Fredi Weitzel - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Fredi

Hi mamas, partners, and soon-to-be parents! I'm Fredi, a birth doula located in Los Angeles. As an ecologist by training, I am so grateful to have wandered into the world of birth work — it's this deeply personal, synergetic work that draws me in and feels like a natural union of my passions and gifts. Birth amazes me in its physiology, in how it connects us so clearly to the natural world, and in the way it illuminates our true power as women. I'd be honored to support you during the momentous rites of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, no matter your birth preferences. I offer 3 comprehensive birth packages and will negotiate sliding scale options for those interested.
