My journey into this work began as a nanny, where I discovered how much I loved caring for little ones and supporting families. That passion grew even deeper while taking Child Development and Education courses at Saddleback College, which eventually led me to become a full-time postpartum doula. Now, I feel so honored to walk alongside new parents as they adjust to life with their baby. I offer gentle, nurturing support—emotionally and physically—during those early days, and I love helping families create healthy sleep foundations from the very beginning.

Hello! My name is Diane Lim and I am a postpartum doula. I have two children of my own - two beautiful baby boys. I became interested in postpartum doula care when I was going through the postpartum season with my firstborn. I just thought to myself how there isn't enough support for women who are going through the biggest transition of their lives! I want moms of all life stages to feel supported and cared for.

Recent review

I received postpartum care from Diane with my firstborn and I'm so thankful I did! She was at my home 4 nights a week to take care of my newborn overnight while my husband and I got some much needed sleep. I only woke up to feed the baby as I was breastfeeding and Diane would burp, diaper, and put him back to sleep. I'm so glad I decided to take care of myself during this huge life changing transition.

I hired Alex as my birth doula and postpartum doula. I really couldn't have done labor without her. She was so calm and level-headed and helped my husband know what was going on. After the baby came home she how to take care of me so that I could take care of our daughter. It was simple things but it meant the world to me.

Diane was my doula with my first baby and she was amazing. She took care of the baby so I could get some extra sleep at night and she also took care of me, whether it was helping me with pumping or swaddling. I feel like she gave me the tools to take care of my newborn and to be okay once she left. I can’t recommend her enough.

Hello everyone, I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Childbirth Educator. I absolutely love all things birth and baby, but my passion is in helping families adjust to the new changes that a baby brings. I truly believe that everyone should have the support that they need going into pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It's a rollercoaster of a time, with a million questions that come with it. My goal is to have the families I work with, feel informed and empowered during such a pivotal moment in their lives. I got interested in doula work before becoming a mom myself. Now as a mom, that interest has only been strengthened. I talk to so many parents who would've done things differently or wish they had known something back then that could've made their lives that much easier. with a newborn. My goal is to get the answers to my families that they need, whether that be from my own knowledge and expertise or connecting them to the right resources who can help them.

Cheryl was a fantastic doula! She is compassionate, understanding and knowledgeable. When the time came for us to go to the hospital and deliver our baby, Cheryl arrived engaged and fully prepared. Cheryl's personality is very warm and kind, it makes her a wonderful ally as you go through the process of giving birth. I fully recommended her.

Hi, I'm Jill! I approach my role as a Birth and Postpartum Doula with flexibility, kindness, humor, and compassion. No matter what your family looks like, or what you want for a birth plan, I will support you to ensure your needs are are met by providing you with information and options, without judgement. I will be there for you to lower stress, anxiety, and pressure, and be your constant cheerleader through every step of your birthing and postpartum journey.

Recent review

My husband and I hired Jill after going back and forth on whether we even wanted/needed a doula and are so happy we did! From the moment we got pregnant, we knew that we were hospital birth people. Though friends and family had suggested a doula, those friends and family were the home birth / bathtub birth, free spirited, yogi types and nothing at all like us in terms of lifestyle or beliefs. We thought do we really need to spend the extra money? Would a doula would be too hippy-dippy for us? We interviewed four or five different doulas in the area and decided we’d give it a go and that Jill best fit our vibe. She was all about empowering us and not the least bit judgmental of our desire to have an OB, birth in a hospital, and leave the epidural on the table as a possibility. All in all, with Jill’s help we ended up having the unmedicated vaginal birth I desperately wanted but was too afraid to outright commit to from the outset. And if there’s anything I can say to those on the fence about a doula because of the cost, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE on delivery day. For us, that doula was Jill. She provided the physical and mental support my partner and I would have otherwise never even known we were missing (massage, position changes, words of encouragement, you name it!), and was 100% the reason we were able to have the unforgettable experience we did! We wish everyone could have a Jill with them on delivery day!!
