Hello, my name is Sofia, and I’m a proud mama to a beautiful child, Luna. I'm passionate about mindfulness practices that help me connect with who I truly am, allowing me to see beyond societal conditioning. My own pregnancy and birth sparked a deep passion for the journey of becoming a Doula. I believe in the power of birthing people and the importance of support throughout this sacred process. I guide my clients with mindfulness and embodiment practices, helping them discover a path that feels right for them. I’m deeply devoted to serving parents, providing a healing space that is free of judgment and full of compassion. I am a certified 500-hour yoga teacher, deeply devoted to both teaching and learning. I believe in practicing what I teach, and I never guide others in anything I haven’t personally practiced and embodied for at least a year. I trained as a doula with The Circle Family Center and have been supporting pregnant and postpartum bodies. As someone who has experienced living in a pregnant and postpartum body, I bring both personal insight and professional expertise to my work.
