Birth & Postpartum Doula I have been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum since long before I had the language for it formally serving as a doula since 2021, but showing up for birthing people in my community for years before that. Birth work found me through my own pregnancies (c-section) unmedicated V back and unmedicated water birth vbac mama my background in education. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, I’ve always been drawn to caring for the whole child and family. Each of my births deepened my commitment to this work, and I’m passionate about supporting women who look like me in spaces where we are often the only ones. I’m a super big supporter of Vbacs They are my favorite. I currently work with Kindred Space LA, Frontline Doulas, and the Irth App, supporting families through birth, postpartum, belly binding, and babywearing. An avid breastfeeder myself nursing each of my children for 3 years I bring lived experience and practical support to feeding journeys. My practice centers education, cultural affirmation, and hands on care.

Aysha SHOWED UP for me! I’m honestly not sure how my birth would have gone without her support! We laughed. We walked. We squatted. We twerked. I cried. She held me. Reminded me that i was capable. Postpartum was rough this go round and she was there, prepping meals, cleaning, teaching my toddler essential life skills, making sure she saw me drinking my water and taking my vitamins. She feels like a best friend I’ve known for many years. I’m so grateful and i can’t say it enough💗

Hello, I am a certified Postpartum Doula living in West LA with my husband and two children. Since becoming a mother myself, I’ve realized I have a nurturing spirit inside me. As your postpartum doula, I will be there supporting and educating you through the first 4 to 6 weeks after welcoming your new baby, and provide you a safe, empowering space for you to bond with your baby and heal both mentally and physically after birth.

Recent review

As first-time parents without a local support system, hiring Kate as our postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. From the very first day, her warm, kind, and calming presence instantly put our minds at ease during what can be an overwhelming transition. Kate is incredibly knowledgeable and informative, and she taught us so much about caring for our baby—always in a way that felt supportive and never judgmental. Over the first couple of months of our son’s life, Kate truly felt like a member of our family. She guided us through early parenthood with compassion and confidence, helping us navigate everything from soothing our baby and changing diapers to cooking delicious meals and simply being a steady shoulder to lean on. Thanks to her, we now feel equipped and confident as parents, and we know we can always rely on Kate as a trusted helping hand. We 100% recommend Kate to any parents, especially first-timers. Thank you, Kate!

Hi there! If you’re looking for overnight newborn care, I’d be delighted to help. My name is Maria, and I am a Certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS, also known as a night nanny or night nurse), Postpartum Doula, Sleep Consultant, and a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor. I specialize in overnight newborn care and currently have availability for nighttime positions. I bring extensive experience, a genuine passion for caring for newborns, and a nurturing, patient, and understanding approach that parents trust. References, contact numbers, and my resume are available upon request. I am CPR & First Aid Pediatric certified, TrustLine certified, fully immunized (including COVID-19), and able to travel anywhere within Los Angeles County. My mission is to provide newborns and families with safe, compassionate, and individualized care, ensuring both baby and parents rest easy. I would love the opportunity to support your family and make those first weeks with your newborn as smooth and restful as possible.

Recent review

If you’re reading this, hire her. Maria is the best decision we made when we found out our first pregnancy was twins. Speaking to her took away my fears of two babies at once and as soon as they were home she took wonderful care of them. She got us on a schedule, was wonderful with my NICU baby, helped get them sleeping long stretches, and supported a medical issue that impacted ability to feed. Our newborn experience was so much better with her here. She’s also really easy to have in your home and I enjoyed her immensely. One tip for twin moms- account for adjusted age when determining contract length because it really does take 12 weeks adjusted to sleep full nights!

