Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in El Centro, CA

Hi, Im Andrea. Founder of Maternal Haven, Birth + Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Creator of the Haven Circle™ Model of Care. I support families through the deeply transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Guided by the Haven Circle’s core pillars of connection, continuity, restoration, and community care, my approach blends holistic healing with evidence-informed practices to create a grounded and nurturing experience for every family. I specialize in providing intentionally curated labor, birth, and postpartum support that honors both traditional wisdom and modern perinatal needs. My work bridges the gap between these worlds ensuring families feel truly held, informed, and empowered as they step into parenthood. Through Maternal Haven, I offer care that is restorative, culturally mindful, and deeply personalized. Because your journey deserves a circle of support that evolves with you, every step of the way. The Values That Shape My Work: I’m a first-generation Latina raised in a multigenerational household where caregiving was shared, community was central, and support was collective rather than individual. I grew up with a deep understanding of the “village”, mutual aid, interdependence, and emotional presence as foundational to well-being. Those early values shaped my path into caregiving. I began my work supporting families as a nanny during children’s most formative years, and later transitioned into birth and postpartum doula care, childbirth education, and mentorship for emerging doulas. Across each role, one belief has remained constant: meaningful support is built through continuity, not urgency. How I Support Families: My approach sits at the intersection of emotional wellness, cultural humility, and practical guidance. I honor ancestral knowledge while also supporting families as they navigate modern perinatal systems and healthcare structures. Through Maternal Haven, I offer support that evolves as families’ needs change, providing steadiness across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum rather than isolated moments of care. A Circle of Care That Grows With You: Whether I’m facilitating a prenatal session, supporting someone through labor, or offering quiet presence during postpartum recovery, my intention remains the same: to help families feel informed, supported, and confident as they step into parenthood. Your journey deserves care that is thoughtful, restorative, and personal. Care that adapts as you do. Care that walks with you, every step of the way.

I have extensive experience in trauma informed care. It is my greatest joy to support folks through the sacred portals of pregnancy ,childbirth, and the fourth trimester.

I began this journey while working at the CDC, hoping that birthing room experience would inform my long-term goal of helping improve maternal health outcomes for all families. In return, my MPH and CDC background give me a solid understanding of health disparities and evidence-based care that shapes how I support my clients. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I trained and certified through the Hearts and Hands program at UC San Diego Health as a volunteer. I have had the privilege of supporting over 40 births, including unmedicated, medicated, and cesarean deliveries. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• If you are expecting and looking for emotional support, physical comfort, an informed advocate in the birthing room, or a calm and warm presence to help guide you through labor, I would be honored to be part of your birth team.

I’ve always been a doula, a giver, a sister, a person to lean on. I love all aspects of what I do, whether it’s physically holding hips or emotionally holding space. Within my practice I try to achieve a 50:50 balance of the spiritual, energetic with the scientific, evidence-based. As I learn more about you, our conversations shift to augment the type of support that best resonates with you and supports your goals. I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through DONA (Doulas of North America) and ToLabor. I have attended many births in various settings - homebirths, birth centers and hospitals. I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, spinning babies, breastfeeding, postpartum, newborn care and holding space for pregnancy loss. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you are

Hi, I’m Alina! A Chicana birth worker, wife, and mama with a deep passion for supporting families through one of life’s most transformative seasons. As a trained birth doula, certified lactation counselor, and student midwife, I bring both knowledge and heart into every space I enter. My care is rooted in culture, connection, and community. I intentionally weave my Chicana heritage into my practice, honoring traditions, creating space for cultural expression, and supporting families in ways that feel familiar, respectful, and empowering. I believe birth is not just a medical event, but a deeply personal and cultural experience that deserves to be protected and celebrated. As a nurturing guide, I’m here to walk alongside you, whether that means holding space during labor, supporting your feeding journey, or helping you feel seen, heard, and confident in your choices. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where you can step into your power as a parent with trust and peace.

