When she was 19, Marialicia (pronounced Mah-dee-ah-lee-sia) González , RN, BSN, BSW, Midwife, experienced the sudden death of a close family member. Seven months later, she attended the birth of their child. Having the doors of death and birth open simultaneously at that young age, catapulted Marialicia into a journey of fascination, deep respect, inquiry, and curiosity, about all things birth and death.
Since then, she has worked as a medical Social Worker and for 10 years owned & operated Daraluz Midwifery Services ~ offering midwifery care, labor & postpartum doula services, Hypnobirthing, and childbirth education. Marialicia has also worked for 11 years as a palliative care RN, serving the dying. Her passions lie in walking with people as they make the wisest, most informed & resonant choices, for their lives, through frequency, 1:1 sessions, workshops, rituals, retreats, and haiku.
Marialicia is a midwife, author, poet, leatherworker, and mama. She is a visionary & a lover of a good belly laugh. Her first haiku collection, Language Has No Words, released October of 2022 and is available everywhere books are sold.
She is first generation Cuban-American and offers services in Spanish, English, and Portuguese.
