Hi, I'm Heather Arauz, founder of My Mamas Doula and proud mama of six amazing children. Each birth was a beautifully different journey that has ultimately led me to my purpose as a doula and aspiring midwife. My passion for birth work stems from a deeply personal space. My six births: • Non-emergency cesarean section • Medicated VBAC at the hospital • Natural VBAC at the hospital • Natural VBAC at the hospital with a midwife • Natural VBAC at a birthing center with a midwife and doula • Natural VBAC homebirth with a midwife and doula From a c-section to a natural VBAC homebirth, I know firsthand how different and how powerful every birth can be. I know the courage it takes to choose a VBAC, to trust your body, and to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't always make it easy. I am also a postpartum depression survivor. I understand the complexity of the weeks and months after birth. I will never minimize what you are feeling. You will always be seen and supported without judgment. My personal mission: Mother the mother, one mama at a time. When a woman feels held, informed, and truly cared for, she will find her own strength. I am here simply to remind you of the power you naturally possess and empower the voice inside you to be your biggest advocate for your body and your baby.

"I can not recommend Jenn (Destiny Doula) enough! After having a c-section with my first born I was determined to have a vbac for my second pregnancy and wanted extra support to ensure that my wishes were heard! I started searching for a doula and after chatting with Jenn on the phone I knew she was a perfect fit. I was concerned for my husband when it came time for labor and delivery wanted to be sure that he was also taken care of so I could remain as calm as possible! Jenn is a saint, she listens and understands to what you’re wanting and she knew what to do to help me through labor when I didn’t even know what I needed. I still remember the calming smell of the essential oil she had misting in my room, the dimming of the lights and quieting the beeping machines. She’s like a Mary Poppins; she rolls in with everything needed and is so reassuring without stepping over your wishes at anytime. After 12 hours and vomiting through labor she was there to welcome our baby girl all while documenting it through pictures that I didn’t even realize were being taken. I cannot thank her enough for empowering me and helping me have the birthing experience I desired.

As a postpartum doula, I am dedicated to supporting families through the critical transition that follows birth. I view the postpartum period as a time that deserves intentional care, where both parent and child benefit from consistent guidance, reassurance, and practical assistance. My role is to provide evidence based support in areas such as infant feeding, soothing strategies, rest, and family adjustment, while also ensuring that parents feel heard, respected, and empowered in their choices. With a background in early childhood education, I bring a solid understanding of child development alongside a deep commitment to family well-being. My philosophy is rooted in holistic care; recognizing the physical, emotional, and relational needs of each family member. I believe that when parents are supported with compassion and knowledge, they are better able to thrive, bond with their baby, and step into their role with confidence. It is an honor to walk alongside families during this meaningful and transformative season.
