I believe every family deserves thoughtful, continuous support. I accept a selection of Medi-Cal insurance plans and also offer private-pay options. My fees vary depending on your coverage and the type of support you’re looking for, which always includes both prenatal and postpartum visits. I’m happy to talk through what’s included and what might be a good fit for your family.

2/11/2026
As a first-time mom, I can’t express how grateful I am to have had Maribel by my side throughout my pregnancy and birth journey. From our very first meeting, she brought so much warmth, wisdom, and genuine care to every conversation. She wasn’t just a doula she became a essencial support for both me and my husband.
Maribel guided us with her deep knowledge, no question was too small, and no concern went unheard. She helped us feel prepared. Having her as our doula was truly a gift.We believe every new parent should have a Maribel. Her heart and expertise made all the difference for us.
Thank you, for being such a meaningful part of our story!

Maribel was amazing! When we got back our photos I was in awe of the precious moments she captured that I (being in labor) could not fully appreciate, comprehend or notice and I am in tears when I look back and see everything and everyone who helped bring my beautiful baby boy into the world. The faces on my mom and sister as they prayed for me and the face of my husband as he held me through the whole day are memories I never want to forget and now I never have to because of Maribel and her gift??thank you so much!!

I cannot recommend Maribel enough. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly warm, knowledgeable, and supportive. She has a way of holding space that immediately puts you at ease, and she takes the time to understand what matters to you and helps you navigate your options with compassion and clarity. Her insights helped us feel much more prepared and grounded overall.
Her photography is just as thoughtful. Her pictures capture emotion in such a beautiful, honest way, that you can feel the story behind them. It's rare to find someone who brings so much heart to both the practical and emotional sides of birth, and I'm so grateful we found her!
Whether you're looking for support, information, or a meaningful way to document this chapter, you're in good hands.
