Hi, I’m Yael Martinez.
Blooming Constellations was born out of my personal journey as a mother and from the years in my career of perinatal work with diverse families in the Bay Area. My journey started with the birth of my child, where I received loving support from my doula and midwives. I am also grateful to have had lactation counseling during the challenges I faced while feeding my own baby. I learned and grew so much through my own experience, I wanted to continue on this path by assisting other parents on their journey.
I am looking forward to supporting you and your growing family constellations!
