Hi! My name is Sofia and I’m a Hypnobirthing Instructor, prenatal educator, yoga instructor and photographer. I’m a mother of 2 beautiful people who – when they were born – they turned my life inside out (both times!).
As I had experienced giving birth – a vaginal and an abdominal birth, both under what was considered the best medical care and practices and considering my professional background, I still felt the need to do something else to help my students to experience their births in a more positive way. As I was studying to accomplish this I came across hypnobirth; I read every book I could, researched different methods and found The Calm Birth School (the best, the most compassionate and respectful if you ask me!).
I’m from Querétaro, Mexico, a country where birth is a medicalized affair 98% of the time and with a really high rate of caesarean sections – most of them unjustified – without consideration of the consequences for us or our babies.
I started my studies in the health care sector, I’m the daughter of 2 Medical doctors and I understand the benefits of medical intervention; However, I also understand the pressing need to change the statistics, the need to rightfully live a humane, personal and respected pregnancy and birth, if solely for the fact that WE are the ones giving birth.
I want a change and I firmly believe that each and every one of us will achieve it by responsibly taking control of our health, of our mindset about birth and of our decisions.
My mission is to help the birthing people to achieve the most positive birth experience possible… and to make a change along the way.

I am from Mexico, a country where birth is medicalized 98% of the time and with a high rate of cesarean sections – most of them unjustified – without considering the consequences for us and our babies.
My studies began in the health area, I am the daughter of surgeons and I understand the benefits of medical interventions; However, I also understand the urgent need to change the statistics, to assert our right to experience a human, personal and respected pregnancy and birth – in every sense – for the simple fact that it is WE who give birth.
I want a change and I firmly believe that each and every one of us will make the change, responsibly taking control of our health, our way of thinking about birth and our decisions.
My mission is to help birthing people have the most positive birth experience possible…and create change along the way.
