About Xiomara

Peace and blessings! My name is Xiomara, I am a mother of a beautiful girl. I am from the very small town of Pemberton, located in Southern New Jersey. I take pride and I am inspired by my (Afro Caribbean-Latina) Panamanian roots and culture. I believe in holistic and wholistic healing and practices, and the balance between the two. I am 2x certified full spectrum doula, (through Doula Trainings International and the state of NJ via NJMIHIA), Reiki Master, and Placenta Specialist. I became a doula because of my own birthing experience, which led me to my passion for birth-work. Helping families by educating, advocating, and providing a safe space for a meaningful and purposeful birth. No birth is the same, no pregnancy is the same. However, by providing a safe space, and exceptional services, we can shift the narrative so that more families are aware of birth-workers within and outside of the healthcare system, with a focus on culturally competent care. Our mission at The Purple Purpose LLC is to inspire our clients to become the highest most confident versions of themselves, while embracing their journey, from the beginning until the end. We aim to bring forth a new way to assist families in maintaining their health and wellness, before, during, and after birth. We want to bring a deeper level of holistic and wholistic practice that will allow personal and professional growth, but most importantly, a safe, successful, and purposeful birth .

I had the pleasure of working with Xiomara for prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and truly attentive to the needs of her clients. From the very beginning, she was professional and supportive, helping me create a birth plan that reflected my wishes and values. During labor, she was a strong advocate for me and played a key role in making the experience smooth and empowering. Thanks to her support, I was able to have an unmedicated birth, which was a significantly better experience compared to my first. Her care didn’t stop at birth—she continued to check in during the postpartum period and even recommended excellent services, like a lymphatic drainage massage, that really helped with recovery. She’s very well-connected and a great resource all around. If you’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate doula, Xio is absolutely the one to call.

The birth of our daughter was honestly perfect because of the support Xio provided. From preparation to birth plan to the day of and even check ins after.... We felt so held and loved. She truly puts her heart and soul into supporting in the ways we all needed. I could not recommend Xio enough if you are looking for a knowledgeable, present and steady energy to see you through the birth process.

Xio is simply AMAZING! She provided me with support while I was pregnant. From the very beginning recommending prenatal vitamins, and different teas to try for heartburn and other things I experienced through my pregnancy. She was always a call or text away. I had to be induced at 38 weeks due to gestational hypertension towards the end of my pregnancy which was scary because Xio made me aware of the signs of preeclampsia early on but she reassured me that everything was going to be fine. Since I had to be induced she recommended many comfort measures and resources available to me while in the hospital which was great. After having the baby she recommended many things for breastfeeding and she was there to help me throughout my time with postpartum. Xio is more like family We here happy to have her on our team we love her she takes pride in everything she do !
