Cell Phone: 503-819-3712
I love attending women, babies and families at home. I have attended homebirths & waterbirths for over 15 years. We teach holistic childbirth classes which include prenatal yoga, hypnobirthing, dance and music (sound healing). I do extensive nutritional and lifeskills counseling to assure the safest and most natural passage for you and your baby. I honor the sacredness and intimacy of this lifechanging event. Encouraging and supporting women to do the work of labor- women discover how amazingly strong they are.
(Dar A Luz is the Hispanic term for giving birth. The literal translation means “to give light”. I hope to help illuminate the light this is within each and every woman, and to celebrate with her and her loved ones, the joy of it). Blessings to you, Rebecca
