"Entera" is a Spanish word meaning whole, or complete, which represents my philosophy of caring for individuals and families throughout the perinatal period. I provide counsel and support from fertility and preconception through pregnancy, labor and birth, and the postpartum period. As a full-spectrum doula I keep the mission of equal healthcare for all at the heart of my practice by supporting individuals and families from all religious backgrounds, classes, racial and ethnic groups, education levels, sexual orientations, genders, and abilities, in all manner of family arrangements. I feel especially drawn to serve folks living at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. I provide care through all possible pregnancy outcomes and choices including miscarriage, fatal diagnosis or stillbirth, chosen or therapeutic termination, adoption plans, and surrogacy. Please contact me to discuss pricing for adoption, abortion, or perinatal loss support using the form at the bottom of this page.
EXPERIENCE MATTERS!
There is no amount of training that can serve as an equal substitute for experience. You will remember your birth forever. Invest in your peace of mind and in memories you will enjoy for the rest of your life!

Teresa was fantastic to work with. She was the perfect blend of creative and 'crunchy' with a no nonsense / evidence based streak. She was supportive and warm to both myself and my partner. She was great to have in the hospital, by my side, and in the before/after home visits. -

Service Area
I live in Billerica, MA and serve families in the greater Boston area, Merrimack Valley Region, and Southern NH. I will attend births at locations within a 1 hr drive (including at peak travel hrs). For clients delivering within my service area, but who live outside this radius, virtual support can be offered for prenatal visits and early labor support.
