Hi Future CDA Family!
Soy Erika Márquez Vargas, una mujer de 47 años que dedicó 28 años de mi vida como madre ama de casa antes de descubrir mi verdadera vocación como doula. Soy una madre amorosa de tres niñas y un niño, y una abuela de un niño encantador. Mi travesía en el mundo del parto ha sido nada menos que extraordinaria.
Participé en un total de 8 partos, incluido el desafiante nacimiento prematuro de un bebé de 5 meses y medio. Cada experiencia ha sido un capítulo notable en mi vida. A través de estos encuentros, descubrí una llamada y pasión profunda por apoyar a las madres durante el intrincado proceso de dar nueva vida al mundo.
Mi capacidad única para crear un ambiente de apoyo y tranquilidad me ha convertido en una presencia invaluable en la sala de partos. Mis experiencias como madre ama de casa y mi propio viaje de vida han enriquecido mi comprensión y empatía, permitiéndome conectarme con las madres a un nivel profundo y personal.
Estoy encantada de ayudar a las madres, encontrando alegría en compartir técnicas para facilitar el proceso de parto. Mi amor genuino por la experiencia del parto se refleja mientras guío y empodero a las madres con compasión y apoyo inquebrantable.
A medida que continúo abrazando mi vocación como doula, mi legado de compasión, empoderamiento y experiencias notables dejará sin duda una huella imborrable en las vidas que toco. Me empeno ser inspiración para aquellos que creen en el poder transformador del amor y el cuidado durante uno de los momentos más milagrosos de la vida.

I am Erika Marquez Vargas, a 47-year-old woman who devoted 28 years of my life as a stay-at-home mother before discovering my true calling as a doula. I am a loving mother to three girls and one boy, and a grandmother to a delightful toddler. My journey into the world of childbirth has been amazing.
I have assisted in a total of 8 births, including the challenging premature delivery of a 5 and 1/2-month-old baby. Each experience has been a remarkable chapter in my life. Through these encounters, I discovered a deep calling and passion for supporting mothers during the intricate process of bringing new life into the world.
My unique ability to create a supportive and calming environment has made me an invaluable presence in the birthing room. My experiences as a stay-at-home mother and my own life journey have enriched my understanding and empathy, enabling me to connect with mothers on a deep, personal level.
Delighted to assist mothers, I find joy in sharing techniques to ease the labor process. My genuine love for the birthing experience shines through as I guide and empower mothers with compassion and unwavering support.
As I continue to embrace my vocation as a doula, my legacy of compassion, empowerment, and remarkable experiences will undoubtedly leave a mark on the lives I touch. I stand as a beacon of inspiration for those who believe in the transformative power of love and care during one of life’s most miraculous moments.
