Melanie Gardner

26 years of experience

With over twenty five years' experience as an NCS(newborn care specialist), CPPD(certified postpartum doula), & Certified Lactation Educator Counselor, I aspire to be a calming, nonjudgmental and supportive presence for parents during the first few weeks/months with their newborn(s). I do this with kind and straightforward coaching and assistance in lactation, newborn care, sleep facilitation and other areas of a new baby's development. Looking forward to helping you navigate the start of your exciting journey into parenthood.

Our experience with Melanie was nothing short of exceptional. Melanie was our NCS from the day our son was born until 6 months of age. She truly operated as the Lead NCS for our household, setting the standard for everyone else and ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. Her level of organization was outstanding. Melanie was always proactive about keeping me informed on anything that needed restocking and made sure our home was consistently well prepared and fully supplied. Melanie’s commitment to hygiene and safety was a huge stand out for us. She maintained the highest standards of cleanliness in caring for our newborn and was incredibly diligent about safe sleep practices at all times, which gave us real peace of mind. Every night, she provided thoughtful, consistent updates so we always knew exactly how our son was doing. Melanie also took the initiative to organize and coordinate the nightly schedule between myself and the other staff, ensuring everyone was aligned and that care was consistent. All of our son’s feeding, sleeping, and changing items were always perfectly organized and ready, making everything feel effortless. Beyond technical skills, Melanie brought a level of professionalism and leadership that elevated our entire household. She truly ran a well-managed, attentive, and calm environment for our son, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and structure she provided during such an important time. We hope to have her back for baby #2!

Lisa Esteban, PCD(DONA), CLES

2 years of experience

My name is Lisa and I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula (DONA), Certified Lactation Educator Specialist (CLES), and Certified Prenatal Yoga Teacher serving the Los Angeles South Bay, Westside and surrounding areas. I provide nurturing, informed care, assistance, and resources to you, your baby and family as you navigate the postpartum period. As your postpartum doula, my goal is to provide physical and emotional support through what is undoubtedly one of the most profoundly transformational and magical periods of your life. I want you to feel nourished, confident, and empowered to tune in to your own intuition and trust your instincts.

I truly can’t imagine those first nine weeks without Lisa. She knows exactly what she’s there for and is incredibly attentive, observant, and always one step ahead. As a first-time mom, those first few weeks felt like the most vulnerable and fragile time of my life. You’re suddenly responsible for this tiny human, but you have no idea what you’re doing. It honestly felt like being dropped into the middle of a huge ocean, just trying to figure out which direction to swim. Lisa was the person I truly depended on during that time. She gave me a sense of direction when I felt completely lost and slowly helped me build the confidence to care for my baby on my own. Even now, months later, I still find myself using so much of what she taught me. What I learned from her during those first weeks has stayed with me long after her time with us ended. Beyond taking care of my baby, Lisa made me feel so genuinely cared for and loved. She truly sees you and listens to you. I always felt safe talking to her and simply being around her, and that meant so much to me during such a vulnerable time. And I HAVE to mention her lactation muffins because they are seriously the best!! Her baking completely satisfied my sweet tooth during those early postpartum weeks. As a huge foodie and someone who appreciates food that is both delicious and nourishing, I loved all the little snacks she would make for me. When you’re breastfeeding and constantly hungry, having someone make you something with so much care honestly feels like such a blessing. Every day before Lisa left, we would come up with a little strategy for how I could get through the rest of the day and night without her. I remember sometimes feeling so overwhelmed by the thought of the night ahead, wondering if I was going to get any sleep. Lisa would always reassure me and remind me, “I’ll be back tomorrow morning to take care of you.” Hearing that helped ease so much of my anxiety. Those first weeks with a newborn are filled with so much uncertainty and unpredictability, and simply knowing she would be back the next morning gave me something to hold onto through the harder nights. I feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have had Lisa be such a big part of this chapter of my life. I will never forget how deeply she cared for both me and my boy. We were so, so well taken care of, and she will always hold such a special place in my heart.

Momo Bass

7 years of experience

Hello everyone, my name is Momo Bass and I am a certified birth doula as well as a trained postpartum doula that serves the greater Los Angeles and Pasadena area. Aside from doing this rewarding work for a while, I am also a mama myself, to three amazing kiddos! When I'm not cheering on my kids at soccer practice, you'll likely find me tending to my ever-growing houseplant collection, or tending to myself at the gym. But my true passion lies in supporting families embarking on their incredible birthing journey. Motherhood is what threw me into the thralls of what it means to bring life into this world. It's this firsthand knowledge, coupled with my relentless curiosity about the miracle of birth and the transition into becoming a parent, that led me to become a birth and postpartum doula. Bringing my kiddos earth side became my superpower, and it’s become my mission to ignite that same fire in the families I work with. I believe that starts with finding judgment-free informational and emotional support, and I believe it starts when parents take back control of how their labor & postpartum experience goes by making informed decisions on what’s best for yourself and your growing family. “Everyone wants to hold the baby, but who will hold the mother/parents?” As a birth and postpartum doula, I will!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Monique as my co-doula, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional professional. Momo brings warmth, compassion, and unwavering dedication to every family she supports. Her calm demeanor and intuitive ability to anticipate the needs of both birthing parents and their partners make her a reliable and invaluable presence during such an important time. Working with Momo, I’ve seen firsthand how her knowledge, experience, and genuine care create a safe and empowering space for her clients. She has a natural gift for fostering connection and ensuring her clients feel heard, supported, and respected throughout their journey. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Momo by their side. She’s not just a doula but a true advocate and companion for the families she serves. Warmly, Maia S

