Born and raised in the home of Spanglish and cafecitos! Coming from such a vibrant city as Miami, Florida, my penchant for capturing life’s greatest moments started at an early age. My theater background highly contributed to an ever-growing love for the arts and a desire to connect with people. Many of my experiences have allowed me to genuinely understand how powerful imagery can be and what kind of effect it can have on both its subjects and audience. I take the role of capturing and protecting memories very seriously and I possess a strong appreciation for the extraordinary, I strive for it in all I do—whether that’s turning fleeting moments into everlasting memories or finding my current city’s best slice of pizza while traveling.

Being a mother of two, I realize how crucial professional care during pregnancy, birth and postpartum period is. I have been a Doua for more than 14 years. My goal and philosophy is that every mother feels grounded, nourished, empowered and ready to take on motherhood. They are best able to do so with enough knowledge as labor progresses on its own. I make sure that each woman that works with me is receiving physical and mental care, both before and after birth, evidence based Knowledge to make inform decisions. I love to bring my background and training from different cultures . I am passionate about and committed to safety guiding and supporting families throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum period. My goal is to serve my community through education, encourage them to have the birth experience they deserve. I work as one, nurturing women, I believe that creating a solid/united team we can make a big impact in way of birth in our community.
