
Location: Seattle, WA, USA; virtual
Bio
I am an abortion companion who helps people prepare for abortions and provides support after the experience. I work virtually, over the phone, and in person in Seattle, WA at this time. I am also a sex and consent educator, so I can educate about sex after an abortion, contraception, anatomy, how to have conversations about your desires and needs, and more. No question is off-limits. For those that want to foster creativity and growth out of the experience of abortion, even when it’s mired in grief, I am also able to provide emotional and spiritual support from my particular lens as a biracial Black woman, former Christian, and nondual animist. I provide free services/work for donations/barter services.
