My name is Sairy Minjares and I was born and raised in Los Angeles County. I am the eldest of five and have had my fair share of interactions with infants from a young age. Ever since I was a young girl I had a strong passion to follow a career within the maternity world. Becoming a doula seemed like the natural path to choose after I realized that the best way to assist those going through this transitional moment was to be a source of continuous support.
Additionally, I noticed that within the maternity world, there are communities that tend to be under-served and I specialize in working with Spanish-speakers, adolescents and those in the LGBTQ communities. I am the owner and doula of Alta Gracia (High Grace) Doula Services. I believe that doulas provide a missing piece to a person’s experience of birth. Helping them feel like a strong, brave warrior by reaffirming their power to choose and create their own unique birthing experience. A doula provides her client’s partner with a sense of calm and trust, helping them to assert their right to a positive birth experience as well. I believe that we all deserve to make informed choices regardless of our educational level, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion and language spoken. |
