Adisela M. | Postpartum Doula in Orlando, FL

My journey to birth work sparked after my first son. Even though my earliest memories
are of making formula bottles for my siblings or assisting in diaper changes at the age of
five. The real fire wasn't ignited until I had gone through my own pregnancies and births.

When I became pregnant, I found myself in an unknown world navigating the typical path
of maternity care. Dismissed by my healthcare providers and a hospital stay where I felt
belittled, my voice silenced and almost every staff member that attended me were
condescending and made me feel inadequate as a first-time mother.

Throughout the years, I quickly realized I wasn't the only one who felt like there was a
gap in compassionate reproductive care and there must be a better way to birth. Since
then, I built Maternal Affinity Birth Services and my life has been all about pregnancy,
birth, postpartum support, advocacy and unity ever since.

Your pregnancy, your birth and the postpartum period (however long that may be for you)
are the foundation of a lifelong journey. It is vital to care and nourish the new person,
transitioning into postpartum who has also just been birthed.

Whether this is education on a plethora of topics under the birth spectrum or
continuous support and encouragement, a hand to hold to know you are not alone; or an
open mind and ears to validate your emotions throughout the sea of parenthood. You do
not have to cross these waters by yourself. No one should be without support.

I am here to uplift you during your birth and postpartum journey. You are not alone. I
will meet you in the middle, wherever that may be. I will hold space for unconditional
love and healing. I am a resource of unbiased, evidence-based information. As a certified
birth & bereavement doula, full-spectrum doula, evidence based birth instructor, infant
microbiome instructor and lactation educator, I bring my knowledge, trainings, experience
and open heart to the fullest extent with my families.

You have a voice, let me help uplift it. The vibrations will break barriers.

And no matter what, your birth story is yours to write.
