In Her Own Words:

“After my first child was born, I felt the calling in my life. The support that I received during my labor was needed in my community, especially for first time parents and people from overseas.”

What Clients Say:

“Trini felt like an extension of my brain. She helped me do the research on things that worried me or things I was curious about. It was also
important for me that my husband felt the positive energy with Trini and they hit it off great which was key the day of my labor. It was a 30 hour labor with lots of things going on and without Trini I am sure I would have had a different outcome. During my labor she asked all the questions I would have asked if I wasn’t so sleepy! And she truly was the leader of the team.”

“[Trini], I want you to know how crucial your presence was. I don’t believe in coincidences; I strongly believe the people that come into
your life serve a great purpose and it truly felt as if it were written in the stars that you would be part of my support system.”
