I am passionate in assisting women as a doula and placenta encapsulation preparer. Birth work is sacred and my role is to empower women, to help them feel safe, seen, and understood. Each birth is unique and the birth experience is an expression of that uniqueness.

Eliza has been my doula for my 3 children and she will be my doula for my current pregnancy as well. Through each of my labor/deliveries she has always been very attentive to my needs both physically and emotionally. I keep her on with every baby because she really empowers me through love and guidance and emphasizes my strength and capabilities of bringing my babies into this world! She is a very caring and nurturing soul who makes you feel very entrusted in her care.

Joeley is a Childbirth International Doula graduate. She has always been known to encourage + love people. Afterall, her friends call her their biggest “hype girl!” Her children gave her three different birth experiences: her rainbow baby and second baby were both in a hospital in California and then had her third baby at a birth center in Arizona. When she had her third child at a birth center, she discovered the world of midwives + natural support.

Greetings! My name is Yvonne and I am a full spectrum doula with over four years of experience in providing support and care to individuals during their pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum period. One aspect of my role as a doula that I find particularly rewarding is advocating for the birthing person's wishes and preferences. In addition to my professional experience, I am also a mother and grandmother, which has further enriched my understanding and empathy for the journey of becoming a parent.

Bri was such an amazing asset to my birthing team. She made me feel so comfortable and heard throughout my pregnancy! During delivery, she was there to help manage my pain and take a few pictures as I labored and after birth. She is so caring and attentive. I would recommend her to anyone I know looking for doula services!

I am a educated and experienced birth doula who specializes in birth after loss, and infertility. VBAC, teen pregnancy, cesarean, and home birth experienced.

Having worked with Rachel multiple times as a colleague, I can genuinely say that she is one of the calmest, kindest souls I've met. She is so bubbly and truly excited for every single one of her clients and meets them as friends from day one. She sees herself as the big sister to every mama, and treats the partners with such love and encourages participation. Seeing her with those that have struggled with infertility and welcoming their rainbow always makes me tear up. She truly cares for those she takes on. Her goal is making sure that she never replaces the father and creates a team with all involved. Anyone would be fortunate to have Rachel on their team.

A doula will empower and value you, providing confidence and guidance throughout the journey. I believe in the power of prenatal exercises to help balance your body in preparation for birth. These movements not only prepare you physically but will also be incorporated during labor to help your baby move into the optimal position, making the birthing process smoother for both you and your baby, and preparing you for a better recovery postpartum. ​

I’m here to make you feel empowered, supported, and heard through your journey of birth and postpartum. This is my mission due to my birth and postpartum experiences. I had a traumatic first birth that ended in an emergency c-section. Postpartum Recovery was even more difficult without the support I truly needed. When I was ready to try for a second baby, I miscarried. It took a lot out of me, to get the answers I needed to explain why I miscarried and to find a provider who was going to be safe for me. I knew I wanted a doula and the right birth team that would support me through a VBAC. My team heard me and created space for me to achieve a dream birth!

Meet Arizona licensed midwife Giuliana Pica, the passionate force behind Empowered Goddess Birth. She launched this inspiring venture in 2020, initially as a doula and childbirth education business, all while dreaming of evolving it into a vibrant home birth midwifery practice. In February 2021, Giuliana dove headfirst into her midwifery apprenticeship at a local birth center. There, she immersed herself in the art of midwifery, attending both birth center and home births, while learning from an accomplished array of preceptors—including licensed midwives, certified nurse midwives, and a community-based obstetrician. Fast forward to 2024, Giuliana proudly completed her training and passed both her national certification exam, and state licensing test, officially transforming Empowered Goddess Birth into her dream home birth midwifery practice. Giuliana maintains both CPR and NRP certifications, has attended a breech training workshop hosted by Breech Without Borders, completed a shoulder dystocia training course through Spinning Babies, and has attended 3 midwifery skills workshops hosted by the Midwifery Wisdom Collective. She is passionate about and committed to expanding her knowledge base. In the spring of 2024 she also welcomed earthside her first child, Odin. His home waterbirth was a deeply spiritual and soul nourishing experience. Since then, she’s been savoring every magical moment of motherhood alongside her partner Nicholas, as they embark on this beautiful adventure together. Giuliana believes deeply in the importance of intuitive, empowered healthcare, and is dedicated to supporting women and their families in their unique and transformative journeys, all while bringing a bit of magic and her own intuition to each experience.
