Hi, I'm Sonia ♥

Nice to meet you!

I am so happy to share a little bit about myself with you. I am Salvadoran and I am fluent in English and Spanish. I was born and raised in Southern California, and I am currently living in the Bay Area. I have been providing doula support for over six years and I am honored to support birthing parents during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. I believe the perinatal period is a sacred and transformative time, and that everyone deserves to have informed quality care. In addition to being a doula, I am a midwifery student completing my didactic studies through Midwives College of Utah’s program, and a midwife apprentice completing my clinical hours with local Bay Area community midwives.

When I am not supporting families, I am spending time with my significant other, journaling, listening to music, or spending time outdoors. 

*Hablo Español!*

“I appreciate Sonia, for embodying the peaceful warrior of midwives throughout the ages.

Sturdy, attuned, and believing in birth itself.

Many of us have community birth workers in our lineage and being with you [Sonia] is a reminder of healing and all that is RIGHT.

- A.C

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and childbirth educator through Cornerstone Doula Trainings.

I am also trained in traditional Mesoamerican postpartum practices and postpartum belly binding with elastic bandages.

As your birth companion/doula my goal is to:

  • Provide emotional, physical, and informational support that will help you with the birth and postpartum experience you desire.

  • Hold space for you and remind you of your innate wisdom and strength.

  • Support your birth and postpartum choices and provide information to help achieve them.

I would love to talk with you! Schedule a FREE 20-minute consultation
