Hi, I'm Aly! I am a Labor & Postpartum Doula, Yoga Instructor, and hold my Masters degree in Social Justice. I am a nurturer and advocate! ​Clients have described me as empathetic, calm, appropriately humorous, knowledgeable, and unafraid to speak up to ensure that both the birthing person and baby are safe and comfortable. I strive to make every environment as empowering, warm, and equitable as possible. I am passionate about being a mama & partner, running, cooking, hiking my way through National Parks, finding the best lavender latte in town, and most of all, building meaningful relationships with others. I will nurture you, empower you, keep you well-fed and rested, and support your choices and questions as you prepare to welcome this new life. When your baby is born, you are also born as a parent. I’m here to hold you through that amazing (and sometimes overwhelming) shift in identity. Let’s connect!

Aly was amazing and super easy to work with. She communicated quickly and answered all my questions during our consultation. I did my placenta encapsulation with her and she was on top of it as soon as we let her know I was in labor. She dropped off my pills and even included a little extra treat for us. Definitely recommend her services. On top of it all, she’s been super sweet and has checked up on me ppt. Thanks Aly!!

My name is Val, and I have over two decades as a birth doula in San Diego, California. I have a health care background and value this aspect of bringing my experience to all the births I support. My philosophy for birth, is to remember that a woman will always remember how she was spoken to, and treated on the day of her giving birth. I love this work, it is a calling and truly an honor to be invited to a birth. I had a mom tell me one time, while she was searching for a doula, after asking her sister who had used a doula for her second birth, responded with the following: "Using a doula is the difference of flying first class compared to coach!" This mom went on to have a fantastic experience.

Where do I even begin. Val gave me the most incredible birth experience, and I truly don’t think I could have done it without her. You can immediately tell she has a strong background and a lot of experience. There’s a calm confidence about her that made me feel safe from the very beginning. It gave me so much peace of mind, especially as a first-time mom who was honestly SO nervous and scared to give birth. She was patient, attentive, and unbelievably kind. In moments where I felt anxious or unsure, she grounded me. She empowered me in a way I didn’t know I needed. She made me feel strong and capable. What I loved most is how she truly catered everything to me. She listened, she adjusted, she showed up exactly how I needed her to. And she did it all while feeling so personable and warm. I cannot thank her enough for the role she played in bringing my baby into the world. I will absolutely want her by my side for any future births. 🤍

We were so lucky to work with Carissa for 6 months during our daughter’s infancy (Dec 2021 - May 2022). Carissa provided infant care for our daughter, including support with feeding, daytime sleep, diapering, and time outside. She also provided extensive support through healthy and nourishing meal preparation - both for myself and my partner during our extended postpartum period, as well as for our daughter when she transitioned to incorporating solid foods. In addition, Carissa kept our household calm, functioning, and well-managed by providing light housekeeping and support (e.g., dishes, infant laundry). Carissa is warm and kind in all that she does - we always welcomed and felt comfortable with her in our home. And our (challenging and very particular!) daughter loved her from day one - they shared a close and special bond until our move out of state. For folks preparing for or in the midst of a postpartum experience, do yourself a favor and hire Carissa! She made our transitional time into parents so much brighter and better cared for.

Naomi Walker

Hello! My name is Naomi. I am a newborn care specialist, doula, and aspiring Midwife. I have been working with infants for over 10 years, primarily focusing on the newborn stage. I have extensive experience working with multiples, all feeding support, even g-tube feeding. I am a community centered provider, which is why I am working towards being certified as a Full Spectrum Doula training and hopefully midwifery school. When it comes to providing post-partum support, my philosophies are gentle and feeding led. I want my clients to feel supported, and I want to help build their confidence caring for their children without overstepping.

