Jessica Breiter

Ever since Jessica can remember, she has followed her calling to care for others. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a nurse, and she has never deviated from that path. When she was able to formally follow her passion, she volunteered at CHOC hospital while in high school to care for sick infants. Jessica was accepted into the rigorous five- year nursing program at San Francisco State University, and was one of the 50% of remaining nursing students that successfully earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and passed her Board Exams to be licensed as a registered nurse. While enrolled in her rigorous courses at SFSU, she also became certified as a doula and donated her time to work with low- income families and assist women in the prison population at their births. Jessica’s experience during clinicals at different hospitals in the Bay Area made her question some of the traditional protocols that hospitals use, such as intervention in all births, even those that are at low risk. She began to explore other options, and was hired as an intern at The Sanctuary and Birth Center in Los Angeles. After graduating from SFSU. Jessica sought a practical balance and applied to and was accepted into the Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery where she learned and practiced a holistic approach to childbirth. During this 2 ½ year program, she was on call 24/7 for births, prenatal, and postpartum visits that were sandwiched in between her coursework. Jessica graduated, passed her Board Exams, and is a CPM-LM- Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife. Jessica has participated in more than 145 home births, and over 200 hospital births; she is well acquainted with the protocols of both. Jessica believes that in order to be the best midwife for her clients, she must be as educated and knowledgeable as possible, which led Jessica to complete courses in the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Midwifery program at Georgetown University. Jessica continues to further her education by staying up to date on advances in the health care field, and continue her studies at Frontier Nursing University. Jessica has officially graduated with a Master's of Science in Nursing with honors. Jessica’s ultimate goal is to combine the benefits of both western and eastern medical practices to her patients. As of yet, there isn't any other licensed midwife that has the breadth and depth of education that Jessica has achieved. Jessica believes in including the patient as part of the decision-making process. Jessica’s philosophy is that a woman should learn to trust her body and allow nature to take its course in a holistic manner when she is low risk and healthy—intervention is not always the solution. Jessica will be the strongest and most ardent advocate for mom and baby. Mom must also be educated and informed, and thus, she has responsibilities too, in order to create the most beautiful and awe-inspiring journey that the miracle of life has to offer. Working with Jessica to assist you in your home birth or water birth, you will never be disappointed. Jessica services the Orange County and Los Angeles County for home births, vbac, and water births as a midwife.

Laci Mattson

My journey to becoming a mother was not easy. I had two very different and difficult births that taught me a lot about myself and the challenges of childbirth. My first birth was a long and exhausting labor that ended in an emergency cesarean. I felt scared, helpless, and disappointed that I couldn’t have the natural birth I wanted. My second birth was a planned cesarian, I felt unprepared, anxious, and overwhelmed by the intensity of the experience and felt guilty for not trying to deliver naturally. Both of my births left me feeling traumatized and in need of healing. ​ These experiences made me realize that there is a gap in the traditional healthcare system when it comes to supporting mothers during birth. I felt that I didn’t get enough information, education, or emotional support from my providers, and that I had to advocate for myself and my baby. I decided to become a doula to fill that gap and to help other mothers have a better birth experience. As a doula, I offer personalized and continuous support to mothers before, during, and after birth. I help them prepare for their birth, cope with their pain, communicate with their providers, and celebrate their achievements. I want every mother to feel empowered, respected, and joyful during their birth.

Doula Laci is an amazing doula for all birthing people regardless of birth plan! Many other doulas I’ve met have pushed an exclusively “natural” birth plan but that doesn’t work for all bodies or families. Laci is amazing, understanding of multiple birth experiences and needs, and a deeply empathetic individual. You couldn’t find a better doula for your birth.

Hello! Are you looking for in home Childbirth Education or Postpartum weekend support? Thank you for looking at my profile. I'm excited to learn all about you and how best I can support you! I have worked as a Nanny for 17 years and I'm a mother to 4 of my own who are now adults. I work with a local postpartum doula agency but I am able to take clients that I meet on my own. Like you! I am registered on Trustline with a clean background, and CPR certified. I have completed 2 DONA workshops, Birth Doula and Postpartum Doula, but still working on my certification. I am a certified Childbirth Educator through Cornerstone Doula Training. The services I provide are: *Childbirth Education from a physiological standpoint and evidence based information. *Postpartum Doula support for overnights or daytime schedules. What that includes is a list created with you. Like many of us who have decided to become Doulas, I would like to provide the support and resources that I would have enjoyed. I have vivid postpartum memories of struggling to get through each day while absolutely sleep deprived and so stressed that I'm doing everything wrong. My goal is help you rest, feel nourished, and supported! I know that each parent and family are unique! My goal is to learn from you how can I support you. I'm not going to walk in assuming that I know how you feel or what your needs are. Every person is different! I feel each birthing and postpartum person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported. My fees are on the lower end than those you find with Doulas and Childbirth Educators with experience specific to birth work. Thank you for reading! I look forward to working with you.

