Fee Details

I'm a Latina doula (Puerto Rican, born and raised in NYC) offering culturally responsive birth and postpartum support, trained through Mama Glow, one of the most reputable and prominent doula training organizations in NYC. I got into this work after seeing how often mothers move through the most vulnerable times of their lives without the support they deserve. Every family has their own traditions and ways of welcoming a baby. Whether you're Latina, Black, Muslim, Christian, Asian, etc, I bring genuine curiosity and respect for the heritage and culture you carry into your birth journey, tailoring my care to reflect who you are. My support blends evidence-based education with emotional presence. In pregnancy, I help you understand your options and advocate for the birth you want. During labor, I offer continuous support so you feel grounded and held. Postpartum, I support your recovery and bonding with baby. Care is never one-size-fits-all. Shaped around your needs and culture.

Taina J. Madera

Working with Mari was one of the best parts of my birthing experience. This was my second pregnancy. Mari's support, knowledge, and guidance all while being by my side at every appointment and my induction is what made this birth feel so much calmer than my first. I'm not someone who's comfortable asking for help, but Mari made that easy. She reminded me that even though I went through this before, it's never too late to have a team of support. She also reminded me that there's still so much we are not always informed on when it comes to our bodies. I appreciate the time and effort she poured into getting to know what my needs were because these were things no one bothered to ask me during my first pregnancy. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a compassionate, supportive doula.
