You deserve to feel confident on your birth journey! What if instead of feeling overwhelmed by shoulds, you felt excited by the coulds in your pregnancy and birth? I believe that the right doula support can significantly increase your confidence and satisfaction in your birth experience. I offer birth and postpartum doula services, as well as private childbirth education. In hospitals, at home or in a birth center, families often use the words “calm” and “confident” when they describe the way they feel when we work together. I guide you to tune into your own needs and values in birth, leading to a more meaningful and peaceful experience. Get in touch! I would love to hear more about what you want from your birth experience. -Rebecca Belenky www.losangelesbirth.com

The best gift I gave myself in my birth was hiring Rebecca as my postpartum doula. Rebecca provided me with so much emotional support. She answered my endless questions as a first time parent and helped instill in me a sense of confidence in my own intuition. She helped me process this radical change of becoming a parent and my birth experience. We had such meaningful and fulfilling conversations during this tender time. I cannot imagine a better person than Rebecca to have in your corner in the birthing process. She has a gift for this important work.

My name is Camille and I dream of creating a safe birthing space for everyone, everywhere. Too often, women and birthing persons’ pain is overlooked, their rights not respected, and their voices not heard. We all deserve a safe space to bring life into this world. "In a perfect marriage, there are times when you’re the flower, and times when you’re the gardener helping it bloom. ~ Hortensia Bishop" As a birthworker, I intend to be the gardener of your birthing room, ensuring your rights as a birthing person are protected and that you can bloom your abundance into this world in peace and safety.

Teejay is an incredibly thorough and attentive massage therapist. She takes her time, giving careful attention to every muscle and joint, and truly listens to my specific needs. Her knowledge of postpartum recovery and infant care is impressive — clearly reflecting her experience as a mom of three. I always leave feeling rejuvenated and well cared for. I would highly, highly recommend her to other moms, especially those navigating postpartum recovery.

I have always been fascinated and humbled by the birthing process since working at a Maternity Hospital in Nepal many years ago, when I was a medical student in the UK. It revealed to me how essential compassionate support is during this rite of passage. My passion for women's health and childbirth has never waned, and I come with a deep knowledge of the process from working as a family doctor in the UK, then birthing and bringing up my own three children here in the US. I am privileged to work as a birth doula, an advocate in this space, supporting with empathy and calm, helping women to trust their bodies and to achieve a positive birth experience. I help women to know their own body and its amazing capabilities, to trust it, and, in doing so, to own their birth.

Having known and worked with Harriet for 30 years I have seen firsthand how calm, patient, and dedicated she is. That, combined with a wealth of experience and knowledge, shape her into an invaluable support to have by your side. She’s always completely committed to the people she supports and cares for and I would have no hesitation in having her as my doula. I wish I had.

It is with pleasure that I write this review for Veronica Hinojosa, who served as my postpartum doula and night nurse. During one of the most vulnerable times in my life, Veronica’s motherly presence provided an immense sense of comfort and reassurance. Her warmth, kindness, and professionalism made all the difference in my postpartum journey. Veronica’s expertise and guidance were invaluable, particularly when it came to bottle feeding and establishing a daytime nap routine. Her advice was practical and effective, helping us create a rhythm that worked well for our baby. More than anything, I always felt secure knowing my little one was in her capable hands. Her natural talent for soothing and caring for infants gave me the peace of mind to truly rest and recharge for the following day. Additionally, Veronica’s dedication extended beyond her own services—when she was unavailable, she ensured we had reliable backup care through one of her trusted associates. This level of commitment and foresight further demonstrated her professionalism and reliability. I am incredibly grateful for Veronica’s support and would recommend her to any family in need of a compassionate, knowledgeable, and dependable postpartum doula or night nurse. She has been an invaluable part of our early parenting experience, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hi, my name is Gayle Gilman. I am passionate about helping women have positive birth experiences. I know too many people who have had stressful, dramatic and scary birthing experiences that could have been avoided. No matter what kind of birth you want to have, from a scheduled c-section to a natural home birth, my goal is to help you walk away feeling happy with the choices and decisions you made. When I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my family traveling, cooking and laughing.

