About me
Hi, I’m Petra, a birth doula, childbirth educator, placenta encapsulation specialist, and a more holistic-minded mom based in Modesto, California. I support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a mix of grounded evidence, deep intuition, and heart and soul.
I’ve been in this work for over 4 years, and I’m also a mom of four, which includes my own powerful VBA3C (vaginal birth after three cesareans) journey that changed everything I thought I knew about birth, advocacy, and healing. So if you’re planning a VBAC or trying to figure out what’s even possible after a tough or traumatic birth, I get it on a deep level.
I support all kinds of births, but I have a special place in my heart for VBAC moms and anyone trying to reclaim their voice after birth didn’t go the way they hoped.
I’m trained and certified through:
-The VBAC Link Advanced Doula Training
-The Birthworker Academy Full Spectrum Training
-Trauma-Informed Birth Support
-Placenta Encapsulation Certification
...and years of lived experience supporting diverse, beautiful births in real life.
Here’s how I support my clients:
- Birth preparation
- VBAC preparation
- Placenta encapsulation
- Childbirth education (private or group)
- Postpartum planning and support
Whether you’re planning your first birth or your fourth, I’ll meet you exactly where you are. I believe in honest conversation, good energy, and helping you feel informed, powerful, and seen. My goal is always to help you tap into your own knowing because you already have what it takes!
