I am a certified birth and postpartum doula living in the southwest district working with mothers in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia and serving mothers worldwide. I founded Maternal Legacy as a birth and postpartum doula practice because pregnancy doesn’t just grow a baby, it grows a mother.

Maternal Legacy means seeing each pregnancy as an opportunity to honor, tend to, and transform what you’ve inherited and intentionally shape who you become as a mother, as well as what you pass on to your children.

As your doula, I provide evidence-based birth support, grounded in physiology, shaped by lived experience, and expanded by a global understanding of how women can be cared for when systems work with them.

I am especially passionate about working with expatriates and women of color. Becoming a mother in an unfamiliar country or in systems that have not always centered our voices can be both beautiful and daunting. Thoughtful, evidence-based support can make all the difference.

As a Filipino-American doula, supporting our community is personal to me. Let’s reconnect with cultural practices around pregnancy, birth, and postpartum in ways that feel grounded, modern, and empowering.

I am available in-person for clients in Washington D.C., Maryland, and Virginia. I work virtually with clients worldwide and reserve select availability each year to travel for in-person birth and postpartum support.
