About me

I believe in sacredness of coming into parenthood and want to protect it, so that it can unfold in an undisturbed way, as much as possible, and this includes pregnancy, birth, and the ever-so- vulnerable postpartum period. I also believe that the birthing person is the only one who has the authority to make decisions about their body and their baby because I know that those decision will be the best ones for them at that given moment. This leaves no space for judgment; only support and respect.

Service introduction

We are 3 doulas who offer holistic doula care in Los Angeles. We are founded in a commitment to comprehensive care and community for your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey. What if instead of feeling overwhelmed by shoulds, you felt excited by the coulds in your pregnancy and birth? In hospitals, at home or in a birth center, families in our care often use the words “calm” and “confident” when they describe the way they feel when they work with us. We help you tune into your own needs and values in birth, leading to a more meaningful and peaceful experience. Get in touch with us! We would love to hear more about what you want from your birth experience. We offer labor support, postpartum support, placenta encapsulation, belly binding. Our clients enjoy the benefit of community prenatal workshops, and ongoing community meet ups and support.
