Hi everyone! My name is Brylee, and I am a Newborn Care Specialist and night nanny with a deep love for supporting families during the newborn and postpartum season. Caring for little ones has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up my family fostered babies which was a huge part of my life, and I’ve been babysitting and working with children ever since. I’m passionate about creating a calm, safe, and nurturing environment where both babies and parents can rest, feel supported, and grow in confidence. Families often call me the “baby whisperer,” and I truly believe caring for newborns is both my calling and my joy. I am also currently pursuing training as a birth and postpartum doula so I can continue serving families in an even deeper way. Outside of work, my faith, community, and time with loved ones are most important to me. I feel incredibly grateful to do work that allows me to care for others during such a meaningful season of life.

I’m a mom of three, and my journey into postpartum work was shaped by my own experience navigating early motherhood. I’m a double-certified postpartum doula through ProDoula and ABG, as well as a newborn care specialist, specializing in overnight care that prioritizes rest, recovery, and ease for the entire family. I’ve supported numerous families both independently and as part of a professional doula team, caring for a wide range of newborn needs—including twins and preemies. I’m confident in managing varying feeding schedules, routines, and transitions, always meeting each family where they are. My approach is warm, intuitive, and steady. I focus on creating a calm, nurturing environment so parents can truly rest, while feeling fully supported and at ease. Families often share that I bring a grounding, reassuring presence during such a transformative time.

My name is Libby (she/her) and I have been working across the reproductive justice spectrum for the last decade. I serve as an advocate for survivors of violence. I have lobbied around repealing antiquated abortion laws, served as an in-clinic abortion doula in two clinics and been involved in policy work and abortion education with an Indigenous led grassroots organization in Northern NM, Tewa Women United. It is important to me that my role as a doula is rooted in larger activism as well as direct care, because I believe a more compassionate landscape around abortion care will support the individual's experience as well. I am a full spectrum doula and a student midwife and I love showing up for people in their reproductive journey. I hope to hold many more through this profound period. It is important to me that I get to show up to you not as another “expert” in the room, but on equal footing, while using my experience and radical presence to help amplify your needs and wants.

Hi! My name is Julianna, and I am a birth + postpartum doula and reproductive health educator based in San Diego, California. I am deeply passionate about supporting people through their fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and transition into parenthood with care that is informed, grounded, and non-judgmental.

My name is McKenna and I’m a postpartum doula and a newborn care specialist dedicated to helping families feel confident, supported, and cared for during one of the most transformative times in life.

I am blessed to live in sunny San Diego, CA. I do call myself a midwest gal though, and grew up in various states. I graduated High School in Illinois and went to college in Indiana. My husband and I moved to San Diego in 2013 and never looked back. Our son was born in 2023, so we are currently navigating toddler-hood and all the joys that come with it. I also love dogs, and we lost our very beloved Pug in 2026. I have worked in corporate HR for 10+ years and believe the career transition to being a postpartum doula is exactly what the universe had planned for me. Outside of work (which no longer feels like "work") I love to be outside as much as possible - at parks, beaches, going on long walks, and finding any family friendly events going on around the city. I also love to cook and experiment with new recipes. My family loves to try new restaurants and travel. In a nutshell, we like to do anything and everything that feels like an adventure. I am also fluent in Spanish and hope to be a resource to bilingual families!
