Through Sacred Arrival I help mothers feel supported, informed, and cared for during one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.

Hi, I’m Estefany — a trained doula, medical assistant, physician trained in Obstetrics and Gynecology for 3 years in Venezuela, and nursing student passionate about supporting women and families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My journey into birth work comes from both professional experience and personal understanding. After moving to the United States 10 years ago, I continued serving families in healthcare while following my passion for maternal care. I also became a NICU mom after delivering my daughter prematurely at 29 weeks due to severe preeclampsia, an experience that deeply shaped the way I support and advocate for mothers today. As I continue my education, my long-term goal is to become a midwife and continue empowering women through compassionate, evidence-based, and culturally sensitive care. I believe every family deserves support during one of the most important seasons of their lives. My goal is to help mothers feel informed, supported, empowered, and never alone throughout their journey. I proudly support both English- and Spanish-speaking families.

I have a passion for community assistance ever since I have knowledge. I remember as a little girl helped the elders after school at only 9 years old. As years passed me passion for helping our community grew stronger. So I began my journey in the medical field as a RMA in the OB GYN specialty. I still felt that I can do more for my community and one day in bible study a lady I met called herself a Doula and I asked what is a doula and once she explained to me what a Doula is I immediately looked into it and it was an instant match for me. I was already working with moms and babies but being even more close to my clients and the community was an extraordinary feeling of accomplishment. I got certify as a Doula Business Owner, Lactation consultant, Birth Doula, Holistic nutrition, placenta encapsulation specialist all to be an all in one package for my clients. I strongly believe that it lessens the stress when a doula can carry multiple specialties needed to avoid referring and the client to be seeing multiple appointments in a day. I strongly believed that aliviaron the amount of appointments and be less overwhelming for the clients. I look forward to being your birth doula.

Becoming a doula is a privilege because it allows me to witness the incredible strength and resilience of birthing individuals and families as they meet their new baby. My role is not to dictate the "right" way to give birth, but to be a constant, nonjudgmental source of support and information, ensuring that each family's unique choices are respected and honored. My philosophy is centered on the belief that a positive birth experience is rooted in feeling safe, informed, and empowered. I believe that birth is a powerful, transformational journey, and I am honored to help my clients access their inner strength, advocate for their preferences, and create a birth story that they can look back on with confidence, no matter how it unfolds.

Whether you’re planning a home or hospital birth, preparing for your first baby, or adjusting to life with a newborn, I provide practical guidance, nonjudgmental support, and care centered on your needs. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and cared for—not just during birth, but afterward, too.
