Hello, I'm Cierria Leyazhié or you may call me Apache, and I believe birth is one of God’s moweesst beautiful and sacred calls. My passion is supporting mothers not just through the physical act of labor, but through the profound spiritual and energetic transformation it demands. My approach is built on three distinct pillars: Pillar 1: Christ-Centered Care & Hypnobirthing: I equip you with Scriptural affirmations, prayerful grounding techniques, and Christian Hypnobirthing methods—helping you replace fear and tension with profound relaxation and faith, working toward a gentler, less painful birth experience. Pillar 2: Ayurvedic Wisdom & Doula Training: My commitment to holistic health is backed by rigorous education from the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS), where I earned certifications as an Ayurvedic Wellness Educator and Ayurvedic Health Practitioner. I then completed my full-spectrum doula training with the Sankofa Birthing Collective. I guide mothers toward balanced health, focusing heavily on Vata-pacifying principles—the ancient practice of using warmth, nourishment, and deep rest for true physical and nervous system recovery during the crucial 42-day postpartum period. Pillar 3: Advanced Lactation & Education: As a Certified Lactation Educator who is actively working to complete requirements to become an IBCLC, I provide high-level, up-to-date, evidence-based childbirth and feeding education, ensuring you have the practical tools and specialized knowledge necessary for an empowered birth and a successful breastfeeding start. Whether through Ayurvedic food guidance, gentle herbal recommendations, or prayerful presence, I am here to help you experience a birth that is peaceful, powerful, and deeply honoring of your body and your faith.

I’m Allie Rose, a passionate and dedicated doula inspired by my own journey into motherhood. One of my biggest joys in life is my first born, my daughter, Quincy Rose. Her birth was a transformative experience—long, unexpected, and profoundly impactful. It was through this experience that I found my calling to support others during their own unique birth journeys. Shortly after Quincy was born, I immersed myself in the world of birth work by completing my first doula training. From that moment on, I’ve been honored to attend births and walk alongside families during one of the most intimate and powerful times in their lives. With the mindset that one can never learn enough, I’ve continually expanded my knowledge, most recently studying at Bini Birth, the leading child birth educators in Los Angeles which is DONA International approved. I also regularly attend doula gatherings and conferences to stay up-to-date and connected with my vibrant birth community. Beyond supporting births, I find deep joy in cooking and the nourishing connections it fosters. This passion drives my postpartum services, where I help new families nurture both their bodies and spirits as they navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a newborn. I truly believe in the power of community, and I'd be honored to be a part of your village. Let’s connect and talk about how I can best support you as you begin this incredible journey.

"Choosing Allie Rose as our birth doula and postpartum doula was hands down the best decision we made for the arrival of our first bundle of joy! From the moment we connected, Allie's warm and nurturing presence put us completely at ease. As our birth doula, she was an unwavering source of strength and calm, providing invaluable emotional and physical support that helped us navigate labor with confidence. Then, during the postpartum period, her gentle guidance, practical help, and knowledgeable insights were truly exemplary. She helped us find our footing as new parents, ensuring we felt seen, supported, and cared for during such a tender time. We are incredibly grateful for Allie Rose's expertise and compassionate care. She truly made our journey into parenthood a more joyful and peaceful experience. We can't recommend her enough!"

I believe that it is a huge step to trust in yourself and body in order to bring your baby earth side. You step into another mind-space and you have to allow yourself to walk through the toughest moment of your life. You may forget all of the preparations you been learning, and only do one thing the entire time, but guess what, you did it. You did what felt right for you in every step of the way. You control what you need and only you will know what’s best for you. Hi, I’m Daisy and I am the birthkeeper that supports every decision you want to make, and it sounds cliché but it’s true. My opinion doesn’t matter when it comes to your decision making, only the suggestions and knowledge behind what options you have and the choice you want to make. I’m here for you.

Matrescence::: Embracing your journey of Motherhood I guide women through the unknown and chaotic journey, called birth. I am a compassionate guide offering soothing wisdom and expert support. My specialty is being a safe space for mothers to heal from past birth trauma. I help mothers reclaim their power and embody confidence for the next birth. ensuring parents feel seen, supported and ready to thrive. After my first born, I immediately knew that my birth experience was something amazing, transformational and empowering. I just didnt have the words, but after my first doula training I could better put it in a much richer context and support other mothers, pre-conception through postpartum. Over the next years I shared my story and supported mothers in my community as a doula. Eventually working as a full time postpartum doula, I realized a major barrier was during the breastfeediing journey. I followed my passion in nurturing mothers into their new normal, with confidence, comfort and compassion while training to become a lactation lactation consultant. I am now an expert wombkeeper- Waterbirth & Postpartum Doula, Afterbirth Restorative Therapist, International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) just to name a few. I find much pleasure and joy in nurturing new families as they discover, connect and create their family culture around the couplet. The cornerstone of my practice honors each mother’s unique journey of matrescence, the experience of becoming a mother. My resassuring, soothing wisdom and expert skills cultivate a visceral connection and safe space for new parents. I have traveled, trained and supported mothers internationally through pregnancy, labor/birth and breastfeeding. My signature, Afterbith Restorative Therapy Methods, support the new mother with restorative practices like belly binding, V-Steam, closing of the bones, as a time/space to reflect on their birth experiences. The Afterbirth Restorative Therapy Method not only provides a new mother with a greater sense of well-being; the new mother is better to care for herself and her new baby.

We just had our first baby. It turned out to be a great choice to have Renee as our doula. We had two fruitful prenatal sessions to prepare a thorough birth plan and to practice various techniques for coping with contractions and pushing effectively. She was also very helpful through my whole laboring process. With her help, I managed to make sensible decisions about medical interventions and had a memorable laboring experience without regret.

I am from a long line of montessori certified child development specialist. for as long as I can remember I've been a natural caregiver, building that into a passionate career was an easy choice. (plus...cuddling babies!) through my training and experience I've become an expert in child development and learned the importance of providing newborns with the building blocks to form strong loving attachments, healthy sleep habits, and a routine that helps both baby and family thrive. I am a montessori trained NCS and in my 5 years of services as an overnight doula my clients never fail to express too me how much my love, consideration, and comforting guidance has impacted their families lives. I believe love and secure attachment in all aspects of babies life is key to healthy development. It is my honor to join in the care of your new family!

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.

My childcare philosophy centers on creating a calm, loving, and supportive environment where both babies and parents can thrive. I believe that responsive, gentle care builds a foundation of trust and security for infants, while empowering parents with confidence and rest during the early days of parenthood. Every family is unique, and I approach each home with flexibility, empathy, and respect for individual values and rhythms. My goal is to nurture not just the baby. Still, the entire family unit, offering practical help, emotional reassurance, and peaceful routines that make the transition into new parenthood feel manageable and joyful.
