Barragan Community Services

The foundation of this work is rooted in lived experience.

After experiencing a postpartum hemorrhage and encountering limited information and support during recovery, I became deeply aware of the gaps that exist in postpartum education and care. I also experienced postpartum depression and an unexpected pregnancy, which further highlighted how little preparation and support families often receive during the postpartum period.

Following birth, I faced serious complications, including a life-threatening hemorrhage that required multiple medical interventions. In the quiet weeks that followed, I realized how rarely postpartum education, preparation, and afterbirth support are discussed—despite how critical they are to healing and recovery.

These experiences inspired my commitment to supporting families through informed, respectful, and community-centered postpartum doula services. I became a postpartum doula to help provide the additional care that is often needed after birth and to ensure families feel supported, informed, and not alone during this transitional time.

My approach is non-medical, culturally responsive, and non-judgmental. I meet families where they are, honoring their unique experiences while offering compassionate support during the postpartum journey.
