Hello My name is Marlene Solorio I fully and wholeheartedly trust that you can give birth naturally, because GOD designed women and babies to work together during birth. You are a powerful human and GOD designed you perfectly. So deep down inside you know exactly what to do. I love helping moms find the confidence to birth autonomously through education and empowerment. After my 3 unnecessary cesareans, I decided to become a doula. When I found out I was pregnant with my 4th I told myself I was going to have a natural birth, even though every doctor and midwife in my area told me I couldn't. And boy did I prove them wrong with my VBA3C. So that's why I'm here, I want to help you have a beautiful empowering birth like I did. I know it's possible because I just did it!

My name is Nikki Avila and I have been providing support for pregnant mamas and surrogacy carriers or IP’s for a few years. I am passionate about providing support, education and advocacy to those on their journey through motherhood or surrogacy. My love for birth work is huge, my heart ignites knowing you are looking for support through your birthing journey, thank you for coming to my page! So excited you landed here. In birth work there is a continual growth and sharpening of how we can be a better support to our Mama’s that we care for, in 2018, I felt called to increase my love for birth work by enrolling in doula training with a few doula organizations. I studied in both Birth and Postpartum work, I searched for a doula training that was well rounded in diversity and inclusion and continual support even after certification. As a doula, I felt as I lacked something in what I was offering and went back to one of my first births that I attended and remembered how this Mama enjoyed her birthing time and it was such a healing and rewarding experience, not just for the Mama, but us, her birth team. She was calm, and so in tune with her body, her focus was not on pain, but in a more comfortable birth, I remember asking her about the program she did and she said it was Hypnobabies, I did some research and found out that they had a training coming up and I applied to their Childbirth Instructor program and after 40 hours of in person training I became certified as a Hypnobabies Childbirth Instructor and Hypno-Doula in 2021. This program has shifted the way I support others through their journey, it has helped me change the way I view birth, and the power of language, I’d love to share with you how birth can be much more enjoyable. Through Hypnobabies, you’ll discover your innate power to birth with clarity and empowerment! You will feel much more prepared and comfortable and determined to birth in a peaceful environment, this educational program is packed with 18 hours of evidence based research and deep hypnosis for those wanting to experience a much more calm and peacful experience for their Childbirth Journey. The one thing I truly believe is the only way Hypnobabies can work for you, is if you put in the work, your daily homework and track listening is so vital to your experience and birth. I offer consultations to see if Hypnobabies is right for you? If Hypnobabies if not something you want, I also instruct other courses that may be more suitable for your journey as no two birth paths are alike, you will still have a path to evidence based information and a path that is right for your birthing journey. If you would like a FREE consultation, please contact me and I would be happy to set a date and time with you and your support person.
