About Me

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Newborn Care Specialist with a passion for supporting families with warmth, education, and practical care. I guide parents through pregnancy, labor, and the early weeks with confidence, calm, and compassion.

My approach is rooted in compassion, education, and faith. I believe families make the best decisions when they feel informed, supported, and seen. I walk with you through pregnancy, birth, and the early weeks with calm guidance, evidence-based care, and practical hands-on support. My approach blends evidence-based knowledge with a deeply personalized touch so every family feels truly seen, supported, and empowered.

My goal is to help you feel confident, safe, and empowered from the first prenatal conversation through the fourth trimester and beyond. Your journey is unique, and I'm honored to walk alongside you every step of the way.
