TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF

Blessings to you all!  My name is Juanita, I am a birth and postpartum doula. I recently relocated to the San Antonio area, after serving 24 years in the United States Army. I am a wife, a mother of 4 adult human children and 1 fur baby, and a Nonna of 2 grandchildren. I have a MA in Counseling, BA in Health education & wellness and currently pursuing an esthetics certification. 

HOW DID YOU COME TO DOULA WORK?

I was the first and youngest of my friends to become pregnant. I was a teenage mom in the 1990's - before the internet era - with little support,  and no birth education or preparation. During my birth experience, I developed a passion to assist others in their motherhood journey. 

After being an unofficial birth attended to family, friends, and co-workers over the years, I decided to explore birth-work opportunities as I began to transition from the military. My desire was to be more hands on with pregnant women and their families than the typical medical professional without having to pursue another professional degree/diploma. 

WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST OR FIND MOST REWARDING ABOUT DOULA WORK?

I love to support and empower birthing women during one of the most transformative and intimate experiences of their lives. I love creating a positive and comforting birthing environment, providing emotional support and advocacy. Witnessing the strength and resilience of birthing women and being a part of their journey towards parenthood is incredibly fulfilling. 

WHAT ARE YOUR SPECIALTIES OR AREAS OF PARTICULAR PASSION?

I have a passion for helping and empowering others. I am committed to providing services with love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,  gentleness, and self-control to encourage all women to walk into parenthood on their own terms. I have a heart to serve those in need especially teenage moms and military families.

My specialties include birth & postpartum doula, new parent educator, health & wellness coach, yoni steam practitioner, Vinyasa & prenatal yoga, and body sculpting technician.
