What does a doula actually do?
A doula provides continuous emotional, physical and informational support before, during and after birth. I’m not a medical provider — I don’t replace your doctor or midwife. I complement your medical care by focusing on your comfort, confidence and understanding of what’s happening, every step of the way.
What I bring to your care
Comfort techniques
Light massage, counter pressure, positioning, hip squeezes, Rebozo techniques, breathing techniques, visualization, progressive relaxation and essential oils.
Advocacy & education
Nourishment and hydration, help with informed decision-making, and setting expectations so you always know what’s happening and why.
My boundaries
I don’t offer medical advice or perform clinical tasks. I support conversations with your care team but never make medical decisions for you.
I’m Lina
Birth & postpartum doula · Bilingual EN/ES · Mother of two
My own journey through pregnancy and motherhood sparked a deep passion for supporting others in one of life’s most transformative moments — so no one feels alone, unheard or unsupported on their journey.
Your personalized Birth Wishes plan
Together we complete your own Birth Wishes document — covering the atmosphere you want in the room, labor management preferences, the pushing phase, wishes in case of a cesarean birth, immediate postpartum choices, newborn care, and feeding — so your whole care team knows exactly what matters to you.
What clients say
“Being a first time mom, I was worried about a less than positive birth experience. She made sure I had a positive birth, and my vision was fulfilled.”
Alejandra G.
“She helped me feel safe, calm, and confident, staying with me through every breath, holding my hand, encouraging and inspiring me when I needed it most.”
Alina K.
“Every interaction with Lina felt personal, warm, and supportive, never transactional.”
Thea L.
“Lina was knowledgeable, comforting, supportive, and always available to help. She allowed me to be fully present during such an important moment of our lives.”
Alexander B.
“The second she showed up her warmth helped us immensely… it was well worth it!”
Gabriel B-G.
“I would recommend her a thousand times. Her work is professional, deeply human, and truly transformative.”

Having her as our doula changed labour from something I was very scared of into an actually enjoyable experience.
