I can help you with that! My name is Marissa Bolaos and I'm a childbirth educator and birth photographer in El Paso, TX. My passion is to support growing families. I'm here to provide you the tools, information and hands-on help you need to feel confident all the way from pregnancy to early parenthood! Birthing From Within inspired weekend workshops and class series help expectant parents access their inner knowledge to feel confident and holistically prepared for birth and postpartum.
With a professional doula by your side, you can feel relaxed and nurtured, knowing that you have an expert to answer all your questions and take care of your emotional and physical needs. As an experienced doula, I document your birth journey through photography and/or video while navigating your birth space unobtrusively and with respect. Because of Marissa I was able to have the natural birth I wanted- despite all the roadblocks that appeared!
That is a feat that I still can't believe I was able to accomplish, and I truly believe it was a direct result of having her at the birth.

I thank my lucky stars everyday that I hired Marissa to be my doula.
I don't even know where to begin - she prepared me for EVERYTHING in a way that was not overwhelming or scary.
She can see both sides of every coin and can give you her perspective.
My birth turned out to be exactly the opposite of what I planned and because of Marissa, it still managed to be the best day of my life (and trauma free!).
If you are looking for someone that is smart, savvy (in all things natural/medical birth) and on top of that easy to talk to, hire Marissa!

Having a doula supporting you during pregnancy and birth is like having a local friend guide you when exploring a foreign country.
Can you do it by yourself?
Of course you can!
But having an expert who is fluent in the language and familiar with the location makes things easier and more relaxing.
I can help you learn about all the different routes (and the risks and benefits of each one).
I will be by your side, supporting your choices, guiding you when you're feeling lost, making sure you're well nourished, both emotionally and physically, and answering any questions that come up.

You prepare for your birth by taking classes, find a trust-worthy provider, building an awesome support team and getting into the right mental and physical shape.
That's great!
But when the moment comes, your mind goes into a different state of awareness and you might find out after your baby is born that your memories of the birth are blurry.
Putting together your birth story in writing and illustrating it with pictures or video can help you process both the joy and the difficulties, and it makes for a wonderful document to share with your kids when they get older.

One kind of learning comes from books and data, but the learning necessary for you to participate fully in your birth experience must come from you.
During this workshop, we will combine important evidence-based information with exercises and activities that will strengthen your intuition and reconnect you with the experience of being in your body.
This workshop will be held in an outdoors location TBD.
If for any reason we're not yet in Phase 3 of the "Safe Start" plan, an online version of the workshop will be offered as a 4-week class series.

Having a doula supporting you during your pregnancy and birth is like having a tour guide and/or translator when you're exploring a foreign country.
Can you do it by yourself?
Of course you can!
But having someone who can guide you through the process allows you to be clearer about the steps to take to achieve your goals.
And it allows you to be more comfortable both with your knowledge about your options and your technical needs during labor, so you can relax and enjoy the ride, knowing that you won't get lost!
