About Me

​

I’m Cynthia — mother of four, educator, mentor, and the heart behind Treasured Art of Birth. My deepest calling is to help you uncover your own strength as you move through the profound transitions of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My path has been shaped by a cesarean birth, two hospital VBACs, a healing home birth, and the quiet grief of pregnancy loss. These experiences allow me to walk beside families with empathy, insight, and unwavering presence.

​

Values & Approach

​

At Treasured Art of Birth, every story is honored. I’ve created a space where families feel safe, respected, and deeply supported through trauma‑informed care, clear communication, and steadfast advocacy. My core values — compassion, community, integrity, diversity, and accountability — guide every interaction and shape the foundation of our work together.​

Educational Offerings

I am the creator of a Certifying Postpartum Doula Training rooted in trauma‑informed care, with a Birth Doula Training and a comprehensive Trauma‑Informed Course for perinatal professionals launching soon. I also teach puberty classes for girls ages 7–13, newborn care classes for expecting and new parents, and advocacy courses that help families understand their rights in every birth and postpartum setting. Teaching, mentoring, and empowering both families and professionals is one of the greatest joys of my work.

Beyond the Doula Life

When I’m not supporting families or mentoring doulas, you’ll find me cherishing time with my children, grounding myself in prayer and reflection, or tending to my own well‑being — curled up with a good book, journaling, sipping tea, or experimenting with new recipes. It is a true honor to walk alongside you as you embrace the life‑changing journey of parenthood.
