TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF

Hello! I’m Priscilla, a full-spectrum doula! I was born and raised in San Antonio with my 6 siblings! I have a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from St. Edward’s University. My husband and I have been together for 7 years and have 2 beautiful children! I love reading mystery books, watching soccer, and trying new foods.

HOW DID YOU COME TO DOULA WORK?

As I became pregnant for a second time, I wanted to be as proactive about my wellbeing as much as possible. I started investing in many different resources including mental and physical therapy to better my experience my second time around. Being able to experience a safer birth and a smoother transition into postpartum grew my interest in maternal care.

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

Being able to empower parents to feel confident in their choices is my favorite part. Helping a family navigate labor through education, comfort techniques, and assurance is my goal.

I feel so honored to be a part of one of the most sacred chapters of a family’s story in birth or postpartum.

what are your specialties or areas of particular passion?

Having a background in mental health, I love to assist parents navigating postpartum by prioritizing your wellbeing whether it’s helping you sleep, or nutritional guidance. Being part of the support system at such a vulnerable time can make a difference in how you show up for your baby. My goal is to help you pour into your cup first!
