Doulas suggest different positions in labor and delivery to encourage baby to descend and the cervix to dilate this has been proven to decrease time in labor

Refer you to specialists for unique challenges you may face

My Miracle Baby
I became a mom in 2017. My first pregnancy I was with a low-risk doctors’ clinic in South Calgary that delivered at South Health Campus. That clinic rotated between 10 doctors. Later I got transferred to an OB after some preterm labor at 32 weeks. It was very scary, and I felt so unprepared. I wish I’d had someone there to ask my questions and support me besides my husband.
My little miracle boy was later born at 39 weeks! The newborn phase dragged on with every minute feeling like an hour and the hours feeling like days. I was terribly isolated and alone.
Little did I know that I was dealing with postpartum stress syndrome and depression. My symptoms were mild compared to many, but mental health problems are always difficult. So I make it a point to try and check in and watch for signs of anxiety and depression throughout our postpartum relationship.
My Water Birth
The birth of my second baby was so different. I was with the Honeycomb Midwives this time in central Calgary and had no complications. I gave birth in the water at the Arbour Birth Center and got to sleep in my bed that night.
I had a better idea how to prepare for the newborn phase and it was bliss. However, even with a positive birth experience, I developed postpartum anxiety around 6 months due to a stressful move. I reached out to a counselor right away and was feeling more like myself within a month or two.
The knowledge I gained about postpartum mental health really made a difference in my life. I know that educating yourself about birth can completely change your birthing experience as well as your postpartum experience. And reaching out for help right away is the best thing to do at the first sign of distress.
Making a Difference
While preparing to give birth to my second, I decided I wanted to become a doula, someone who could support others during such a critical time in their lives. It was a way that I knew I could make a difference.
So, at 4 months postpartum, I took the DONA doula course with Suzanne Moquin in Edmonton. Then my doula journey began at 7 months postpartum, when I helped 2 friends become mothers.
I serve both English and Spanish speaking clients as a birth doula.
I also offer online prenatal classes in Spanish. See here for my prices.
I certified with DONA International in 2021 and I attended the Spinning Babies workshop for birth professionals in 2022. I took the Birth Boot Camp childbirth education course in 2023.
I am so passionate about empowering women to believe in themselves and see their incredible worth. Birth may be the most difficult thing you will ever do. So hire a doula today!
My Philosophy On Birth
While birth can be unpredictable, the possibilities are not endless. When you are educated about your options, you can make informed decisions.
I believe that birthing instinctually is the best! And you should listen to your body, but if you are unsure or would like some guidance, I can suggest intentional positions to help make space for baby to enter and pass through the birth canal which helps labor to continually progress. These suggestions are based on baby’s location and can be modified to accommodate reduced mobility related to epidurals when necessary.
Birthing instinctually and with intention are the secrets to avoiding increased interventions in labor and birth.
With the right preparation, I believe every woman can have a medication free labor if they choose, but I understand that not everyone will decide that is what they want. If you decide a physiological/med free birth is what you want, I support you with comfort techniques and tools to help you “ride the waves” and birth your baby your way.
If you decide to use an epidural or other medication for pain relief, I support you by suggesting positions.
However you decide to birth, my goal is that you will be fully informed about your options, through prenatal education. I want you to feel empowered to make the decision you feel is best for you and your family, regardless of anyone else’s opinions.

