Hi, my name is Gloria Salazar. I was born and raised in El Salvador, and for the past 19 years I've lived in Los Angeles. I am married and have two boys of my own, ages 13 and 22, and am also the foster mom to a precious 3 year old little girl. 

 

My journey began in 1995 when I started working as a full-time nanny. I have experience with children of all ages, including newborns. Throughout my years working as a nanny, I was around new mothers, and saw the challenges that the postpartum period can bring. I took the DONA International postpartum doula training so that I could expand my knowledge and help mothers through this period.

 

It has been such a pleasure to work as a doula for the past five years. I am overjoyed to help so many families transition into parenthood. Seeing the different needs of each family, I decided to pursue further education. I am now a birth doula through DONA and a lactation educator through CAPPA. My main goal is to empower families to create a lasting bond and feel confident taking care of their new bundle of joy.

 

I am a proud member of Joy in Birthing Foundation. JIBF is a non-profit organization that provides doulas free of charge to pregnant women that are in homeless shelters, teens, and victims of domestic violence or/and abuse.
