My Story

I am following in the footsteps of my Great-Grandmother Ana Petrona, who was the “curandera” (healer) of her village back in our home country Nicaragua, I am honored to now walk in her path.

Since the time I was 18 years old, I knew I found my calling and what I wanted to do with my life, which is to give back to the community and work with our most precious assets: mamas and our youth.  Following my purpose of assisting mothers bring their tiny miracles into this world, I became a doula to help mamas tap into and harness their inner birthing goddess by providing a holistic, sacred birth experience for them.

Connecting with our ancestors, remembering our roots, and practicing our culture are essential parts of the sacred birthing process.  Birth is magical, a beautiful wind of emotions and experiences, both individual and collective. Gathering to support one another together during such times of transformation is how magical “wombmen” have birthed for eternity.   

After birthing and raising my three children at the Jersey Shore, I realized there were no doulas in the area who looked like me or spoke my first language (Spanish).  It also feels like a calling to help fill this void, particularly for my Latina, African-American and Indigenous mamas, as well as members of the LGBTQ+ community. Given my own birthing experiences, as well as assisting my oldest daughter with her pregnancy, I’ve found it’s important for women of color to work with someone who truly understands their needs, addresses their concerns and answers their questions. That is part of why I am so passionate about giving back where I was raised, in Asbury Park, NJ, where I also teach yoga, mindfulness, and meditation to local community members.  

The desire to support and empower women during one of the most transformative and meaningful experiences of their lives: childbirth.
