We had a fantastic experience with Elsy. She was very caring with our daughter but most importantly she knew when to push back on the child and the parents to do what's best for the child. Our first daughter took quite a bit of time to get sleep trained, but with Elsy, our second daughter was sleep trained within the first 3 months! We couldn't have found a better over night Doula.

Los Angeles birth doula, Pasadena birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation educator, and childbirth education support for families who want thoughtful, steady care through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. I support clients giving birth in hospitals, birth centers, and at home across Los Angeles and Pasadena. My approach is calm, evidence-based, and holistic. I help you sort through options, understand what matters most to you, and prepare for birth in a way that feels clear,, and personal. Families often say they feel calmer, more confident, and more connected when we work together. Rather than focusing on what birth should look like, I help you tune into your own values, preferences, and needs so you can move through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with more trust in yourself and your choices. In addition to birth and postpartum doula care, I also offer childbirth education and lactation support to help families feel more prepared and supported as they welcome their baby.

Hiring Rebecca Belenky was the best decision I made for the births of my children. Rebecca attended two of my births: an unmedicated birth at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena and a home birth. What stands out most to me, aside from her remarkable steadiness and extensive knowledge, was her ability to help me hold boundaries while remaining kind and respectful of the other members of the care team. In the intensity of labor, it can be difficult to stand up for your choices, but Rebecca stayed acutely attuned to my needs and wishes and helped communicate them to the team. Thanks to Rebecca, I had the confidence to focus on myself and my babies, and I had beautiful, joyful birthing experiences. I strongly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for an calm, attentive, evidence-based advocate.

Hey Family! I'm AnneLisa, a holistic trauma-informed full-spectrum doula serving Los Angeles County, Ventura County and Orange County, California. Supporting women through the transformative journey of birth is my joy and passion and I'm always curious to learn more. Coming from a background of 15+years of Clinical Research, Healthcare Services Administration and a Holistic Health, I believe if given the tools and knowledge, your birth and postpartum journeys can be a harmonious transition for you and your family. My practice blends a holistic approach with evidenced base practices and trauma-informed care so you can thrive through birth and beyond. If this resonates with you, Let's Connect! Journey into parenthood with clarity, support and loving tender doula care!

Recent review

My family has been lucky enough to partner with AnneLisa during our postpartum journey. She is self proclaimed holistic and that term is just right. At night time, AnneLisa comes to your house and spends time checking in with the Mom and finding out any information about baby. She writes notes about her night with baby and shares with both parents. She ends her service by making a very large breakfast (her oatmeal lasted me at least 3 servings each time). During the daytime, she checks in on Mom again, and that can come as talking, French hair braiding or massage. She can also teach you newborn skills like how to take baby out for a walk, or how to bathe baby. On top of all this, AnneLisa partners with a wonderful woman in the insurance industry who can help you check to see what is covered and even help try and get reimbursements. If you’re looking for a doula, while I can only attest to her postpartum skills, I’m sure she’s amazing as a birth doula as well. I highly recommend working with AnneLisa.

I come from a long line of birthworkers, and I’ve spent years supporting families across hospitals, birth centers, and home births.

I would love to walk alongside you through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

I had a wonderful experience with Tremaine. Before hiring her I was very nervous and she helped me prepare for labor mentality, emotionally and physically. My hospital birth was great all thanks to her. She really helped me a lot during labor by using aromatherapy, massage, positive affirmation, and guiding me on movements to help me cope with contractions. After labor she continued checking on me and gave me great advice that helped me heal. I recommend Tremaine because she has very caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

Hi! My name is Kaylan. I’m a certified Newborn Care Specialist with a degree in Child Development and over 12 years of hands-on experience supporting families during the newborn stage. I’ve worked in both Alabama (where I was born and raised) and Los Angeles, where I’ve been based since 2016. My passion for working with infants started early, and I feel so grateful to have turned that passion into a long-term, fulfilling career. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of families — including first-time parents, work-from-home professionals, and even high-profile clients such as professional athletes — which has helped me become highly adaptable and intuitive in all kinds of home environments. As a true night owl (I always say I’m a bit of a vampire! 🦇), overnight newborn care fits my natural rhythm perfectly. I specialize in creating calm, supportive nighttime routines that promote healthy sleep habits, while also providing peace of mind to parents during those first critical weeks and months. I’m excited about the possibility of supporting your growing family and hope to bring comfort, care, and consistency during this special transition into parenthood.

