BIRTH DOULA /YOGA INSTRUCTOR  HYPNOBIRTHING INSTRUCTOR

As a mama of two, I know first hand the power of birth and the transformative magic that it holds, having been supported by my partner and my doula throughout both. And so, I consider myself fortunate to assist other women during this time in their lives, directing them toward knowledge, reminding them of their body’s innate intelligence, and holding space with them on their journey. I believe that birth is an extraordinary process of becoming that empowers women and families.  

As a doula, I provide emotional and physical support for women throughout the entire pregnancy and delivery process, and work with each family to help them plan and carry out their own unique birth vision, so families have an incredible and awe-inspiring birth experience. How women birth matters, and feeling heard, understood, and supported throughout pregnancy, during labor, and postpartum is essential.  My calm, nurturing, and lighthearted intuitive energy help me attune to each laboring mama I serve. My background in yoga, somatic practices, breath work, and evidence based research all inform my approach to birthing, and my work as a certified doula and HypnoBirthing instructor, allow me to help women have a more peaceful and informed pregnancy and birth.

BIRTH DOULA & POSTPARTUM DOULA | LACTATION CONSULTANT


Being a doula is my passion. I do not feel that I work as a Doula for living, I just am a Doula.And that means that any important situation for women is also important for me, since the most relevant part of a doula's work is to support the mother-to-be in all her emotions in a respectful way, without judgments & very closely. It's also my job to help her dissipate her doubts and fears. I dedicate my time to the mother, creating a special connection between the two of us. Finally and naturally, we become confidants, as friends and sisters ... my role is not to judge the mother, just make her feel like a woman, a Goddess, a creator and a wild mammal. My passion lies in educating women about how incredible they are, the amazing things their bodies are capable of, how to trust their intuition and how to exercise their rights.

POSTPARTUM & BIRTH DOULA LACTATION COUNSELOR

Hello, I’m Jennifer and my experience and love as a birth worker hails from the Country of Australia, a leader in maternal health care. After the awe-inspiring birth of my daughter I became a doula through the Australian Doula College in 2010 and a Calm Birth Practitioner. I’m also a post partum doula- specializing in wound care after circumcision and overnight respite. More recently, I became a Certified Lactation Counselor and on a weekly basis work with families at a tongue tie clinic in Coral Gables; I know the extra breastfeeding support and knowledge in those early days is so helpful.

BIRTH DOULA 

My name is Carla; I was born and raised in Argentina, and that's exactly where my passion for birth was born. 

It was after witnessing the miracle of my brother's birth that I truly understood the power, magic, and strength of women.

As a Birth Doula and Placenta Specialist, my mission is to do everything in my power to make your dream birth come true, whatever that dream birth may be! It truly is that simple.

I  am 100% committed to applying natural ways to coping with pain during  labor. Those methods include breathing techniques, hydrotherapy,  counterpressure, massages,

changing positions, visualization, and meditation among other things.

However,  I fully respect and support women who prefer or are open to undergoing  certain medical interventions during labor and birth, and I am just as  committed to supporting,

encouraging, educa,ting, and protecting those women to the best of my abilities as well.

Oftentimes families underestimate the importance of postpartum care for both the mother and the child.

The  ongoing changes in the mother's body during pregnancy, labor, and birth  are not quite over after the baby is born so it is crucial for women  and families to take postpartum 

care very seriously. This is  why I fell head over heels in love with the unique, ancient, and  powerful effects of placenta consumption.

BIRTH DOULA 

  I  am a wife and mama to my 2 precious little ones. I was formerly an  elementary art teacher until I became a stay at home mom for my littles.  I am now a Doula in training with DONA international and so excited to  support women in the most amazing journey of their life.
      Becoming a mom has been the most incredible gift and being able to grow  these babies in my body is nothing short of a miracle. I had two really  beautiful pregnancies and births. My first was at a hospital, all  natural with hypnobirthing & the support of my husband and doula. My  second was a home birth in the water, again all natural, but I didn't  have much time to use my hypnobirthing techniques seeing as the birth  was a total of 1 and a half hours! I also had the support of my husband,  doula and midwife for the second birth.
     I think that having support during birth is critical to avoid unnecessary interventions. Being  mistreated, ignored, hushed, and misinformed is avoidable. I don't care  if you have a hospital birth, home birth, or birth at a center. I am  not here to make decisions for you. I am here to guide you in your  choices, support you, and give you the resources to make those informed  choices. Let me be your guide and help you to have the most wonderful  birthing experience that you can.
