About Me

Hi, I am Silvia! A certified birth and postpartum doula, as well as a childbirth educator and prospective lactation counselor. I am a daughter, sister, wife, and mother with a passion for helping others. I have 20 yrs experience working as a medical assistant in OB/GYN, pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine departments. I have worked in the OB/GYN department for most of my career, I became aware of doula support and childbirth education during this time. It has given me a new perspective on how to help growing families become empowered, supporting families through this work is truly my calling.

As a doula, I provide customized physical, emotional, and educational support tailored to each individual family. As a childbirth educator, I share the information families need to build and reinforce advocacy and informed consent skills. My goal is to help every family build confidence throughout pregnancy, postpartum, and their early parenting journey.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in listening, asking questions, and working together with families to create a plan while discussing every option along the way. I share information relevant to each family's concerns, provide resources, and validate their experience every step of the way. I support both parents during all stages of pregnancy, labor, and birth in whatever way is needed, and I continue that support into the early parenting stage.
Overall, my goal is to personalize every aspect of care to each unique family I have the honor of serving.
