I am a birth and postpartum doula who serves the greater Los Angeles area. I have been a doula sine 2011 and am also a lactation educator and mother of three.

I’m a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey began supporting friends through birth and postpartum while navigating the unpredictable life of a military family. A path that taught me flexibility, compassion, and a deep respect for the strength of parents. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a corrections officer, where I honed the skills to stay calm under pressure and advocate fiercely for others. Today, I bring that same steady confidence to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Once a city girl, now deeply connected to nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness to every family I serve. As a mom to two spirited boys and two lovable fur babies, I know firsthand how messy, magical, and transformative those early days can be. Whether you’re preparing for birth or adjusting to life with a newborn, I’m here to walk beside you with knowledge, warmth, and zero judgment.

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.

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.

My greatest inspiration comes from the ebbs and flows of the female reproductive cycle - a constant reminder that everything changes.

Dear Prospective Parents, I would like to first offer my congratulations to you on the birth of your new child. As a mother of 4 myself I know first hand all of the emotions that you are feeling right now. I vividly remember the sweet baby breath and the soft sounds they make as they fall asleep. I remember the pride you are feeling as you are looking down at something that was created out of the love you and your partner share. I also remember how daunting a newborn can be. I remember that all of the books, classes and advice in the world can’t accurately prepare you for the real life thing. I remember the good emotions, the bad ones, the sad ones. I remember the sleepless nights and the confusion over deciphering whether or not that is a cry for hunger or gas. My job as a night nanny practically speaking is to offer you a peaceful night's rest. But I am also here to be your advocate, support person, cheerleader, coach and anything else that will make your experience as new parents a great one. Having the support of a newborn care specialist and postpartum support care means having someone there for you that will believe in you, even when you are not sure if you believe in yourself. My goal is to empower you as the new parents.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Birth Story Listener. I felt called to work with birth as a young adult, and love helping folks prepare for and navigate their birth journeys, as well as their relationship to their birth stories. My goal is to help birthing people find an empowered way through whatever comes up for them, and for them to feel supported and seen throughout the process. I also enjoy homeschooling my kids, teaching theater classes, singing in my community choir, and working for a local organic farm at the farmers market in Claremont!

With years of experience as a dedicated midwife, my journey into newborn care has been a natural and deeply fulfilling progression. Supporting families through birth has given me a profound understanding of the gentle care, patience, and presence that newborns need. My background has equipped me not only with clinical expertise, but also with the emotional insight that comes from truly connecting with both babies and their families. What inspires me most is the opportunity to work with children. There’s a unique joy and innocence in every little one, and being a part of their earliest days is a privilege I hold close to my heart. I love watching their personalities begin to unfold and knowing that the nurturing and support I provide can make a lasting impact on their growth and development. Helping families feel confident and cared for during this tender time is what continues to drive my passion every day.

After my son's birth, I was reeling from how well my birth journey went. I heard so many horror stories from friends and family about how their birthing days went. I was appalled for them. Most were pushed around by hospital staff, forced into unnecessary c-sections or just completely unaware of what options they had! I became determined to be an advocate for women who want to feel validated and that they can birth the way they choose. I wanted to be able to provide a beautiful experience, to anyone who desired it. Having my son empowered me to help other women have the birth of their dreams. I strive for a smooth, calm process, free from stress, judgement and fear. Whether it be at home, a birth center or hospital, all natural, medicated or planned c-sections, I believe that women should be able to do things their own way. Because each and every woman, birth and baby is different, I take pride in supporting you, however you choose to proceed. Hospitals can get confusing, nurses/OB's can get impatient, let me be your advocate through this journey. Let me help you, do you. Let's birth the way that you want.

A calling that has been nurtured for 32 years. I began my career with children as a teenage babysitter. I have been fascinated by child development since I was little more than a child myself. Arriving in the USA in 1991 from Barranquilla, Colombia I was immediately employed by Universal Studios Child Care Center. This experience offered a wide range of infants to care for and deepened my desire to advance in my calling as a childcare specialist. It was in my interactions with various parents that I soon realized how what came naturally to me was frightening to some. In a very short time, parents were asking me to provide services outside of the care center. I was helping with establishing baby sleep schedules, nighttime care and creating baby routines for families. In 1998 I had met my birthing doula trainer and mentor Carmen of Gyntle Touch Birth. At Carmen’s recommendation I also became a certified massage therapist from Touch Therapy Institute. Immediately I offered my time as a birthing and prenatal doula to help low-income unwed mothers. This was my way of giving back in gratitude of my being able to pursue my life’s purpose and obtain a vast amount of experience with a diverse group of mothers. Over the last 32 years I have worked with hundreds of families, from birthing babies, preparing hospital care routines and directives, setting up nursery supplies, prenatal doula, lactation coach, night care, postpartum care, pregnancy and baby massage. Along the way I married and was blessed to deliver my own two children, with my mentor Carmen presiding as my birthing doula. A not so well-kept secret is that my husband and I are gourmet chefs, an additional service many families are excited to have made available to them. I consider myself truly blessed in that I am able to share in the most important part of a family. Incredibly, many of the children I have had a hand in raising continue to contact me throughout their life. I have had the wonderfully good fortune to attend many, confirmations, bar & bat mitzvahs, graduations from elementary, Jr. High, High School, College and recently my first Graduate school ceremony. I respect privacy and discretion, am able to travel, provide meal preparation and offer household management services.
