About me

I'm so excited to join you on this new journey of bringing a special one into your family and the World! My name is SoNia and I would love to be your Doula for pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I have worked in educating young minds for the past 20 years and I want to impact maternal health by educating birthing mothers and assisting families in welcoming baby (or babies) home. I firmly believe in the power of education to alleviate anxiety and empower mothers and families. By providing comprehensive information about pregnancy and birthwork, I aim to assist families with the knowledge and resources they need to navigate their childbirth journey with confidence and autonomy. I’m especially excited with working with BIPOC ( Black / Indigenous People of Color) birthing families and share resources that may make this journey cost effective and assist me in growing as a Doula. If interested please contact me.
