Hey! I am Violet. I was born and raised in Humboldt County CA. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 22, over 10 years ago! I originally worked in the lighting entertainment industry but made a transition to become a doula. Lights are cool and pretty and exciting! But being a doula is fulfilling. Helping families grow and adjust to this new normal is something I am passionate about. I provide non-judgmental and honest care and information during one of your families most vulnerable times. I will not judge your parenting or birth style or choices. I will never lie to you. I am here to help. My mission is to empower new parents as they transition into parenthood. When I am done providing my services my goal is to walk away with you feeling confident, relaxed, happy with your birth, and ready to take on this new life called parenthood! Everyone deserves a doula who understands who they are, listens to what they need, and comes with an open heart and an open mind. I hope to be that doula for you! I am trying to get certified and I need your help! Not being certified does not mean I am not trained. It just means I can not accept insurance. Families who agree to helping me get certified will get the service for 50% off in exchange! Offer available to three birth families! For more information, Just ask! Currently Serving: Los Angeles County & Humboldt County!

I am a first time single mom and was worried about taking care of my daughter Emma, alone and recovering from birth at the same time. Violet helped me with both night and day shifts. Violets day shifts depended on my needs for the day. Some days she was just happy to make me lunch and do laundry for me and Emma. Some days I needed some time alone and she was there to do tummy time with Emma, put her down for naps, and sing to her. When she was on nights she was there to burp, change, and settle the baby down again after I breast fed her so I was able to sleep a little more. She always had cleaned any bottles she would use by the morning and would make us both coffee before I got up. She even gave me a slight discount knowing I didn't have a two income household witch helped me a lot in the long run.

Hello, I’m Angela, the Dreaming Bee Doula! I live in Studio City and I support clients all around the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area! I am a perinatal and birth doula, passionate about walking alongside families as they journey through all of the transformations of pregnancy and birth. I truly believe in the power of community, nourishment, and intentional support, and I thrive on creating a safe and empowering space where you and your partner feel heard and cared for. My goal is to always help you feel confident, grounded, and celebrated in every step of your story! I also know that strong connection begins with clear communication. I love getting to know my clients through friendly phone calls, heartfelt in-person meetings, video and FaceTime calls as well as regular text check-ins…Really, any method that is most supportive to you. Open, honest conversations are at the center of our work together, ensuring you always feel comfortable and informed. My practice is rooted in both personal passion and professional training. I completed my birth doula training with Bini Birth in Sherman Oaks, California in 2022. I continue to expand my knowledge through additional certificates in areas such as basic lactation support, childbirth education, and CPR/First Aid. These trainings, along with specialized workshops like comfort care support, holistic wellness, and childbirth physiology all keep me current and I'm always learning more! I work hard to blend evidence-based guidance with compassionate, individualized support—always meeting families where they are with care that feels both informed and deeply human!

Angela was a phenomenal birth doula and we totally recommend her to any family! After my 4-day long labor where I hemorrhaged and tore with my first child, I was anxious and wary about how my second birth would go. I came to Angela with various requests and fears and she helped guide me through them all. Angela is incredibly professional and knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor, and birth. We LOVED all of the resources she shared with us. During labor, she was with us for it's entirety and she was such a cheerleader. She was hands on, an expert guide, and was beyond proactive when leading me through stretches/movements/exercises, shielding me from the medical noise, and advocating for my desires. In the end, I delivered my baby much faster than my first, I did not tear nor hemorrhage and I came home feeling bliss and redemption. You need Angela at your birth!!!

