Who is Mariposa Doula Care?

Welcome to Mariposa Doula Care, where your journey is my passion. As a birth and postpartum doula, I am honored to share my story with you. My commitment to supporting and empowering families during the transformative experience of childbirth is deeply rooted in my own origin story.

I am originally from Laredo, Texas, a city on the Texas-Mexico border. Raised in Mexican-American upbringings, I grew up speaking Spanish and enjoyed the beauty of Latin culture. I moved to New York City in 2009 and now reside in the suburbs, Peekskill, NY.

My birth and postpartum doula journey began during 2022 when I recognized the need for comprehensive, inclusive and compassionate support for expectant parents. Drawing from my personal birth experience as a woman of color, a mother and extensive knowledge as a certified birth doula, I set out to create a space that celebrates the beauty and strength of childbirth. Thus, Mariposa Doula Care was born.

As the heart and soul of Mariposa Doula Care, I am dedicated to helping all families navigate every step of their journey. I understand the unique challenges and emotions that can arise during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I strive to empower parents with knowledge, confidence, and a nurturing presence. I bring a diverse range of skills and expertise in various aspects of childbirth support. Whether it's prenatal education, labor companionship, breastfeeding guidance, or postpartum care, I possess the experience needed to ensure that families receive personalized and holistic care throughout their entire journey.

I aim to provide doula care to all families, all backgrounds including but not limited to: BIPOC, single parents, LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent families.

In love and support,
Mariposa Doula Care
