Patty Centeno

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Patty! I am a trained and certified trauma-informed, gender-inclusive full spectrum doula, here to support families of all backgrounds as they prepare for birth, the changes of bringing home a new baby or babies, or their postpartum period. This work is truly my calling. My services include birth plans and birth and labor guidance, prenatal visits and support, birth support, postpartum support, abortion and infant loss support, chestfeeding and breastfeeding doula support, and placenta encapsulation.

I am deeply passionate about helping others advocate for body autonomy and their own rights. My goal is not only that, but also to help every birthing person or new parent prepare mentally and physically for the changes and possibilities ahead.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in letting parents lead, while I educate, guide, and advocate wherever it's needed. This includes topics like basic newborn care, pregnancy and labor comfort measures, basic postpartum care, and helping families establish a strong breastfeeding or chestfeeding journey, offering helpful tips, tricks, and guidance to support their feeding goals.

My areas of expertise also include herbal postpartum care, birth trauma, babywearing, latch issues, sibling preparation, cesarean support, rebozo and faja knowledge, womb care support, VBAC support, and low or oversupply milk concerns.

Overall, my goal is to walk alongside every family with the education, encouragement, and hands-on guidance they need to feel confident in their own unique journey.
