The Heart Behind Casa de Parteras
Casa de Parteras is more than a platform; it’s a growing home for community, connection, and culturally-rooted care.
Created for Latinx birth workers and the families they serve, this space exists to make support feel more accessible, more aligned, and more human.
Care that feels like home.
Rooted in Culture
Birth work has always been a part of our culture. It lives in our traditions, our families, and the ways we care for one another. Yet, many families are navigating systems that do not always reflect their values, language, or lived experiences.
Our Mission
Casa de Parteras exists to bridge that gap. Through education, shared resources, and intentional community-building, we support birth workers in expanding their knowledge, strengthening their businesses, and continuing their work with confidence, all while helping families connect with care that feels familiar, respectful, and deeply understood.
Recognizing the Gaps
Families are often left searching for care that feels aligned and truly understanding, while birth workers continue to do deeply impactful work without the visibility, resources, or community needed to sustain and grow their impact.
Culturally aligned care is not a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Why This Was Created
For too long, families have had to search for care that understands their culture, their values, and their lived experiences. At the same time, so many birth workers are doing powerful work without the visibility and support they deserve.
Casa de Parteras was created to bring these needs into one shared space where community, education, and visibility come together with intention.
Meet the Founder
Casa de Parteras was founded by Christine Becerra, a mother of three, full-spectrum doula, educator, and passionate advocate for culturally rooted support in the birth world.
After years of working closely with families, Christine saw a clear need for something more: support that feels both expert and familiar. She recognized how powerfully pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are shaped by culture, language, trust, and community, and how difficult it can be for families to find care that truly reflects those values.
She also saw the incredible work of Latina birth workers who deserved greater visibility, opportunity, and support. From that vision, Casa de Parteras was created: a space where families can connect with trusted professionals who understand their lived experiences, and where birth workers can grow, collaborate, and thrive.
Today, Casa de Parteras is a growing home for connection, education, and community honoring tradition while helping shape the future of maternal care.
Christine believes birth work is sacred, community is essential, and when we invest in those who care for families, entire generations benefit.

Natalia grew up between Mexican and German traditions, surrounded by women who believed a new mother should be held, not rushed. Today she's a trilingual birth and postpartum doula (Spanish, English and German) based in Huntsville, in the Muskoka region of Ontario, Canada.
Her path to birth work started with understanding the human body. For over ten years, Natalia has practised Reiki, learning how deep rest, touch and presence can shift the way we feel. Paired with her background in psychology, that experience led her to the question that guides her work today: how do we help families feel safe in their bodies during the biggest transitions of their lives?
Natalia has dedicated her life to finding nervous system tools for families: simple, grounded practices that help parents move through pregnancy, birth and the fourth trimester with more calm and connection. Her support is non-directive and deeply respectful, and she trusts each family to find their own way.
Natalia is a collaborator with Casa de Parteras because she is dedicated to offering support that honours culture and tradition. She believes the wisdom passed down through generations, like la cuarentena, belongs alongside modern care. Through Casa de Parteras, she offers online talks and workshops in English and Spanish on menstrual cycles, postpartum, partnership and motherhood, open to birth workers and families alike.
