Ella Thompson - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Ella

Hello, my name is Ella Thompson. I am a DONA-certifying birth and postpartum doula, located in San Diego. I believe in empowering, educating, and nurturing individuals and families from pregnancy to postpartum. With a background in childcare and current continuing education in the realm of lactation, I am focused on providing individualized full-spectrum care. Birth and postpartum is powerful as much as it is raw, natural, and beautiful. It is my job to provide emotional, physical, and informational care to those I work with. How YOU choose to birth and navigate YOUR postpartum is MY priority and passion.
