About me

I am a homebirth midwife located in East Los Angeles. My goal for my clients is for them to feel educated in the world of birth, empowered in their experience, and safe with me as their provider. I spent most of my young life in Guangzhou, China where my family cared for orphaned newborns. After high school I found a maternity clinic in the Philippines offering midwifery training and began my journey there. After completing an accelerated program, I moved to California and became licensed with the Medical Board of CA. I worked in birth centers to gain further experience, then stepped fully into my own homebirth practice where my passion lies. I love homebirth. It offers endless opportunity to find personalized ways to care for and build trust with my clients. Homebirth and all the care leading up to it is holistic, it's intimate, and it's completely unique to each person's story.

Service introduction

I offer full in-home prenatal care including regular hour-long, family-centered visits, any labwork needed, nutritional education and birth prep, and assessment of mom and baby. I also offer support during labor and birth, and I bring with me all equipment that may be needed. Following the birth, I offer 6 weeks of postpartum care for both mom and baby as well as providing documents needed for the birth certificate and social security. I also provide well woman exams, including bloodwork and pap smears. Lastly, I offer birth processing and debriefing sessions; this comes with the package for my clients, but I also offer it as a separate service for people who deliver with outside providers.

Bekah is the ideal midwife — so professional and informative while also being incredible calming, kind, and thoughtful. She was there for me leading up to and all through my daughter’s birth, which had come with unexpected challenges but ended up as joyfully and peacefully as I had always hoped. In the days and weeks that followed with my newborn, Bekah was so supportive, both for me and my daughter, making sure we had what we needed and answering my every question. I highly recommend Bekah as a midwife to bless your birth experience!
