Hello, my name is Lindy Garcia, and I am a Postpartum Doula and Reproductive Health Educator. What drew me to this work is the incredible complexity of the postpartum period. It’s a time of profound hormonal changes, physical adjustments, and emotional shifts, all of which highlight the importance of community and support. I believe these elements shape the journey into parenthood in powerful ways. My approach to postpartum care starts with understanding my client’s unique hierarchy of needs. Together, we build a plan of action that honors their goals and circumstances. My priority is to help families not just survive this transition but truly thrive. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where families feel supported, empowered, and confident in their own choices. Providing emotional care and evidence-based information is at the heart of what I do, so my clients can make informed decisions that feel right for them. I am deeply passionate about helping families create their personal best postpartum experience—one that fosters joy, resilience, and connection. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me exploring local trails, relaxing at a coffee shop, or spending quality time with my own family.

I'm a traditional birth doula, birth photographer, and placenta encapsulation specialist. My heart is for serving and protecting women and babies. As a birth doula, I take a holistic approach to caring for mothers by providing nurturing guidance and hands-on support throughout pregnancy, birth, and immediately postpartum. I love helping women connect to their God given strength and wisdom. My own doula was instrumental in my peaceful HBAC (home birth after cesarean) which inspired me to become that support for other women. So here I am! I've said goodbye to my 9-5 and have committed to letting God guide me through serving families in my community during such a special time in their lives.

Hello, I've been practicing women's health since 2000 and am among the first cohort to be board certified in Women's Health Physical Therapy. Women may experience abdominal or pelvic floor issues due to too much or too little tone and muscle strength and this can happen simultaneously. The real question I like to address is what is the primary cause that triggered this cascade of events. Often times problems don't resolve because there is another issue happening somewhere else in the fascial system causing these problems. The skills I am proficient in to address these problems are Visceral Manipulation, Matrix Repatterning, myofascial release, imagery and movement, Frequency Specific Microcurrent, Integrative Systems Model. Please youtube Matrix Repatterning for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction to learn about one of these techniques. Looking forward to working with you when the timing is right for you.

Hi! My name is Amy, I am an experienced Labor & Delivery and Postpartum nurse. I am located in Orange, CA.

Hello! I'm Danielle, a Certified Breastfeeding Specialist located in Huntington Beach, California. I have over six years of experience supporting mothers and families through every stage of their feeding journey. With a foundation in Early Childhood Development, I understand the emotional and developmental needs of both babies and parents, which allows me to offer practical, compassionate care tailored to each family. I’ve worked with moms facing everything from first-time nursing challenges to complex feeding plans, and I believe that every parent deserves respectful, evidence-based support without pressure or judgment. My goal is to help you feel confident, supported, and seen—whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, combination feeding, starting solids, or just trying to figure it all out day by day. When I’m not working with families, I enjoy hiking, cooking, working out, paddle boarding, kayaking, and getting lost in a good book!

Hello! My name is Jillian Manriquez. I am an enthusiast of humans helping humans. Although I have not experienced any of my own pregnancies, I have physically, mentally, and emotionally with my mom's three experiences. I've seen my mom go through each pregnancy differently as well as each of their births being unique in their own way but beautiful in every way. I have experienced seeing a supportive birth team by your side helps every woman feel more empowered and supported during this beautiful experience. My reason for becoming a birth doula is to come alongside each woman to support their desired birth plan and help them feel empowered through a vulnerable time.

I am a trained Australian Registered Nurse and Midwife, an early childhood RN and Nurse Educator.

Hi, I’m Chloe Morin. Mother of two, a bonus mom of one, and now, a birth and postpartum doula. My journey into motherhood has shaped me in ways I never expected, revealing both the beauty and the deep vulnerability of bringing life into the world. I believe there are two moments in life when heaven meets earth—marriage and birth. Birth is raw, powerful, and life-changing, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. My passion is to stand with women in one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, offering support, advocacy, and a steady presence, no matter what their journey looks like. Beyond birth, I am dedicated to postpartum care that truly nurtures. The fourth trimester is just as important as birth itself, and every mother deserves care that honors her healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My goal is simple: to ensure women feel supported, seen, and strong in this transformative season of life. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

I first found Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis when I was pregnant with my first baby and working as a bedside nurse in a busy hospital postpartum unit. I knew my body was meant to give birth, but I felt the negativity and fear of those around me was preventing me from enjoying this transformative time in my life. Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis gave me back my joy and even more. It gave me a confidence and excitement about birth that I didn't even know was possible. I went on to become a board certified lactation consultant and certified maternal newborn nurse and also attended many births as an L&D nurse. 11 years and 2 Hypnobabies of my own later, I am so happy to share this complete childbirth education class with my community and bring joy and love into the lives of birthing families.

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.
