“Marta was our doula for my first pregnancy. She and Maritza met with us several times during the third trimester (virtually and in person) and offered so much advice, information, and support. In person, they taught various comfort measures for labor and really spent time learning about our preferences so that we could work toward a birth experience where I felt safe and supported. They also checked in on me a lot in the final months which was just so nice, and also a great resource for my questions and uncertainties. During labor Marta couldn’t come for the first 12+ hrs because of hospital policy but was available by phone and txt; once she showed up she was amazing both in constantly finding ways to help make me more comfortable, reminding me to breathe, helping communicate my needs with the medical staff, and suggesting new positions etc for pushing. I am so thankful for Marta and Maritza’s support throughout pregnancy and labor!!”

“I was extremely grateful to have Marta as my doula with my fifth pregnancy. Her support and techniques she offered helped me have a magical, quick, and healthy delivery despite having a failed epidural. She’s kind, patient, laid back, and willing to do whatever needed to have the labor experience you desire. Thank you Marta!!”

“Marta is wonderful. Not only is she a mother of three, but she is kind and gentle, and at the same time strong and spirited. She helped me personally with my first born and went above and beyond for myself and my husband. I cannot recommend her enough. She is simply, the best. ”

Where do I begin with the wonderful Marta!? To start, this birth was my third birth and most important because I was attempting a VBA2C (vaginal birth after a second cesarean). I new I would need a doula to be a part of our support team. I am SO glad that we found Marta. She was super supportive from the beginning and very responsive. When it came time to the labor, she got the hospital before us which was so helpful because I could walk in with her while my husband parked. Once in the room, Marta was prepared for whatever we needed and she asked all the questions we needed to ask when my husband was focused on me. She was reassurance when we needed it and strength when I needed it. She also took pictures of special moments that I wouldn’t have thought to take. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Marta was such a calm, kind and supportive member of our birth team. Both my husband and I felt incredibly cared for by Marta from the moment we started working with her. Marta helped us create a birth plan that clearly reflected our preferences and she answered all of our questions during pregnancy. The position of my baby girl was uncertain during the first month of my third trimester and I had quite a bit of anxiety around it. Marta was very responsive to my questions and checked in with me to share resources for helping babies into the proper position, while also reassuring me that babies know what to do and to trust my body. During our labor Marta navigated relationships with hospital staff professionally and courteously and made sure my voice and preferences were always centered. She also made sure my husband was attentive to his own needs and felt supported. This was our first pregnancy/kiddo, and we’re super grateful that Marta is also incredibly knowledgeable about infant care and breastfeeding. She visited with us when we returned home from the hospital and spent over four hours in our home helping us figure out simple but intimidating to first time parents things like finger nail clipping and bath time. Her post-partum support has been such a blessing and Marta continues to check in on us and our little babe to this day.

I cannot recommend Marta’s services enough. If you’re looking for an intuitive, reliable and nurturing advocate, Marta is the doula for you!
