I was born in Havana, Cuba and I have been living in Orlando, FL since I was 5 years old. I have been passionate about pregnancy and birth since I was very young. The process itself was always fascinating to me. After I graduated high school, I started taking classes in my local community college to eventually enter the Nursing program. I knew from the get go that I wanted to work on the Labor & Delivery floor. Life had different plans for me, however. I became a mom for the first time while I was in college, and eventually had more children. It slowed things down quite a bit for me but I learned so much from my own birth experiences. I have 4 children now; ranging in ages from 17 years old, to 9 years old. My oldest 2 were born via c-section and my youngest 2 were VBACs. It was after my first VBAC, in which I had my own doula, that I realized just how important it is for women to have the proper support. It encouraged me to give back to such a wonderful birth community that had helped and encouraged me to have such a positive birth experience. I knew right then and there that being a doula was the perfect job for me.
I support expectant parents who plan to give birth in hospitals, at birth centers, or even at home. I believe that every parent has the right to choose the environment in which they want to birth, the provider by which it is assisted, as well as who is present at the birth. I believe that every parent should be as informed as possible about their pregnancy, options for birth, and postpartum. I have supported families that have chosen to have a natural unmedicated labor & birth, medicated labor & birth, inductions, c-sections and VBAC. Having the right information and support can help make the difference in how a parent experiences and processes their baby's birth. It would be an honor to support you on your birth journey and welcome your baby!
