Monalisa Orduno Birth Doula

Monalisa Orduno Birth Doula I am a doula. I provide Emotional, Physical, educational support as well as guidance, to woman in labor as well as support for bereavement.

A Doula is a woman who provides assistance to a mother before, during, and shortly after child birth. As most of you know, I have been an in-home care provider for about 15 years. Taking care of people is what I LOVE to do. It is spiritually fulfilling for me, it's what makes me happy, and it is my passion. As a Doula, I will help expecting mothers establish a birth plan that will detail all of th

eir wishes for labor and delivery. The birth plan will cover all aspects of your labor and delivery including whether the mother would like to have medications administered during labor, what kind of exercises I can do with the mother to help her progress into labor, and which coping methods will help the mother ease through her contractions. The services available to my clients will be discussed in detail during an initial appointment. This is an opportunity for myself and the client to get to know each other, ask questions, or address any concerns. Doulas are not only beneficial to the laboring mother but we are also a support system for the partner. It is not a Doula's intention to replace your birth partner, but instead join together so we can both help the mother. Part of my role as a Doula is to be available for the partner as well. I will teach your partner soothing techniques and exercises they can do with the mother to prepare for labor and during delivery. Doulas pride themselves on providing emotional support, physical comfort, and helping woman make good, healthy decision for her and her baby. As your Doula, I promise to be with you at every step in your journey to motherhood. I will be there to nurture and protect your birth memory and I won’t leave your side until your baby has been successfully delivered! Childbirth is the most amazing time in a woman's life! The transformation of a woman giving life to another little human is absolutely extraordinary! I’d be honored if you would allow me to be apart of such an amazing experience. Thank you for taking the time to read this, if you're pregnant, or know of someone who is pregnant, please pass on my information and feel free to share this post. facebook/monalisaorduno4@gmail.com

22 years of loving you!!! I wish I could have found a baby picture but they are packed up inside of photo albums somewhere 😅

Story time: I had 2 membrane sweeps the weeks prior to my labor BUT Alissa has always done things at her own pace and at her own time!!

it was 7am and felt my body shift it was FINALLY TIME…. But first things FIRST, FOOD I wanted FOOD LOL I ate a whopper haha & then I made my way into Sierra view. Ctx were regular but bearable and then within 30 min they became FIERCE AND STRONGER than I had ever EXPERIENCED (this was my 3rd) the nurse checked me, I was 3-4cm & told me it was still going to be awhile I said NOPE 🙂‍↔️ SHE’s COMING my midwife Cass Garcia 🫶🏽came in & the nurse told her again “she’s only 3-4cm dilated” Cass asked me how I was feeling and again I said SHE’s COMING without question my midwife listened to me & told the nurse “this isn’t her first rodeo, I believe this baby is coming” within 28 min Alissa was born at 9:58 am

Fun fact Alissa aka lovely’s internal clock has always been around 10am she was like that in utero, she proved it at birth & to this day she prefers to NOT function before 10am 😂

Happiest Birthday my Lovely girl, I am soooo PROUD to be your Momma!!!

✨💖Holding space for one & other ✨💖

💗❤️‍🩹 Monthly doula debrief

You always see the “doula time” “congratulations” & “happy birth-day” posts…

But what you don’t see are the moments when we drive home in tears 😭 questioning whether we “did enough”

You don’t see what we see, you don’t see the front row seat we get when we witness obstetric violence 😭🛑

We carry the memories of birth for every single woman we serve but we don’t get to choose which of their stories we are carrying because we bear the weight of them ALL.

The beautiful births, the hard births, the fast births, the resilient births and the vilolent births. We carry them ALL

Because of this we need one and other. We need our doula sisters, our monthly debriefings, our venting sessions, our eating sessions, and our learning sessions. 🫂❤️‍🩹

We need one and other in order to keep holding space for others.

Born Resilient sisters, more than a collective. We are familia

There’s a part of me you don’t always see here.

Not the doula in the birth room.
Not the educator.
Not the one holding space for everyone else.

Just me.

A woman… still becoming.

For years, my life has been centered around supporting others through one of the most transformative moments of their lives. And while I love that work deeply, I’ve realized there are parts of my own story that have been waiting for space too.

So I created something new.

✨ Between Births & Becoming ✨

This isn’t a business page.
This isn’t about services or classes.

It’s a space where I write honestly about motherhood, identity, mental health, relationships, and the quiet in-between moments that shape who I am.

The parts I don’t always say out loud.
The thoughts that come during my 3am wakes.
The versions of myself I’m still learning.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re growing, changing, or trying to find yourself again…

This space is for you too.

🤍 My first post is now live.
I would love for you to read it and be part of this journey with me.
