My journey as a doula began with a mentorship under a partera in California. Individuals from all walks of life came together, united by a shared calling to be part of birth work. I was deeply inspired by the efforts to reintroduce traditional Mexican and Indigenous practices into the birthing space—practices that have faded over time. I felt a strong desire to contribute to the reawakening of holistic methods rooted in my cultural and ancestral heritage. Following the mentorship, I began taking courses to pursue midwifery school but realized I wanted to remain a doula a little longer. And so, here I am!

I was born in Northern New Mexico and raised by a single mother. Witnessing her courage, along with my own life experiences and background, fostered my passion to support and care for parents and families seeking the guidance necessary to optimize the best care for their journey. I have a degree in Psychology and Women’s Studies from the University of New Mexico, which has enriched my understanding of mental health and has reinforced my calling to support parents and advocate for those in my community.

I received my full-spectrum doula training with Shafia Monroe, a midwife in Oregon, as well as through Tewa Women United in Española, New Mexico. This training encompassed prenatal, labor, and postpartum care, along with nutritional and herbal support.

My goal as a doula is to support parents and families during this exciting transition. I am here to answer questions, provide resources, and create a space for parents and family members to adjust to their new life. I prioritize the comfort and well-being of my clients whether it’s spiritual, emotional, or physical. I am overjoyed for you and your journey and I am honored to be part of such a sacred event. 

Outside of birth work, I enjoy baking, cooking, exploring hiking trails with my dog Mia, and traveling. I also cherish time with friends and family, whether we’re sharing a meal or simply catching up over coffee.