Jade Thomas

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every woman who goes into labor should feel equipped, with knowledge, love, support, connection, and deep trust in herself. I meet each person where they are, honoring their unique beliefs and vision for birth. I don't care how you choose to birth; I only care that you get to keep your power and feel fully supported in your own beliefs about birth. My role is never to direct your path, but to walk beside you with steady support and trustworthy information so you feel confident and connected every step of the way. Overall, my goal is to help you feel equipped, empowered, and supported, holding onto your power as you bring your baby into the world.

As an immigrant from Turkey with no family nearby, my first pregnancy felt overwhelming at times. I often felt alone, and having Jade by my side made all the difference—she truly became the support system I needed. My biggest dream was to have an unmedicated vaginal birth. Throughout my pregnancy, Jade prepared us both physically and mentally. She explained every stage of labor with so much detail and confidence that by the time labor began, we felt completely ready. I arrived at the hospital at 8:00 a.m., and by 9:33 a.m., I was holding my beautiful daughter in my arms. I gave birth naturally without an epidural or any pain medication. Even though my pregnancy was considered high-risk, I was able to have the birth I had hoped for, and I truly believe Jade’s knowledge, guidance, and unwavering support played a huge role in making that possible. What makes Jade so special goes far beyond her expertise. She was always available to answer my questions, calm my fears, and remind me to trust my body. She gave me confidence when I needed it most. If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely cares about you and your birth experience, I cannot recommend Jade enough. She helped make one of the most important days of my life more beautiful than I ever imagined, and I will always be grateful for everything she did for my family.

Curtrelle Rawls

I’m Curtrelle! Your Certified Doula, and Lactation Educator! Nice to meet you! I am an adventurer, fitness and wellness enthusiast, foodie, intermediate snowboarder, and a Registered Nurse of 10+ years, with a passion for service and maternal and public health equity. My mission? To empower you and your family as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. To make sure your birth and postpartum plans are clearly communicated. My method? Providing wrap-around, holistic, and evidence-based support and education. My why? We deserve BETTER! Birthing people, ESPECIALLY, Black, Indigenous, POC, and LBGTQ+, deserve better birthing outcomes! As a health equity and justice advocate, I believe in safe, sacred, collaborative, and informed birthing experiences for ALL birthing people, whether it be inside or outside of the hospital.

Working with Curtrelle made my birthing experience so much better than I could’ve imagined. As a first time mom, I was overwhelmed with the amount of information I was receiving from doctors, relatives and my social media. Curtrelle was instrumental in keeping both my partner and I calm, informed, and hopeful throughout the entire birthing process. Her techniques, presence and overall explanation of the process beforehand during and after were incredibly helpful for two new parents who felt lost in a sea of information. We truly feel she was the reason we had such a great birthing experience and we loved her demeanor not just with us, but with the people we decided to include in the process as well. I highly recommend anyone looking for a doula that is informed, calming, reassuring, and overall great person to work with Curtrelle.

Kayla Treffinger

I am a doula and certified breastfeeding specialist with NICU experience as a nurse. I provide daytime postpartum doula support and am now also offering birth support. I strongly believe that new parents and their children do not receive enough support. The saying "it takes a village" exists for a reason. I know that most of us don't have a village, but I would be happy to be a part of yours.

Kayla was an absolute lifesaver during those early weeks postpartum. From the moment she came into our home, she went above and beyond to care for not only my newborn, but for me, my toddlers, and our entire household. She regularly checked in on me emotionally and made sure I was truly taking care of myself—reminding me to drink water, eat nourishing snacks, rest when I could, and giving me the support and reassurance I needed during such a vulnerable and overwhelming season. Her lactation support was also incredibly helpful and gave me confidence and guidance when I needed it most. What made Kayla so exceptional was that she understood that postpartum care is about the whole family. She helped with my newborn, entertained and cared for my toddlers, helped keep the house running smoothly, and even made sure our fridge was stocked with nourishing meals so I could focus on healing, bonding with my baby, and getting through those long days. She brought such a calming, comforting presence into our home. She anticipated needs before I even had to ask, offered encouragement without judgment, and made me feel genuinely cared for. Having someone there who could say, “Have you eaten? Have you had water? How are you feeling?” while also helping with the kids and household was invaluable. Kayla is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, dependable, and intuitive. She didn’t just support my baby—she supported me as a mother. And that made all the difference. I truly cannot recommend Kayla enough to any new or growing family. If you are considering postpartum doula or lactation support, hire her. You will be so grateful you did. 🤍