Hello everyone, my name is Momo Bass and I am a certified birth doula as well as a trained postpartum doula that serves the greater Los Angeles and Pasadena area. Aside from doing this rewarding work for a while, I am also a mama myself, to three amazing kiddos! When I'm not cheering on my kids at soccer practice, you'll likely find me tending to my ever-growing houseplant collection, or tending to myself at the gym. But my true passion lies in supporting families embarking on their incredible birthing journey. Motherhood is what threw me into the thralls of what it means to bring life into this world. It's this firsthand knowledge, coupled with my relentless curiosity about the miracle of birth and the transition into becoming a parent, that led me to become a birth and postpartum doula. Bringing my kiddos earth side became my superpower, and it’s become my mission to ignite that same fire in the families I work with. I believe that starts with finding judgment-free informational and emotional support, and I believe it starts when parents take back control of how their labor & postpartum experience goes by making informed decisions on what’s best for yourself and your growing family. “Everyone wants to hold the baby, but who will hold the mother/parents?” As a birth and postpartum doula, I will!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Monique as my co-doula, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional professional. Momo brings warmth, compassion, and unwavering dedication to every family she supports. Her calm demeanor and intuitive ability to anticipate the needs of both birthing parents and their partners make her a reliable and invaluable presence during such an important time. Working with Momo, I’ve seen firsthand how her knowledge, experience, and genuine care create a safe and empowering space for her clients. She has a natural gift for fostering connection and ensuring her clients feel heard, supported, and respected throughout their journey. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Momo by their side. She’s not just a doula but a true advocate and companion for the families she serves. Warmly, Maia S

This was my first experience working with a doula, and it exceeded my expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and she provided so much helpful information throughout the process. She supported me in reaching my birth goals, and my overall experience was significantly better than my first birth without a doula. I highly recommend her to anyone considering doula support.

My mother was a Lamaze instructor who taught childbirth classes in our home, surrounding me with the language, rhythm, and wonder of pregnancy and birth from an early age. As the eldest of four siblings and 16 grandchildren, I grew up surrounded by babies, witnessing the magic of new life, and developing a deep-rooted sense of awe and normalcy around the birthing process. The births of my own children lit a spark in me, and that spark grew into a calling. I became a doula and gained extensive experience supporting families birthing in homes, birth centers, and hospitals across Los Angeles. Over time, my passion for this sacred work deepened, and I felt the undeniable pull to expand my knowledge and commitment to birthing families by becoming a midwife. Through years of study, apprenticeship, and dedication, I graduated from National Midwifery Institute. I am a Licensed Midwife (LM) with the Medical Board of California and Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives. I carry certifications in neonatal resuscitation, CPR, and Basic Life Support (BLS) and have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families on their birthing journey's. Becoming a midwife has been one of the greatest honors of my life— and I carry every story, every family, and every birth with gratitude and reverence.

Jennifer is an outstanding Midwife. Her dedication to caring for birthing families is without a doubt her passion and it shows through everything she does, she is beyond gifted. Her attention to detail, autonomy, expertise, and ability to communicate clearly make her unique in this field. She is highly skilled and quick on her toes when needed to be. She will ensure you are fully educated and prepared to give birth on every level - body, soul, and mind. Working with Jennifer as a Doula, I have seen her in many births, and her energy is calm, and serene but also a confident source of wisdom. I would highly recommend Jennifer for you birthing needs.

ANGELINA, we have already made it clear to you. You have already went to yelp. We have reviewed your reviews., you go around making bad reviews because at a snap of a finger, one time visit we could not make due to an emergency induction for another mom. Out of 300 births, you are the only person who has ever tried to hurt my business the way you have. I personally feel that you have to heal in your postpartum that’s a priority to me versus my feelings at this point I have parted ways with you for more than one reason this is a public platform and I will not disclose any of your personal information. I did an absolutely fantastic job as doula , I did not ask you to write a review on this website, you made flaws claims and accusations about contracts. I have never made anyone sign. You made false claims about me not being communicative with you about a postpartum visit. You made false claims in regards to my professional professionalism. I helped watch your sweet baby boy while you were able to have a successful delivery. I have treated your family with absolute respect. But one thing I will not tolerate about my business as false accusation.. I will not move forward with any type of care in the future, and we have parted ways.

Hello, my name is Anna, and I am a birth & labor doula based in Los Angeles. Three years ago, a friend invited me to her home birth & I was skeptical, since I knew nothing about birth. Yet, it was such a transformational experience, as I had the privilege of supporting her through labor and saw the miracle of a baby entering the world. It changed my life! I love what I get to do, supporting families in vulnerable times, advocating for them, and creating an environment of safety and love. While I got my start at a home birth, I am happy to assist you in a hospital setting, birth center, or at home, since I believe you birth best wherever you feel most comfortable! I also do Bengkung bellybinding & placenta encapsulation to support the postpartum period.

