Hi, I’m Maribel, a DONA International-certified birth doula and birth photographer based in Irvine, serving Orange County and select surrounding communities in South Los Angeles County/South Bay, the western Inland Empire, and North County San Diego. I didn’t always know what a doula was. I found this work because I needed that kind of support myself, and experiencing what it felt like to have someone calm, familiar, and fully in my corner changed the way I understood birth. Eventually, it changed the direction of my work too. Today, I try to offer families that same sense of steadiness and connection. Before labor, we build a relationship and practice tools so the day feels more familiar. During birth, I adapt to what you need: hands-on comfort, positioning, breathing and relaxation, experience with different tools, a softer ambiance for relaxation, partner coaching, and support around informed decisions. I am especially intentional about partners; my role is to support them, not take their place, so they can spend less energy wondering what to do and more energy simply being your partner. After birth, I stay connected with early postpartum care for the families whose births I attend, including emotional, educational, and practical support within my scope. Photography comes from my love of real-life storytelling. Birth is so absorbing that there are parts of your own story you may not get to see while you are living them: the looks, the gestures, or the small moments surrounding the first time you meet your baby. My documentary approach is quiet and unobtrusive, preserving those pieces so you can return to them later. Birth photography may be booked on its own or woven into doula care. My broader full-spectrum doula work also includes standalone abortion support, pregnancy loss, and infant loss support. Eligible doula services may be covered through Medi-Cal or select commercial insurance benefits.

Hello!! I’m Emma (she/they) and I am a birth and postpartum doula! I’m currently finishing my certification through Bebo Mia and I have a bachelors degree in Nursing. I am a strong believer of birth and postpartum being unique to each family and that it is a sacred experience for all families. I have always had a deep passion for labour, birth and postpartum that becoming a doula has been a calling fulfilled!

Consultant. Doula. Mama. www.mydoulasarah.com Twenty+ years ago, I ran into a college acquaintance at a friends' wedding. She told me she was a Doula. It was the first I'd ever heard of it. Shortly thereafter, I returned to the New York publishing and theater world, later moved to British Columbia to pursue degrees and a career in arts education, birthed my two favorite humans, and then moved to the Bay Area, California, where I was welcomed into the Jewish professional community. Throughout my movement in these roles, I never stopped thinking about what life would be like as a Doula. It took some time, but here I am, pursuing a decades-long dream. And when I'm not reminiscing about my own transformational career path, or working with growing families across the Bay Area, I'm still singing my children to sleep (even the one who's now taller than me).

Good afternoon ladies. I chose to become a doula because I truly love being able to support women during one of the most important moments of their lives. My background in healthcare and maternity care has shown me how much of a difference it can make when a woman feels heard, supported, respected, and reassured. I want women to feel like they have someone in their corner—someone who will listen to them, support their choices, answer their questions, and remind them of their strength. I want every woman to feel seen, heard, and supported throughout her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, rather than feeling like she has to go through it alone. Being able to comfort and encourage families during such a life-changing experience is something I’m genuinely passionate about. I also want to give back to my community by providing compassionate and culturally sensitive support in English, French, and Haitian Creole. For me, being a doula is more than just a job—it’s about making women feel empowered, cared for, and truly supported when they need it most. ❤️