Our experience with Melanie was nothing short of exceptional. Melanie was our NCS from the day our son was born until 6 months of age. She truly operated as the Lead NCS for our household, setting the standard for everyone else and ensuring that everything ran seamlessly. Her level of organization was outstanding. Melanie was always proactive about keeping me informed on anything that needed restocking and made sure our home was consistently well prepared and fully supplied. Melanie’s commitment to hygiene and safety was a huge stand out for us. She maintained the highest standards of cleanliness in caring for our newborn and was incredibly diligent about safe sleep practices at all times, which gave us real peace of mind. Every night, she provided thoughtful, consistent updates so we always knew exactly how our son was doing. Melanie also took the initiative to organize and coordinate the nightly schedule between myself and the other staff, ensuring everyone was aligned and that care was consistent. All of our son’s feeding, sleeping, and changing items were always perfectly organized and ready, making everything feel effortless. Beyond technical skills, Melanie brought a level of professionalism and leadership that elevated our entire household. She truly ran a well-managed, attentive, and calm environment for our son, and we are incredibly grateful for the care and structure she provided during such an important time. We hope to have her back for baby #2!

My mission? To empower you and your family as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. To make sure your birth and postpartum plans are clearly communicated. My method? Providing wrap-around, holistic, and evidence-based support and education. My why? We deserve BETTER! Birthing people, ESPECIALLY, Black, Indigenous, POC, and LBGTQ+, deserve better birthing outcomes! As a health equity and justice advocate, I believe in safe, sacred, collaborative, and informed birthing experiences for ALL birthing people, whether it be inside or outside of the hospital.

Recent review

Working with Curtrelle made my birthing experience so much better than I could’ve imagined. As a first time mom, I was overwhelmed with the amount of information I was receiving from doctors, relatives and my social media. Curtrelle was instrumental in keeping both my partner and I calm, informed, and hopeful throughout the entire birthing process. Her techniques, presence and overall explanation of the process beforehand during and after were incredibly helpful for two new parents who felt lost in a sea of information. We truly feel she was the reason we had such a great birthing experience and we loved her demeanor not just with us, but with the people we decided to include in the process as well. I highly recommend anyone looking for a doula that is informed, calming, reassuring, and overall great person to work with Curtrelle.

Hello Everyone! My name is Donna Moragne-Hanson. I'm a licensed midwife in Los Angeles, CA providing well-woman, pre-conception and prenatal/postpartum midwifery care. I also provide doula care, childbirth education and lactation support from the privacy of my in-home birthing studio. Here you & your family are provided with everything you need for a safe, comfortable and peaceful birth. Receive 24 Golden Hours of maternal & newborn postpartum care as you enjoy 3 homemade meals prepared to restore, center and balance your body before journeying home with your new babe. I offer specialty services such as yoni steams, healing herbal baths, Ala-carte Postpartum packages and the "Closing of the Bones" ceremony, bringing spiritual closure to your birth. For me, establishing trust with my client is the most important and fundamental. My practice is built on nurturing trust and learning to let go of the things we allow to interfere with trust. I want to encourage trusting in yourself; trusting in your body (and the natural process of giving birth); trusting in your baby (and their own divinely written birth story); trusting in humanity (and the world your baby is born into) and trusting in our partnership, as client and midwife. I believe, "when a woman is heard, she is seen; when she is seen, she has a voice"; and as her midwife I am compelled to encourage her to honor that voice; her voice. In this way I believe I am blessed with an opportunity to fulfill my role as supporter, facilitator, educator and client advocate; the ultimate calling of a midwife. For me, describing the process of birth is like trying to describe a miracle; and walking with a woman as she becomes a mother is even more profound…I am beyond words. Donna, LM, CPM

Donna gave me the confidence and calm I needed for my first birth. She was there every step of the way to answer all my questions, no matter how silly! My doctor was very impressed with how prepared and informed I was. I would love to work with Donna again.

