I support women in reclaiming their innate body wisdom and give them the confidence to have the birth that they desire.

My name is Elisa. I am a mother of three children (all born at home). I am bilingual (Spanish and English) and a descendant of a strong lineage of Cuban women who used their nurturing abilities to heal and hold our family with nourishing foods and herbs.

As a holistic birth and postpartum doula, I have experienced firsthand the immense beauty of bringing new life into this world. I have had the privilege and honor of supporting families at hundreds of births, witnessing the first meeting between parents and babies, and the birth of families. I am here to walk alongside my clients, offering emotional, physical, informational, and practical support so that this moment is lived with confidence and serenity.

My initiation into birthwork began with the home birth of my first daughter, as I felt the enormity and sacredness of this life transition. I realized that I was not even aware of the amount of care and emotional support that I now know is absolutely necessary for the continued well-being of a new mother in order to thrive during postpartum. After birthing my third child, I began to feel a strong calling to devote my life to supporting the families that are birthing our future generations.

Through my practice, I offer prenatal and postpartum doula services, Mayan abdominal massage, herbal and nutritional support. I have spent the past 25 years studying holistic nutrition, herbology, Ayurveda, focusing on women’s reproductive health through Mexican traditional medicine and apprenticing with indigenous midwives from Guatemala. I am a licensed massage therapist, offering perinatal massage. I offer closing of the bones ceremony (cerrada) for those interested in this form of care. I also teach infant massage to new parents so that they can bond with their baby in this special and sacred way.

I provide unwavering support and guidance as you navigate the transformative phases of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I prioritize empowering you with knowledge and honoring your individual choices, ensuring that you feel confident in making informed decisions aligned with your birthing and postpartum goals.
