"A space for birth and parenthood guided by trust — where information and intuition come together"
For those who sense that birth is more than a moment.
Childbirth is a profound, embodied, transformative experience - one that deserves to be witnessed, honored, and supported with presence and reverence.Pregnancy can feel overwhelming at times - full of opinions, advice, and information that don’t always align.I offer guidance that brings calm and clarity, weaving evidence-based care with intuition and grounded presence. Stay connected to your body, your choices, and what truly feels right for you.
Every birth is sacred - so is yours.
Hola. I'm Yarid.
My work weaves evidence-based care with intuition and grounded presence. I offer support that helps you navigate the noise - to find calm, clarity, and confidence in your body’s natural ability to give birth.My path into birth work began with my own experience of becoming a mother. At that time, I didn’t have information that could help me make choices - I simply followed what I was told. There was no space to ask, no one to walk with me, and no sense that I could do it differently.With time, I began to understand how important it is to be accompanied during moments of transformation. To slow down enough to feel what the body is living. To open with awareness to the new stage that’s arriving.That’s what shapes how I work today.Offering care that blends knowledge, intuition, and presence, so families can feel supported, informed, and grounded through their own process of becoming.
My Role as Doula
I hold a calm, grounded space where families can slow down enough to listen to their own rhythm. I bring information and body awareness together - so birth can feel less like something to manage, and more like something to experience and trust.Every family I work with has their own pace, their own questions, and their own way of finding ease in birth. I’m not here to tell you how it should look - I’m here to walk beside you as you find what feels right for you.
My Philosophy
My philosophy is simple: support should not replace your voice, but help you hear it more clearly. I don’t lead or instruct; I accompany - with care that is informed, intuitive, and deeply human.
Creating and holding your sacred space.
From our first meeting, I hold space for your unfolding - to slow down, ask questions, and prepare in a way that feels grounded and clear.During labor, I’m there as a calm and steady presence, offering comfort measures, guidance, and reassurance for both you and your partner.My intention is to help you stay connected to your body, your breath, and your power — wherever your birth unfolds.The first weeks after birth are sacred - and also deeply human. I offer visits that focus on rest, nourishment, gentle recovery, and emotional integration. Together, we create rhythms and rituals that help you feel held while finding your new balance.Wherever you are in your journey, there’s a way to feel more at ease, informed, and connected.

Testimonials
Shohan S.
Yarid was such a great support for me during my pregnancy. She was very professional and knowledgeable and made sure to make me comfortable throughout the process.
Ada L.
Yarid has worked with my two kids, and is so warm, kind and exuberant. She makes a mother feel comfortable and safe at the same time.
Thank you, Yarid!
Valerie V.
She takes a lot of initiative and is always present prior to the birth... Yarid was very aligned to my vision of a natural unmedicated birth and helped bring that to fruition.
Juan and Tara
More than just baby care, her support truly helped us cope. Allowing us to rest, recover, and protect our mental health as new parents. She is truly a must-have for any family navigating the early months with a newborn.

With a full heart, I acknowledge that my work and life unfold on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Peoples.
May the care I offer honor the wisdom, resilience, and stories rooted in this land.
