About me

Hola y Buen Día || I am Sierra, a Chico Traditional Birth Guide || I support families through a physiology-based, nervous system–aware approach to birth that honors the body’s innate design. My focus is natural birth in any setting. My path into birth work was shaped in part by a background in environmental science, where I learned to observe and trust complex, self-regulating systems. Over time, that way of seeing deepened into a clear calling toward birth — a space where that same respect for the body’s intelligence and design feels deeply alive and meaningful. Over the past eight years of attending births — in both home and hospital settings — I have come to trust the body’s capacity when it is supported with presence, patience, and the right conditions. My role as your birth guide is to offer steady, attuned support, helping you stay connected to your body, your choices, and the unfolding experience of labor. I work in a way that is responsive rather than directive, creating space for your instincts and your physiology to lead. I work with a small number of families at a time, allowing for genuine relationship, continuity of care, and steady presence from pregnancy through the early weeks of postpartum. Families who feel drawn to my work are often seeking a deeper understanding of how their body functions in birth, and a kind of support that respects both the physical and emotional landscape of the experience. Whether you are preparing for your first birth or integrating previous experiences, I meet you where you are with care, clarity, and respect.

Service introduction

I offer full-spectrum birth support that encompasses pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, a continuous, relationship-based approach that meets you as a whole person. Our work together includes a blend of in-person sessions and ongoing virtual support, so you are never navigating this experience alone. You have consistent access to me for guidance, questions, and integration as things unfold. In pregnancy, we focus on preparing your body, deepening your understanding of birth physiology, and supporting you in making clear, informed decisions. This includes body-based practices, birth planning, and space to explore the emotional and relational aspects of this time. You’ll have on-call support for labor and birth, with steady, responsive presence as you move through each phase. Postpartum care continues this energy, supporting your recovery, nourishment, breastfeeding, newborn care, and the integration of your birth experience. This work is custom to each woman. Our container is shaped around your needs, your environment, and how you want to move through this transition. Women often share that they feel more grounded, less overwhelmed, and more connected to their body and instincts with a deeper trust in their ability to navigate birth and motherhood in their own way.
