Your care,your way

November-December 2025
Inland Empire Midwifery & Lactation is Offering A Free ($250 Value)Visit!

A calm, grounded place to get the support you deserve — at no cost.

If you’re pregnant or recently postpartum, you’ve probably already felt the rushed appointments, the boring 'educational' handouts, the vague reassurance that leaves you Googling things at 2 a.m.My care is different...like really different.But most people don't realize how different their care could be. And that's why I'm offering this visit so you can witness, firsthand, the space, time, attention and answers the midwifery model of care can provide.In lieu of a stuffy consultation, I'm offering one 45–60 minutes appointment totally free.
Spots are limited each month and available only to those that qualify.Is that you?!

What This Visit Will Feel Like

Every person comes in with unique questions and/or concerns.Here are some of the things I often work through with folks:--> pregnancy challenges that feel confusing or stressful-->“is this normal?” moments you can’t get real answers on anywhere else-->planning for a physiologic, undisturbed birth (home or hospital)-->creating a birth beyond a template-->latch issues, feeding difficulties, or nipple pain-->tongue/lip tie concerns-->newborn feeding + weight assessment-->postpartum recovery questions (physical + emotional)-->support for partners so they feel confident and involvedIt’s the kind of visit where people walk out saying,
“Phewww! I feel better!”

Why I Offer This For Free

I’m a Licensed Midwife (LM, CPM) and IBCLC providing homebirth, prenatal, lactation, and postpartum care throughout the Inland Empire.
And here’s what I know:Once someone feels what real midwifery care is like — unhurried, honest, trauma-informed, whole-person, family-centered — they instantly know whether we’re a good fit.✅Some families choose homebirth.
✅Some come for lactation.
✅Some continue with supplemental prenatal or postpartum care while still planning a hospital birth.All are welcome.This visit is my way of opening the door.

"She was there to guide me through the most difficult, transformative moments in my life, both physically and mentally. As a midwife she is intuitive, calming and insightful and not just during birth, but before and after."

WHAT FAMILIES SAY

  • "Yuli somehow always knew what I was feeling to help me through my motherhood journey."

  • "If you want someone who listens, suggests solutions in your comfort zone, is knowledgeable and really takes your vision for birth into consideration, she is your person!"

  • "I would tell someone looking into home birth to please go for it; it was the most safe and perfect situation for my body mind and baby!"

  • “Yuli is trauma-informed, gentle and accommodating and was willing to listen through and provide reassurance for some anxieties I had around pelvic care. I left feeling supported and empowered with a care-plan we can work through at my pace.”

  • "...they treated me with patience, grace, transparency, and tenderness when I needed that most. From the first appointment to the very last, I was seen and empowered; something I needed during such a difficult time in my life. When I felt frustrated with my own health diagnosis, experiencing one of the toughest births I've ever experienced, Yuli was there, in her calmness amid my internal chaos. The type of care that Yuli provides of pregnant people is what makes all the difference between resulting in a traumatic birth and a positive, blissful experience."

  • "If you are contemplating midwifery care, interview your local midwives to get to know them and decide who you would like to be by your side during your most vulnerable time in your life. There is a midwife for everyone; Midwife Yuli was my best choice."