My Journey in Newborn care started way before I had my son, began back in 2018. I was introduced to an amazing family who needed the extra help overnight and I took up the opportunity as I knew I was more than cable of helping out the family in this new season. The family really opened up my eyes to an amazing opportunity of being able to help families with new babies. I was fascinated and took a leap of faith to start my own business as a New Born Care Specialist. I got certified and never looked back. Had my baby boy three years later and dove back into my business, as an ever better NCS because I now had a better and deeper understanding what it was like to come from the hospital with a new baby. I fell in love deeper with my job and got certified as a Postpartum Doula, furthering my education in the postpartum world. I'm now a newborn care specialist, postpartum doula, and a breastfeeding specialist. I'm Constantly continuing my education in newborn and postpartum care. I've worked with singles, multiples, and babies with special needs. I offer personalized care for every single one of my families depending on their wants and unique needs. I'm here to help support you emotionally, physically, offer lactation support, education, resources and empowerment. I truly love my job and being part of my clients postpartum journey, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Alejandra was an absolute godsend during my postpartum journey. Her calm, nurturing presence made those overwhelming early weeks feel manageable and even beautiful. She supported my daughter, helped with the baby duties, and reminded me to care for myself — all with kindness and expertise. I truly don’t know how I would’ve done it without her. My daughter’s sleep schedule now is amazing and I know it was from her doula support. Highly, highly recommend!

We hired Monica as a postpartum mommy helper starting when our baby was 2 weeks old, and she was wonderful to have during those early, overwhelming weeks. Our baby had some digestive issues and was quite fussy, and Monica was very patient and attentive with him, she had so many practical tips and suggestions for soothing him that genuinely made a difference for our whole household. She has clearly worked with a lot of babies and it showed in how calm and confident she was, even during the hard stretches. She was also wonderful with our 3-year-old, who needed extra attention during this transition, and it meant so much to see him looked after with the same warmth and care. We felt so supported having her with us during this time and would recommend her to any family, especially those navigating a fussy or colicky baby. Thank you, Monica!

— Stephanie W., review of Monica Celis July 2026

I cannot recommend Monica enough! As a second-time mom, I thought I knew what to expect, but this was my first time planning an unmedicated birth. My first baby was induced, so I was incredibly anxious and nervous about labor starting on its own and not having pain medication. From the moment Monica came to the hospital with us at Pomona Valley in April, I immediately felt calmer. She was such a reassuring and calming presence throughout my entire labor. She constantly reminded me that I was capable, encouraged me through every contraction, and made sure I felt heard and supported every step of the way. When the nurses and medical staff explained things using medical terms I didn't fully understand, Monica took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense and helped me feel confident making decisions. She truly advocated for me while always respecting my birth preferences. She also knew exactly what to do to help me cope with labor naturally—whether it was suggesting different positions, applying counter pressure, helping me breathe through contractions, or simply reminding me that I wasn't alone. I honestly don't think I could have had the positive birth experience I did without her. If you're even considering hiring a doula, do it—and hire Monica. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about the families she supports. She helped turn one of the most intimidating experiences of my life into one of my most empowering. I will forever be grateful for everything she did for me and my family.

— Renee R., review of Monica Celis July 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Becky with Birth to Latch has been absolutely amazing. Our experience with her has brought us so much peace, confidence, and excitement as we prepare to welcome our first baby. Going into this pregnancy, we had no real guidance on what to expect during labor and birth. As a first-time father, I honestly wasn’t sure what my role would be or how I could best support my wife. After attending Becky’s Comfort Measures class, everything changed. I walked away with a clear understanding of my role as a husband and father during labor, along with practical tools and the confidence to be the support my wife deserves. What makes Becky so special is her warmth and kindness. She creates such a safe, welcoming environment that it genuinely feels like you’re learning from a trusted family member rather than someone you just met. She has a gift for making everyone feel comfortable, heard, and empowered. I especially appreciate that Becky doesn’t just focus on preparing moms she places just as much importance on educating and empowering the birth partner. That made a huge difference for us and strengthened our confidence as a team going into this life-changing experience. If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly invested in helping both parents feel prepared, I cannot recommend Becky and Birth to Latch enough. We are incredibly grateful to have her as part of our birth journey.