Hi, I'm Rochelle! I'm a mom to three amazing kids, ages 20, 13, and 8, which means I'm living in ALL the seasons of motherhood at once! From elementary, junior high and college all at the same time, life is full, fun, and always keeping me on my toes. My love for birth started when I was just 12 years old and witnessed my first baby being born. That experience stayed with me and sparked a passion I've carried ever since. After years of supporting women through birth, I became a trained birth doula three years ago, and I'm now working toward becoming a childbirth educator and lactation consultant. My doula style is laid-back, encouraging, and rooted in education, open communication, and a little humor! I've supported all types of births, and one thing I believe strongly is that your birth isn't about me, my preferences, or my convictions. It's about YOU. I'm 100% committed to respecting your values, choices, and wishes, whatever those look like. My role is to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident while creating the safe, compassionate, and supportive birth environment you envision. Michelle Cleavland, Cedar City Utah Doula Training DONA International - Capital City Doula & Parent Education Center - Doula Training DONA International - Capital City Doula & Parent Education Center - Lactation for Doulas I am cleared by the Dept of Justice as a "Custodian of Records" I also provide Insurance providers with a "Super Bill" for reimbursement of doula services. I do not bill insurance directly at this time.

Ro is amazing!! I am so thankful I found her, she helped me to achieve the natural birth I was hoping for! She was very understanding of my extra needs because my husband was deployed, and she was flexible with scheduling classes for when he got back to make sure he was prepared for the birth of our first child too. Prayer was a very important part of my birth plan, so I was very grateful to find a Doula that supported my Christian faith! From the first call, I felt like I could trust Ro. She instilled so much confidence about a process that obviously made me a little scared and nervous! I was so grateful to have her there to keep me calm and help me trust my body. She’s also just a great human and so fun, I can genuinely say I consider her a friend! We will also always cherish the beautiful photos she took during our birth. I can’t recommend Ro enough!

My name is Alyssa, and I’m a labor and postpartum doula dedicated to supporting families in San Diego as they navigate the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. I bring a calm and nurturing presence to every family I work with, blending my knowledge of physiological birth with tools for emotional and physical support. I’m also an herbalist and love incorporating nature’s remedies into my care, whether it’s for postpartum recovery or soothing moments during birth. Over the years, I’ve worked with countless clients, helping them feel empowered and informed every step of the way. My goal is to create a space where you feel confident, cared for, and deeply supported as you welcome your baby into the world.

Alyssa was a great source of support throughout my pregnancy journey. She was very responsive, made sure that I was prepared in every aspect and was present before, during, and after the birth. She always answered all my questions and made sure to provide resources that would further assist me and my baby. So glad I chose her ❤️

Certification verified NPI verified Accepts insurance

Hello, I’m Ariel Luna! I’m a birth and postpartum doula with nine years of experience and a genuine passion for supporting families through one of life’s most meaningful transitions. My journey in birth work began with a deep appreciation for the strength of women, the transformation of parenthood, and the importance of feeling supported during pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum experience. Over the past nine years, I’ve had the privilege of working with families throughout San Diego, California, supporting a diverse range of family structures, backgrounds, cultures, and parenting journeys. In October 2026, I relocated to Dallas, Texas, and am excited to bring my experience and passion for family-centered care to the Dallas community. I believe birth and postpartum care should never be one-size-fits-all. Every family deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, and supported without judgment. My approach is nurturing, trauma-informed, and grounded in meeting families where they are while honoring their individual preferences, values, and goals. As a doula, I value both the practical and emotional aspects of care. Sometimes support looks like helping a mother navigate labor with confidence, offering comfort and reassurance, or helping a partner feel more involved. Other times, it means caring for a newborn while parents rest, providing feeding guidance, preparing a nourishing meal, or simply creating space for a mother to recover and feel cared for. I offer in-person birth and daytime postpartum support throughout Dallas and surrounding communities, as well as virtual doula services nationwide. Virtual support allows me to connect with families anywhere in the country through personalized consultations, birth preparation, labor guidance, newborn education, feeding support, and ongoing postpartum check-ins. My additional offerings include prenatal and postnatal yoga and traditional Bengkung belly binding. I’m Carrot-approved and have experience working with Maven and Qualcomm family benefits, along with Loula insurance-based services for eligible California families. I also welcome qualifying FSA/HSA payments. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating your first weeks with a newborn, or looking for continued guidance and reassurance, my goal is to make sure you feel supported, empowered, and cared for throughout your journey. I’m grateful to continue this work in Dallas and look forward to connecting with families locally and nationwide. With warmth, Ariel Luna Birth & Postpartum Doula