I am not here to judge anyone’s decisions or beliefs. My job is to support you in your choices. It is your birth experience let’s do it your way. When it comes to my clients I like to have a gentle touch, and a grounding presence. I also find adding in a dash of humor here and there helps lighten the mood. I am a strong ally of the LBGTQIA+ community, and would be more than happy to take on and support any clients who are part of that community. My doula experience began at UCSD through the Hearts and Hands program, and I still volunteer there today.

Hello my name is Bettina Borrelli. I am 30 year old Mexican, Italian and East Indian, American. Born and raised in San Diego, California. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2016 and was certified in 2019 for Prenatal and Perinatal Massage Therapy. That same year of 2019 I became a certified Birth Doula. I have assisted with many births in a birthing clinic and in the hospital and also have had the gift of being the Doula for my sister. I’ve always had the soul of a caretaker and a love and interest for assisting with bringing a new life into this world. Ever since I started this new career path. I’ve realized that I have found my passion, helping mothers and their families start their new chapter with their brand new baby. Stay Rooted ! Sending endless love and light to you all * Profile picture is my nephew with premission from my sister :)

Becoming a doula is deeply personal to me. As a single mom, I understand how important it is to feel supported, heard, and cared for during life's most vulnerable moments. My goal is to provide compassionate, wholehearted care so every mother feels empowered, safe, and never alone throughout her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. In my work as a licensed esthetician, I've spent years helping women feel confident and cared for, and I bring that same calm, nurturing presence to every family I serve. When I'm not supporting clients, you'll find me spending time with my son, practicing yoga, hiking, camping, baking, or volunteering in my church and local community. I believe every family deserves personalized support, encouragement, and someone who truly believes in them from beginning to end.

With 15 years of experience as a dedicated doula, I’ve had the honor of supporting countless families through the transformative journey of birth and early parenthood. As a proud mom of six, I bring a deep, personal understanding of the joys and challenges that come with welcoming a new baby. My hands-on experience, combined with years of professional support, has shaped me into a trusted newborn expert—offering compassionate, practical guidance to help parents feel confident and cared for during this sacred season of life.

I have always been someone who loves to take care of others. For family and friends, I was the one they’d call in an emergency, when someone is passing, when life decisions were being made. I went to college to become a nurse because I wanted to ensure I had a career where I could support people. God works in mysterious ways and I wasn’t able to apply for the nursing program at the college I went to. I had decided to get a degree in Health Systems Management and later, to do the accelerated nursing program. Plans don’t typically work on the way you dream and I found myself two kids later, 1 year too late, unable to apply for the accelerated nursing program. During this season, I had Andrew, our child that wasn’t birthed with the support of a doula, and I knew, being a doula was my answer. I’ve had felt unseen, unheard and unimportant when I was giving birth and I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to others. I’m often get introduced as “Doula Jenn” and, I love it. I don’t just doula people through childbirth, I support through life. Parenthood is hard, marriages are hard, finding connection with friends is hard and I want to come alongside you in life. I’m an active member of the High Vibe Mom Tribe and I host virtual book clubs several times a year to support women through their marriages.

Hello 🧡 My name is Priscilla and I am bilingual in spanish. I majored in Human Services with the intention of assisting mothers. I am also trauma informed.

My desire is to come along families in order to assist them with the birth they desire from providing information and support for their birth journey. I have six years being in the home visiting program (my career), over a decade in the mental health space and currently working towards my International Board Certification Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification.

After a successful 15 year career in nonprofit fundraising and international higher education, I found my life’s purpose in supporting growing families during one of the most life changing event, childbirth. My doula journey started in 2017 and I quickly integrated my years of yoga practice into my doula services by completing my 200-hour and prenatal yoga teacher training in 2018 and my traditional Thai massage training in 2019. My services are rooted in my Buddhist upbringing and the belief in using our innate abilities and the abundant resources we have to face life's challenges with full consent, faith and fortitude.

Hi parents! My name is Nicole Danley and I am a doula located in Southern California. I have been a doula since 2021, and I am also a student midwife with National College of Midwifery. I am a mother of two amazing teenagers, and one surrogate baby in 2021. My journey into the birth world began right after my surrogate journey, as the birth was very traumatic and life altering.
