About me

Hello my name is Xochitl (pronounced Sochi)! I am the owner and founder of Blooming Bellies Doula Services LLC. I am a birth and postpartum doula and Placenta Encapsulator. I am certified through Dona International. I am experienced in ayurvedic postpartum care and traditional Mexican Cuarentena postpartun care as well. I am looking forward to connecting with mamas looking for doula support in the prenatal, labor/birth, & postpartum phases. My philosophy and hope is to raise awareness for birthing disparities and make education & support as accessible as possible to women. Every birth deserves to be honored, and every mother deserves to be supported throughout her entire journey. I do this by providing uniquely tailored support with information to equip women with the knowledge and the tools to have conscious pregnancies, empowering, and positive birth experiences, with the most nourishing start possible for themselves and their babies postpartum.

Placenta Encapsulation and Tincture
What is placenta encapsulation? We use the Traditional Chinese Method Medicine practice to prepare placentas for human consumption, a practice believed to support postpartum recovery. Your placenta is steamed, dehydrated, ground into a powder, and placed into vegan capsules. The pills are taken by the mother to aid with recovery from pregnancy and birth. Following strict OSHA and Bloodborne Pathogen safety standards, we ensure a clean, sterile, and professional process. What is a placenta tincture? A placenta tinture is an herbal preparation made my steeping small amounts of the placenta in high proof alcohol, usually for 6 - 8 weeks to extract its bioactive compounds. The benefits are similar to that of the capsules. Potential Benefits: Helps prevent Baby Blues and Postpartum Depression. Speeds up postpartum healing and recovery. Increases milk supply. Replenishes iron levels. Increases energy and reduces stress How it works: When you go into labor, simply notify us so we can be on standby. After birth, inform your nurse that you're keeping your placenta, and we'll handle the pickup, preparation, and delivery- returning your capsules to you quickly so you can begin your postpartum healing journey.

This was my 3rd baby but first time hiring a doula and I am so grateful I did! I can’t recommend Xóchitl enough! She is an amazing doula! She was there every step of the way and was so organized, paying attention to the details. She captured some incredible photos of my son’s birth, did the placenta encapsulation pills for me, and taught me about belly binding after birth. During labor she helped with essential oil therapy, breathing techniques, pressure points mood lighting in the room and so much more. She has a wealth of knowledge and is so eager to help. She truly exceeded our expectations and I’m so thankful for her!

No tendría una palabra para describir lo que significó y seguirá significando tu compañía en mi día de parto, te recomendaría sin duda alguna porque lo que haces viene desde el fondo de tu corazón. Tu empatía, tu energía tan arrolladora, tu amor por lo que haces impacto en gran manera mi vida y la de mi esposo. Siempre estarás en mis oraciones de gratitud, porque recuerdo esas horas difíciles y lloro de agradecimiento porque a pesar del dolor, vi el respaldo celestial en personas como tú. Tu eres sinónimo de fuerza y valentía, amas el milagro de la vida y sé que Dios te dio el don de ser como las parteras hebreas pero de este tiempo. ¡XÓCHITL, HAS NACIDO PARA ESTO! 🥹❤️

I had a difficult time navigating motherhood during my pregnancy as a first time mom. When I met Xochitl, she was very attentive to my feelings and birthing plan. She educated both my fiancé and I throughout our whole experience. She guided me during labor using various methods to help relax me and was a huge advocate when things got intense. Having Xochitl as a doula made our first time experience a positive one.

Having Xochitl during my labor was one of the best decisions I made. From the moment she got there she provided unwavering support both emotionally and physically. She helped me stay calm through breathing techniques, offered pain relief suggestions like massage and counterpressure, and reassured both me and my husband throughout the process.What I appreciated most was her ability to advocate for my birth plan while also helping me adjust when things didn’t go as expected. I highly recommend having Xochitl with you throughout this experience. The guidance, comfort, and knowledge she brought made me feel supported and confident during childbirth.

Xochitl is incredibly genuine, caring, and deeply supportive. During our first conversation, she truly listened and made me feel heard. When I shared my previous birth experience, along with my fears, concerns, and hopes for my second pregnancy, she reassured me that a VBAC was possible and took the time to educate me on various techniques we could try. Out of the 15+ doulas I interviewed, Xochitl stood out the most. She was always quick to respond, highly experienced, kind, and even worked with my budget. I’m so grateful for her support, and she even offered me a personalized postpartum package, and belly binding which is so rare to find! Xochitl is a truly a well rounded amazing doula, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate and expert support during pregnancy and beyond.
