Hi, I’m Maia! I’m a Los Angeles based certified and dedicated birth and postpartum doula, committed to empowering families through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. I began my journey with a strong desire to help women from all walks of life. This passion gradually evolved into a keen interest in pregnancy and childbirth, sparking my aspiration to become a midwife. While currently pursuing my degree, I realized I couldn't wait any longer to start supporting women during their pregnancies. Alongside my passion, I bring qualities like willingness, compassion, empathy, dedication, patience, understanding, and adaptability that I believe are crucial for helping women. So, I took action and became a certified birth doula. Now, here we are—you're looking for a doula, and I'm hoping we can work together and share the incredible journey to parenthood.

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation educator and infant sleep educator. My commitment as a doula is to ensure you have the birth you envision.

Hi! I’m Isabel, a doula and lactation counselor working with families in LA. I graduated from UC Berkeley with degrees in Biology and Social Welfare and trained as a doula through Cornerstone Doula Trainings. My philosophy is centered on supporting my clients every step of the way to feel empowered, strong and supported through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I want clients to have information and resources to confidently explore their choices and find what works for them and their family. My academic background in science equips me with a solid foundation for providing evidence-based support which I believe goes hand-in-hand with an understanding of the social, emotional, and transformational parts of birth work that makes individualized support so important. In my free time, I like to be outside as much as possible. I love to spend time in the ocean, run, and hike. I also love to read, sew, cook, and bake!
