About Marisa
A Doula Who Truly Listens
My journey into birth work began with my own transformative birth experience. I became a full spectrum doula because I believe every birthing person deserves unwavering support, evidence-based information, and a compassionate presence by their side.
I work with families of all backgrounds, birth preferences, and plans — from unmedicated home births to hospital births with epidurals. My role is to support your vision.
