My Story

care that stays with you.

Nursing is my second career. I came to it later — and on purpose. After years in another field, I went back to school knowing exactly what I wanted to do with the license: walk alongside families through fertility, birth, and the long, tender months that follow.

When I earned my RN, I went straight into doula work — building a practice where I can be present from preconception through your last in-home postpartum check. The kind of care I'd want for my own family: someone who knows your story, your hopes, and your fears, and stays with you through it all.

Luna Care Studio is the practice I built to do exactly that. Holistic, continuous, nurse-informed care rooted in Filipino warmth for families across Contra Costa & Alameda County — whether you're trying to conceive, planning a hospital birth, a home birth, or navigating those first foggy weeks postpartum.

My Philosophy

what i believe about this whole journey.

the whole person, not just your chart.

Body, mind, relationships, environment, ancestry, intuition. Holistic care means I tend to all of it — not just the clinical picture.

your journey is your journey.

Trying to conceive, hospital, home, epidural, unmedicated, planned cesarean — there's no "right" way. My job is to support yours, not steer you to mine.

every stage matters — fertility to postpartum.

From trying to conceive through birth and the fourth trimester, your whole journey deserves steady, continuous care — not just support on the big day.
