Bio

Watching my older sisters transition into motherhood led me to first get interested in pregnancy and birth. I had no idea what a doula was until several years later when I was working with a strong, beautiful pregnant woman who was having a homebirth. My curious mind was eager to learn about the side of birth of which I had no true understanding. Even though my own parents were born at home in Mexico, they, and many like them, couldn't imagine choosing natural homebirth when the marvels of modern western medicine were available. Why would anyone choose to birth as naturally and intervention-free as possible, either at home or in a hospital? I wanted to know. In this learning process, the "I want to be a doula" seed was planted.
