Monica Larrea was born in El Paso, Texas, and has migrated throughout the southwest, living in New Mexico for 12 years. She has dedicated over 20 years to serving families in various roles, including early childhood development. Her journey led her to become a doula in 2010 and further propelled her to pursue a career as a midwife in 2016. Monica is honored to serve families in New Mexico, where she embraces the opportunity to provide holistic, client-centered care. Her commitment to the rematriation of midwifery, restoring traditional practices, and centering the experiences of BIPOC and marginalized communities is a driving force in her work. In response to racial disparities in midwifery access and education, she founded the Midwives for Black Lives scholarship fund and created The NARM Study Method. Monica envisions a future where midwifery is not only accessible but also deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom.
