📣¡Hola, hermosa familia!📣
Soy Yolanda — Doula, Educadora de Parto, Consultora de Lactancia y Coach Centrada en la Familia, y el corazón detrás de Aware Birth & Beyond.
Antes de que los planes de parto fueran comunes, antes de que se hablara abiertamente sobre la recuperación posparto, y antes de que “apoyo en el cuarto trimestre” fuera parte del vocabulario popular… yo ya estaba acompañando a las familias en este hito transformador con compasión, información basada en evidencia y la firme convicción de que mereces sentirte apoyada, segura y verdaderamente vista.
Si miras hacia atrás, hace más de 8 años, recordarás un tiempo en el que muchas madres y padres estaban luchando en silencio:
✨ Tratando de navegar el embarazo sin una guía real
✨ Sintiendo agobio por las decisiones durante el parto
✨ Deseando tener a alguien que entendiera tanto lo emocional como lo práctico de convertirse en madre o padre
Y justamente por eso nació Aware Birth & Beyond—
Un espacio donde tus preguntas importan, tu voz importa y tu historia de parto importa.
Hoy, esta comunidad ha crecido y se ha convertido en un hogar de confianza para:
• Madres primerizas
• Padres con experiencia
• Padres, parejas y acompañantes
• Cuidadores familiares
• Familias que están creando legado a través de una crianza informada e intencional
¡Acompañarte a encontrar alegría y confianza en momentos tan significativos ilumina mi alma!
Ustedes son la razón por la que sigo aquí, mostrando presencia y apoyo.
Ahora quiero hacerte una pregunta poderosa:
¿Estás lista para sentirte acompañada en uno de los hitos más significativos de tu vida?
⭐️ Para los padres que buscan claridad en lugar de confusión
⭐️ Para las mamás que desean confianza en lugar de miedo
⭐️ Para las parejas que quieren estar presentes de forma plena
⭐️ Para las familias que creen que este nacimiento merece un cuidado intencional y elevado
The Aware Birth Experience está aquí para ti — con educación prenatal, apoyo como doula de parto, acompañamiento posparto y guía en lactancia.
Si estás lista para un apoyo personal, integral y profundamente respetuoso — conectemos.
Tu parto. Tu historia. Tu momento trascendental.
Hagamos que sea una experiencia que recuerdes con fuerza, alegría y orgullo.

📣Hey, beautiful family!📣
I’m Yolanda — Doula, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Supporter, and Family-Centered Coach, and the heart behind Aware Birth & Beyond.
Before birth plans were common, before people talked openly about postpartum recovery, and before “fourth-trimester support” became a mainstream vocabulary word… I was already walking families through this life-changing milestone with compassion, evidence-based care, and a deep belief that you deserve to feel supported, confident, and truly seen.
If you look back 8+ years, you’ll remember a time when so many parents were silently struggling:
✨ Trying to navigate pregnancy without real guidance
✨ Feeling overwhelmed by choices in the birth room
✨ Wishing for someone who understood both the emotional and practical sides of new parenthood
That’s exactly why Aware Birth & Beyond was born—
A space where your questions matter, your voice matters, and your birth story matters.
Fast forward to today, and this community has grown into a trusted home for:
• First-time moms
• Seasoned parents
• Fathers and partners
• Kinship caregivers
• Families building legacy through intentional, informed parenting
Helping you find joy and confidence in the most meaningful moments lights up my soul!
You are the reason I continue to show up.
So here’s the powerful question for you:
Are you ready to feel supported through one of life’s most meaningful milestones?
⭐️ For the parents who want clarity instead of confusion
⭐️ For the mamas who want confidence rather than fear
⭐️ For the partners who want to show up fully
⭐️ For families who believe this birth deserves intentional, elevated care
The Aware Birth Experience is here for you — through childbirth education, birth doula support, postpartum guidance, and breastfeeding care.
If you’re ready for support that feels personal, holistic, and rooted in respect — let’s connect.
Your birth. Your story. Your momentous milestone.
Let’s make it an experience you’ll look back on with strength, joy, and pride.
