My philosophy is that judgement and restriction has no place in birth work. I'm not here to tell you what to do or turn my nose up at you for what you choose not to do.

I began my doula journey in 2021 and currently have a partnership with a hospital in Torrance, CA. I am still working towards my labor doula certification with CAPPA and plan on submitting all required paperwork by fall 2024. Considering that I am still working on my certification I am still working on building the additional skills I would be able to offer, for now I will be focusing on emotional/educational support regarding what is happening to your body and movements/positions that may provide moments of relief in between contractions. I feel it is important to note that in no way am I coming in to fill the role of a supportive partner but rather someone who can give pointers and be a source of support for both soon to be parents. Another talent that I feel comfortable offering would be to take pictures of the birth or just after, considering I used to be a PhotoPass Photographer at Disneyland.

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.

Hey hey! I’m Dairian. I've been an occupational therapist (OT) since 2013 and a lactation consultant (IBCLC) since 2021. Maternal health and infant health are intricately linked, and my mission is to provide comprehensive support that acknowledges this connection. I pursued additional training as a postpartum doula to complement my OT background. I specialize in lactation, infant feeding, and infant development. Within this, I typically address concerns like tongue ties and bottle refusal and offer manual therapy/bodywork such as craniosacral therapy and myofascial release.

I am a birth doula and a Spinning Babies Parent Educator. It is a great honor to hold space for women and support families throughout pregnancy and birth.

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.

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.

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.
