My approach: IT'S ALL ABOUT TRUST
Hi, I’m Ana. I’m passionate about helping families thrive through nurturing care, or “apapachos" (in Spanish, my mother tongue). I offer compassionate, supportive guidance while respecting your choices and keeping you informed, through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I also handcraft keepsake jewelry to honor your journey and your loved ones. Whether you need prenatal preparation, postpartum support, a mama friend, or a keepsake to celebrate your story, I’m here for you every step of the way.
Con cariño,
Ana.
PS: I offer my services in English, Spanish, or French.

Things to know about the keepsakes:
-
🤍 Can I wear my keepsakes daily?
Keepsake jewelry can be worn daily, but solid 14K/18K gold is the most durable option.
Silver and plated pieces may tarnish or lose their plating over time, and the keepsake stones can scratch with frequent wear.
Follow the care instructions included with your order to help your jewelry last longer.
-
🤍 Turnaround time
Orders typically take 3–4 weeks from the date of purchase.
Each keepsake piece is one-of-a-kind, so returns aren’t possible. However, if your inclusions are lost in the mail or an unforeseen issue beyond my control occurs, I’m happy to work with you to find a solution that works for both of us. -
