Marlene Ariza

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I’m Marlene, the heart behind Wild Womb Birth Co.
I’m a wife, mother of three, and birth doula who wholeheartedly believes that birth is one of the most transformative experiences in a woman’s life. After the empowering home births of my own three children, I felt God calling me into birth work. Motherhood changed me forever, and it awakened a passion to walk alongside other women as they step into one of life’s most sacred seasons.
The women I serve often tell me I don’t feel like “just a doula.” I care deeply. I celebrate your victories, sit with you through the hard moments, pray for you before every visit and every birth, and advocate for the experience you hope for. I want you to feel like you have someone in your corner who believes in you, even on the days you struggle to believe in yourself.
For me, birth work is more than a career—it’s a calling from God. Every family I serve is someone I believe He intentionally placed in my path, and it is one of the greatest honors of my life to walk beside you as you welcome your baby.

Practice Philosophy

I believe women were beautifully created to bring life into this world. Birth is a natural process, and when it’s safe to do so, our bodies often work best when they’re trusted, supported, and allowed to unfold without unnecessary interference. My role isn’t to take over your birth—it’s to protect your space, provide evidence-based education, offer steady support, and help you feel confident making decisions that are right for you.
Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth center birth, or hospital birth, I’ll meet you exactly where you are. I deeply respect every family’s values, preferences, and vision for birth. My hope is that you walk away feeling informed, supported, and proud of the way you brought your baby into the world—no matter how your story unfolds.
My goal is simple: that you enter motherhood feeling seen, respected, empowered, and deeply supported, knowing you were never meant to do this alone.
