Dara DeSoto LM, CPM, Clinic Midwife
Dara DeSoto has dedicated over 13 years to supporting families across Orange County and San Diego as a birth and postpartum doula. Throughout her career, she has had the privilege of attending hundreds of births, honoring each family's unique journey across hospital, home, and birth center settings.
Driven by a lifelong dream to practice midwifery, Dara enrolled at Mercy In Action College of Midwifery in 2021 — coincidentally, the same year her daughter began her own university journey. Her path serves as a personal testament to her belief that it is never too late to pursue one’s heart’s desire. After earning her Bachelor of Science in Midwifery, Dara completed intensive training at a high-volume birth center and is now a Licensed Midwife in both California and Idaho.
Dara is deeply committed to the safety of community birth and the power of collaborative care. She approaches every family with compassion, clarity, and respect, rooted in a firm belief in the innate strength of birthing people. A longtime friend of Acorn Community Birth and Wellness Center, she finds immense joy in serving the families of its community.
Today, Dara balances her time as a Clinical Midwife at Acorn with her own private home birth practice. Outside of her midwifery work, she has been married to her husband for 30 years; together, they share the joy of four young adult children and one grandchild.
