About Reverence Birth

MPH , CPLD, CHES, CPD ®

I wanted to take some time for you to get to know me, the CEO and Founder of Reverence Birth.


I was born and raised here in New Jersey by my wonderful Colombian parents. I was fortunate that my parents taught me Spanish and raised me with many different Colombian traditions. I also enjoy spending time with my loved ones, as well as my two beautiful cats, Cheese and Bloom. However, growing up, I was not only an only child but also battled many lifelong chronic conditions. Let’s just say, as a Latina woman, I understand how it feels when receiving care at a medical center can be daunting.


This is why I embarked on the path of helping many vulnerable populations from different communities. I am well-acquainted with, and have experienced, the health disparities, inequities, and inequalities that many of you may have faced and felt.


Therefore, I am using what I love to do, which is educating and supporting women and their families during pregnancy and all the way through their postpartum period.


I strongly believe that all women and their families deserve to be helped, supported, heard, and respected. That's exactly what you will receive with us here at Reverence Birth.


Please don’t ever hesitate to reach out!"
