I’m Allie Rose, a passionate and dedicated doula inspired by my own journey into motherhood. One of my biggest joys in life is my first born, my daughter, Quincy Rose. Her birth was a transformative experience—long, unexpected, and profoundly impactful. It was through this experience that I found my calling to support others during their own unique birth journeys. Shortly after Quincy was born, I immersed myself in the world of birth work by completing my first doula training. From that moment on, I’ve been honored to attend births and walk alongside families during one of the most intimate and powerful times in their lives. With the mindset that one can never learn enough, I’ve continually expanded my knowledge, most recently studying at Bini Birth, the leading child birth educators in Los Angeles which is DONA International approved. I also regularly attend doula gatherings and conferences to stay up-to-date and connected with my vibrant birth community. Beyond supporting births, I find deep joy in cooking and the nourishing connections it fosters. This passion drives my postpartum services, where I help new families nurture both their bodies and spirits as they navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a newborn. I truly believe in the power of community, and I'd be honored to be a part of your village. Let’s connect and talk about how I can best support you as you begin this incredible journey.

"Choosing Allie Rose as our birth doula and postpartum doula was hands down the best decision we made for the arrival of our first bundle of joy! From the moment we connected, Allie's warm and nurturing presence put us completely at ease. As our birth doula, she was an unwavering source of strength and calm, providing invaluable emotional and physical support that helped us navigate labor with confidence. Then, during the postpartum period, her gentle guidance, practical help, and knowledgeable insights were truly exemplary. She helped us find our footing as new parents, ensuring we felt seen, supported, and cared for during such a tender time. We are incredibly grateful for Allie Rose's expertise and compassionate care. She truly made our journey into parenthood a more joyful and peaceful experience. We can't recommend her enough!"

Hello all, my name is Destiny Sutton and I am a newly trained postpartum doula with a strong background in nannying, and I’m deeply passionate about supporting families during the tender early weeks after birth. I believe in creating a calm, peaceful environment where both babies and parents can rest, bond, and feel confident in their new rhythm together. My approach is gentle, supportive, and responsive to each family’s unique needs, especially during overnight care. In my free time, I enjoy slowing down and recharging through activities like spending time outdoors, reading, and caring for my own well-being—values I bring into my work with families by encouraging rest, balance, and compassion during the postpartum period.

Growing up, I had a very special relationship with my own babysitter who I looked up to. She became my first influence unknowingly to being in childcare. I try to carry her loving, thoughtful influence into my work as a nanny and newborn care specialist. I love working with children because they are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to be present in the moment. I have been working with children for seventeen years from the newborns to school age, but specialize in newborn/infant and toddler care.

Hello, I'm Cierria Leyazhié or you may call me Apache, and I believe birth is one of God’s most beautiful and sacred calls. My passion is supporting mothers not just through the physical act of labor, but through the profound spiritual and energetic transformation it demands. My approach is built on three distinct pillars: Pillar 1: Christ-Centered Care & Hypnobirthing: I equip you with Scriptural affirmations, prayerful grounding techniques, and Christian Hypnobirthing methods—helping you replace fear and tension with profound relaxation and faith, working toward a gentler, less painful birth experience. Pillar 2: Ayurvedic Wisdom & Doula Training: My commitment to holistic health is backed by rigorous education from the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS), where I earned certifications as an Ayurvedic Wellness Educator and Ayurvedic Health Practitioner. I then completed my full-spectrum doula training with the Sankofa Birthing Collective. I guide mothers toward balanced health, focusing heavily on Vata-pacifying principles—the ancient practice of using warmth, nourishment, and deep rest for true physical and nervous system recovery during the crucial 42-day postpartum period. Pillar 3: Advanced Lactation & Education: As a Certified Lactation Educator who is actively working to complete requirements to become an IBCLC, I provide high-level, up-to-date, evidence-based childbirth and feeding education, ensuring you have the practical tools and specialized knowledge necessary for an empowered birth and a successful breastfeeding start. Whether through Ayurvedic food guidance, gentle herbal recommendations, or prayerful presence, I am here to help you experience a birth that is peaceful, powerful, and deeply honoring of your body and your faith. ​A Holistic Approach to Your Fourth Trimester Whether it is through preparing Ayurvedic "warm-natured" meals, providing gentle herbal recommendations, or offering a prayerful presence, I am here to ensure your postpartum period is a time of deep rest rather than depletion. I am dedicated to helping you experience a birth and recovery that is peaceful, powerful, and deeply honoring of your body and your faith.

I believe in sacredness of coming into parenthood and want to protect it, so that it can unfold in an undisturbed way, as much as possible, and this includes pregnancy, birth, and the ever-so- vulnerable postpartum period. I also believe that the birthing person is the only one who has the authority to make decisions about their body and their baby because I know that those decision will be the best ones for them at that given moment. This leaves no space for judgment; only support and respect.

We hired Nikki as our postpartum doula for our first child, four weeks of nights and six weeks of days. Simply put, she was indispensable for new parents with no family in the area. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, so careful with our little one, and gave us both rest and peace of mind. If you are thinking about hiring a kind, thoughtful postpartum doula, Nikki is great

It seems impossible to express my deep gratitude, appreciation and LOVE for Deborah. She was the *best* decision I made in setting myself up for success postpartum. From nourishing foods, massages, sound baths, to being a shoulder to cry on/vent to, our time together was not only rejuvenating but necessary for my well being. If I could have her move in with us and provide services forever, I would!! <3

As an ecologist by training, I am so grateful to have wandered into the world of birth work — it's this deeply personal, synergetic work that draws me in and feels like a natural union of my passions and gifts.

I'd be honored to support you during the momentous rites of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, no matter your birth preferences. I offer 3 comprehensive birth packages and will negotiate sliding scale options for those interested.