Kaylan services were amazing! She was very educated and knowledgeable. She was such a helping hand to not only my baby boy but me as well! She went over and beyond to give me the best days after giving birth. I trusted her so quickly and knew my baby boy was in GREAT hands. She kept me updated and we would do a talk before she left in the morning on how the night went. She kept everything neat and clean!

Hello! My name is Shervande Dorvil, but most people refer to me as Shy. I’m an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula in the Los Angeles, CA area who specializes in twins. I currently have eight years of experience providing overnight care for newborns and support to parents. I am a punctual and organized individual who takes pride in the knowledge and guidance I can provide when it comes to children’s developmental milestones. I also have experience with sleep shaping, helping families establish healthy sleep habits so that even after my time with them has ended, parents can continue getting the rest they need. It truly warms my heart to see the impact I make in each new household by giving parents the relief of a night of uninterrupted sleep. I know and understand how difficult it can be to entrust someone with your precious bundle of joy, but I promise that your baby’s safety, comfort, and well-being will always be my highest priority. It takes a village to raise a child. Entrust me to be a part of yours, because I promise you won’t regret it.

So happy I picked Shy to watch my baby boy. Unfortunately, my maternity leave was only about a month, and I knew there was no way I would have been able to continue doing night shifts while working. I found Shy from a referral, and she really helped make my night so much easier! While I still had to wake up for breastfeeding, Shy was there for all the transitions and allowed me to really get the most sleep I could by taking care of literally everything. Even just the fact that my pump parts were always washed and ready to go made life so much easier! Even just watching her holding my baby, I could tell that she truly does care, and just that alone let me know my baby was always in good hands! Once again, thank you so much, Shy, couldn’t have done this without you!

Annie is so great, thoughtful and resourceful! She is knowledgeable in her field and any question I had that she didn't have the answer to, she was willing to look into it! When it came time to deliver, she remained calm and helped me focus on my breathing. We got to the hospital when I was already 9 centimeters. Annie talked through the things the doctors were telling me and my husband. I could feel confident after that. Now that baby is home, Annie has kept up with us, always checking in, and willing to come visit. I also appreciate her personal training background. Once I'm cleared for exercise, I'm looking forward to Annie's assistance into getting back in shape. Thank you Annie for all that you are!

I believe with every conviction that mothers hold innate wisdom to birth their babies. , I honor your intuition through holistic care and embodied practice—supporting you through pregnancy, birth, and the sacred postpartum transition. As your Sister in Christ, I offer faith-based birth support for those wanting so. We approach your labor as an act of worship—leaning on prayer and rejoicing to reveal God's strength and love for you. I am a community-first birthworker, passionate about making holistic wellness, coaching, and education accessible to women in my community. My work blends embodied childbirth education and hands-on support across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a Birthing From Within–trained mentor, I offer education that goes far beyond information—our work honors the inner journey, emotional landscape, and transformation that birth invites. Alongside this, I provide holistic, nurturing care including herbal remedies, gentle bodywork, mindful movement, breathwork, and food as medicine—supporting the body’s natural physiology while tending to the nervous system and spirit. My Philosophy: Honoring the MotherBaby Dyad I intimately understand and uphold the crucial MotherBaby bond and believe in family-oriented care that follows natural instincts. This belief shapes every facet of my postpartum support and education: Attachment Parenting: I educate and support families in honoring bonding practices such as exclusive breastfeeding, safe bed-sharing/co-sleeping, elimination communication, and babywearing. Holistic Recovery: I offer nourishing, restorative care in the first 40 days, drawing from my training as a Postpartum Practitioner mentored by Pilar Chandler, Doctor of Ayurveda for Women’s Health. Lactation Philosophy: The Power of Human Milk I am deeply committed to the evidence supporting human milk as the optimal standard for infant nutrition. While I support all feeding choices with heart, my philosophy is rooted in the conviction that exclusive breastfeeding provides unparalleled protection and nourishment. This is not just "good"; scientific consensus confirms that breast is best for both maternal and infant health outcomes.

