Adriana immigrated fifteen years ago from her native country of Argentina. She has been a clinical certified massage therapist for 20 years specializing in techniques including prenatal massage and massage for people living with cancer. She has been a caregiver for terminally ill family members and friends.

This led her to become a certified birth doula in 2010, a lactation counselor, a postpartum doula, a certified educator of infant massage and a postpartum placenta specialist. Her doula trainings have been with DONA and ProDoula. She attends all hospitals and has supported many families with multiples.
