I had a wonderful consultation with Mari. She immediately made me feel comfortable, listened to all of my concerns, and provided so much valuable information. I left our meeting feeling supported, confident, and excited for the journey ahead. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering doula services.

Mari created a safe and supportive space where I felt truly heard and respected. Her warmth, patience, and empathy made every interaction feel natural and reassuring. I really appreciated how she could seamlessly switch between English and Spanish, ensuring that every detail was understood not only by me but also by my family. Her strong cultural awareness and sensitivity made me feel seen and cared for on a deeper level. She approaches her work with open-mindedness and understanding, always honoring my unique needs and choices. Her guidance was never pushy—always nurturing, respectful, and encouraging. She gave me confidence and peace of mind in moments that felt overwhelming. I look forward to reaching out again in the future.
