I came to the United States from Cuba when I was nine years old and grew up in Miami, Florida. In 2022, my family moved to Arizona for my husband’s military contract. Leaving home for the first time was incredibly difficult. Arizona felt like a completely new world, and I found myself struggling with loneliness in a way I had never experienced before.

Not long before our move, I had experienced a miscarriage that left me heartbroken. Ever since I was a little girl, I dreamed of becoming a mom, so losing my first baby was devastating in a way no one could have prepared me for. Fast forward to July 2022—I discovered I was pregnant again. I couldn’t believe it. I had prayed so hard for another baby, and when I saw those two lines, my heart was overwhelmed with gratitude.

During those first months of pregnancy, I craved community more than ever. Slowly but surely, God answered my prayers and brought kind, supportive women into my life. Those connections reminded me that even in the most unfamiliar places, I wasn’t truly alone.

My pregnancy became a transformative time in my life. It helped me appreciate my body in ways I never had before and deepened my understanding of the miracle of life. I fell in love with the beauty of pregnancy, birth, and how God so intricately designed women to carry and bring life into the world. I knew I had found my calling.

After becoming a mom and experiencing birth firsthand, I felt a deep pull to serve other women. I realized that being a doula and creating spaces of connection and community were what I was meant to do. But it wasn’t until I began serving mothers that I understood just how much this work would change me.

In 2023, seven months after giving birth, I took a leap of faith and opened an Instagram account, putting my heart out there in hopes of connecting with the right women. I was terrified of failing, of feeling like an imposter in both my doula work and my motherhood photography. But by the grace of God, the right women came into my life. As I started to support moms, it became clear that this was the work I was meant to do.

Being invited into the most vulnerable moments of a woman’s life has changed me in ways I never imagined. Birth has taught me so much about strength, resilience, and how women should be honored and supported during this sacred time.

Offering doula and motherhood photography services feels so natural—it’s an extension of who I am. These roles allow me to walk alongside families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum while also capturing their most meaningful moments. As a stay-at-home mom, this work brings me so much joy and fulfillment.

I believe motherhood is a gift and that society has taught too many lies about these sacred stages of womanhood. I want to help change that narrative. I believe women were made by God with the innate ability to give birth. They are powerful, capable, and intuitive beings who deserve to be honored and respected. Birth is a sacred event—one that can transform us for the better if we allow it.

As a doula, my goal is to meet women exactly where they are. Every mom and every family has unique needs, and I strive to provide support that feels right for them. I also know I’m not the doula for every mom, and that’s okay. True connection and compatibility are incredibly important to me because they are at the heart of this work.

It would be an honor to walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and to capture your most cherished memories along the way. Let’s connect and see if we’re the right fit for this beautiful, sacred journey together.
