Amaris Garcia started her work as a childbirth educator in 2014 in Iowa and Nebraska. She also became certified as a lactation counselor, birth doula, bereavement doula, and trained in specialties such as postpartum and herbalism for women's health. She worked in a busy hospital in Labor & Delivery for 4.5 years, teaching parent classes and assisting families with lactation support on the postpartum wing. While there, she developed a successful hospital volunteer doula program that she managed, taught the training workshops for, and certified many doulas, providing support and mentorship along the way. AWWS virtual doula training was born out of this experience and a passion for teaching others.

​

Amaris has supported families in both hospital and home births and has worked with a local holistic, pro-life women's center, teaching childbirth and lactation classes, as well as several years of past experience as a La Leche League leader. She is also fluent in Spanish as a second language.

​

Her passion in seeing God's beauty in the natural design of our bodies and drawing from his strength and grace, influences her heart behind the program.

​

Amaris believes God designed a woman's body to be fully capable of birthing naturally and that birth should not be seen as a medical emergency type event, though at times medical intervention is needed and can be life saving.

She enjoys the outdoors, studying herbalism and teaching natural health, doing professional photography for families, and mothering and teaching her children.
