Hey Mama! I'm Christianna, a doula, a placenta encapsulation specialist, and a childbirth enthusiast who serves mothers during their pregnancies and births. I have seen and passionately believe that a woman's body is built for birth. Not only are women's bodies designed for childbirth, but mothers get to participate in the miraculous way a living soul enters this world. Being alive is truly a miracle, and I love being able to be present for such a sacred moment when a human being is born. It is my pleasure to educate and protect women as they prepare for this life-altering event. Childbirth can be both an intense and a glorious experience. Together, we will work to address your fears, educate you on your options, and prepare you for a day you will never forget!

Her placenta encapsulation is amazing! She added lavender and rose. It was so helpful to me in my postpartum.

Hello! My name is Bianca and I am a full spectrum (birth, postpartum and loss doula) serving the Los Ángeles county area. I focus on traditional and spiritual practices because I believe that birth is a sacred initiation to go deeper, and that all the wisdom that we are looking for on how to navigate is already available within. I provide nutrition, lactation, herbal, and labor prep support to all clients. My goal is to make you feel as empowered about YOUR ideal birth. Outside of birthwork, I absolutely love crafts, hiking, traveling, writing, making medicine, and being with my family and friends. Looking forward to working with you!

My path to becoming a doula was forged during a deeply personal experience, as I navigated the challenges of healing my own womb from an ovarian cyst. Faced with the possibility of losing an ovary and the potential inability to have more children, I turned to holistic remedies and the power of herbs. Through this transformative journey, I not only healed myself but also discovered a profound calling to share the knowledge I gained with other women of color who often face similar struggles with womb health. Driven by this newfound purpose, I embarked on a mission to become a holistic fertility doula. As I delved into the realm of fertility, I uncovered not only the prevalence of womb health issues among women of color but also the systemic disparities and injustices they face in their pregnancy and delivery experiences. This revelation ignited a fire within me to advocate for fair treatment and support for all mothers-to-be.

I believe that every person deserves to feel supported in their labor and birth! I want parents to receive evidence based information so they can advocate for themselves and empower their birth through knowledge and experience before even setting foot in the birth space!

Hi, my name is Sabrina Osorio, and I’m a passionate Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with many years of experience. I love what I do—supporting families during such a special and delicate time fills my heart with purpose. Every family teaches me something new, and that inspires me to keep learning and growing so I can guide with even more care and professionalism. My goal is always to create a calm, nurturing space where parents feel confident and supported, and babies can thrive. It’s a joy and an honor to do this work, and I’m grateful for every family who allows me to be part of their journey.

Sabrina has been our night nurse for close to 2 months and I don't know what we would have done with out her. She's always on time. Checks in throughout the week to see how things are going. Provides guidance on every newborn challenge we have faced- gas/reflux, mastitis, when our baby started rejecting the bottle, and so much more. She's helped us lay the foundation for good sleeping habits so that we're setup for success in the future, and she is great with our baby. Sabrina is kind, caring and incredibly knowledgable. I cannot recommend her enough.

My name is JD (they/them). I am a nonbinary full-spectrum doula certified through Doula Trainings International. I support individuals and families in the greater Los Angeles Area and beyond. I am passionate about providing support during the vulnerable moments of perinatal events and outcomes. I provide evidence-based care and specialize in informed consent. I look forward to speaking with you!

Recent review

JD was everything we could want in a doula and more than we knew to ask for. They weren't just incredibly supportive and helpful during the labor and delivery, but they were curious about us and our relationship and family and how that might influence what we would need or want when the time came. the time came unexpectedly and suddenly and JD was still there through the whole thing. My partner is nonbinary and JD was there with they/them reminders when we were exhausted, in addition to advocating for us with hospital staff, anticipating needs and bringing extra love and comfort to our efforts.

Hello all, my name is Destiny Sutton and I am a newly trained postpartum doula with a strong background in nannying, and I’m deeply passionate about supporting families during the tender early weeks after birth. I believe in creating a calm, peaceful environment where both babies and parents can rest, bond, and feel confident in their new rhythm together. My approach is gentle, supportive, and responsive to each family’s unique needs, especially during overnight care. In my free time, I enjoy slowing down and recharging through activities like spending time outdoors, reading, and caring for my own well-being—values I bring into my work with families by encouraging rest, balance, and compassion during the postpartum period.

We hired Nikki as our postpartum doula for our first child, four weeks of nights and six weeks of days. Simply put, she was indispensable for new parents with no family in the area. She was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, so careful with our little one, and gave us both rest and peace of mind. If you are thinking about hiring a kind, thoughtful postpartum doula, Nikki is great

Growing up, I had a very special relationship with my own babysitter who I looked up to. She became my first influence unknowingly to being in childcare. I try to carry her loving, thoughtful influence into my work as a nanny and newborn care specialist. I love working with children because they are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to be present in the moment. I have been working with children for seventeen years from the newborns to school age, but specialize in newborn/infant and toddler care.
