Hello families! My name is Mariah and I am a primarily postpartum doula! I specialize in helping families during this special transition. It is my goal to give the support that parents and baby need to help mom be in optimal health to bond with your new bundle of joy.

The birth of a baby (or babies) is a powerful and meaningful moment of transition for a birthing person. Birth is natural, normal, and instinctual. Nurturing support throughout the process of birth should be available to everyone. I’ve loved caring for new families since I was young. In 2009, I was asked to help my youngest sister with her birth as a doula. At that time, I read books and spoke to other doulas in preparation for supporting my sister during her daughter’s birth. I loved the experience and followed my dream of becoming a doula. I am a trained birth and postpartum doula. I have experience with medicated, unmedicated, home and hospital births. I am also a certified Integral Coach, certified through New Ventures West in San Francisco. Integral coaching is life coaching for the whole person ⁠— head, heart, and body. My experience with coaching people during significant life changes enhances my ability to guide families through birth and beyond. I am the mother to two beautiful boys and one amazing son-in-law. They are my WORLD! I love doing anything with my family. I love creating and experiencing art in all forms, I love swimming and walking my dog.

Hello! I’m Margot, a certified postpartum doula with nearly 15 years of experience in childcare. I bring over 8 years of professional nanny and infant care experience to my role, having cared for children from newborns to 11 years old in both formal and informal settings. I hold a degree in Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and Child Development, which has guided me towards my current role as a postpartum doula. I received my certification from BADT in 2023 and have maintained a CPR/First Aid certification for over a decade. My background equips me to support families through various developmental stages, including those with disabilities, and I am committed to offering personalized care and respite during the postpartum period. My goal is to ease the transition for families, ensuring they receive the support and understanding they need.

My name is Jalyn and I am a holistically trained full-spectrum doula! My contribution to birthwork is an extension of my spiritual practice that creates a sacred and safe space for truth, radically honest storytelling, generational karmic clearing, sovereign decision making, incorporating forgotten herbal and ancestral practices, reinforcing the importance of community support, and my capacity to support parents in a way that encompasses their holistic wellbeing before, during, and after birth (or in the midst of a loss)-- and that of course includes plenty of recalibration and restoration during such a major lifestyle transformation. Because I believe a village is essential to properly fulfill the needs of both parents and baby, my role of thoroughly educating parents about their birthrights and birthing options, helping create prenatal/birth/postpartum plans that align with the parents desired experience, and offering mental, spiritual, and practical assistance to families makes me an essential innovator in this beautiful community. I am proudly born and raised in South Central Los Angeles and my journey has been inspired by the stories of beautiful Black families in my community, both tragic and revolutionary! Alongside having a background in spiritual and shamanic facilitation , I also have 1+ years of experience with child care/live-in full time nannying, light tutoring, pet care, and home care. In my personal time I love to create art through various mediums of expression (painting, crochet, etc), create short films documenting my journey of evolution, and uplift the vibration of the collective around me by sharing wisdom based upon my personal experiences as a 26 year old! I intend to give women and families a safe space to express their truths-- no matter how raw or unconventional.

I am certified by DONA International and have worked with many families using carrot benefits so I’m familiar with the process. Aside from being a birth and postpartum doula I am also a lactation and parent educator. I can provide guidance and help with breastfeeding, pumping, storing milk and if needed supplementing with formula. My approach is to meet each family needs, to offer the education and provide different options and let family decide what works best and go from there. There’s no right or wrong way to do things.

I am a postpartum doula and baby nurse with 10+ years of experience caring for infants, children, and adults in both hospital and home settings. Previously, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in the Pediatrics, Postpartum, and Oncology units at Providence Saint John's and Cedars Sinai. Most recently, I've transitioned to working primarily in home settings. Being a CNA has increased my knowledge of overall health, physical fitness, and patient care for all ages. Caring for others is rewarding and fulfilling, which is why I continue to seek positions that will allow me to render the quality of care and compassion for which I am trained and gifted to provide. I've cared for a wide range of children ranging in age from newborn to fourteen years old. My passion for becoming a Postpartum Doula grew from my years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant in the Oncology department, where I cared for patients through their end-of-life journeys. While this work was deeply meaningful, it also inspired me to seek the joy and hope found in birth. I am now excited to join Happy Mama Healthy, where I can build relationships with more mothers and families, and make a positive impact in the world of birth work. I’d love to be able to continue the conversation with you to learn more about the role and see how my skills can help your family. Thank you for your consideration.
