Hi! I'm Flor Cruz, the woman behind BadassMotherBirther. I am a wife and mother to 4 beautiful children. I reside in the city of Menifee in California. I became interested in becoming a birth doula when I came to a bit of standstill in my life. I wasn't doing what my heart desired. And where my I found myself was really wanting to help families through childbirth. I jumped right in. I signed up for doula training and once I completed that, I worked as an intern at a free-standing birth center. From there I started my own doula business and found what a real problem there was in the maternity care. I was rocked by what I was seeing and experiencing. My passion for birth only grew stronger and I dove into learning about normal, physiological birth and evidence based care. I wanted to know why our system was and still is failing families. I uncovered so much information and I needed to share all of it with the world. I had a VBAC in 2017 that changed me forever. And went on to have another VBAC at home with a midwife which impacted me in so many positive ways. A BadassMotherBirther was born. I've had so much pride in feeling like I'm making a difference by just sharing my knowledge and amazing uncensored content across social media platforms. The BAMB community has grown tremendously and I can't wait to see what the future holds in store for us.
