I am so happy to share a little bit about myself with you. I am Salvadoran and I am fluent in English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Southern California, and I am currently living in the Bay Area. I have been providing doula support for over seven years and I am honored to support birthing parents during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. I believe the perinatal period is a sacred and transformative time, and that everyone deserves to have informed quality care. In addition to being a doula, I am a midwifery student completing my didactic studies through Midwives College of Utah’s program, and a midwife apprentice completing my clinical hours with local Bay Area community midwives. When I am not supporting families, I am spending time with my significant other, journaling, listening to music, or spending time outdoors. *Hablo Español!* https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e631ccacebb74be49868bd/0a6fe104-cf93-4227-9338-936727d5d8bd/midwifery.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e631ccacebb74be49868bd/1625887646530-HJFAZAO9FR2GBXZTHLJZ/Labor+%26+Birth+Doula+Badge.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e631ccacebb74be49868bd/1625887819605-7KEGNI1L0VC1DNFE91BQ/Postpartum+Doula+Badge.png About - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e631ccacebb74be49868bd/1625704044952-D6I6FBDBPFF7E2DG31CS/IMG_9701.jpg About - As your birth companion/doula my goal is to: Provide emotional, physical, and informational support that will help you with the birth and postpartum experience you desire.
