Hello, my name is Aja! Nice to meet you

Born and raised in San Jose, California, I am a proud mother of three amazing children and a bonus mother to three additional beautiful souls. We have a big beautiful blended family. Family is the heart of my life, and I’m deeply grateful for the connections we share. Recently, I became a grandmother, and I had the privilege of assisting in my daughter’s birth — a full-circle moment that deepened my love for the journey of motherhood.

I became a doula when my daughter asked me to be by her side in the birthing room. Having already witnessed the births of other family members and friends, it was that moment that sparked a deep passion within me. Now, I’ve made the choice to pursue birth support as a calling. Birth is a profound and transformative experience, and I feel honored to support mothers through it.

As a mother, I’ve come to understand the significance of breath — the first breath we take as we enter the world and the last we release when we leave it. This connection to life fuels my desire to support mothers during such a life-changing journey.

I also facilitate births with guided breath meditations, helping mothers stay present, calm, and centered. I use the Body Ready Method to prepare the body for birth, supporting the natural process and empowering mothers to trust their instincts and bodies during labor.

When I’m not providing birth support, I’m out exploring the world with my husband, kids, and two dogs. Traveling and going on adventures with my family, creating lasting memories along the way, is something I cherish deeply.

Birth is a challenge, a miracle, and a sacred experience, and it’s my mission to empower mothers through it. I’m here to provide love, guidance, and support, ensuring every mother feels confident and celebrated as she brings new life into the world.
