About Mari

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.

Birth & Postpartum Doula services

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.

Working with Mari was one of the best parts of my birthing experience. This was my second pregnancy. Mari's support, knowledge, and guidance all while being by my side at every appointment and my induction is what made this birth feel so much calmer than my first. I'm not someone who's comfortable asking for help, but Mari made that easy. She reminded me that even though I went through this before, it's never too late to have a team of support. She also reminded me that there's still so much we are not always informed on when it comes to our bodies. I appreciate the time and effort she poured into getting to know what my needs were because these were things no one bothered to ask me during my first pregnancy. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a compassionate, supportive doula.
