Noelle has been truly a dream with how helpful, calm, and knowledgeable she is. She is truly incredible. She’s even stayed in touch post-partem, which has been so helpful to have that extra level of support as my daughter grows and new challenges arise. She has given me such valuable information about not only getting ready for the birth but also after the baby was born. She helped us develop our birth plan and stick to it. I had doctors who tried to push for me to get an induction and Noelle helped weed out what was truly a concern, and if induction would be necessary. It was wonderful to have someone so knowledgeable to help us during that stressful time. When I was in early labor she was there (over FaceTime) guiding me through until we knew it was time to go to the hospital, since I live in Paradise. During the birth she was so incredible. She helped me stay as calm as I could while providing me with helpful tips to stay strong. As a first time parent I had no idea what to expect during child-birth but Noelle helped me find my courage. I absolutely recommend her.

With Bradley Method education as well as a background in fitness, nutrition and child development, I have taught, trained, counseled, coached, served and supported countless women, couples and families in the ways of the most rewarding, bonding and empowering adventures of a lifetime: Pregnancy, childbirth and beyond. ❤️ Call or text to schedule a free consultation (530)433-4111.

Morgan's depth of devotion to others is evident in her ability to connect and encourage her clients. I have found a lifelong friend, and God has made Himself known through our sisterhood. She is irreplaceable as a doula and as a counselor. She offers truly objective insight and perspectives when handling conflict. She wants the best for everyone involved and displays true compassion and empathy. She is by far one of my favorite people and my life is better with her in it.

Sydney Pepper

Accepts insurance

Hi! I’m Sydney, the founder of The Village Doula Collective, LLC. My journey into birth work began nearly a decade ago while working as a nanny. What started as childcare evolved into something deeper—I found myself supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I realized how much I loved being part of that transformative time. That experience led me to become a doula, and since then, I’ve dedicated my career to providing compassionate, informed, and inclusive care. I am a certified full-spectrum doula, trained through the Somatic Arts & Sciences Institute, with additional education from organizations such as Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and Birth Advocacy Doula Training. I also received my Lactation Education Specialist training from Santiago Canyon College. I’ve had the honor of attending births and supporting families through postpartum recovery, and my passion for this work continues to grow. With a bachelor’s degree in sociology, I understand that birth support is not just about physical care—it’s about addressing the systemic disparities that impact birthing people, particularly in BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. My mission is to make doula care accessible and equitable, ensuring that every family—regardless of income, background, or identity—has the support they need. At The Village Doula Collective, we believe in the power of community. Whether through direct support, education, or advocacy, we’re here to uplift birthing people and the doulas who serve them.

Sydney has been the support I needed to feel prepared, safe, and confident to go through birth and postpartum. I started with basically no knowledge about the physical process of birth or what my options would be in the hospital. Sydney walked me through every variable and option so I knew my choices but she never pushed me into decisions she just gave me information to make my own. Postpartum Sydney was EVERYTHING. She helped me prepare with my husband and was so reassuring as we started breastfeeding and caring for our baby as first time parents. It was so much better to be able to text Sydney my questions instead of google spiraling on normal newborn behaviors. I could go in and in but basically, Sydney will make your experience 100x better and you’ll want her to be a part of your family forever!

Caroline Patterson

Hey there, my name is Caroline Patterson and I'm a Certified Birth Doula under DONA. I've been a Doula since 2018 and absolutely love what I do! I've attended births in hospitals, homes, and birth centers. I have an herbal body care business and am deciding to pursue my path to becoming a midwife soon, as well. I live in Oregon House which makes for a unique location to be able to provide services in both Yuba and Nevada County and surrounding areas. I believe in holding space for my clients and making sure they feel safe, seen, and heard. I empower you by supporting you in making your own informed and intuitive decisions—you know your body and baby better than anyone else. While healthcare providers do a wonderful job making sure your little one is delivered safely, my main focus is on your specific needs, desires, emotions, and comfort. I’m here to witness you in your power and do all that I can to support you in your process. With the most care and respect, I will be a Guardian of your Birthing space.

Caroline was an invaluable asset to my pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, she provided educational resources, a listening ear, and the tools to guide me through meaningful experiences. It felt so reassuring to know I had someone I could call/text at any time when I had a question about something or just needed to talk. I wanted to feel really connected to myself, nature and my baby during my pregnancy, birth and post-partum journey, and Caroline helped me achieve that. By guiding me through sacred ceremonies, I was able to practice these connections in a way that I wouldn't have on my own. I will never forget these experiences and they were well worth the investment! During the birth, Caroline was by my side the entire time and provided a much needed calming presence. She was so intuitive to my needs and was always one step ahead. From making me smoothies, to wiping my forehead with a cold cloth, to holding space during my contractions...I can't imagine going through birth without her. Highly recommend Caroline as a doula :)

I recently had the opportunity to work with Ashley Cresap for birth education, and I can't speak highly enough about the experience. From the very beginning, it was clear how deeply knowledgeable and passionate she is about childbirth education. What stood out to me the most was her ability to make complex and sometimes overwhelming topics feel accessible and empowering. She guided me through every stage-Pregnancy, labor, birth, and even postpartum-with clarity, compassion, and professionalism. Thanks to her support, I feel much more confident and prepared for my journey ahead. She created a safe and welcoming space for learning, and I never felt judged for asking questions or expressing concerns. If you're looking for someone who combines expert knowledge with genuine care, I highly recommend Ashley! It's a decision you won't regret!
