Mikki Bell

With more than a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum, Mikki brings a deep respect for physiologic birth together with comprehensive professional midwifery training. Mikki has really been preparing for this gifting her whole life. She jokes, "The first birth client I ever had was a momma sheep out on our family friend's farm in Colorado when I was 9 years old. That was the first birth I ever participated in and since then, I've been so enthralled with birth in every form." Before becoming a licensed midwife, Mikki gave birth to each of her three babies at home with midwives and also spent over a decade working as a birth doula and childbirth educator. Those experiences shaped her belief that families deserve individualized care, informed choices, and a provider who truly gets to know them. Today, she provides comprehensive home birth midwifery care to families throughout the South Bay and surrounding Los Angeles communities. As shown in evidenced based literature, she recognizes that for low-risk birth clients, birthing at home with a trained midwife is as safe or safer than birthing in a hospital in the US (Dahlen, 2019).

My dream home birth with my wonderful midwife Mikki! When I think about my birth, I genuinely feel like I could cry tears of joy. I light up talking about it because, even though my labor was intense and painful, I truly had my dream home birth. It was one of the most beautiful, powerful, peaceful, and empowering experiences of my life, and I know that so much of that is because I chose Mikki as my midwife! From the beginning, Mikki made me feel completely safe and confident in my body and in the process of birth. During labor, she somehow found the perfect balance between being completely present and giving my husband and me the space to labor freely. There was never a feeling of being rushed, interrupted, or told what I had to do. She allowed me to listen to my body and move through labor in whatever way felt right, while gently offering ideas when she thought something might help, getting into the birth pool, sitting on the toilet, changing positions, or offering homeopathy tailored to what I was experiencing (which was so helpful!). I never even had to ask. Mikki was simply paying attention and anticipating what I might need. As a first-time mom, I appreciated Mikki's guidance so much. Toward the end, she helped me understand where to direct my pushing - it was gentle guidance that helped me connect with what my body was already doing. At one point, Mikki recognized that my baby's head was almost, but not quite, in the ideal position. She had me move into puppy pose for three contractions, which was incredibly intense, but it gave my baby the opportunity to reposition to be born in the most optimal position. Shortly afterward, my baby was born, healthy and peacefully, right on our bed in our loving home. Mikki was so intentional and gentle during crowning and used olive oil throughout that part of the birth. I ended up having zero tearing, which still amazes me. (Pro tip: If your midwife isn't applying olive oil during crowning... find yourself one who does!!) My recovery has been wonderful, and I am so incredibly grateful for the care she gave my body while helping my baby into the world. After my baby was born, there was no rush. My baby was immediately placed on me and I had a completely uninterrupted golden hour. My placenta was still inside, my baby was on my chest, and everyone simply allowed us to be together. After about an hour, when we were ready, we cut the umbilical cord. My husband held our baby skin-to-skin while I birthed the placenta. Everything felt calm, peaceful, respectful, and unhurried. Throughout my entire labor, I never felt uncertainty from Mikki. She was calm and confident while continuously making sure both my baby and I were doing well. She and my second midwife Carolina thought of everything, food, water, electrolytes, a fan, different positions, comfort measures, while still somehow making it feel like they weren't interfering with my birth at all. That is one of the things I admire most about Mikki. She has such a deep sense of purpose in the work she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable and confident, but also calm, warm, and grounded. She knows when to step in, when to offer something, and when to simply give the space to the body do what it knows how to do. I truly believe the team you choose shapes the way you experience and remember your birth. Especially as a first-time mom, I could not have asked for a more positive or empowering entrance into motherhood. I am healthy, my baby is healthy, my recovery has been beautiful, and when I look back on his birth, I remember strength, love, peace, and how incredibly powerful I felt. Mikki helped create the space for my baby to enter this world peacefully, surrounded by people we trusted. I will forever be grateful to her for giving our family that experience. If you are looking for a midwife who deeply trusts birth and your body, who gives you space and autonomy while also having seemingly endless knowledge and several tricks up her sleeve when you need them, I could not recommend Mikki more wholeheartedly. What Mikki does truly feels like angel work. I will forever be grateful that she was my midwife, and I will rave about my birth to anyone who will listen for the rest of my life. It was truly magical.