Gia was such a grounding presence throughout my pregnancy and birth. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel supported the whole way through. From our prenatal visits to labor support, I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. So grateful for her!

Hi, I’m Samantha! I’m a certified postpartum doula and newborn care specialist supporting families throughout Southern California. My approach is warm, hands-on, and education-focused. I’m there to care for your baby, of course, but just as importantly, to make sure you feel supported, rested, informed, and more confident in your own instincts as you settle into life with a newborn. I have experience supporting newborns, twins, first-time parents, and growing families, and I tailor my care to what each household actually needs. That may look like overnight newborn care, feeding and sleep support, detailed newborn logs, postpartum recovery support, helping partners feel more involved, or simply being the calm, knowledgeable person in the room when everything feels new. My goal is never to take over your family’s experience—it’s to make the transition smoother and leave you feeling more capable than when I arrived.

I truly can’t say enough good things about Sam. Those first weeks with newborn twins were intense, and she brought so much calm and structure into our home. She kept detailed notes every night on each baby’s feeds, diapers, sleep, and anything she noticed, and before pediatrician appointments she helped us organize what was actually worth mentioning or asking about. She cared for me and my husband in ways I honestly didn’t expect either. She did foot soaks, gave me massages, and would even comb and braid my hair when I was too exhausted to think about taking care of myself. She made sure he ate, got fresh air, and felt appreciated too. Those little things made us feel human again. One of my favorite things about her was how intentional she was with our older son. He was struggling with suddenly having two new babies in the house, and Sam never treated him like he was being difficult. She created little opportunities for him to bond with his brothers, gave him special jobs, and made him feel like he had a mission. You could actually see him becoming proud of his role as their big brother. I miss her all the time. We still have a photo of all of us with Sam on our refrigerator, and I think that says everything. She became such a special part of our family during a season we will never forget.

Hello Everyone! My name is Donna Moragne-Hanson. I'm a licensed midwife in Los Angeles, CA providing well-woman, pre-conception and prenatal/postpartum midwifery care. I also provide doula care, childbirth education and lactation support from the privacy of my in-home birthing studio. Here you & your family are provided with everything you need for a safe, comfortable and peaceful birth. Receive 24 Golden Hours of maternal & newborn postpartum care as you enjoy 3 homemade meals prepared to restore, center and balance your body before journeying home with your new babe. I offer specialty services such as yoni steams, healing herbal baths, Ala-carte Postpartum packages and the "Closing of the Bones" ceremony, bringing spiritual closure to your birth. For me, establishing trust with my client is the most important and fundamental. My practice is built on nurturing trust and learning to let go of the things we allow to interfere with trust. I want to encourage trusting in yourself; trusting in your body (and the natural process of giving birth); trusting in your baby (and their own divinely written birth story); trusting in humanity (and the world your baby is born into) and trusting in our partnership, as client and midwife. I believe, "when a woman is heard, she is seen; when she is seen, she has a voice"; and as her midwife I am compelled to encourage her to honor that voice; her voice. In this way I believe I am blessed with an opportunity to fulfill my role as supporter, facilitator, educator and client advocate; the ultimate calling of a midwife. For me, describing the process of birth is like trying to describe a miracle; and walking with a woman as she becomes a mother is even more profound…I am beyond words. Donna, LM, CPM

Donna gave me the confidence and calm I needed for my first birth. She was there every step of the way to answer all my questions, no matter how silly! My doctor was very impressed with how prepared and informed I was. I would love to work with Donna again.
