Catalina Rodriguez

FOUNDER * Birth & Postpartum Doula

Catalina R. Is a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, and Certified Lactation Counselor with more than 15 years of experience supporting growing families.

Her passion for helping parents began when she volunteered in a hospital program that provided support to new parents and their newborns. Inspired by her mother, a pediatrician, Catalina spent her time assisting families, caring for newborns while parents rested, ate, or showered, and offering compassionate support during the early days of parenthood. Those experiences sparked a lifelong dedication to serving families.

In 2011, Catalina became a Certified Newborn Care Specialist and began working with infants from their very first days of life. Caring for newborns has always brought her immense joy and fulfillment.

As she worked closely with families, Catalina recognized that mothers often needed more support during the postpartum period. This realization led her to become a Birth and Postpartum Doula, allowing her to provide comprehensive care and guidance to the entire family during pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood.

As a Certified Lactation Counselor, Catalina also helps mothers establish successful breastfeeding routines, build confidence, and overcome common feeding challenges with compassion and evidence-based support.

Catalina is deeply committed to her work and approaches every family with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. She believes that every parent deserves to feel supported, empowered, and confident as they navigate their unique parenting journey.
