Maria Gonzalez

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi my name is María, Birth and Postpartum Doula. I support families throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, offering continuous care through prenatal and postpartum visits. I provide respectful and compassionate emotional support, including care for those experiencing miscarriage or stillbirth. I also specialize in helping mothers initiate and maintain breastfeeding, sharing clear, evidence-based information. In addition, I connect families with community resources that strengthen their well-being and social support networks.

My approach is rooted in active listening, respect, and compassionate guidance, so every family feels informed and confident at every stage of their journey. I deeply believe that every person and every birth experience is unique and deserves to be honored with clear information, emotional support, and a judgment-free space. During pregnancy, I offer evidence-based information, emotional support, and a safe space to express doubts, fears, and desires, helping families prepare with confidence. During labor and birth, I provide a continuous, calm, and respectful presence, so mothers feel accompanied, heard, and empowered. I do this without intervening or directing—simply by being present and supportive.

In the postpartum period, my focus is on caring for the caregiver. I offer reassurance, breastfeeding guidance, and support as families adapt to this new stage, acknowledging both the joys and the challenges that may arise. I also provide compassionate care to those experiencing loss, honoring their experiences with sensitivity and respect. My goal is for every family to feel informed, supported, and respected, with access to resources that nurture their well-being. I provide care with empathy, respect, and presence, in both Spanish and English.
