Fabiola came into my home and instantly made me feel at ease. Her prenatal massage was not only physically relaxing but emotionally nourishing as well. I truly needed this moment of care, and she delivered it with so much intention and kindness. I’m so grateful for her time and highly recommend her to any mama-to-be.

Blessings to you. Thank you for jumping in profile. My name is Valerie Claxton, and I am an IBCLC, a certified childbirth educator, doula certified, and a registered nurse specializing in labor and delivery living northern California. I have been on both sides of the labor and delivery journey as a nurse, I see mothers choosing what is best for them and advocating for them, whether going fully natural to using medicinal means to deliver. I know that with teamwork, belief, trust, releasing all fears, and encompassing a peaceful space that birthing your beautiful bundle will come easy. Yes, there are the unknowns but with constant communication and reassurance our relationship will be unbreakable. I enjoy teaching Zumba, serving in our children's ministry, and showing off my green thumb.

I tell everybody I know to get a lactation consultant BEFORE they give birth as I truly believe breastfeeding would be a lot easier if women had more access to more help. I highly recommend Valerie specifically because I did work with another consultant beforehand and while she was lovely, she wasn't quite able to help us the way we needed. Valerie noticed tiny but important details of our lives and provided much needed insight and advice on how to get through the hard times.

Recent review

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 am so grateful for my Newborn Care Specialist Jacqueline and the exceptional support she provided when my daughter was born. Her vast knowledge of newborn care is truly impressive, and her advice was invaluable. She is also an incredible communicator, always keeping me informed and reassured. Her attention to detail and genuine compassion were gamechangers and I felt incredibly supported every step of the way. She went above and beyond to ensure my daughter had everything she needed to thrive and that I had everything I needed to care for her. Jacqueline made this special time even more special for my family. I cannot recommend Jacqueline enough to any new parent(s) looking for outstanding care and support.

Recent review

We had Gabriela as our backup postpartum doula, and she was absolutely wonderful. She has such a kind and calm presence with a constant warm smile. She was very gentle with my baby and handled him so beautifully, especially on a couple of tough nights after his first shots when he was extra fussy. She was also very flexible, even came to a different location to help us and happily helped around the house with dishes and baby laundry. We felt very comfortable and cared for with her. Highly recommend!
