I'm a doula,
and I walk alongside pregnant people and families of all kinds throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My practice is rooted in the gentle use of rebozo (traditional shawl), plant and placental medicine, and yoga, offering care that supports body, mind, and spirit., ofrezco un cuidado de la mente, el cuerpo y el espíritu.
Commitment to diversity
LGBTIQ+ people and single-parent families, as well as anyone who does not find themselves reflected in conventional models, deserve a particularly safe and welcoming space throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
What does a doula do?
Esmeralda
I am Esmeralda, and I hold space for pregnant people and families.
Offering reassurance, advocacy, and gentle support while honoring the ancestral wisdom that guides us and the insights from my own journey, I defend the right to give birth freely and on your own terms, and to parent with dignity, joy, and community, in harmony with the natural rhythms of life. Family is not a fixed model: it is a space of freedom, refuge, and connection. I celebrate all the ways people conceive, care, and exist in the world.

Birth

Estaré disponible 24 horas desde la semana 37 de embarazo para ti y para tu pareja, si la tienes, ofreciendo todo mi apoyo tanto emocional como logístico, durante la dilatación, el parto y el postparto inmediato, cuidando el entorno y ofreciendo propuestas para el manejo del dolor.
Postpartum
Postpartum is a time of deep transformation when the body that has gestated seeks its new balance, emotions fluctuate, and relationships are redefined.
These challenges are signals of growth and deserve attentive care. This stage calls for specialized support that encompasses presence, listening, and gentle care, honoring each experience with tenderness.
Healing and strength
Placental therapy
Handled with care and respect, the placenta can be honored and used in ways that support the birthing person.
It is not simply something to be discarded. It can be used to replenish energy after birth, offering nutrients and supporting the body’s hormonal balance. It can reduce postpartum bleeding, aid uterine contraction, and increase milk production. Amniotic patches made from the placental membrane can serve as a powerful healing resource for both the birthing person and their family.
Movement
Prenatal yoga
Prenatal yoga is a specialized practice that nurtures overall well-being during pregnancy. These sessions provide physical and emotional benefits, with a focus on:
Rituals
Los rituales sacralizan los momentos de una vida y nos inscriben en aquella tradición de la que hacemos parte, que viene antes de nosotras y que también, gracias a nuestra contribución, nos sobrevivirá.
Blessingway
A ritual celebrating the pregnant person’s journey into parenthood.
Surrounded by loved ones, lineage, and wisdom are honored, opening the path to the new stage ahead. This ritual nurtures connection with the body, soul, spirit, and community.
Postpartum care ritual: closing of the bones
A restorative, healing ritual that supports the body’s return to balance and releases tension through touch, warmth, herbal baths, and gentle massage.
In postpartum, it is especially meaningful, offering care for the newborn while celebrating the parent’s journey into parenthood.