My Journey in Newborn care started way before I had my son, began back in 2018. I was introduced to an amazing family who needed the extra help overnight and I took up the opportunity as I knew I was more than cable of helping out the family in this new season. The family really opened up my eyes to an amazing opportunity of being able to help families with new babies. I was fascinated and took a leap of faith to start my own business as a New Born Care Specialist. I got certified and never looked back. Had my baby boy three years later and dove back into my business, as an ever better NCS because I now had a better and deeper understanding what it was like to come from the hospital with a new baby. I fell in love deeper with my job and got certified as a Postpartum Doula, furthering my education in the postpartum world. I'm now a newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and a breastfeeding specialist. I'm Constantly continuing my education in newborn and postpartum care. I've worked with singles, multiples, and babies with special needs. I offer personalized care for every single one of my families depending on their wants and unique needs.

Alejandra was an absolute godsend during my postpartum journey. Her calm, nurturing presence made those overwhelming early weeks feel manageable and even beautiful. She supported my daughter, helped with the baby duties, and reminded me to care for myself — all with kindness and expertise. I truly don’t know how I would’ve done it without her. My daughter’s sleep schedule now is amazing and I know it was from her doula support. Highly, highly recommend!

Aysha-Samon Stokes

Birth & Postpartum Doula I have been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum since long before I had the language for it formally serving as a doula since 2021, but showing up for birthing people in my community for years before that. Birth work found me through my own pregnancies (c-section) unmedicated V back and unmedicated water birth vbac mama my background in education. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, I’ve always been drawn to caring for the whole child and family. Each of my births deepened my commitment to this work, and I’m passionate about supporting women who look like me in spaces where we are often the only ones. I’m a super big supporter of Vbacs They are my favorite. I currently work with Kindred Space LA, Frontline Doulas, and the Irth App, supporting families through birth, postpartum, belly binding, and babywearing. An avid breastfeeder myself nursing each of my children for 3 years I bring lived experience and practical support to feeding journeys. My practice centers education, cultural affirmation, and hands on care.

Aysha SHOWED UP for me! I’m honestly not sure how my birth would have gone without her support! We laughed. We walked. We squatted. We twerked. I cried. She held me. Reminded me that i was capable. Postpartum was rough this go round and she was there, prepping meals, cleaning, teaching my toddler essential life skills, making sure she saw me drinking my water and taking my vitamins. She feels like a best friend I’ve known for many years. I’m so grateful and i can’t say it enough💗

I'm a full spectrum doula, lactation educator, and childbirth educator with more than 20 years of experience supporting families.

Michelle is amazing! She truly changed my birthing experience and really helped me experience the birth I desired. I called her last minute for support and she was with me every step of the way. Help help was so priceless! When I was ready to throw in the towel she coached me to bring my baby earthside in a vaginal birth after cesarean. She knew the impact of pain medication the nurses were offering. She gave me information in the heat of a moment and supported me every way! I am truly blessed to have had Michelle Sanders as my birth doula. I will never ever ever forget my experience! Highly recommended!

Hi, I'm Nikki, founder of Maternalaide and a postpartum doula and Certified Nursing Assistant specializing in newborn and postpartum care. I support families during the early weeks and months after bringing baby home, with a particular focus on overnight newborn care, feeding support, healthy sleep foundations, and helping parents feel confident caring for their new baby. My approach is calm, practical, and personalized. Whether I'm caring for baby overnight so parents can get restorative sleep, helping establish sustainable routines, supporting feeding, or guiding new parents through the everyday questions that come with newborn life, my goal is to make the transition home feel more manageable and supported. I serve families throughout Manhattan Beach and the surrounding South Bay communities and offer both daytime and overnight postpartum support.

Nikki is an absolute rockstar! Nikki helped us for about 3 months. I noticed a positive difference with Rogan every single day after Nikki had spent the night. He was calm and super happy, and stuck to his schedule the next day! Nikki always came on time (or early) and stayed until she was sure he was settled. I was originally extremely nervous to have someone help us sleep train Rogan. Nikki's obvious care and love eased every worry, and I actually slept through the night. I can't say enough good things!!

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. It is important that you are comfortable and confident in your choice of doula. Confidence as a birthing mother will be created with education and knowledge. Fear and uncertainty can appear; knowledge and confidence are the perfect tools to address this. Whether your path includes meditation, medication or both, you can count on the birth to be what you design for you and your child’s birthing experience. My studies include prenatal yoga, breath work, pre/postnatal nutrition, hypnobirthing, lactation, and infant sleep, so if you see support enhancing your early motherhood experience, I can see you through.
