Est. 2020

I am a native Oregonian, born and raised in Salem. I have three beautiful children, two of which I had during my midwifery training. I have been in birth work since early 2014, serving in hospitals, birth centers, and homes. I began course work and studying the art of midwifery in April 2015. I graduated in March 2020 with a Bachelor of Science in Midwifery from Birthingway College of Midwifery in Portland, Oregon. Birthingway is an accredited institution by the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC). I am certified by the North American Registry of Midwives, licensed in the state of Oregon, Central Oregon Representative for the Oregon Midwifery Council, and member of the Oregon Midwifery Council.

My passion for midwifery has always been access to care. As a Latina and Ingenious person, who has had midwifery care and has completed midwifery training. I know the challenges faced when trying to access compassionate and mindful midwifery care, and midwifery education. As a midwife, my goal is to reclaim the art of midwifery for the communities that need it the most. 

I am a  beneficiary of the Bigger Table Fund provided by NACPM (National Association of Certified Professional Midwives) I am excited to have the opportunity to use the funds given to me to drive my midwifery practice and the greater plan I have to fund free midwifery education, paid midwifery apprenticeships, and access to free or low-cost midwifery care to anyone through donations made to the Maravilla Midwifery Fund.
