Real Stories From Families I've Supported

In their words

Held, heard, and never alone

Maribel was by my side the entire time, holding my hand, applying pressure to my back, and gently encouraging me every step of the way. She reminded me of my strength and helped me achieve the peaceful, unmedicated birth I had always dreamed of.

Unmedicated hospital birth

When my labor turned into an unplanned Cesarean, Maribel never left my side. She explained what was happening, advocated for the moments that mattered to us, and made sure my partner and I still felt like the center of our baby's birth.

As a first-time mom I was terrified. Maribel spent our prenatal visits helping me understand my options so that on the day, I felt informed instead of afraid. She felt like family throughout.

We cannot find words, or gestures, that could ever explain just how much you have done for us. Having you document our VBAC meant we get to relive that victory forever.

Being bilingual meant my mother could be part of the conversation too. Maribel made our whole family feel respected and included in a way we didn't know to hope for.

The photos are honest and so tender. She captured the exhaustion, the joy, my partner's tears, all of it. I look at them and I am right back in that room.
