Evidence Based Birth®

Neysha Reyes Cruz’s journey to becoming a birth doula was sparked by witnessing the inadequate support and resources during a friend’s hospital birth in Puerto Rico. Her personal experiences and those of her family have further fueled her commitment and passion for advocating on behalf of women, particularly within Hispanic and Latinx communities. Neysha recognizes the significant need for more bilingual doulas to ensure culturally competent care and clear communication for non-English speaking patients. In response, she is actively working to train and certify young Latina women as bilingual doulas in Kansas City, aiming to address this critical gap and improve maternal health outcomes.
