For over a decade, I’ve worked in the tech industry, solving complex problems and driving innovation. But nothing prepared me for the transition into motherhood - the steep learning curve, the isolation, and the overwhelming feeling that I had to figure it all out on my own. They say it takes a village to raise a child, but sometimes, we have to build that village ourselves.

That’s why I created Nina - to help women find the support, resources, and community they need through every chapter of motherhood. Whether it’s preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, or simply finding time to be yourself again, Nina is here to make that journey easier.

As a first-generation Mexican American, honoring my cultural postpartum traditions was deeply important to me - just as it is for so many women across different backgrounds. Nina is built with that in mind, embracing the rich traditions that nurture mothers while making resources more accessible, no matter where you are.

Motherhood should be supported, not overwhelming. With Nina, I hope to provide the guidance, care, and connection that would have made my own journey smoother - so that every mom feels empowered to care for her baby without losing herself in the process. Nina is the village every mom deserves.
