I am
honored to be able to educate, inspire and empower you on you
journey through motherhood. I hope you find the same great pride
and joy in being a mother as I do.
With the birth of my first child, Santino, a passion inside of
me was born. I realized the calling I had been searching for. My
passion is childbirth and motherhood. While pregnant with my
second child, Maya, I began on my path towards birthing
empowerment. I started an extensive six month Doula training
course with Loving Hands Maternity Services, upon completion, I
was a certified a Pregnancy, Labor, and Postpartum Doula. I then
went on to complete Miami Dade Community College's Childbirth
Educators course and started teaching Birth Empowerment™.
During the pregnancy of my third child, Gianni, I started a
Holistic Moms Network Chapter in Miami, FL so that the women in
our community would have a "tribe" to turn to when they need
support.
Now I am taking the journey through my 4th pregnancy and believe it is my destiny to educate, empower and give emotional
support to women with pregnancy, labor, postpartum,
breastfeeding and mothering.
My approach is holistic. I believe in the spirit of pregnancy and
motherhood. Every woman has their own intuition and it is my roll
as a Doula to encourage her to follow her natural instincts.
It is also my belief that every woman should be given the
opportunity to give birth in it’s purest form; into loving hands,
in a soothing environment and without drugs or
interventions. Although this is
my
belief, I respect and support the personal decision of the mother
to choose the birthing style that she is most comfortable with.
With the support of my husband Jason, a chiropractic physician,
of the
Marucci
Wellness Center,
I also educate parents about vaccines, nutrition, and wellness.
(Again, we respect the personal decisions of all parents.)
