About Paulina

Philosophy

I believe pregnancy and childbirth is much more than a process by which babies develop and are born. I believe that everyone deserves compassionate care, informed and educational consent,  and options that fit their family's lifestyle and boundaries. I believe it is a transformational time of a parent's life and that labor can be a spiritual experience to both the parent and baby. I see labor as a life-changing, empowering, and spiritually expansive event. Every birth experience should include the most essential and vital necessities such as feelings of safety, respect, and honesty. I recognize the uniqueness of each parent, each baby, and each family.

Paulina began studying Midwifery in 2014 at Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery in San Diego, California, where she was born and raised. In 2017, she graduated with a Diploma in Holistic Midwifery and has been an apprentice at La Matriz Birth with Bianca Mercado, LM, CPM, and is currently finishing up her last births before she earns her own License to provide Midwifery Care in the State of California. Paulina is passionate about Spinning Babies and the "magic of body balancing".
