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.

A Postpartum Doula and a Mom:
As a mom of two beautiful humans, and a furry "Bulldoga", I understand the care and support that new families need. It’s not just a new baby being born—it's a new born family.
As your postpartum doula, I’m here to help you feel supported, confident, and cared for as you adjust to this new chapter in your life. My goal is to ensure that you feel nurtured as you heal, adapt, and settle into your new routine.
