Eyla Cuenca is a voice of wisdom and sanity that’s desperately needed in the birthing space. She’s built a wealth of knowledge and expertise in her field that spans over a decade. She draws on a blend of ancient traditions and evidence-based information to bring custom-tailored support to every individual no matter where they are in their process.

Starting her career as a birthing photographer, Eyla saw a place for herself in the birthing process. But as she went through doula training, it became apparent just how much the process falls short of women’s needs.

Whether man or woman, Eyla’s wisdom applies to all. She shares her journey of becoming a birth keeper and lactation consultant, the effect of having a doula on the birthing process, the difference between a birth keeper and a doula, and her thoughts on the continued attack on individual medical autonomy.

Eyla is also offering listeners a generous 20% off her course using code “LUKE20” or by visiting lukestorey.com/eyla.
