Maria Padilla

About me

I'm a Latina doula, born and raised in NYC, trained through Mama Glow. I offer culturally responsive, full-spectrum support for families of every background, honoring the traditions you bring to your birth. I became a doula after seeing how many mothers go through their most vulnerable moments without real support.

Service introduction

My care blends evidence-based education with emotional presence: helping you understand your options and advocate for yourself in pregnancy, grounding you with continuous support in labor, and supporting your recovery and bonding postpartum. I also offer abortion support, bereavement care for pregnancy and infant loss, sibling support at the birth, education and connection to resources, maternity photography, and virtual support for remote and rural families.
