My Trusted Birth Partners
Hi, I am Evelyn! A mami, doula, and childbirth educator passionate about empowering women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
Motherhood sparked my deep love for birth education and advocacy. After experiencing empowering births myself, I knew every woman deserved the same—an informed, supported, and confident journey into motherhood.
Through La Vid, I provide guidance, education, and a nurturing community so you never have to navigate this journey alone. Whether it’s your first baby or your third, I’m here to help you feel rooted, prepared, and empowered every step of the way.
Let’s make your birth experience one you’ll cherish forever.
