Sliding Scale. Contact me for information.

I accept Medi-Cal.

As your birth doula, I provide continuous support throughout your birthing experience. I will assist you in moving into different positions during labor and ensure your birthing preferences are respected, empowering you to feel confident and heard every step of the way.

Mindfulness Mentorship

Deepen your mindfulness practice with one-on-one mentorship. Learn to bring mindful awareness into your everyday life, creating a foundation of presence and clarity. This mentorship supports you in parenting and birthing from a place of calm and intention, free from the patterns of fear or trauma, so you can meet life’s challenges with clear seeing and open-heartedness.

What I Stand For

I stand for women embracing their own power in birthing and the transformative journey into motherhood. I believe that every way of birthing is sacred, and I am here to support you in creating an environment free of judgment. Every woman deserves the right to choose how she wants to birth. Through the power of mindfulness, I believe we can navigate each stage of life with greater wholeness and embodiment, finding presence and trust within ourselves. My commitment is to ensure that you feel seen, supported, safe, and celebrated. I will stand by your side, fiercely advocating for your right to birth however you choose.

Testimonials

  • Christine

    Sofia was supportive of whatever I chose but she also offered alternative options to make sure I was making the right decision for me. In the end, I was able to deliver without getting an epidural.  I was so happy with how Sofia’s support.  We really could not have had such a great birthing experience without her!

  • Kate

    I began attending Sofía's prenatal yoga class at 14 weeks pregnant and continued weekly throughout my pregnancy and into postpartum. It was one of the best decisions that I made for myself during this time. Her classes helped me stay grounded and connected, providing physical comfort and mental calm. 

  • Emily

    Sofia has been my yoga teacher since I was 25 weeks pregnant; now, I am 4 and a half months postpartum, and I don’t ever want to stop attending her class. That’s because Sofia has a gift for getting me into my BODY. She slows my mind, she relaxes my nervous system, she centers my breathing, and she always has a powerful story to tell that also puts a smile on my face.

  • Fajah

    My experience with Sofia was amazing, beyond my expectations. She is a devoted, knowledgeable, kind, caring, intelligent, compassionate, committed, and confident doula. She cares about you all the time.

    I felt like a priority. I felt that she advocated for me and stood by my side in whatever way I chose to give birth. She respected my decisions and clarified every question I asked. She wants nothing less than what the mother herself wants, and it shows. She gave me confidence, knowledge, and encouragement to do things on my own terms.

    She is very knowledgeable about birth, and her support gave me strength during my pregnancy. I am so grateful for her expertise and for sharing this amazing journey with her. From the moment I met her, I knew she was the perfect doula for this beautiful experience!

    Every pregnant woman should have a doula by her side! I would highly recommend Sofia to any expecting mother.
