Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Encinitas, CA

Hello Everyone ! My name is Destiny and I am a Doula in the San Diego community. Since I’ve become a doula I have never felt more aligned in my life! The military brought me here to San Diego but birth work is keeping me here. I’ve wanted to deliver babies my entire life and I knew that was the path I needed to go down to lead me to the road I want to drive on. My end goal is midwifery. But the short term goal is full spectrum doula. Can’t wait to meet you wonderful people and I can’t wait to work with you to make your birth one of the best moment that you’ll always remember !

With the birth of my niece in 2022, I began learning about the world of birth support and decided to take the jump into birth work at the start of 2025. In March, I trained as a doula with DONA at San Diego County Midwives, and knew I wanted to start my work in the volunteer space. Since May 2025, I have volunteered with UCSD's Hearts & Hands doula program and have logged over 150 hours on the Labor & Delivery floor as a badged member of the team, giving me invaluable hands-on experience for all types of births. I have continued my education in multiple areas including: -Peanut ball training with San Diego County Midwives -Spinning Babies® workshop -WIC's lactation seminar -Observed a 5-week Childbirth/Hypnobirthing course with The Birth Education Center. -I am trained in HIPAA protocols, hospital best practices, and am CPR certified. I now have plans to take what I have learned in my volunteer births and further education and start accepting private clients in 2026! Outside of the birth room I enjoy reading, hosting dinner parties, eating Wayfarer pastries at the park, puttering around the garden, and spending time with my husband and family. I am wishing you nothing but love and warmth during this transformative time and am available even if you just need someone to talk to.

Hi I'm Natalie! I’m a birth doula and childbirth educator, and my role is to support families through pregnancy and birth, with personal, informed, and practical care. Birth is unpredictable, and many parents enter it unsure of what to expect or how they will handle the intensity of labor. As a doula, I’m there to help you navigate that experience in real time - offering continuous emotional support, practical tools, and a calm presence throughout your birth. I support you with comfort measures, guidance with movement and positioning, and helping you stay grounded as labor progress. My support is flexible - I can be hands-on or more in the background, based on what feels right for you. I also support your partner, giving them clear ways to be involved and confident in how they help you. My approach is to respect and support your choices. I don’t have an agenda for how your birth should look. Whether you’re planning a medicated or unmedicated birth, or your plans change along the way, I’m there to help you feel informed, supported, and able to make decisions that feel right for you. I also help you understand what’s happening during labor and what your options are, so you can feel less overwhelmed and more capable of making an informed decisions. A big part of my support is emotional. Having someone by your side who knows you, understands your preferences, and can help you stay connected to yourself in the moment can make a meaningful difference in how you experience your birth. Ultimately, my role is to walk alongside you, offering reassurance and practical support, so you can move through birth feeling confident and empowered.

I am a trauma informed birth doula, childbirth educator and certified lactation educator. I believe birth works best when you leave it alone unless there is a true medical need to intervene, and strive to help folks retain their power during this most transformative journey.

I live in OC with my three amazing children! If I’m not at a birth, you will find us at the beach surfing, playing, and enjoying the outdoors. I fell in love with all things birth when I became pregnant with my 1st child in 2008. As an avid reader and researcher, I made it my goal to learn everything I possibly could about the biology and physiology of birth, and how to have optimal health during and after pregnancy for both me and my baby. Like many first-time moms I have worked with, I had hesitations about giving birth to my 1st baby outside of a hospital setting. After all my research, classes, and conversations with midwives, I gained confidence in aiming for an unmedicated birthing experience. I found some lovely midwifes who had a midwifery ward in a hospital and gave birth to my 1st son unmedicated. Twenty-four hours of intense back labor from a posterior-positioned baby …but, I did it! My body actually did it! After birthing my first, statistically knowing it was the most challenging and longest labor, gave me confidence to choose home births for my second and third children. I had a successful home water birth with my second child and wanted to repeat that with my third. However, while laboring on the toilet with him, I suddenly dropped to my knees when he began to crown, and he became known as my bathroom floor “butter birth” baby :). Though I chose unmedicated births for myself, I do know it is not for everyone, which is more than OK! I quickly learned from my role as a doula that every woman’s body, medical history, and background are uniquely different. Many factors play into choosing the right birth for you. I am here to come alongside you, help you make an informed decision, and then support you every step of the way. I offer very personable and compassionate care. My approach is non-agenda-based, trauma-informed, and holistic-minded. No matter your history or past experiences, I am here to be a safe place for you. I will help educate, support, and advocate for you and your personal wishes. I look forward getting to know you and building a trusting relationship to where you feel 100% comfortable having me by your side for one of the biggest days of your life. 🙂 I am here for you! Lauren

I'm Brazilian, wife and a mom of two girls. My cultural Background and my daughter's birth experiences are deeply connected to my decision to become a doula. Growing up, I used to listen to my mother's birth stories, which helped me see childbirth as a grand and beautiful event. For me, the idea of giving birth was always sacred - but it was through the births of my two daughters that I truly understood what it means to give birth. After my second birth, I knew I wanted to become the kind of support person who had been essential to me during my own experience. In 2021 I began walking the path to become a Doula.

Having a Bachelors led me into becoming a certified Lactation Counselor. Hearing my mothers stories from their birth trauma, experiences within the medical system, has led me to receive my doula certification in order to be a better asset to service my families. I decided to take the Doula workshop under DONA due hearing my previous prenatal and postpartum clients stories. 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.
