Birth Doula Profile

My background is multi-layered and multi-cultural. A former print and online editor from Venezuela, the birth of my daughter sparked my passion for being a birth advocate.
I have been a birth doula since 2007, and host of the acclaimed Birthful podcast since 2014.
I am a certified advanced birth doula, postpartum educator, healthy sleep consultant, speaker, and author.
Aside from having the immense privilege of talking to and learning from a multitude of maternity professionals on the podcast, I have additional training in Spinning Babies, rebozo, acupressure for birth and postpartum, and pregnancy loss.
I hold birth doula certifications from both DONA International and The Matrona, and teach advanced doula workshops around the country.
