Hi, I'm Michelle Rodriguez (she/her), and I am here to support you every step of the way on your pregnancy journey. My passion for birth work ignited through my own contrasting experiences with the births of my two daughters. During my first birth, I felt like an observer. With my second, I felt empowered and connected to every decision, which led to a deeply positive birth experience. This transformation inspired me to pursue a birth doula certification and provide a safe space for birthing families to feel supported and empowered in their own births.

I named my practice Birth by Mica (Mee-kuh) to honor my mother, who lovingly calls me Micaela. As a Certified Birth Doula, Certified Body Ready Method Pro®, CAPPA-trained Lactation Educator, and Lamaze-trained Childbirth Educator, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep commitment to providing individualized, non-judgmental, culturally competent, compassionate care. I am passionate about advocacy, education and movement. I incorporate prenatal alignment tools, Spinning Babies’ techniques, and mindful birthing practices to ensure you feel prepared and confident.
