Proudly from Albuquerque, New Mexico and now currently residing in Tacoma, WA with my husband and bulldogs. Growing up I wanted to be a doctor, I’ve always wanted to help others feel better. I mentored at a hospital my senior year of high school and realized traditional western medicine is not where I want to be.

I have always been passionate about women’s health, and helping women better understand their bodies. I fell in love with prenatal massage in school when one of my fellow classmates found out she was pregnant at the very beginning of massage school. At first I was terrified, but to be able to learn first-hand was awesome, and to this day is my favorite kind of massage to give. In 2020, I trained through Birthing Advocacy Doula Training’s to become a full-spectrum doula and found my true calling.

I help my clients take their wellness journey in to their own hands by empowering them to get out of their heads and in to their bodies. I do this by providing space and compassionate touch allowing them to be at peace so healing can occur.

My role as a doula is to uphold my clients’ vision for their birth experience, their bodies, their boundaries and limits, their decisions for their baby, by providing a neutral ear, emotional support and all the resources they need to make empowered decisions, not informed by fear or coercion.

I honor all reproductive experiences and provide non-judgmental support. I offer prenatal planning sessions, bodywork, emotional support and advocacy for the duration of the birth as well as postpartum planning sessions. I am a sliding scale doula specializing in support for women of color, single mothers, low income families or just those in need of a little extra TLC.

As a doula I plan to help birthing people and new parents during their reproductive journey, to ensure they are getting the holistic care THEY need, so they can grow their family. Whether it’s from conception and fertility planning to postpartum and beyond, I will be by your side.

I am Mari and I’m birth keeper and body worker.