I would not hesitate to hire Gayle as my doula. Her wealth of experience giving birth to four children, including twins, as a mother and as a support to so many people would give me the utmost faith in her abilities. Her warm, comforting presence will help you through this journey with confidence and calm.

Nurture The Divine is rooted in serving and empowering women to achieve the birth experience of their dreams. There is so much transformation that occurs during all 4 trimesters of pregnancy and it’s important for women to feel understood, heard, and validated during this sacred time. My doula approach encompasses physical, emotional, educational, and energetic support in a warm and loving space. My goal is to bring truly comprehensive, safe, healing, and whole-hearted doula care to all the beautiful families that I am blessed to interact with. I truly believe there is immense value in providing a safe space for the divine feminine to shine. Even in rare cases when medical interventions are necessary for the safety of mom and baby, the sacred nature of birth can still be preserved.

Recent review

I don't even know where to start. I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and have been heavily reflecting on my pregnancy, labor, and delivery as a first-time mom. I matched with Kalista when I was about 20 weeks pregnant. The kindness, support, and education provided by Kalista from day 1 has made the entire experience incredibly memorable. My plan was to have an unmedicated birth, but complications along the way forced an induction and an epidural. My body continued to struggle to dilate, which caused a very uncomfortable, prolonged labor. There were many moments of feeling very challenged and overwhelmed. Kalista stayed by my side in the hospital the entire time, as soon as I was admitted. Kalista provided ambient lighting, meditation music, electrolytes, stress tools (ball and labor comb), suggested positions to try during contractions, and massaged my legs during the most intense times. One of the most memorable things I will always remember during my labor and delivery was her soft, kind words of encouragement during painful moments and during my actual delivery. I honestly can say that I wouldn't have been able to overcome the challenges without her and my fiance by my side. I was hard on myself when the turn of events changed my birth plan. Kalista made my fiance and I feel comfortable and confident that we could overcome it all and still have a positive delivery. When I look back on everything, I can honestly say that I will miss the entire experience and parts of me wish that it wasn't over. If I ever have another baby, I hope that Kalista is available again to help me have another positive birth experience. We are so grateful for her!

Hi there, I’m Becky and have been working with new families since 2016 as a doula and parent educator in the Los Angeles, Ca and surrounding communities. I truly believe the support of a new mother starts during pregnancy and through the first year postpartum. I am a first generation Latinx woman and use the pronouns She/Her/Ella. I primarily grew up in Whittier, CA, but spend several years in Nayarit, Mexico. I am married with 3 beautiful children of my own. I hope I can help you plan for the best birth and postpartum period imaginable.

After learning about postpartum doulas during my birth prep, I knew that was a support my husband and I would want after the birth of our first child. My mother isn't really in my life, my mother-in-law wasn't going to be available, and we felt like we had no idea what we were doing. Enter Becky! From the very beginning, Becky was a steady and knowledgeable voice, guiding us through this massive shift in our lives. She was there from the beginning, teaching us everything from breastfeeding tips and first baths to developmental milestones. All the nervous questions I had, that would have led us straight to urgent care countless times, she had a logical and fact-based answer for. When she was over, I could take a break to shower or do something for myself, knowing my baby was in excellent hands. Even her and our reactive dog became besties. By the end of our three months together she was more like a big sister to me than someone we hired to help us. Our little family loves her and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a postpartum doula.

