Hello! I’m Joselyn, a proud mom who chose home births for my two little ones. Let's look back at my life before motherhood when the idea of childbirth intimidated me more than anything, thanks to all those stories and dramatic TV shows with women screaming their heads off in the delivery room. When I became pregnant with my daughter back in 2020, I dove into research, preparing my mind, body, and spirit for a positive birth—but I completely overlooked planning for postpartum and felt quite overwhelmed. Wanting to enhance my skills, I completed a 112-hour training with Bebo Mia Inc. and became certified with Pro Doula to become a full-spectrum doula. My journey also led me to explore the rich traditions of Mexican indigenous birth and postpartum practices, allowing me to honor my heritage while expanding my knowledge.

Hi, I’m the mama behind Corazon de Madre. My journey into birthwork began with my own unmedicated birth—an experience that completely transformed me and awakened a deep desire to help women birth in God’s glory, power, and peace. I’m a Certified Doula through Pain Free Birth, a program rooted in undisturbed, unmedicated faith-based birth support, and I am also a HypnoBabies trained HypnoDoula. I’m currently working toward becoming both an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and a Birthing from Within Childbirth Educator, blending clinical knowledge with creative, spiritual preparation. My approach weaves holistic traditions, ritual, and mindset work—using tools like birth art, journaling, and body-centered practices to help women connect deeply with themselves and their birth story. My dream is to offer perinatal healthcare that bridges Eastern wisdom and evidence-based care, honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Gia was such a grounding presence throughout my pregnancy and birth. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel supported the whole way through. From our prenatal visits to labor support, I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. So grateful for her!

I am Hadley, a birth and postpartum doula currently serving San Diego and Southern Orange Counties. I hope to be a nonjudgmental support, comfort, and safe space for families navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum seasons. I am passionate about meeting individuals and families where they are at and providing equitable advocacy and care to families of all identities and backgrounds.

Recent review

I had the best experience with Hadley as my doula. Being a first time mom and not knowing anything about the process, Hadley helped me every step of the way prenatally to my birth in the hospital. She is so patient, loving, and always made me so comfortable. During the process she answered any questions I had during pregnancy, labor, and birth. I would not want anyone else as my doula and I highly recommend her!

Hi, I’m Sara—a devoted doula with a deep passion for supporting families through both birth and the postpartum journey. I’ve had the privilege of being part of over 100 births, and I bring a calm, grounded presence along with a wide range of experience to every family I work with. As a mom of five—including twins—and someone who’s had home births myself, I truly understand how powerful, intense, and personal the transition into parenthood can be. Whether I’m by your side during labor or helping you navigate those tender early weeks at home, my goal is always the same: to provide steady, compassionate support tailored to your unique needs. Now that my own children are older, I’m thrilled to be reengaging fully with the work I love. Being part of this sacred chapter in people’s lives—both during birth and in those early postpartum days—is an incredible honor. If you’re looking for someone to walk with you through it all, I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Let’s take this step together.

As a postpartum doula, I am part of your village! I am a mom too!I know how overwhelmed I felt at the idea of bringing a newborn home, recovering from birth, and trying to breastfeed. Since the birth of my daughter, I have worked with many families, helping them thrive during the early postpartum period.

Recent review

Let me just say—it was truly a blessing to have found Reihaneh (Rey) Hadipour to support us on our newborn journey. From day one, she was an incredible help, especially for a first-time mom. Whether it was guiding us through different feeding positions, showing us how to bathe the baby, gently clipping those delicate little nails, or offering countless other thoughtful services, Rey brought both care and confidence to every moment. She comes with a wealth of experience and is truly a compassionate, skilled professional. We’re so grateful for her support during such a special and tender time in our lives

I focus on overnight newborn support and daytime “mommy’s helper” care—everything from feeding (bottle or breastfeeding support), diaper changes, baby laundry, and sanitizing bottles and pump parts, to helping establish healthy sleep habits and routines as your baby grows. Every family is unique, and I always tailor my care to meet your specific needs and parenting style. I’d love to connect, learn more about your family, and see how I might best support you during this exciting transition.

My journey began with a simple desire — to support women as they step into the transformative journey that is motherhood. I recognize that every mother's path is unique, with its own challenges and triumphs. I'm here to ensure that every step you take is met with understanding, knowledge, and unwavering support. Every mother's voice deserves to be heard, her choices respected, and her experiences validated. As an experienced birth and postpartum doula, I have seen the profound difference personalized care can make, and I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. You are the heart of this journey. They say it takes a village to raise a child. I would be honored to be part of yours!

Debra was very supportive and the best doula I could asked for. She was there when I gave birth to my first daughter, she made me feel heard and understood I would recommend her to anyone that needs a doula because she does above and beyond. In fact when I choose to have another baby I’ll make sure to contact her again to be my doula

I’ve always been a doula, a giver, a sister, a person to lean on. I love all aspects of what I do, whether it’s physically holding hips or emotionally holding space. Within my practice I try to achieve a 50:50 balance of the spiritual, energetic with the scientific, evidence-based. As I learn more about you, our conversations shift to augment the type of support that best resonates with you and supports your goals. I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through DONA (Doulas of North America) and ToLabor. I have attended many births in various settings - homebirths, birth centers and hospitals. I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, spinning babies, breastfeeding, postpartum, newborn care and holding space for pregnancy loss. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you are

Recent review

We were so grateful to have Terese's advice, guidance, and support for the first six weeks of our son's life. As new parents, we were very nervous about bringing a newborn home and Terese put us at such ease with her knowledge and experience. She showed us how to use all the baby gadgets (swaddles, breast pump, sterilizer, baby carrier etc) and made helpful suggestions about sleep, nursing, bottles, tummy time and more. She helped us with household tasks so that I could get some much needed rest. She was so great to work with and we plan to stay in touch. We highly recommend her services.

I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives. My path began after chiropractic school, inspired by my mom who has also been a doula for many years. Birth work feels like a natural extension of who I am.. I’ve always been a nurturer at heart, drawn to helping others feel safe, heard, advocated and cared for. I truly believe that every birth is unique and sacred, and I feel honored each time I’m invited to be part of a family’s story. In addition to doula care, I offer childbirth education, placenta services, and belly binding, with an approach that blends holistic support and practical guidance. Whether it’s helping you find confidence in early parenting, offering gentle structure for newborn sleep, or simply bringing calm and reassurance into your space, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I’m here to support and guide you without judgment, and to help make your journey into parenthood a peaceful, empowered, and memorable experience. I happily welcome every family with an open heart and provide care rooted in compassion, respect, and genuine connection.
