Hi I’m Sarina, a certified postpartum doula in Phoenix AZ.

Like many caregivers & women before me, I have felt this call quietly shaping my life for as long as I can remember. The pull toward nurturing, supporting & walking alongside others has always been there, guiding me through each season of my journey.

My path to doula work was not a sudden leap, it was a steady walk through years of caring for others. I’ve been a nanny, a server, a personal assistant, a manager in the sailing, restaurant & jewelry world. A student of holistic health & natural remedies. With all of those mixed together it only made sense for my fiancé to suggest I become a doula. It felt like the most natural next step. It was as if I had been preparing for it my entire life. Even as a young girl I was surrounded by women & children. My grandmother had 15 children which included 8 daughters. I grew up surrounded by a women & a bustling family with a home full of life. Growing up in that world of constant activity taught me that love & support are built in the everyday moments of care. Which has ultimately led to me this career.

I started Ola because I believe with my whole heart that when we care for mothers, we care for the whole family & when we neglect them, everyone feels the loss. Birth is not something to be taken lightly; it is the beginning of the future itself. Women, mothers & anyone who brings new life into the world deserve to honored, supported & given back the strength we ask them to give away. Postpartum is not an afterthought.. it is a vital season of recovery, adjustment & renewal. In this time, parents need steady care, respect & space to heal as they step into a new chapter of life.