Ashley is incredible! She is kind, nurturing, calm, and beyond supportive. I can't even imagine going through my second pregnancy and delivery without her. She made me feel so supported throughout the entire process, especially towards the end as I passed my due date and felt a lot of anxiety due to my 1st pregnancy trauma. Having Ashley be a part of my journey for my 2nd baby was the best decision I made, and I wish I would have known her during my first! During labor and delivery, she brought me so much comfort and confidence knowing she was there every step of the way and helped support me in decisions when things didn't go to plan. Even with a very tough labor and delivery, she made the experience positive and I am beyond grateful she was there. Without her, it would have not been a good experience based on my experience with the doctors and nurses at the hospital. She is an incredible person and professional, and I couldn't recommend her enough!!

“I’m an IBCLC and Certified Nurse Midwife with an independent practice providing both full-scope midwifery care and comprehensive lactation services across hospital and community settings. My lactation work spans the full clinical spectrum—from establishing breastfeeding in the immediate postpartum period to managing complex feeding challenges such as low milk supply, delayed lactogenesis, post-cesarean lactation, and infants with dysregulated feeding patterns. I have extensive experience in detailed newborn oral evaluation, including identification and functional assessment of anomalies such as ankyloglossia. I integrate these findings into individualized care plans and frequently collaborate with interdisciplinary providers for frenotomy when indicated, as well as provide structured pre- and post-procedural feeding support to optimize outcomes. My approach is evidence-based, highly individualized, and focused on measurable outcomes. I prioritize effective milk transfer, protection of maternal supply, and long-term sustainability of the breastfeeding relationship. My care plans often incorporate structured supplementation strategies—including the use of supplemental nursing systems to maintain feeding at the breast—alongside selective, clinically appropriate use of galactagogues. I place strong emphasis on ongoing reassessment and adjustment to ensure interventions remain effective. I also have experience supporting higher-risk dyads, including late preterm infants, NICU graduates, and cases involving maternal endocrine or perinatal factors impacting lactation. Working across both inpatient and community environments has given me a clear understanding of care transitions and the gaps families encounter after discharge, allowing me to provide more cohesive, continuous support. My midwifery background strengthens my ability to assess the full maternal–infant dyad and identify contributing factors early, supporting more efficient and durable lactation outcomes. I’m confident practicing autonomously and value strong collaboration within multidisciplinary teams, with a consistent focus on delivering practical, clinically sound, and patient-centered lactation care.”

2 days before I met Tayna I felt so hopeless in my breastfeeding journey. Thankfully I found her and that she took insurance. So, I set up an appointment, I can’t express just how much help and support she provided. After the first day with her I was back to breastfeeding and by my next appointment with her I gained my confidence back. Thank you so much Tayna, you have no idea the impact you made for me and my family❤️ also to mention she makes house calls which are so helpful those first few days postpartum.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Birth Story Listener. I felt called to work with birth as a young adult, and love helping folks prepare for and navigate their birth journeys, as well as their relationship to their birth stories. My goal is to help birthing people find an empowered way through whatever comes up for them, and for them to feel supported and seen throughout the process. I also enjoy homeschooling my kids, teaching theater classes, singing in my community choir, and working for a local organic farm at the farmers market in Claremont!

I worked with Stephanie prenatally, during labor/delivery, and postpartum too. She was wonderful to work with, a great listener, guided me and my husband well through what we could expect with having our first child, supported me through my various anxieties, and really showed up for us during labor. She was a vital advocate for me while I was at the hospital. She is knowledgable about Spinning Babies (and has received their training), did a visualization exercise with my husband and I in thinking about the unknowns of parenthood and embracing all that was to come, and she was ready and prepared to support us when she came to the hospital. She supported me emotionally and physically through early labor and all the various interventions that became necessary because I was not dilating and my labor was not progressing. Loved working with Stephanie and would recommend her to anyone for support during the birth or new mom phase of life.
