About.

I feel I was a doula long before I was "working" as one. I was a fierce advocate early on in life, a deeply compassionate person, and someone who showed up when others couldn’t or wouldn’t. My path to becoming a doula wasn’t linear, as my life has been anything but.

I gave birth to a daughter—just the two of us, in perfect unison. Breath to breath, beat to beat, heat to heat. I had just reached between my own legs and helped bring my baby to my chest as I floated in and out of the fever dream that is birth. I knew that if I was capable of THAT, then I was capable of anything. I fell in love with the magic of birth.

I decided I wanted to make the world a more beautiful place, so I carried and birthed two girls for a couple who couldn’t. Being a surrogate was the greatest honor, and it remains one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I believe that women deserve better.

I entered the birth world—a galaxy of intuitive, powerful, and wild experiences. I am a woman who will get down on the floor with another woman, forehead to forehead, eyes to eyes, her fluids on me, and I’ll tell her she can do it. And I mean it. I mean it during birth, and I mean it in postpartum, and I mean it always. I have never believed in anything more than the power of a woman.

Birth is meant to expand us, teach us, break us, and heal us. In that moment, I saw a new version of myself: a warrior of love, a woman of immense power

Fun facts about me…

  • Alejandra is 5—my first creation, my Pisces baby (just like her mama), my wild, brave, funny, and all-feelings girly girl. She’s a social butterfly and the best storyteller.

    Kaya is 2—my second creation, and the gift of my first surrogacy journey. Nara is a newborn—my third creation, and the gift of my second surrogacy journey. Kaya’s little sister, and it was the greatest honor.

    Three girls. Girl power!

  • Lifting heavy at the gym, kicking it up on the indoor soccer field, dancing around with my daughter, hanging out with friends, or diving into something spontaneous—like a new tattoo or piercing.

  • Yes, I speak Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Portuguese being my first!

  • Insecure. It’s hilarious! & I’m obsessed with Issa Rae. If you haven’t watched it, do yourself a favor!
