Micaela is a Latinx birthworker, born and raised in Costa Rica. She's warm, energetic, and loving. Micaela is a mother of two young children, an herbalist, and an artist. She is passionate about birth and postpartum care as a transformational space, and believes in the importance of empowerment, support, and evidence-based care in preparation for and during birth.

Micaela provides a safe space for learning, growing, and healing during and after pregnancy, while accommodating each person's needs and desires — whether birth is in the hospital, home, or birth center.

She has trained extensively with a diverse group of traditional midwives and birth workers from Latin America, where she learned techniques including Rebozo, Belly Binding, and the Postpartum Hip Closure Ceremony. Alongside technique, she learned and incorporates an overall grounding approach to the transformational moments of birth and postpartum.