Hi, I’m Maia! I’m a Los Angeles based certified and dedicated birth and postpartum doula, committed to empowering families through pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. I began my journey with a strong desire to help women from all walks of life. This passion gradually evolved into a keen interest in pregnancy and childbirth, sparking my aspiration to become a midwife. While currently pursuing my degree, I realized I couldn't wait any longer to start supporting women during their pregnancies. Alongside my passion, I bring qualities like willingness, compassion, empathy, dedication, patience, understanding, and adaptability that I believe are crucial for helping women. So, I took action and became a certified birth doula. Now, here we are—you're looking for a doula, and I'm hoping we can work together and share the incredible journey to parenthood. I believe pregnancy and childbirth are the most precious gifts and miracles entrusted to women. It's an intimate and emotional ceremony that will forever be the most unforgettable and transformative experiences in your life. I also believe that childbirth is a natural process, perfectly suited to our bodies. While our bodies know how to give birth, they also rely on our mindfulness and awareness. That's where I come in. Together, we'll listen to your body, your desires, and your feelings, allowing them to guide us through the ups and downs of pregnancy and childbirth. What feels right for you is the right path for your journey. Together, we'll overcome any obstacles that arise and make informative decisions that align with your vision for your birth. I’m here to guide, advocate, and support you every step of the way as you embark on this beautiful journey of welcoming your new little one into the world. With Love, Maia

Hello- my name is Nicole and I am a birth and postpartum doula. I truly enjoy helping moms and families have the birth story they want. I want to support and provide families with advocacy when applicable. Also, give the emotional, spiritual, and physical support you need on your birth journey and postpartum. I have worked as HR manager for the last 25 years. I have transitioned into being a birth/postpartum doula. I have extensive knowledge of California Law and California leave practices. In my free time, I enjoy working out, spending time with my daughter and furbaby. If you are looking for someone knowledgeable, clinically based, and hands on then you have found the right doula. Let me help you support your birth journey.

Recent review

Nicole is the best doula I could’ve ever asked for. She is kind, giving, supportive, loving, generous, and has been wonderful since we met. I heard from her very often in my pregnancy as she was always present. She is knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, labor, postpartum, etc. I always felt like I can count on her and reach out to her — she is always available to assist in any way she can. I received texts from her about pregnancy exercises/workouts, pregnancy and postpartum meals, ways to give a natural birth, labor tips, and other super helpful information. Additionally, Nicole’s past experience in HR was beneficial as she helped me create a plan to be with my baby as long as possible. Notably, she helped me create a detailed birth plan and once at the hospital made sure I was advocated for and that the staff stuck to my preferences. She coached me through giving birth to my son successfully. My baby came out healthy and beautiful. I am so grateful our paths have crossed and that she was my doula. Nicole is without hesitation a pleasure to be around and is the best support system for moms looking for guidance, love, and assistance. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Every birth and every family is so unique and deserves the space and respect to navigate that journey. Educating yourself, finding the best people to be apart of your birthing team, and uncovering your births hopes and dreams are so important in helping you achieve your ideal birth. This is your birth and I am here to help you navigate it. I strive to create a positive, non-judgmental, and inclusive experience for every birthing environment I am welcomed into.

Recent review

I cannot say enough positive and kind words about Sharlene! Her support and guidance were exactly what I needed during so many ups and downs of my pregnancy. This was my second birth, my redemption birth. From our first meeting, I knew she understood my husband and my trauma from our first birth, our goals for this birth, and what we desired and needed. This started with her encouraging and validating my decision to change OBs at 28 weeks. She wrapped her supportive arms around us as we were monitored extensively at the end by a specialist. She answered every message with such grace, always saying just what I needed. She advocated for us before we even got to the hospital and I looked to her throughout. Sharlene, my husband, and new OB made up my dream team and curated my redemption birth. I am overwhelmingly grateful to have had her in my corner, then and always.
