Meet Anita
Welcome — I’m Anita Diaz, a certified doula, poet, and caregiver dedicated to nurturing families through one of life’s most powerful transitions: birth and the journey that follows.
With over 15 years of experience and having supported many births and newborns, I bring a calm, grounded presence to every family I serve. My approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and intuition—blending knowledge with heart.
As a full-spectrum doula, I provide emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Whether you’re preparing to welcome your first baby, navigating early parenthood, or simply seeking reassurance along the way, my mission is to help you feel seen, supported, and empowered.
I strive to help women reclaim their power and exercise their God-given right to birth their babies on their own terms.
Every family’s story is unique—I’m here to honor yours with care, presence, and love.
About Anita's Services
My Book
"Birth is intense, graphic—it’s poetry in motion. So is the courage of mothers, the cry of a newborn, and the quiet work that goes unseen. As a doula, I have witnessed the sacred power of these moments, and as a poet, I have given them voice."
"This book is a collection of poems for the grieving, the hopeful—for every living soul touched by the circle of life. These words are an invitation to pause, breathe, and discover the beauty in the journey of becoming."
