About Diana

A calling that has been nurtured for 32 years. I began my career with children as a teenage babysitter. I have been fascinated by child development since I was little more than a child myself. Arriving in the USA in 1991 from Barranquilla, Colombia I was immediately employed by Universal Studios Child Care Center. This experience offered a wide range of infants to care for and deepened my desire to advance in my calling as a childcare specialist. It was in my interactions with various parents that I soon realized how what came naturally to me was frightening to some. In a very short time, parents were asking me to provide services outside of the care center. I was helping with establishing baby sleep schedules, nighttime care and creating baby routines for families. In 1998 I had met my birthing doula trainer and mentor Carmen of Gyntle Touch Birth. At Carmen’s recommendation I also became a certified massage therapist from Touch Therapy Institute. Immediately I offered my time as a birthing and prenatal doula to help low-income unwed mothers. This was my way of giving back in gratitude of my being able to pursue my life’s purpose and obtain a vast amount of experience with a diverse group of mothers. Over the last 32 years I have worked with hundreds of families, from birthing babies, preparing hospital care routines and directives, setting up nursery supplies, prenatal doula, lactation coach, night care, postpartum care, pregnancy and baby massage. Along the way I married and was blessed to deliver my own two children, with my mentor Carmen presiding as my birthing doula. A not so well-kept secret is that my husband and I are gourmet chefs, an additional service many families are excited to have made available to them. I consider myself truly blessed in that I am able to share in the most important part of a family. Incredibly, many of the children I have had a hand in raising continue to contact me throughout their life. I have had the wonderfully good fortune to attend many, confirmations, bar & bat mitzvahs, graduations from elementary, Jr. High, High School, College and recently my first Graduate school ceremony. I respect privacy and discretion, am able to travel, provide meal preparation and offer household management services.

We found Diana through Doulas of OC. She served as our birth doula as well as a postpartum night doula. During the interview, I immediately felt like she'd be a great fit for our family. As a first time mom I wanted someone with lots of experience and Diana came with so much! She came to the house for several prenatal visits to go over my birth preferences as well as provide education, and help prepare me - mentally and physically. She was so helpful in days leading up to delivery when I had questions I could text her or call her. Once my water broke she quickly came to the hospital and was with us until we were ready to go down to the Mother a baby unit. She was another set of ears and eyes during my birth that was amazing to have for me and my partner. Postpartum night visits were incredibly valuable. For helping ensure that my daughter was latching properly, to grabbing me snacks from the fridge in the middle of the night. She was amazing. And our baby now sleeps through the night which she started to do almost by 1 mo; I credit Diana for a lot of the legwork that helped our daughter gain the skills to do that. And she remains in touch which is wonderful. If we have a second baby, Diana will be on speed dial again. If you are able to use Diana you will not be disappointed.

We knew that we wanted an experienced doula for our first child, and Diana was the right guide for us. From our first phone call to delivery day (and even after), Diana shared her techniques, anecdotes, and wisdom from throughout her years. Within what was our control, giving birth to our son went as smoothly as it could have.

There are not enough words to express what a godsend Diana is. We credit so much of our survival in the newborn days to Diana - I think it is to her credit that we were able to even enjoy those early days. She supported us in countless ways - treating us like family and pouring so much energy and life into us. From the day we met Diana in my third trimester, my anxiety over bringing home a newborn for the first time was put at ease. Diana shows up with such a strong, calming, warm, and fun presence, I knew the three of us would be in good hands from the start. Diana showed up the same night we returned from the hospital, and she worked tirelessly to ensure we were all taken care of. I felt so comfortable having her take care of our new baby, and she made sure to support me in my postpartum healing and breastfeeding as well. Over the next couple months, she gave so much to us. The ability to sleep through many nights, her wealth of baby knowledge, she helped set us up with routines that have helped us have a thriving, sleeping baby to this day, she brought joy into our home with her stories and energy...we were devastated when our time with her came to an end. Diana is truly the best, and we look forward to having her back with our next child!
