Valerie Lynn Postpartum Doula in Laguna Beach, CA

About Valerie

Hello, and Welcome! I’m Valerie Lynn, a certified postpartum doula and certified in holistic postpartum recovery practices specializing in providing comprehensive night and day support to families as they transition into parenthood. With over 20 years of experience in Southeast Asia, I bring the wisdom of Eastern postpartum recovery practices directly to your home. Night Support I provide specialized night support focused on nurturing baby care and sleep conditioning. My goal is to empower parents to recognize when their baby is ready to self-soothe, fostering independent sleep habits that help your baby achieve 8 to 10 hours of restful sleep by three months. For mothers, I offer calming lactation support to ensure that night feeds are smooth and restful, promoting a more peaceful night's sleep for everyone. Day Support My day support combines expert baby care, lactation assistance, and holistic recovery services for mothers. These services are tailored to support both vaginal and cesarean births, helping to accelerate recovery. • For Vaginal and Cesarean Births: My holistic postpartum services include soothing body massage to reduce fluid retention in the abdomen, reset the nervous system, balance postpartum hormones, and improve breast milk production. I also offer specialized abdominal wrapping and nutritious meal preparation. • You can wrap after Cesarean Births: I use a unique abdominal wrap that protects your incision while encouraging fluid release and comfort. My clients love the gentle support it provides. Combination of Night and Day Support For the ultimate in care, you can combine night and day support. This approach ensures you get the rest you need while accelerating your recovery by up to 40% faster than typical U.S. standards. Prenatal Services Our holistic care can begin during pregnancy to alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, joint aches, and swelling caused by fluid retention. Through targeted treatments, we help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy journey. Postpartum Emotions I understand firsthand how overwhelming postpartum emotions can be. After the birth of my son 17 years ago, I faced postpartum anxiety and OCD. Through a combination of holistic recovery services and in-home support services, I found my way back to balance. For over 15 years, I've been the International Coordinator for Southeast Asia with Postpartum Support International, and I am deeply committed to helping others through their own postpartum journeys with empathy, understanding, and care. You don’t have to face this alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. My Approach and Background With two decades in Southeast Asia, I am extensively trained in Eastern postpartum recovery treatments. Together, we’ll create a personalized postpartum plan that aligns with your expectations and needs. My holistic body care services include feminine-focused treatments, such as massage, womb repositioning, abdominal wrapping, feminine wash and herbal baths. I also offer unique products from Southeast Asia that are exclusively available to my clients. Mother’s Recovery from Pregnancy and Birth Your healing journey is unique, and while you may not need every holistic service or product I offer, they are always available to you as your recovery unfolds. Think of them as essential tools in your toolbox — ready to support you whenever you need them. Additional Services • Breastfeeding support, baby massage, babywearing, and sleep conditioning. • Virtual recovery coaching, complete with herbal product care sets, usage charts, and instructional videos. • I am the author of two postpartum recovery books, including a cookbook. I provide meal preparation services to support your nutritional needs. Simply put My clients recover stronger, healthier, and more balanced, often in significantly less time than is typical in the U.S. Let’s Connect!
