Bio:
Ana Muñoz is the founder of Mind & Body Motherhood, a sacred space redefining how women experience care through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.
With over a decade in the birth world as a licensed massage therapist, certified hypnosis practitioner, and doula, Ana bridges nervous system science with embodied support—offering a revolutionary approach to the childbearing year that centers rest, ritual, and unapologetic softness.
Her work is devoted to helping mothers feel deeply supported—not because they earned it, but because it's their birthright. Through in-person sessions, digital resources like the Prenatal Massage Blueprint, and her ever-evolving vision for mentoring fellow birth workers, Ana is leading the Receptive Era: where support is sacred, and softness is a strategy.
When she’s not guiding women back into their bodies, she’s soaking up slow mornings, sacred walks, and mama magic with her daughter in Central Florida. She’s also a proud member of the Central Florida Birth Network, advocating for collaborative, heart-led care in the maternal wellness space.