As your doula, my role is to support you and your family in the way that best helps you feel calm, confident, and present throughout labor. That might look like hands-on support to help you labor more comfortably at home, guiding your partner in how to do the same, offering gentle coaching as you breathe through contractions, or even quietly capturing photos and keeping loved ones updated. Every birth is unique, and I’m flexible to your goals and desires—even if they shift as labor unfolds. While some people picture doulas as very “woo-woo” or mystical, my style is more grounded and pragmatic. I believe in giving you practical tools, evidence-based guidance, and steady encouragement so you can navigate the challenges of labor with clarity and confidence. I love preparing families by educating them about what to expect and how to respond intentionally, rather than react impulsively in the moment. My professional background is in leadership, mentorship, and professional development, and I bring that same skillset into my doula work—helping you tap into your own strength, stay relaxed, and move through labor as smoothly as your body allows. My ultimate goal is to help you experience the fastest, easiest birth your body is capable of, while holding space for you to feel calm, supported, and fully present in the process.

I would highly recommend hiring Alix if you are giving birth anytime soon or saving her information if you plan to give birth anytime in the future. My husband and I were not originally planning on having a doula. We gave birth at a birthing center and thought that a doula's main benefit would be advocating for us in a hospital setting (although we did not experience this I am positive Alix would also be very helpful in this setting as well). Alix was a godsend!! Get ready for the long list of things that were so helpful to my husband and I in labor: she helped give my husband a break from different comfort measures, helped calm and focus me when I started to believe I couldn't do it, was so knowledgeable in different positions and comfort measures to try, she brought different tools with her to help in labor (I would not have gotten through labor without the help of the labor comb that she brought), she communicated directly with our midwife and got us going to the birthing center when we needed to (without her we probably would have given birth at home which was not a part of our plan), and on the way to the birthing center she bought liquid IV's to make sure I was staying hydrated. This is just the list of things she did while at our home and on the way to the birthing center (and it is not an exhaustive list!!). I haven't even mentioned how she helped at the birthing center as well as her communication and encouragement during pregnancy and her care after giving birth. This review is already long enough so I will not add those things but will say that Alix is amazing and you will not regret hiring her (especially if you are a first time mom like me!!).

If you value both evidence and intuition, I might be the doula for you. I love helping clients combine research and their own instincts to make decisions that are right for them. Furthermore, I might be the doula for you if you want support without an agenda. I don’t believe there’s an ideal way to approach birth or postpartum adjustment. I’m here to understand and support whatever path you want to take.

Recent review

Working with Glory as both our birth and postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. She is professional, trustworthy, calm, and genuinely goes above and beyond in every aspect of her work. Postpartum, she was incredibly helpful with both emotional and practical support. She took initiative without ever overstepping, followed our lead as parents, and created a steady, reassuring presence in our home. She was excellent at baby-related care and household support, always keeping our kitchen sink clean and organized, and preparing truly delicious, nourishing meals that made a real difference during recovery. She also helped us troubleshoot very specific challenges related to sleep, bottle feeding, and lactation, and when something was outside her scope as a doula, she thoughtfully referred us to an excellent IBCLC, which we greatly appreciated. She is highly communicative, responsive, and supportive, and consistently brought a warm, positive, and grounded energy. We trusted her completely and always felt respected and heard. As a birth doula, she invested significant time outside of our scheduled prenatal meetings, providing education, guidance, and emotional support. When I encountered a complication that required an induction, she was especially helpful in walking us through what to expect and how to advocate for my needs. During labor and delivery, she was exceptional at protecting oxytocin, guiding positioning, and supporting both me and my husband as a true teammate. Her presence helped us feel confident, informed, and supported through labor, delivery, and into postpartum recovery. We are incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, proactive, warm, and deeply supportive.

I come from a family of birth workers and OTs —so supporting people through this part of life has always felt familiar and important to me. Over time, I realized how much I care about helping people feel empowered and heard, especially during birth, when they need it most. I believe in practical, down-to-earth support that combines knowledge, empathy, and a warm presence (plus a little humor when it’s needed). I try to meet each person where they are and support the kind of birth they want—whether that’s quiet and private or full of conversation and teamwork. To me, birth is a shared experience, but the birthing person is always at the center. I see my role as making sure they feel respected, cared for, and in charge of their experience.
