I was contacted back in October but delayed this written interview because I already knew I needed to write my heart. And I had no time until recently.

Get to know deeper pieces of me through this read. See full written interview through link🙏 (comment for link and I will DM you)

"I always say we are all a walking story with chapters inside of us. Before I get into who I am today and what society might call “success,” I want to share my story or at least pieces of it. I wholeheartedly believe we can’t truly know someone through a screen but through ongoing conversations.

My story starts with my parents, my family, and the upbringing that shaped me into the woman I am today. My parents migrated from Mexico in the ’80s, met, and had their four children in Los Angeles. I happen to be the middle child. From a young age, I strived for the “good grades,” and college was always in the back of my mind. Even in the midst of my environment, I knew I needed to be better and do better for my family and my community.

💫How do you define success?
Success to me is the inner work we do on ourselves first. As someone who has dedicated her life to healing, breaking generational trauma, and doing the deep inner work, success isn’t measured by degrees or appearances. It’s about leading a life rooted in love and living as an example of authenticity.

True success isn’t just lifting yourself up; it’s using your life to serve others, lifting everyone around you, and teaching people to think in new ways we weren’t taught."

You will see some of my favorite pictures:
To my previous coworkers who became friends in L.A County, to my pregnant friends who became client's of mine 😅
To the families I have serviced🙏 & mentor
Thank you!

We are ALL walking stories.

Lactation and ALL feedings is a whole different language.

➡️Why I Chose the Name “Informed Birth and Beyond”

It’s more than just birth — it’s everything. The family unit is where it all begins, and that’s where my heart will always be.

Coming from a background in social work, mental health, and public health, I’ve seen so many gaps in the way families are supported. And over time, I realized one of the biggest issues: families aren’t being given full informed consent.

⚠️Communities put their trust in professionals to provide unbiased, evidence-based education, and too often, that’s not what’s happening. I’m not afraid to call that out, because it matters. Families deserve better.

Even as a professional, I see so many areas we can improve in — and trust me, I’ve got stories for days 🫠.

At the core of everything I do is a deep love for our communities, our families, and our children — because they truly are our future.

What’s hardest to witness is how the systems in place continue to disservice families — and that’s exactly why I do this work.

My mission is simple: to make sure every family I work with is fully informed, so they can make the best decisions for their family, not for a system. 👐

This isn't just about preparing for birth but beyond.
Parent's need to make informed choices from ALL aspects.

I think this is the first picture where you'll find me holding my client's baby🥹(thank you Alicia for capturing this moment ). If it weren't for her this picture wouldn't be here😅

Personally, I do not make it a priority to hold my client's newborn when they are born because it is not about me but them. I don't ask for a family picture with the doula because it's just not me. I was just a tool they've used for their birth✨️

Like my shirt says, "Mother the mother" and how I hold this so dearly. One of the main reasons as to why I decided to major in Social Work, to hold mothers first and families.

It's always an honor to walk alongside my families. But with this particular family, we lasted a little longer together. Her and partner attended the whole childbirth series(an additional 4 sessions)
which was a total of 9 visits.

I always say prenatal education is where its at‼️
And how these amazing parents truly prepared. They were ready, hearing how her partner advocated for her when they were trying to coerced her into getting an induction for no medical reason. I remember her partner sharing how he felt like he had preclampsia by the end of their 41 week and 2 day visit ( although mother was clear with no risks ect)

To Baby Everly's parents, I am just in awe, my 42 week family with the most placenta capsules I have gotten😅 (yes 42 can be normal but your hospital will try to fight you 😅)
You guys are a force🙏

*Instgram tags🧡

Thank you .laugh.nurture for inviting us to be your guest speakers for today's checkin at the and giving us the opportunity to share what is going on in our communities ‼️

The importance of sharing, enlightening and INFORMING our service providers of all the services and resources our families can have👐

Today's highlights:
The role of Social work and community work, providing families with lactation support, informed consent, how medical (insurances) covers doula services and how every two families are not the same. Every family deserves tailored care and this is why is crucial as health care providers to be well rounded in many aspects and topics.

Did you know this NEEDED information? Your average person will not.

Hospitals use your placenta for stem cells and retrieve that amazing blood and use it for regenative medicine, illnesses, cancer patients, and the list goes on....

Your body created life now it’s time to replenish your 4th trimester.
Placenta encapsulation is a sacred postpartum practice rooted in holistic wellness.

🌿Many mothers report increased energy, hormonal balance, reduced postpartum bleeding, enhanced milk supply, and emotional grounding during those early weeks.

FYI:
"Some hospitals still sell placentas in bulk for scientific research, or to cosmetics firms, where they are processed and later plastered on the faces of rich women."

There are some instances where the placenta wouldn't be able to get encapsulated.

➡️Reasons:

I will not encapsulate your placenta if you have smoked during pregnancy, have any sexually transmitted diseases, hepatitis or HIV/Aids.

If you develop a fever during childbirth, I may be unable to encapsulate your placenta due to the risk of infection. We can work with your doctor or midwife to rule infection out to determine if safety.