Mi bebe un milagro
Me convertí en mamá en 2017. Mi primer embarazo fue en una clínica de médicos de bajo riesgo en el sur de Calgary que atendía partos en el hospital se llama South Health Campus. Esa clínica rotaba entre 10 médicos.
Más tarde me transfirieron a una obstetra después de contracciones prematuras a las 32 semanas. Me dio mucho miedo y me sentí muy poco preparada. Ojalá hubiera tenido a alguien ahí para hacerme preguntas y apoyarme, aparte de mi esposo.
Mi pequeño milagro nació a las 39 semanas. La fase neonatal se alargaba, cada minuto parecía una hora y las horas parecían días. Estaba terriblemente aislada y sola.
No sabía que me enfrentaba al síndrome de estrés postparto y de la depresión. Mis síntomas eran leves en comparación con muchos, pero los problemas de salud mental siempre son difíciles. Así que me propongo intentar chequear y vigilar los signos de ansiedad y depresión a lo largo de nuestra relación posparto.
Mi parto en el agua
El nacimiento de mi segundo bebé fue muy diferente. Esta vez estuve con las matronas de Honeycomb en el centro de Calgary y no tuve ninguna complicación. Di a luz en el agua en el Arbour Birth Center y pude dormir en mi cama la misma noche.
Tenía idea más clara de cómo prepararme para la fase neonatal y fue una goza. Sin embargo, incluso con una experiencia de parto positiva, desarrollé ansiedad posparto alrededor de los 6 meses cuando nos mudamos a nueva casa. Me causado mucho estrés. Llamé a un consejero de inmediato y en uno o dos meses ya me sentía más yo misma.
Los conocimientos que adquirí sobre la salud mental posparto realmente marcaron una diferencia en mi vida. Sé que informarse sobre el parto puede cambiar por completo la experiencia del parto y el posparto. Y pedir ayuda de inmediato es lo mejor que se puede hacer al primer síntoma de angustia.
Marcar la diferencia
Mientras me preparaba para dar a luz a mi segundo hijo, decidí que quería ser doula, alguien que pudiera ayudar a los demás en un momento tan crítico de sus vidas. Sabía que podía marcar la diferencia.
Así que, a los 4 meses de posparto, hice el curso de doula con DONA con Suzanne Moquin en Edmonton. Entonces mi viaje como doula comenzó a los 7 meses posparto, cuando ayudé a 2 amigas a ser madres.
Atiendo a clientes que habla ingles y español como una doula de parto.
También ofresco clases prenatales en línea en español. Consulte aquí la lista completa de mis precios.
Me certifiqué con DONA Internacional en 2021 y asistí al taller Spinning Babies para profesionales del parto en 2022. Hice el curso de preparación al parto con Birth Boot Camp en 2023.
Soy apasionada de empoderar a las mujeres para que creyeran en sí mismas y vieran su increíble valía. El parto puede ser lo más difícil cosa que hagas en tu vida. Contrata una doula hoy!
Mi filosofía sobre el parto
Aunque el parto puede ser imprevisible, las posibilidades no son infinitas. Si conoce bien sus opciones, podrá tomar decisiones informadas.
Creo que parir instintivamente es lo mejor! Y debe escuchar a su cuerpo, pero si se gusta, puedo sugerirte posturas intencionadas para ayudar a crear más espacio para que el bebé entre y pase por el canal del parto. Se ayudo que el trabajo de parto continua progresando.
Estas sugerencias se basan en la ubicación del bebé y pueden estar modificado para la movilidad reducida relacionada con la epidural cuando sea necesario.
Parir instintivamente y con intención son los secretos para evitar el aumento de intervenciones durante el trabajo parto y el nacimiento.
Con la preparación adecuada, creo que todas las mujeres pueden tener un parto sin medicación si desean, pero entiendo que no todas decidan tomar esta ruta. Si decides que quieres un parto fisiológico/sin medicación, te apoyo con técnicas de confort y herramientas para ayudarte a “subir las olas” y dar a luz a tu bebé en tu poder.
Si decides utilizar la epidural u otra medicación para aliviar el dolor, te apoyo con diferentes posiciones.
Cualquier ruta que decidas dar a luz a tu bebe, mi objetivo es que estés plenamente informada sobre tus opciones, a través de la educación prenatal. Quiero que te sientas capacitada para tomar la decisión que consideres mejor para ti y tu familia, independientemente de las opiniones de los demás.
