About Liz Guerra Doula
Liz Guerra is a Full Spectrum Doula/birth worker, Latina social justice warrior, Queens native, and farmer with nearly 20 years of experience as a community organizer, educator, and birth keeper.

Liz uses her activist background to teach birthing people and parents to advocate for themselves through the birthing process and postpartum, and to stand in their own power. Liz is a Certified Lactation Counselor, Full Spectrum Doula, soon-to-be certified HypnoBirther, CPR/First Aid certified, childbirth educator and placenta encapsulator. She incorporates traditional postpartum support into her postpartum work. Liz is fluent in Spanish and offers birth support for folks whose native tongue is Spanish.
Liz lives on a farm in Connecticut with her partner, three kids, dog, chickens, and bees.
What is Inti-Quilla?
Inti in Quechua (Quechua is the native language of indigenous peoples of South America. My family roots are based in South America) means Sun and Quilla (often written as “Killa”) means Moon.
The sun & moon represent the life cycle of the day. The support I offer as a birth keeper is to bear witness to this major life transition for you and to support you through becoming a new parent/a parent to a new little person in the world. As an advocate I teach you and your partner/support how to advocate for yourselves and your baby. Once your baby is earthside, we celebrate you and your family.
