About me

Hello families! My name is Maria and I am a new doula working towards my DONA certification and I can't wait to be apart of your birth team! As your doula, I offer compassionate and personalized support to ensure you feel empowered and cared for throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. With a deep commitment to your physical comfort and emotional well-being, I provide evidence-based information, continuous encouragement, and hands-on techniques to make your experience as smooth and positive as possible. Whether you desire a medicated or unmedicated birth, I respect your choices and advocate for your needs, helping you navigate the process with confidence. My goal is to create a calming presence, foster a sense of control, and support both you and your partner every step of the way. By choosing me as your doula, you gain a dedicated, nurturing guide who is fully invested in your birth experience and early parenthood transition. The philosophy of birth doula care is rooted in the belief that childbirth is a transformative experience that deserves respect, support, and informed decision-making.
