Hello! My name is Becci. I am a Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, Sleep Consultant, and Baby Educator. I am located in Orange County but serve in LA as well. I also work virtually (classes, sleep education, etc.). I love working with families and helping them from the moment they become pregnant with education, through the 4-month sleep regression if needed for sleep training. I serve all families and enjoy being a part of this beautiful time in their lives. My goal is to bring calm to the chaos and help parents gain confidence with their baby. When I'm not busy helping educate, providing hands-on support, or making sleep plans, I enjoy spending time with my husband of 27 years and my children.

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.

As a DONA certified Birth Doula, I am thrilled to be able to help families during one of the most exciting and beautiful moments in their lives-having a baby. I'm passionate about nutrition and natural remedies but as someone who is continuing their studies in the medical field, I am also very science oriented in my practice. I believe people should be able to have the birth they desire with the support they deserve.

Hi Parents! I’m Nathielle, and I work as a night nurse, helping families care for their little ones overnight so they can get the rest they need. I have more than 7 years of hands-on experience with newborns, toddlers, and even twins, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your baby while you sleep. I’m calm, caring, and always try to bring a sense of peace and routine to the night, whether it’s helping with feedings, diaper changes, or just comforting a fussy baby back to sleep. I’ve worked with many different families and know that every baby—and every household—is a little different. I do my best to adapt to what works for you and your child, and I’m always happy to offer gentle guidance when needed. Whether you’re first-time parents or juggling multiple little ones, I’m here to support you and help make those nighttime hours a little easier!

Our birth experience was calm, connected, and empowering thanks to Tiffany’s steady support. She brought such peace to the room—reminding us to breathe, trust, and surrender. It was the most beautiful experience of my life.

Hello! I’m so happy you’ve found me. I love being a midwife, it’s a deep part of who I am. Since I was very young, I’ve had a unique love and wonder for babies and families. Serving families as a midwife is my dream job, my calling, and there is nothing I’d rather spend my days (and nights) doing. I’ve devoted the last near decade of my life to birth work. I’ve been privileged to walk with hundreds of families on parts of their special journeys. It’s through these years of experience that I’ve grown my passions by seeing how much work there is to do to improve the lives of families. My job as a midwife is to nurture the natural process of pregnancy and birth, and to continually evaluate when birth is normal and remaining low-risk, and when a higher-risk situation is developing. Birth is an amazing and powerful process, demanding a healthy respect and awe. I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hello! My name is Bianca and I am a full spectrum (birth, postpartum and loss doula) serving the Los Ángeles county area. I focus on traditional and spiritual practices because I believe that birth is a sacred initiation to go deeper, and that all the wisdom that we are looking for on how to navigate is already available within. I provide nutrition, lactation, herbal, and labor prep support to all clients. My goal is to make you feel as empowered about YOUR ideal birth. Outside of birthwork, I absolutely love crafts, hiking, traveling, writing, making medicine, and being with my family and friends. Looking forward to working with you!

My path to becoming a doula was forged during a deeply personal experience, as I navigated the challenges of healing my own womb from an ovarian cyst. Faced with the possibility of losing an ovary and the potential inability to have more children, I turned to holistic remedies and the power of herbs. Through this transformative journey, I not only healed myself but also discovered a profound calling to share the knowledge I gained with other women of color who often face similar struggles with womb health. Driven by this newfound purpose, I embarked on a mission to become a holistic fertility doula. As I delved into the realm of fertility, I uncovered not only the prevalence of womb health issues among women of color but also the systemic disparities and injustices they face in their pregnancy and delivery experiences. This revelation ignited a fire within me to advocate for fair treatment and support for all mothers-to-be.

Hi, I’m Chloe Morin. Mother of two, a bonus mom of one, and now, a birth and postpartum doula. My journey into motherhood has shaped me in ways I never expected, revealing both the beauty and the deep vulnerability of bringing life into the world. I believe there are two moments in life when heaven meets earth—marriage and birth. Birth is raw, powerful, and life-changing, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. My passion is to stand with women in one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, offering support, advocacy, and a steady presence, no matter what their journey looks like. Beyond birth, I am dedicated to postpartum care that truly nurtures. The fourth trimester is just as important as birth itself, and every mother deserves care that honors her healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My goal is simple: to ensure women feel supported, seen, and strong in this transformative season of life. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

Hands down the best doula I could have asked for! I’ve had 2 births without a doula and decided to have one for my 3rd birth. Previously I had epidurals and wanted to try a natural birth. I was able to voice my desires with Chloe and she truly gave me the courage to do it. My labor intensified so quick from early labor to transition within an hour. By the time I made it to the hospital I was already in transition, Chloe showed and immediately started doing whatever she could to help ease the pain and my inexperience with labor pains. She truly was such an essential voice in the room, it was truly the only voice I could focus on. I knew she was there for me and knew she was going to encourage me the whole way through. She truly has been such an answered prayer to all my fears and helped me through natural labor! I honestly could not imagine any other doula with me. She’s been so supportive in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She’s calm and relaxing yet cheerful and uplifting lifting. Coming from a medical background myself I can honestly say she really is the best combination of medicine meets natural. She’s willing to lean alongside whatever goals you’re looking for in birth! Thank you Chloe, I honestly couldn’t imagine going through that labor without you!

I first found Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis when I was pregnant with my first baby and working as a bedside nurse in a busy hospital postpartum unit. I knew my body was meant to give birth, but I felt the negativity and fear of those around me was preventing me from enjoying this transformative time in my life. Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis gave me back my joy and even more. It gave me a confidence and excitement about birth that I didn't even know was possible. I went on to become a board certified lactation consultant and certified maternal newborn nurse and also attended many births as an L&D nurse. 11 years and 2 Hypnobabies of my own later, I am so happy to share this complete childbirth education class with my community and bring joy and love into the lives of birthing families.

Hello! My name is Jillian Manriquez. I am an enthusiast of humans helping humans. Although I have not experienced any of my own pregnancies, I have physically, mentally, and emotionally with my mom's three experiences. I've seen my mom go through each pregnancy differently as well as each of their births being unique in their own way but beautiful in every way. I have experienced seeing a supportive birth team by your side helps every woman feel more empowered and supported during this beautiful experience. My reason for becoming a birth doula is to come alongside each woman to support their desired birth plan and help them feel empowered through a vulnerable time.
