“Ále was our rock. She met me at the beach just as my water broke and greeted me with the words, “How are you doing, mama?” Her presence set the tone from the very beginning: calm, loving, and unwavering.
During the hardest parts of labor, when I felt like I left my body and wasn’t sure I could continue, it was her voice and songs that anchored me. She sang to me, she sang to our baby, and she reminded both of us that we were not alone. Her hands poured water over my back, her words brought me back into myself, and her belief in me made it possible to keep going.
What I treasure most is that she held both me and Duncan. She gave him space when he needed to step back and tended to him so that he could tend to me. She helped create the most loving, supportive environment I could imagine.
If you want a doula who will bring ceremony, strength, humor, and deep care into your birth, call Ále . She became family to us through this process.” - Davis (2025)

“Ále is the reason I didn’t end up with a c-section. I went into labor with a birth plan, but once you’re actually in it, following that plan becomes almost impossible. Labor does something to your brain—you’re exhausted, vulnerable, and very suggestive. In that state, it’s easy for doctors or midwives to recommend interventions you originally didn’t want, and you might agree just to get through it. Ále was my voice when I couldn’t be. She fought for what I wanted every step of the way, making sure my wishes were respected. She stayed with me for all three days of my labor (crazy) —never leaving my side—and was truly an angel in the room. I would recommend her a thousand times over. And if you’re on the fence about whether you need a doula or not .. trust me, you do. I’m usually someone who can advocate hard and long for myself, but labor is a completely different ball game. Having an experienced, compassionate, and fierce doula like Ále made all the difference! Thank you Ále, I am forever grateful for you. I love you! Xx -Salma” (2025)

“We were so grateful to have Ále as part of our birth team. She originally came in as a support to our primary doula, but she went above and beyond in every way. Throughout my labor, she gave me hip squeezes all through the night and offered just the right balance of advice, encouragement, and calm support whenever I needed it.
What meant the most was her open-mindedness—she encouraged us to explore all options and stood by us with unconditional support, even during the most intimate and vulnerable moments of birth. That presence gave us the courage we needed to keep going. She fully respected and supported all of my choices, never giving up on my dream birth even when things became difficult.
Her care didn’t stop at birth—she checked in with us postpartum and even brought supplies, which made such a difference in those early days. She was compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly present for us every step of the way.
We honestly cannot wait to have her as our primary doula for our next baby. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially those hoping for a natural, unmedicated birth. She is truly amazing.” -D.A. (2025)

“I knew Ále was the perfect doula for me the second I found her website! I could tell she poured her heart and soul into her business, her purpose, her mission & her intentions with her clients! From then on I was so excited to meet with her & hoped I would be able to work with her! I was looking for a doula VERY last minute, at 37 weeks, because I was unsure if it would be an option for me financially but Ále was warm, loving, kind & accommodating! Our connection call flowed effortlessly & she was so understanding of our situation! We were able to come to an agreement that worked for both of us & began our journey together right away! She was there to answer all of my questions, ease any of my concerns & keep in the loop with any necessary updates! Our first time meeting in person flowed with ease & she had already felt like a friend! When getting to know our dream birth experience she made sure my partner was involved, that he felt seen, heard & loved in a spiritual, mental, emotional & physical way! She made sure to clarify with both of us ahead of time what things we felt comfortable with in our birth experience and what we wanted to stay away from! She also made sure to ask again when the time came! One thing that was so important to me during my birth was to incorporate a spiritual aspect, to connect with the elements & my ancestors, Ále made sure to bring that to life! During my birth everything felt perfect, Ále’s energy was calm & grounding, she ALWAYS said the right thing at the right time. Reminding me of my power, the divine wisdom my body holds & what I am capable of as a birthing woman! She made sure to advocate & hold space for me when the time came! In the days & weeks after our girl was born she made me a DELICIOUS warming & healing soup, lactation cookies (those didn’t last long), prepped a healing sitz bath & left me with a bag full of herbs for future baths, washed dishes, chatted with my partner & I about any postpartum struggles or concerns along with answering any questions we had about our newborn via text, held our girl so momma could have a little time for herself & made a GORGEOUS birth chart with a message for our daughter! Ále has a heart of gold & the most beautiful light surrounding her, if she is the doula for you you will know it and she will only add loving and calming energy to your birth space!” -Kaileahna (2024)
