About Me

Hello!  Welcome,  I am so happy you have decided to visit my page!

 

Hi, I’m Maricela  an IBCLC , founder of Maravillasbirthymas. I support pregnant and postpartum families through compassionate, culturally rooted breastfeeding education and lactation care.

As a bilingual lactation consultant and with 12+ years of experience, I created this space to help families feel calm, confident, and supported throughout their feeding journey. I believe breastfeeding support should feel personal, empowering, and judgment-free  not overwhelming or intimidating.

My passion is helping families prepare before baby arrives, because breastfeeding begins long before the first latch. Through prenatal education, postpartum support, mindful guidance, and evidence-based care, I help parents better understand their baby, trust their instincts, and feel more confident navigating the early days of parenthood.

Whether we are speaking in English, Spanish, or a little of both, my goal is for every family to feel seen, heard, and cared for.

My approach combines:

• Evidence-based lactation support

• Mindfulness and emotional reassurance

• Gentle, family-centered care

• Practical feeding guidance

• Support tailored to your goals and lifestyle

I support families through:

• Prenatal breastfeeding preparation

• Postpartum lactation consultations

• Pumping and milk supply support

• Bottle feeding guidance

• Returning-to-work planning

• Breastfeeding education workshops

• Ongoing encouragement during every stage of feeding

Motherhood is not meant to be navigated alone. My hope is to walk alongside you with warmth, education, and support so you can feel more connected, informed, and confident during this chapter of your life.

I’m so honored you’re here.
