A Little About Me 💛
I'm Maribell, a proud mom of two wonderful boys, a wife of 12 years, and a passionate birth professional.
I moved from Perú to the United States, beginning a beautiful new chapter in my life. During those early years, I devoted myself to raising my boys, learning English, embracing a new culture, and building a home for my family.
Before moving to the United States, I trained and worked as a midwife in Perú, supporting mothers and babies in both hospitals and private practice. My passion for maternal care has remained close to my heart, and here in Central Florida, I have continued that calling as a doula, childbirth educator, and birth assistant at planned home births.
Throughout my journey, I have intentionally pursued specialized certifications and training in physiologic birth, optimal fetal positioning, body mechanics, breastfeeding support, and postpartum wellness. I believe learning never ends, and my goal is to continue growing so I can offer families compassionate, knowledgeable, and evidence-informed support.
With approximately 15 years of experience in maternal care, including nearly five years supporting families in Central Florida, I've learned that every pregnancy, every birth, and every family's story is beautifully unique.
As both a mother and a birth professional, I understand how meaningful it is to feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely supported during this transformative season of life.
Through Chaska Midwifery & Wellness, my heart is to walk alongside you, helping you discover your strength, build confidence, and prepare to welcome your baby with love and trust.
I would love to meet you, hear your story, and explore how I can support you and your growing family. ✨
With love,
Maribell Opperman
