Meet Marimar

birth doula chicago

Marimar is a birth and postpartum doula on our team. As a birth doula she supports families in their home births, hospital births or birthing center births. She is experienced with supporting mothers with twins and single babies, VBACs, twin VBACs, as well as Cesareans. She provides hands-on comfort measures, evidence based information and a source of calm and collected emotional support. She is also experienced with Spinning Babies technique, prenatal massage, and yoga. As a birth doula, she loves seeing the instant bond a baby has when coming out of the womb and the sigh of relief after delivery and love mothers have for the babies. She knows this is the most important time in a woman’s life.

Marimar provides breastfeeding support, assists in creating healthy routines, provides strong guidance for newborn sleep and is proactive in all tasks and care. She is a strong support for families welcoming singletons and multiples. 

Prior to doula work, Marimar supported children from infants to 12 years old. She has always been a natural caretaker. Families describe Marimar as very helpful and nurturing, especially after they have their little one. She is also experienced with body wrapping, preparing teas, soups and stews, and soak baths. She is knowledgeable about herbs and an ability to help aid in a speedy recovery.

In her free time, Marimar enjoys cooking, going on hikes, and having fun with her two children. Being a parent is something she wouldn’t change for the world, and she is honored to see her clients become parents.
