Bio

When I moved to New York from Colombia, where I'm from, I quickly realized that maternal health, the birth experience, and the postpartum care here was not at all what I was used to. I expected everyone to receive compassionate, personalized prenatal care, a transformative birth experience full of love and support, and lots of postpartum care. But there was no such thing—my doctors and midwives were amazing, super-knowledgeable and professional, but they were very busy and most of them seemed to always be in a rush. This is when I decided to begin my journey as a support person for my loved ones and their loved ones during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Years later, as I became a mother for the second time, I decided to become a professional doula and make this my lifelong labor of love. Since then, I have trained and certified as a birth and postpartum doula through Doula Trainings International. I have also trained as a lactation counselor through the Center For Breastfeeding and obtained certification through the Academy of Lactation Policy and Practice. I have attended over 150 births as a professional doula and supported over 200 families in their postpartum period and as a lactation counselor. I enjoy supporting people as they learn about the choices that are available to them, and make informed decisions. I love supporting birthing families to achieve THEIR ideal birth and THEIR ideal postpartum experience.
