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.

Recent review

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!
