Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Gardena, CA

Hi, I am Angel and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula as well as NICU Doula located in Southern California. I became a doula after having my own my kids and having a desire to help other families on this journey into parenthood. Pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding is a lot. I am here to help guide and support you thru the process.

I'm a New Yorker of Caribbean descent, a tomboy at heart who loves hard, plays sports, and is creative. A former educator, I see pregnancy as sacred community work and my clients as family. My doula philosophy is rooted in radical presence, cultural humility, and Christ-centered service. I believe every birth deserves advocacy, informed choice, and a warm village wrapped around it. My intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where families feel seen, heard, and held in their full stories, whether in joy, grief, or the in-between. I try to live out the Acts-church model, showing up, sharing life, and walking alongside families as I follow God's divine direction while continually learning and growing. I've been a doula for about five years and am now on my journey to become a midwife, carrying that same heart of service into clinical care. Serving the community is my daily bread; I get to serve God's children with my hands, my skills, and my presence, and that is what truly gives me life.
