Hiring an overnight doula from Peaceful Passages was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Not only did my doula lovingly care for me and my newborn, she went above and beyond—prepping nourishing meals, providing breastfeeding support, organizing the baby’s nursery, and even helping with my twin toddlers so I could rest. Her calm, professional presence made my healing after a c-section so much easier. I was especially impressed by how seamless everything was—she was professionally dressed, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. On top of that, Peaceful Passages accepted my Carrot insurance and handled all the billing with ease, which lifted such a burden off my shoulders. This service was truly a lifesaver for me and my family. I felt cared for, supported, and able to focus on bonding with my baby. I can’t recommend their overnight doula services enough!

Maria is wonderful, professional, thoughtful and an amazing human being. Anyone would be lucky to count her in their birth team. During our pregnancy, we were followed by OB/Gyn at the hospital as I had some complications. I was supposed to be induced and give birth in the hospital, which was giving me anxiety. Maria wasn’t our midwife back then. We had a last minute home birth on Christmas Eve ( our baby arrived very fast). We got very lucky that Maria responded and showed up fast. During birth, she was checking on the baby’s heart rate without being intrusive and worked wonderfully with our doula and my husband. This birth experience ended up being the most transformative experience of our life. From the moment our baby came out to the last day of postpartum care, she was there, caring, reassuring, professional. I felt safe and heard, which was not always the case at the hospital. I will always be grateful to Maria!

Mikki Bell

With more than a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth and postpartum, Mikki brings a deep respect for physiologic birth together with comprehensive professional midwifery training. Mikki has really been preparing for this gifting her whole life. She jokes, "The first birth client I ever had was a momma sheep out on our family friend's farm in Colorado when I was 9 years old. That was the first birth I ever participated in and since then, I've been so enthralled with birth in every form." Before becoming a licensed midwife, Mikki gave birth to each of her three babies at home with midwives and also spent over a decade working as a birth doula and childbirth educator. Those experiences shaped her belief that families deserve individualized care, informed choices, and a provider who truly gets to know them. Today, she provides comprehensive home birth midwifery care to families throughout the South Bay and surrounding Los Angeles communities. As shown in evidenced based literature, she recognizes that for low-risk birth clients, birthing at home with a trained midwife is as safe or safer than birthing in a hospital in the US (Dahlen, 2019).

My dream home birth with my wonderful midwife Mikki! When I think about my birth, I genuinely feel like I could cry tears of joy. I light up talking about it because, even though my labor was intense and painful, I truly had my dream home birth. It was one of the most beautiful, powerful, peaceful, and empowering experiences of my life, and I know that so much of that is because I chose Mikki as my midwife! From the beginning, Mikki made me feel completely safe and confident in my body and in the process of birth. During labor, she somehow found the perfect balance between being completely present and giving my husband and me the space to labor freely. There was never a feeling of being rushed, interrupted, or told what I had to do. She allowed me to listen to my body and move through labor in whatever way felt right, while gently offering ideas when she thought something might help, getting into the birth pool, sitting on the toilet, changing positions, or offering homeopathy tailored to what I was experiencing (which was so helpful!). I never even had to ask. Mikki was simply paying attention and anticipating what I might need. As a first-time mom, I appreciated Mikki's guidance so much. Toward the end, she helped me understand where to direct my pushing - it was gentle guidance that helped me connect with what my body was already doing. At one point, Mikki recognized that my baby's head was almost, but not quite, in the ideal position. She had me move into puppy pose for three contractions, which was incredibly intense, but it gave my baby the opportunity to reposition to be born in the most optimal position. Shortly afterward, my baby was born, healthy and peacefully, right on our bed in our loving home. Mikki was so intentional and gentle during crowning and used olive oil throughout that part of the birth. I ended up having zero tearing, which still amazes me. (Pro tip: If your midwife isn't applying olive oil during crowning... find yourself one who does!!) My recovery has been wonderful, and I am so incredibly grateful for the care she gave my body while helping my baby into the world. After my baby was born, there was no rush. My baby was immediately placed on me and I had a completely uninterrupted golden hour. My placenta was still inside, my baby was on my chest, and everyone simply allowed us to be together. After about an hour, when we were ready, we cut the umbilical cord. My husband held our baby skin-to-skin while I birthed the placenta. Everything felt calm, peaceful, respectful, and unhurried. Throughout my entire labor, I never felt uncertainty from Mikki. She was calm and confident while continuously making sure both my baby and I were doing well. She and my second midwife Carolina thought of everything, food, water, electrolytes, a fan, different positions, comfort measures, while still somehow making it feel like they weren't interfering with my birth at all. That is one of the things I admire most about Mikki. She has such a deep sense of purpose in the work she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable and confident, but also calm, warm, and grounded. She knows when to step in, when to offer something, and when to simply give the space to the body do what it knows how to do. I truly believe the team you choose shapes the way you experience and remember your birth. Especially as a first-time mom, I could not have asked for a more positive or empowering entrance into motherhood. I am healthy, my baby is healthy, my recovery has been beautiful, and when I look back on his birth, I remember strength, love, peace, and how incredibly powerful I felt. Mikki helped create the space for my baby to enter this world peacefully, surrounded by people we trusted. I will forever be grateful to her for giving our family that experience. If you are looking for a midwife who deeply trusts birth and your body, who gives you space and autonomy while also having seemingly endless knowledge and several tricks up her sleeve when you need them, I could not recommend Mikki more wholeheartedly. What Mikki does truly feels like angel work. I will forever be grateful that she was my midwife, and I will rave about my birth to anyone who will listen for the rest of my life. It was truly magical.

