Meet Your Doula

Hi, I'm Marta.

I founded Red Earth Doula because I believe that every birthing person deserves a grounded support system whose sole focus is YOU while you bring your child into the world. My background combines a deep respect for physiological birth with a practical, modern understanding of the healthcare system. I help families bridge the gap between their instinctual goals and the realities of modern maternity care.

Whether you are planning an unmedicated home birth, a supported hospital birth, or a planned Cesarean, your birth belongs to you. I am here to protect your space, honor your choices, and provide a calm, steady presence.

When I’m not at a birth or supporting parents through the postpartum weeks, I’m usually in my art studio, working on my latest sewing project or wandering Red Butte Gardens.

Training & Background:

Certification: DONA (in progress)
Specialized Skills: Birth plan Preparation, Acupressure, Nervous System Regulation, Rebozo Techniques, Informed Decision-making Coaching, Partner Involvement & Support

What you can expect from my care:

Empowered Advocacy: Equipping you with the evidence-based information and confidence needed to ask questions, understand your options, and create the birth experience that's right for you.
Physical Comfort: Using positioning, counter-pressure, and breathwork to manage sensation and support progress.
Grounded Support: Offering continuous, non-judgmental emotional and physical presence through every stage of labor.

Behind the Name

Birth is not just a medical event; it is a primal, transformative experience.

The name Red Earth is a reflection of how I view this journey. Red earth is ancient, unshakeable, and resilient. It represents the foundation from which life flourishes.

In birth work, it is a nod to the visceral, raw power of the physical body—the blood, the bone, and the ancestral lineage of the women who have walked this path, and your return to your body's inherent capabilities.

My role is not to dictate your experience, but to act as a grounding presence. I provide the evidence-based information, physical comfort measures, and continuous support needed to help you navigate your birth story with confidence and autonomy.

Your Birth. Your Body. Your Grounding.

Every birth is unique, and finding the right support matters. Let’s connect to see if my approach aligns with your vision for your birth.
