My womb creates and sustains life.
Hola! I’m Ivania. I can’t wait to help you have a fulfilling birth experience.
I have been called to guide, nurture, and support expecting parents who desire a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) so they can give birth in a way that leaves them feeling confident and empowered. I do this by honoring the ancestral and primal process of pregnancy, labor and birth, and by practicing La Cuarentena.
I am a daughter, sister, wife, and Mamí to 3 beautiful wild souls. I was born and raised in Miami, FL to Nicaragüan immigrant parents.
I have had 2 c-sections and 1 home VBAC. My second birth was very traumatic and lacked the support every birthing person needs when having a baby, whether it was a vaginal or c-section birth. Throughout the years, I have learned how necessary this ancestral process is for families as it connects us with our cultural raices (roots).
As a life learner of all pregnancy, birth, and postpartum (Cuarentena), I currently have the honor to further learn from the incredible Mexican Midwife Naoili Vinaver who combines traditional Mexican and contemporary home birth practices, with a profound respect for the physiology of natural birth.
I am honored to share my knowledge, experience, and ancestral offerings with you.
