 Maya Hernandez

I am a mom, a holistic birth doula, and a certified lactation counselor. I also proudly serve Spanish-speaking families en español!

My commitment to you as a doula is to guide you with compassion, warmth, and integrity in this special time, supporting your natural instincts as you prepare for your birth and life with a newborn.

I have a deep respect for the ability of women to birth intuitively when they feel safe, loved and calm. My practice combines a rational, evidenced-based approach to birthing with a holistic focus on the body-mind connection.

I am also passionate about mental health and am a trained Havening Practitioner. Havening serves to clear past trauma, alleviate stress, and build resilience so that pregnant people can move through labor and motherhood in the healthiest emotional state possible

I’m a mom to 2 boys, birth and postpartum doula, and lactation counselor. I also proudly serve the Spanish-speaking families en español!

I believe that every family deserves to have a fulfilling birth experience that they can cherish forever. I have become an enthusiastic advocate for families to make informed choices through the provision of evidence-based information. I believe that this is the foundation for families to be able to feel good about their birth choices. 

Realizing that there is an enormous gap in care during the early postpartum period, I am especially passionate about supporting and nurturing families during their transition to parenthood or as their family grows. I love encouraging new parents to follow their instincts as they get to know their new baby.

I am a mom, a holistic birth and postpartum doula and a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker proudly offering families my services en español.

I believe that every family deserves evidence-based resources to make informed decisions in their childbearing years and for parenting. I am committed and dedicated to provide support, love and hold space for all persons growing their families.

I believe that my clients are the experts. I am here to witness their strength into parenthood; and to protect and encourage their intuition to follow the guidance of their bodies. It is an honor to work with families during their most intimate and sacred journey of their lives.

 

Milta Lee Terrero

I’m a mom, holistic birth and postpartum doula with an advanced lactation training. I also create natural skincare and wellness products using the traditional herbal teachings from my elders. I also proudly offer my services in Spanish!

Through my personal experience, I saw a specific need for extra support in the postpartum period and had a desire to fill that gap. I believe in providing care that will allow you, as the new parent to heal and truly thrive.

My goal as your doula is to support and empower you and your family through emotional, educational, physical & nourishing support all while creating awareness of your strengths and confidence in your body’s ability.

I believe that birth is an incredible and intimate rite of passage and one that is unique to every family. I hope through working together I am able to provide a sense of safety, security and confidence.
