My Journey

A Life Devoted to Motherhood

Mother holding newborn baby in warm light

Clara Marreiros began her journey in the world of maternal and newborn care in Brazil, where she graduated as a Registered Nurse in 2010. From the very first moment she held a newborn in her arms, she knew she had found her life's calling.

With over 14 years of experience in obstetrics, pregnancy, and neonatal care — and more than 100 births attended — Clara brings a rare combination of clinical expertise and heartfelt compassion to every family she serves.

In 2017, she moved to Vancouver, Canada, where she expanded her practice as a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, HypnoBirthing Educator, and Spinning Babies Instructor. Today, Clara continues to grow — because she believes the best care comes from never stopping learning.
