Offerings

Birth Doula Packages

Our birth doula packages offer grounded support through pregnancy, labor, and the moments after. From physical care to informed guidance, we’re here to help you feel prepared, confident, and cared for — as your birth story unfolds.

Placenta Keepsakes & Encapsulation

Placenta capsules and tinctures are believed to support postpartum healing, hormone balance, and milk supply. You can also choose to create a placenta print — a one-of-a-kind keepsake that honors and preserves the memory of birth. Whether for wellness, remembrance, or both, these offerings help you stay connected to the power of your journey.

Reiki

Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki is a gentle, restorative practice that promotes balance and relaxation for the mind, body, and spirit. Offered to anyone seeking energetic support, it may also be included as an optional part of doula care for those who want a deeper sense of calm and connection during pregnancy and birth.

Reviews

  • If you’re contemplating on working with Xiomara, contemplate no more. She is the one! Xio was my doula and i have nothing but amazing things to say about her and this experience. She is so knowledgeable and helpful and someone you definitely want by your side. I loved that she has a medical background and also is well versed in holistic mediums. Xiomara supported me mentally, physically, emotionally & spiritually. Because I worked with her, I always felt I was in good hands no matter what happened. I now have my beautiful rainbow baby after a tough loss last year. But I couldn’t have made it through without Xiomara. I highly recommend her. She is passionate , sincere, genuine , intelligent , professional and a big ASSET. she goes above and beyond for her clients and she truly cares. She helped me to tap in my mom intuition and make decisions based on that which was so powerful.

  • I was referred to Xiomara by another placenta encapsulator and from the very first conversation she was kind and answered all of my questions without hesitation. She was very straight forward which I appreciated. She came to pick up my placenta right after I gave birth and had my placenta pills back to me within 2 days. She was very cost effective compared to other encapsulators and she even added in a cord keepsake & sent me pictures of my placenta. I’d recommend Xiomara to anyone looking to have this done!

  • I had the pleasure of working with Xiomara for prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and truly attentive to the needs of her clients. From the very beginning, she was professional and supportive, helping me create a birth plan that reflected my wishes and values. During labor, she was a strong advocate for me and played a key role in making the experience smooth and empowering. Thanks to her support, I was able to have an unmedicated birth, which was a significantly better experience compared to my first. Her care didn’t stop at birth—she continued to check in during the postpartum period and even recommended excellent services, like a lymphatic drainage massage, that really helped with recovery. She’s very well-connected and a great resource all around. If you’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate doula, Xio is absolutely the one to call.

  • I'll forever be grateful to Xiomara and her presence leading up to, following, and especially, during my birth. I birthed our little one at home and Xiomara attended in-person for 40-hours of my 48-hour labor. When it came to pushing, I'm fully convinced, without her, I would have either labored for hours more than I ultimately did, or I would not have been able to finish out my birth at home. She's an unbelievable powerful and positive force who I'd recommend to anyone looking for an experienced doula who has deep passion for their work.

  • I’d give 10 stars if I could. I had the pleasure of working with Xiomara as my doula in 2024 and the education/support I received was well beyond what I expected. We initially sat down and created an intricate birth plan (which she guided me through from beginning to end) including back up plans and last resort options. Unfortunately, my natural birth plan went out the window when I had to have an emergency induction/c-section. Not only did Xiomara show up within 15 minutes on a holiday to support my last minute delivery, she also stayed to educate me and my partner, and provided a safe space for our fears to subside. I truly cannot thank Xiomara enough for going above and beyond. She’s more than just a doula, she became family during the whole process. I would recommend her services to anyone, but especially first time/high risk moms. She made everything feel comfortable for me and I had a safe, worry-free delivery! <3
