Helpful tips: How to choose the best service provider for you

Lina

Gutierrez

I studied at DONA INTERNACIONAL AND DOULA CARIBE INTERNACIONAL becoming the first certified Doula in Colombia. I implemented the first Doulas Volunteer Program in a public hospital, being the first hospital to employ Doulas in my native Colombia. Now based in the Bay Area, I bring my skills as a Perinatal and Postnatal Educator along with her experience in more than 400 births, educating more than 500 couples, and conducting numerous courses for parenthood. I believe that families deserve to be informed, empowered to make birth decisions and that their voices need to be heard and respected. I work comfortably within the hospitals and medical staff, as well as alongside homebirth Midwives.

In the middle of this process looking for a doula, thank God we found Lina, who with her professionalism, disposition and patience guided us from scratch to enter this wonderful world of parenthood, what to buy, how to prepare for childbirth, breastfeeding, newborn care and everything necessary for this new task of parenting. Thank you Lina for making life easier for us, for letting us see everything easier and for helping us organize a new life in a practical and appropriate way for us and our baby. ~ Fabian, Andrea and Simón!

My approach

I am a mother of two children born in the comfort of my home with peaceful water birth and this beautiful birth experience inspired me to become a Doula. I have made it my life’s mission to provide families with strong support during pregnancy, labor, and a great parenthood foundation. I understand that everyone has a right to choose birth in whatever way they feel most comfortable and I am supportive of plans for both medicated and unmedicated birth experiences. I am eager to share my experience and knowledge with new families and offer my services in English and/or Spanish.
