Hallelujah!! That’s what I shouted when I was finally able to find Beth! She has been with me through two home births and now takes care of my entire family as our Primary. Her prenatal and Homebirth care were amazing, I always felt listened to. Each visit there was respect and connection! I had a lot of opinions on what I wanted and didn’t want and she talked with me about each of them and never tried to force me to change my mind about anything. Even Vaccines!!! Leading up to my homebirths I was intimidated and spoke to her about that, she was able to point me in the right direction for resources and made great recommendations for my specific fears. When it finally came time to have my babies she was exactly the presence I needed. Hands off but there. My husband and I felt absolutely taken care of and safe. She trusted my body and helped me to trust it to. My sons labor was textbook but my daughters labor was all over the place, 1min contractions followed by 15min breaks or 30sec contractions followed by 1min break. Just all over the place. (I know I would have been given pitocin if I was in a hospital.) I was worried but she reassured me that everything was fine and sure enough my daughter came out in the exact same amount of time it took for my son! I had a 15min rest period between contractions right before the last one that got her out. They were both 6hour labors with drastically different contraction cycles and both ended with beautiful births and healthy babies! I adore her middle of the road approach to health care. She gives amazing advice on things to do for sicknesses and different issues without running to medication. Which is very important for us. Even with ADHD issues she’s given me different things to try that I had never thought of. You kind of only think medication but there’s a whole lot we could do if that’s the route you choose. Having a primary that intimately knows my kids and myself is something I thought wasn’t possible at this day and age. We are so blessed to have found her and I feel completely confident that my kids health is the most important not some agenda! We are blessed to have a Primary we COMPLETELY trust that we can run to!

Hiring an overnight doula from Peaceful Passages was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Not only did my doula lovingly care for me and my newborn, she went above and beyond—prepping nourishing meals, providing breastfeeding support, organizing the baby’s nursery, and even helping with my twin toddlers so I could rest. Her calm, professional presence made my healing after a c-section so much easier. I was especially impressed by how seamless everything was—she was professionally dressed, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of that, Peaceful Passages accepted my Carrot insurance and handled all the billing with ease, which lifted such a burden off my shoulders. This service was truly a lifesaver for me and my family. I felt cared for, supported, and able to focus on bonding with my baby. I can’t recommend their overnight doula services enough!

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.

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.

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!

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!

I want to share my experience because I think it’s important for other families to understand not only the care they may receive, but also how insurance and payment arrangements are handled. Before hiring Joanne, I specifically asked about TRICARE. I was told that she accepted TRICARE and that I would be provided with a superbill so I could submit the claim for reimbursement. Based on that information, I felt comfortable moving forward and paid out of pocket for six postpartum doula visits. Unfortunately, when I submitted the claims, TRICARE denied them. The Explanation of Benefits stated that the provider needed to have the appropriate labor doula specialty and a participation agreement on file. When I contacted TRICARE to understand the denial, I was told that the provider needed to have the required participation agreement and that the provider was responsible for submitting the claims. This was very different from what I understood before hiring Joanne. I had relied on the information I was given when deciding to proceed and pay for the services. Had I known there might be an issue with her TRICARE status, participation agreement, or claim-submission process, I would have asked additional questions and clarified everything before paying. I reached out to Joanne to explain what TRICARE had told me and to ask for clarification and assistance resolving the issue. I followed up by text and email, but I have not received a response. At this point, I have paid for the services and have been left trying to resolve the insurance issue on my own, without the clarification or assistance I requested. I want to be clear that my concern is not simply that an insurance claim was denied. Insurance coverage can be complicated, and I understand that reimbursement is not always guaranteed. My concern is that I specifically asked about TRICARE before hiring, made my decision based on the information provided, and then was unable to get a response when the billing issue came up. She has not been helpful or responsive to this matter and has been curt and rude in earlier response and has ghosted me now that I am trying to resolve this. I recommend that anyone considering hiring Joanne get clear, written confirmation before beginning services about whether she is currently eligible to provide covered services under their specific TRICARE plan, whether the required participation agreement is on file, who is responsible for submitting claims, and what happens if a claim is denied. I would also recommend confirming all payment and reimbursement expectations in writing. I’m sharing this so other families can make an informed decision and avoid finding themselves in a similar situation.

Lidiane was a true blessing during my first month postpartum. As a new mom, I was overwhelmed and struggling with the recovery, but she stepped in with so much grace. She didn’t just care for the baby; she supported me emotionally and made sure our home felt peaceful. We are so lucky to have found her.

I can’t recommend Lidiane enough. When we brought our newborn home, everything felt like a whirlwind, but her calm presence changed everything. She was so gentle during the night shifts, allowing me to finally get some restorative sleep while knowing my baby was in the safest hands possible.
