As your doula, my role is to support you and your family in the way that best helps you feel calm, confident, and present throughout labor. That might look like hands-on support to help you labor more comfortably at home, guiding your partner in how to do the same, offering gentle coaching as you breathe through contractions, or even quietly capturing photos and keeping loved ones updated. Every birth is unique, and I’m flexible to your goals and desires—even if they shift as labor unfolds. While some people picture doulas as very “woo-woo” or mystical, my style is more grounded and pragmatic. I believe in giving you practical tools, evidence-based guidance, and steady encouragement so you can navigate the challenges of labor with clarity and confidence. I love preparing families by educating them about what to expect and how to respond intentionally, rather than react impulsively in the moment. My professional background is in leadership, mentorship, and professional development, and I bring that same skillset into my doula work—helping you tap into your own strength, stay relaxed, and move through labor as smoothly as your body allows. My ultimate goal is to help you experience the fastest, easiest birth your body is capable of, while holding space for you to feel calm, supported, and fully present in the process.

I would highly recommend hiring Alix if you are giving birth anytime soon or saving her information if you plan to give birth anytime in the future. My husband and I were not originally planning on having a doula. We gave birth at a birthing center and thought that a doula's main benefit would be advocating for us in a hospital setting (although we did not experience this I am positive Alix would also be very helpful in this setting as well). Alix was a godsend!! Get ready for the long list of things that were so helpful to my husband and I in labor: she helped give my husband a break from different comfort measures, helped calm and focus me when I started to believe I couldn't do it, was so knowledgeable in different positions and comfort measures to try, she brought different tools with her to help in labor (I would not have gotten through labor without the help of the labor comb that she brought), she communicated directly with our midwife and got us going to the birthing center when we needed to (without her we probably would have given birth at home which was not a part of our plan), and on the way to the birthing center she bought liquid IV's to make sure I was staying hydrated. This is just the list of things she did while at our home and on the way to the birthing center (and it is not an exhaustive list!!). I haven't even mentioned how she helped at the birthing center as well as her communication and encouragement during pregnancy and her care after giving birth. This review is already long enough so I will not add those things but will say that Alix is amazing and you will not regret hiring her (especially if you are a first time mom like me!!).

Hello families! My name is Mariah, and I am a dedicated postpartum doula specializing in supporting families through the beautiful — and sometimes overwhelming — transition into life with a new baby. I am also currently working towards becoming a nurse with the end goal of being a Certified Nurse Midwife and Women's Health Nurse Practitioner. My goal is to provide physical, emotional, and informational support that parents and their little ones need during this precious time, helping mothers recover, rest, and bond deeply with their new bundle of joy. My approach is nurturing, nonjudgmental, and rooted in the belief that with the right support, parents can thrive during the postpartum period. Whether it’s helping overnight so you can get restorative sleep, supporting daytime routines, or simply being a calm presence to talk to, I am passionate about making this transition a little easier and a lot more joyful. I look forward to being a part of your journey and supporting you during one of the most special times of your life!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the amazing Mariah ! She provided a type of care I truly wasn’t prepared to receive for my entry into motherhood. Not even thinking a doula would be a necessary as a new mom I’m so glad I decided to give it a shot. As our postpartum doula, she was simply incredible offering both overnight and daytime support with a level of care, compassion, and professionalism that far exceeded mine and my husband’s expectations. Mariah was attentive to every need, making sure I felt supported not just physically, but emotionally throughout the months I was lucky to have her support. She created such a peaceful environment for both me and my baby, and I always felt at ease knowing she was there. Literally after the first time of overnight I gave her my baby and didn’t have any hesitation which as a mom is not something I have experienced for anyone other than my husband and mom. What truly sets Mariah apart is how consistently she went above and beyond to make sure I knew every detail when she had my baby. No matter how last-minute a request was, she found a way to help without hesitation. Her flexibility, kindness, and genuine dedication made such a difference for our family, and we are forever grateful for her. I would highly recommend Mariah to anyone looking for a postpartum doula who truly cares and brings heart, skill, and thoughtfulness to everything she does. She was truly a blessing to our family.

I cannot recommend Anat enough! She deserves 10 stars. I truly believe this is the best money I have ever spent . As a first time mom I knew I wanted a doula to help me with my delivery experience. I interviewed 8 doulas and Anat stood out from the crowd. She is so warm and knowledgeable. She has so much experience. I felt safe with her and I also felt immediately drawn to her warmth. Hiring her to be our doula was the best decision we ever made . She was there for me for every step of my pregnancy. When I went into labor she came to my house and made me a bath. She helped me labor in the bath and af home for 4 hours while easing my pain through physical and mental touch. At the hospital she literally turned the room into a spa . She had (fake) candles , calming music and massage tools . She help me manage through the pain by touching and massaging me . She also helped my husband by being more hands on during labor so he could rest and have energy when the baby arrived . I had an amazing experience birthing my daughter - and I owe that all to Anat. I recommend her to all my friends .

I’m a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey began by 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 learned to stay calm under pressure and advocate fiercely for others. Today, I bring that same steady confidence to the families I serve through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Once a city girl and now deeply connected to nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness in my work as a birth and postpartum doula, infant sleep consultant, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I also provide traditional belly binding support to promote healing, grounding, and body awareness during the postpartum transition. 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. My goal is to walk beside you with knowledge, warmth, and zero judgment. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, supporting your body’s healing journey, or finding rhythm and rest with your newborn. I’m honored to support families through every layer of this season- body, mind, and heart.

Hello there! My name is Sharon Jensen-Cody, and I'm thrilled to connect with you here. In my world, I share my life with my wonderful husband and our 2 kids who fill our days with joy and surprises. My journey into the world of birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for pregnancy and childbirth that took hold of me at a young age. The pivotal moment came when I witnessed my sister giving birth when I was just 17. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me. My mission as a DONA trained Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health and providing unwavering support to women as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys. I am here to walk alongside you, offering mental, emotional, and physical guidance to make your birth journey a truly empowering and memorable one. I am also a certified pediatric sleep consultant, passionate about teaching families how to gain restorative sleep with their little ones. I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your birth story and helping you navigate this extraordinary time in your life.

Working with Sharon was one of the most reassuring parts of our entire birth experience. From the very beginning, her communication style put us at ease. She paid close attention to the details of our birth plan and made sure our preferences were understood and respected throughout the process. One thing we especially appreciated was her flexibility around when to join us at the hospital. She checked in often, helped us navigate the early stages from afar, and arrived right when we entered active labor. From that moment on, her presence made a noticeable difference. She helped lower our stress, and we trusted her implicitly in how she advocated for us with the nursing staff. Her strong rapport with the team at Woodland Hills Kaiser Permanente made everything feel that much smoother. Sharon’s depth of experience came through in every interaction. She was calm when we needed calm, confident when we needed guidance, and always focused on making sure we felt supported. We’re incredibly grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.
