As a first time mom, I didn’t realize the scope of the role that Pilar would play when I asked her to join me for my birth process. With my partner intermittently working out of town, to include the week of my due date, I was seeking the support of a doula who could take on the role of primary coach if need be. From the beginning though, Pilar emphasized that babies come when they feel it is the right time and with whomever they want present. She was right. My partner was home for the birth! Also as Pilar had emphasized from the beginning, her role was to bring him and I together as partners during the birth process. That is exactly what she did. She seamlessly supported us so much that I mostly remember my boyfriend’s support and presence; though, I know Pilar was in the background facilitating our environment both at home and at the birth center. There were times during my labor when Pilar stepped in to give him a break. She also offered to massage and stretch me when I had very painful cramping in my hips. I’ll admit, one of the main reasons I interviewed her was because she is also trained as a massage therapist. I naively thought that massage would make labor comfortable. Little did I realize, I would need her to relieve me of debilitating cramps that had prevented me from laboring sitting down. I remember being amazed at how she was able to target the exact muscles that needed relief, even while I was stuck in certain positions. I am also forever grateful to Pilar for the pictures and videos she took while I was giving birth. Those pictures that I have from the seconds and minutes just before and after my daughter was born are by far my favorite pictures in the world. I am also so thankful for both the prenatal and postnatal guidance I received from Pilar. Prenatally, she was able to really get me thinking about how I truly wanted and expected to experience childbirth; and, she was able to prepare me in ways that I couldn’t get from reading baby books. Postnatally, she filled me in on the details that I didn’t see while in my fog of labor. She also offered me herbs and ayurvedic medicine for breastfeeding, as well as for my own emotional and physical recovery. Most importantly, Pilar sat with me, as a dear friend, for hours helping me to better process the experience that I had just gone through as well as setting me up for success as a new mom. I will absolutely be asking Pilar to join me again for my next birth experience!

I started seeking the help of Pilar when my husband and I had entered our 2nd year of trying to conceive. We trusted in her and her prenatal program along with herbs and were gifted with a positive pregnancy test just 3 short months later! What a blessing! I continued to see Pilar weekly through the first trimester to stay healthy and stress free. And we made it to trimester 2! Sadly my husband (along with my Father and brother in law) passed away in a tragic plane crash a week into my 2nd trimester. The worst, most devastating time in my life, and I was pregnant with my first child. After all of the hard work we put in to get pregnant and this happens…I was terrified I would lose this pregnancy because of the depression and stress I was under. Pilar along with my midwife quickly became the calming support I needed to stay mentally and physically healthy. I asked Pilar to be my Doula and continued to see her regularly for amazing prenatal care. I felt great my entire pregnancy! My son came into the world at 8 pounds 8 ounces on New Year’s Eve at 10:32PM. He was born at home with my midwife, mom, sister, and Pilar by my side. I can not speak any more highly of Pilar. She was more than a massage therapist, more than an Ayurvedic Dr, more than a doula… She was and forever will be one of my dearest friends. Going through a tragedy you learn a lot about the people around you… Pilar never backed away, never showed fear. She was a shining light in the dark time I was in. She gave me knowledge, support and comfort. I’d absolutely recommend her services and do all the time to anyone who is in need of labor support or are just starting the journey to conception. You want her on your team!

Pilar is AMAZING! She's a wonderful healer, massage therapist and Ayurvedic practitioner that knows how to help with overall women's health and fertility and prenatal care. I am an fertility acupuncturist and I highly recommend my fertility and pregnancy patients to her. She truly listens to your needs and is a very kind, compassionate woman. You will feel amazing after her massages too!

Words cannot explain how truly amazing Pilar and her knowledge for everything Ayurvedic is. I had chosen Pilar to help as a doula throughout my home birth journey. Our first pregnancy, our first baby, Pilar was there every step of the way- lending invaluable insight and guidance. She helped to supplement my prenatal vitamin routine with powdered ashwaganda, yummy nettles and red raspberry leaf herbal infusions- something my family has grown to use regularly to cure all kinds of ailments and illness long after pregnancy. We truly connected, and I felt beyond comfortable and completely at ease with Pilar adding to the strengthening atmosphere I fed off of during my labor.
Pilar also provided me and baby Sage with the most incredible prenatal massages. I'm not usually one to "pamper" myself, but as my body was changing in all kinds of uncomfortable ways, and baby growing bigger and bigger- I SO looked forward to my massages. Helping to relieve pressure off my hips, my lower back, the massages were heaven sent! Sage would even wiggle and kick in pure joy when he had his turn. Post delivery she taught me how to massage my baby, and a massage to help keep my endometriosis in check- all things we still use and benefit from!!!
I definitely recommend Pilar in anything and everything that she does! She has a passion for her work and it shines brightly through to benefit you and I !! Pilar is awesome, and so is Shri Veda!!

I'm beyond grateful to have had my best friend refer Pilar to me. Her knowledge and experience in female mind-body-spirit health is so vast and it's exceptionally rare to find it combined with doula services. I hired her as my doula but what I received was so much more than I could've ever imagined. We met 6 times before my birth and each 1hr session was everything I could've needed and more. From mini therapy sessions with Pilar, her massages (best massages I've ever received and I grew up getting massages!) to her providing amazing resources (books, people, practices & more), I truly got so much wholesome support. When labor started, Pilar was there as quickly as we needed her. She gave us space as a couple which allowed us to really dig deep to support one another in such a magical experience. She also did a postpartum home-visit and it was such a gift. And something I didn't think I needed until the baby was here. Pilar and her assistant Devyn walked in like two fairy godmothers bringing nutritious homemade postpartum-specific foods, teas, bath herbs, oils, and much needed love and support. Pilar did a Ayurvedic oil massage on both me and baby and it was so special. Pilar also offers vaginal steams; I did 3 postpartum and let me tell you, it feels like you're in a heavenly jacuzzi and it helped a lot with rapid healing. Pilar is a women's wellness expert and will support you in ways you don't even know you need yet. The doula service that I signed up for turned out to be more than I ever imagined and was exactly what I needed and more. She gives back what our society is missing today with endless compassionate support, nurturing, knowledge, and love. Thank you Pilar!!
