Hi, I'm Sindi

I'm a birth and postpartum doula serving the Utah County and Salt Lake County areas, and I'm also a placenta specialist.

I am the mother of a rainbow baby conceived through IVF, and I have extensive experience in dealing with food allergies and lactation. I am the wife of a supportive husband who encourages my goals and dreams. Being from Colombia is a big part of my identity; as an economist by profession, I had the opportunity to work with teenage pregnant mothers in sexual and reproductive health education as part of my bachelor’s thesis.

I find joy in contemplating and creating art, cooking, dancing and spending time with loved ones. A nature lover at heart, I have a natural affinity for children, and caregiving comes to me instinctively. My main passions include fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, lactation, parenting, healthy lifestyles, and anthropology, and I enjoy delving into literature on these topics. Currently, I work in the field of data analysis, aiming to leverage that knowledge to contribute to the improvement of maternal and infant health. Being a doula is not just a passion but a profound calling in my life.

I am a Community Health worker who has been facilitating lactation classes for Hispanic mothers in Utah for since 2020. I am involved in training community-based lactation consultants and serve as a community-based doula. My passion lies in advocating for the right to have a loving, compassionate, evidence-based, culturally-oriented, trauma informed approach to woman and baby-centered care, incorporating spiritual and ancestral practices. I believe in empowering mothers to make informed decisions and receive support, free from judgment, from the community around them.

What I'll Bring to Your Birth Journey

Childbirth is a transformative experience that necessitates accompaniment. It’s a journey through valleys of fear and confidence, self-doubt and self-discovery, uncertainty and intuition, inner criticism and self aceptance, central wounds and healing, shadows and light, discomfort and movement, judgments and understanding, clumsiness and grace. I see myself as the hummingbird that, without changing the flower, helps you extract the best of your experience. I aim to illuminate the successes, magic, and beauty within, assisting you in finding your voice, discovering your essence, being amazed at your courage and power, identifying your intuition, and walking your unique path.

My role is to support without colonizing your space, enabling you to navigate this journey with light and resilience.

It is an honor for me to express my deep gratitude to you and the incredible work you did as a doula in my pregnancy and postpartum process. Truly, you are a blessing and an angel in the lives of the women you have the privilege to attend. From the moment I met you, I could feel your love, your compassion, and your spiritual wisdom that inspired me and gave me strength to face the most demanding and vulnerable moment of my life. Your calming and serene presence helped me find peace in the midst of the storm, and your expert care allowed me to give my best at all times. Thanks to your knowledge and experience, I was able to overcome every challenge of the labor process with confidence and security, knowing that I was in the best possible hands. And in the postpartum period, your emotional and physical support was invaluable for me and my baby, guiding us with patience and love in this new stage of life. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with you. You are a bright light in this world, and I know that every woman who has the honor of being attended by you will feel the same blessing that I experienced with you. Thank you, Sindi, for all that you do, and for being the most wonderful doula one could wish for.

Sindi's doula services are fantastic! I could not recommend her enough! She is extremely knowledgeable and provided resources from reliable sources for you to learn more about each topic as needed. My husband and I hire her as first-time expecting parents. She gave us tools that helped us prepare for our baby's arrival in ways we never would have been prepared for otherwise. She let us borrow books from her library and during labor she provided support that we wouldn't be able to get from the medical team. She went into detail on every topic we discussed previously to encourage me to keep going. I would definitely recommend her!! Thank you, Sindi!!

I want to start by saying that Sindi is wonderful at what she does, she assisted me during my labor with my second baby and I could really feel her care, her love, her way of making you feel and connect so much with your baby and that is very special also for my partner. It helped me a lot to stay relaxed during most of my labor, to focus on the positive and also to try to enjoy that special moment that is giving birth. For me she is the best doula, she is always preparing to provide more knowledge and techniques that help in what she does, she is very dedicated and is always there to give her best and above all to help you give your best as a mom. She was very helpful also during my postpartum because she gave me breastfeeding consultations that helped me a lot with my baby. Thank you Sindi for your beautiful and unique work, if I have the blessing of being a mother again I will not doubt that you are there again at that stage of my life. You are a great great doula ❤️

I just don't know what I would have done without her. I don't have enough words to thank for having had Sindi in this my first delivery. It was incredible. My husband and I were a little confused about whether to have a doula or not, in my country it is not used and I did not know what she did exactly. Today my husband and I can only say: IT WAS SO GOOD THAT WE HAD SINDI. We will never forget her. From the visit before delivery to the postpartum follow-up is WOW! Thanks to Sindi we also have many memories (photos) of that day. It's unstoppable. Super professional. She loves what she does. I hope to have her in many future births!

Without a doubt, having Sindi as a doula was the best decision my husband and I could make. We are so grateful with her, she was so attentive to me before, during and after my delivery. She helped my husband a lot to know how to help me. At all times he kept us informed of what was happening. She is a highly prepared person. I felt so confident with her. For me it was a blessing to have her in those moments. Whenever I needed her, she was there helping and reassuring me with everything!

Sindi was amazing! I felt like I had a birthing advocate who helped both me and my husband know what to expect when taking on the feat of an unmedicated birth. She helped me every step of the way and helped my husband to know what was going on and gave him suggestions on how he could support me. Third baby for us, but it was the best experience we’ve had and it’s all thanks to her!
