About Maryssa

Above all else, I believe every person deserves care that is aware and inclusive of their values, lifestyle, abilities an environment. I also fully trust that you already know what's best. As a doula, I'm here to provide the individualized support, evidence-based resources, and tools to make navigating all of this a little easier on you. My goal is to empower you to advocate for yourself in order to have the experience that you want. I'm here to meet you wherever you are in each moment. As someone with lived-experience as a biracial individual (second-generation immigrant, Mexican-American) raised in a multicultural & blended family, I'm especially passionate about providing support to those that identify as members of historically resilient communities. I understand that receiving care from someone we feel connected to can be invaluable. I offer a free consultation to provide a space to talk through your unique hopes, fears, and needs so that you feel good about moving forward with me being a part of your support crew. If it doesn't feel like the perfect match, I will do my best to refer you to other available doulas in the area.
