Giny, Metro DC Postpartum Doula

Giny, Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula

I am an experienced birth and postpartum new born care specialist who has been working with women and their families for over ten years. As a registered medical assistant (RMA), I have worked with midwives, doctors, and pediatricians to support moms and babies during the postpartum period. I have worked with many premies and multiples and my focus is to ensure that mom and baby can recover in a calming environment. I am patient and reliable, and am known for my calming spirit and the ability to meet each family at their point of need.

I am also a breastfeeding coach (Metropolitan Breastfeeding) and am currently working on my CLC certification. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety and postpartum depression. I also provide sleep training support by sleep shaping babies for when it’s time to “sleep train”. I am currently studying to become a midwife while continuing to teach each family that I have the privilege of working with.

After helping a woman deliver her baby on the side of the road while visiting family in Cuba, it became clear that this was my calling. And, it was in my role as prenatal educator that I found great interest in supporting families. I believe that every woman is intuitive and with proper support and guidance, motherhood will bring them much joy. I love the statement “It takes a village” because at the end of the day, working as a team can make each dream come true.
