About Me

Welcome! I’m Ana Ruiz Corona, and I’m so grateful you're here today.

I am a first-generation Mexican-American, born and raised in California—specifically on Tongva Land, now known as the Inland Empire. My roots run deep in Zacatecas, Mexico, where my ancestors come from, and I am proud to honor this rich heritage. My journey into midwifery began in 2015, but the seeds for this calling were planted much earlier.

Growing up, I always knew about my paternal grandmother, Magdalena Ruiz, who we lovingly called “Mama Nena.” She was the town midwife in her community in Mexico and cared for the people not only during birth but also for their healing needs. As one of the first traditional midwives to undergo professional nursing training in her town, she was a pioneer, and her legacy has always inspired me.

However, it wasn’t until I randomly stumbled across a YouTube video of a homebirth that I felt a deep, undeniable calling to become a midwife myself. It was as though Mama Nena was guiding me to follow in her footsteps—and that’s when everything clicked. I knew that this was my path: to accompany families on their birthing journeys with gentle love, support, and knowledge.

In addition to my professional journey, I carry myself with a loving, calm, gentle, and warm energy. It’s just who I am at my core. I’ve always been drawn to nature, and some of my favorite things to do are explore the outdoors, swim in the ocean, and bask in the sunshine. As a summer baby, my happy place will always be by the water, soaking up the warmth and beauty of nature. My family and friends would describe me as having the biggest heart and a love for laughter.

I also love to try new outdoor activities and travel whenever I can. So far, my adventures have taken me to Mexico, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Hawaii—and I hope to keep fulfilling my love for travel and discovering new places. I also have a sweet little pup named Miley, a miniature schnauzer, who brings so much joy to my life. On my days off, I’m often spending time with her, caring for her, and enjoying her playful company.

This past October, I married my best friend, and I am over the moon about starting a family of my own. It’s an exciting chapter in my life, and I’m thrilled to continue sharing this journey with you, supporting you as you grow your own family.