Naomi is a wonderful doula and newborn care specialist. She listened and cares for all of her clients and their extended family members! She became a wonderful member of the family during her time with us. She provided prenatal care during pregnancy, including nursery and home walkthroughs and daily check-ins leading up to the birth of our twins. She was a wonderful partner at the hospital and supported all of our wishes during and after the birth. When we arrived home, she helped us tremendously, bringing home twins and adjusting to our new lives as parents. She helped us create a schedule, organize our home, breastfeeding and bottle feeding, and daily activities while we were at home. She is an invaluable resource, doing research and providing updates during overnights so we can address things in the morning. She also provided feedback for our doctors when one of the twins had some feeding issues and was supportive of our decisions, while also providing educated insight and feedback to help. She is the most wonderful person to have on your team, and I think she provides so much to every family she works with.

This September, my husband and I had the pleasure of having Noa as our birth doula, and we truly couldn’t be more grateful for her and Alex. From the very beginning, we felt so comfortable, supported, and connected with them. They made themselves incredibly accessible throughout the entire experience and provided us with resources for anything we needed, even beyond what they directly covered. I had a 20-hour labor and delivery that was completely unmedicated, and I truly don’t believe I could have gotten through it without Noa by my side. Her encouragement, guidance, and reassurance through every stage of labor and every intense contraction were exactly what I needed. Because of the labor preparation they provided, my husband felt confident helping me through the beginning stages of labor, and once we got to the hospital, he and Noa worked seamlessly as a team to make sure my needs were always being met. As a nurse myself, I initially didn’t think I would need an advocate to help me with my birth preferences. But we were incredibly grateful to have Noa there. She was there to remind the healthcare team of our wishes, advocate for our preferences, and remain firm when needed, allowing my husband and me to stay focused on the birth of our baby. Noa was such an integral part of one of the most important experiences of our lives. She went above and beyond in every way, and we will forever consider her family. We are so grateful for everything she did for us and already know she will be by our side for all of our future births. We cannot recommend Noa and Alex enough! ❤️

I have always had a passion for working with children and families. I grew up on a small island in the heart of the Florida Keys. From an early age, I began babysitting and nannying. Once I graduated from high school, I decided to major in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and returned to the Keys to teach elementary school. For 10 years, I worked with many families and children of different ages and abilities, including those with special needs. During this time, I also began practicing yoga and as cliché as it may sound, yoga changed my life. It has provided me with an outlet to focus the mind, control the breath, and explore and appreciate the body. I decided that I wanted to share the powerful and lasting benefits of this practice with others. I have studied hatha, vinyasa, yoga philosophy, meditation, standup paddleboard yoga, and pregnancy + postnatal yoga. It was during my pregnancy + postnatal yoga training that I became interested in becoming a doula. I felt compelled to find a way to provide much needed support for individuals and families before, during, and after birth. I decided then, to pursue a new life and career path. I trained through DONA International to become a certified birth and postpartum doula. I have taken various additional trainings such as Body Ready Method®, Spinning Babies® workshops, rebozo techniques, LGBTQ+ family equality, Spinning Babies® certified parent education, basics of breastfeeding, and infant first aid and CPR. I am committed to using my experience, knowledge, and ability to hold space to provide unbiased informational, emotional, and physical support that empowers you to make the right choices for yourself and your family.

I cannot express how much Shaina helped me in my pregnancy and birth experience. This was my first time giving birth. For our initial virtual visit, she shared so much information on different types of stretches, movements, and hospital jargon that was very beneficial beforehand. I ended up being induced due to a medical reason, and I don't think I could have given birth without Shaina. She help me with contractions by using a tens machine, she used pressure points, massaged my shoulders while I was in pain, reminded me to relax and how to breathe. When you're in a high stress moment like birth, you forget all of the things you learned, ex. Breathing/moving, so it was helpful to have someone to remind you of the helpful tools! Most importantly, she was an amazing advocate. I consulted her when it came to making decisions during labor. She was so knowledgeable, she would often advocate on my behalf to the nurses to get me what I needed! She didn't take no for an answer! I was so grateful to have her be part of my birth experience, and I would highly recommend her to any woman who wants to feel supported in birth!
