We are all capable and we all need support. Valuing yourself and doing some research on ways to seek out support is no small thing to me. Being a mother has transformed my entire way of being. Honoring the miraculous and ever changing transitions through a human’s life cycle is what has me so deeply connected to this work. In order to have a thriving community, we must focus on postpartum wellness. In your search for a doula, you are nurturing yourself and modeling the kind of self care that is needed to be the change we need in our society. Mother centered care. I felt like I was initiated into doula-ing. The invitation for me to support a dear friend at the hospital came with an unexpected call. Hearing the level of uneasiness in her voice, I knew I needed to get into action swiftly. Without a doubt, my partner was able to meet me off a highway exit to be with our little girl for the rest of the afternoon into the night. I had no idea what I was walking into and more importantly how I would walk out of it. The dynamic nature of working with a team of health care professionals, family members, and the laboring person has me in awe and respect. It is pure magic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590964269595-K747MLUJCJFLZEKOAK3R/40077646_10156741036005680_4362303445374337024_o.jpg ABOUT - It was clear to me from a young age that I wanted to work with people and have a better human impact on the planet. For many years I wrote grants and content in order to work with youth restoring their local landscapes, building compost systems, taste testing new foods infused with fresh garden produce, and empowering them to take care of the planet through their community. I learned that it is not so much about protecting the environment as it is about sparking a reverence for life itself. People will protect what they love. The journey into parenthood can range vastly from training on the job, getting lost in comparing developmental milestones, perceptions of the “way it’s supposed to look” to the internal landscape, or what’s speaking inside of you. Empowering laboring and postpartum clients to listen to their deeper sense of knowing is what makes it all worth it. Our society must focus on the mother and womxn to nurture a healthy planet. It is very important to me that there are support systems and tools in place to equip the laboring person on the “other side”, no matter what the pregnancy outcome looks like. Every cell of my being is a stand for you having the most positive experience with how you are treated and how you feel in this growing journey. http://www.thegardeningdoula.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590390855881-2CK9NUBWP31VJ01L2KYZ/Victoria+Carranza+photo.jpeg CONTACT http://www.thegardeningdoula.com/resources daily 0.75 2023-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590796532568-JY9U85GT379PS8KW078S/first5.png RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590887399297-S2ZDZM7ZG1DDWSX5FPCQ/image-asset.png RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1591482895564-ZW35MAOBL1XDE1T38ZHN/CCBC%252BLogo%252BLockup-horiz_color.jpg RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590796753834-D4FWNDKRCL65JN4OVHBB/images.jpg RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1590886526183-LOEQEQM9RKDMT42V2PFA/customLogo.jpeg RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1591996623352-QWJH2J7WOR1MV0THM99V/legal.jpeg RESOURCES https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1596000334005-ZH1XVJZ2IFMBUUXES69J/Logo-final.png RESOURCES http://www.thegardeningdoula.com/gardening daily 0.75 2025-06-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1593123045832-103P4MGW2ISA4JQG71GP/Summer%2BFun%2BDays%2BGB%2BJune%2B2015.jpg WHY GARDENS Coriander harvest from dried cilantro plant with First 5 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1593122885157-9TMIA4H8BGMMJIFQP8ED/image3%25283%2529.jpg WHY GARDENS Trying tomatoes, tasting and playing with a spoon https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/1593123120037-SAACY2D0IS08PNC1B5P1/image0%25289%2529.jpg WHY GARDENS Baby hanging out with their gardening parent http://www.thegardeningdoula.com/rebirthyourself daily 0.75 2026-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/6f4b4ff5-f884-4cb3-b7b2-253171a7a431/MLP_Tawny_Sterios_2019-65.jpeg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/2d8a894c-2500-4470-880b-06a081faa3e8/IMG_2204.jpeg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/3ad4bed6-ade6-40ca-9617-255cd85e0f91/IMG_2797.jpeg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/8524b90c-afcd-47b7-93d7-d010149d65ef/closing-of-the-bones-141.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/44d3b427-8bf8-43ad-86f1-631c5880d08c/closing-of-the-bones-243.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/cef9e419-a4ef-4009-919d-3dccabcb77e8/closing-of-the-bones-302.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/5c23916a-f674-4292-b9c4-a379f3af2607/closing-of-the-bones-158.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/013a7525-a577-4173-af06-691456d3e769/closing-of-the-bones-313.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/da3b210e-ab6c-4f3a-8339-6b9df5700009/closing-of-the-bones-258.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/a631cccd-8c41-4ed1-a26e-70b0f170453e/closing-of-the-bones-126.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/16a9dad9-ba03-4bce-bddc-a3b00a6823fd/closing-of-the-bones-279.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/769b50ef-026e-48d6-b604-771a57223f39/closing-of-the-bones-197.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/e5a10f37-7324-47c3-9a26-d23363b438c7/closing-of-the-bones-237.jpg REBIRTH YOURSELF https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec8b2a327eb1f230bbd8777/75227600-3ee5-47df-b6c0-e1f6d5dce682/closing-of-the-bones-275.jpg