Em Ramirez

EM BLENDS HOLISTIC MODALITIES, ANCESTRAL NOURISHMENT, INTUITIVE CARE AND EVIDENCE-BASED SUPPORT. SHE BELIEVES THAT BIRTH AND THE TRANSITION INTO MOTHERHOD ARE BOTH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND SACRED, A RITE OF PASSAGE DESERVING REVERENCE AND FLOW, NOT INTERVENTION OR DISRUPTION. HER APPROACH REACHES DEEP WITHIN THE BONES OF THOSE SHE SUPPORTS, REMINDING MOTHERS OF THE INNATE WISDOM THAT ALREADY LIVES WITHIN THEM AND HELPING THEM RECONNECT TO THE ROOTS OF ALL WHO HAVE COME BEFORE THEM, WHILE TRUSTING THEIR OWN PRIMAL INSTINCTS. HER PATH INTO THIS WORK UNFOLDED NATURALLY, SOMETHING SHE OFTEN DESCRIBES AS FATED. BORN FROM HER OWN MOTHER'S CHALLENGING BIRTH EXPERIENCE AND THE LASTING IMPACT IT HAD ON THEM BOTH, SHE GREW UP WITH AN INNER KNOWING THAT SHE WAS MEANT TO WALK A PATH OF ENCOURAGING A DIFFERENT STORY FOR OTHERS. THOUGH SHE CARRIES THE TRUTH OF DUALITY WITH HER, FINDING MEANING IN THE REFLECTION THAT HAD HER MOTHER'S STORY BEEN DIFFERENT, SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE FELT HER DESTINY CALLING, DEVELOPING THE PASSION THAT FEELS AS THOUGH IT RUNS THROUGH HER VEINS, TODAY. SHE SUPPORTS BIRTH AND THE FOURTH TRIMESTER SAFELY AND INTUITIVELY, ALLOWING IT TO UNFOLD ORGANICALLY, SHE'LL SIT WITH AND HOLD YOU IN THE BEAUTIFUL MESSINESS, MATCHING THE ENERGY NEEDED FOR EACH MOTHER'S UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. A WOMAN OF ATTENTION AND INTENTION - HER SUPERPOWER IS BEING IN SERVICE TO OTHERS. REWILDING BOTH BIRTH AND LIFE, GROUNDED AND DEEPLY ATTUNED -EM CREATES SAFE, NURTURING SPACES WHERE MOTHERS AND BABES CAN COME THROUGH THE PORTAL OF BIRTH AND RECOVER WITH DEEP CARE AND FATHERS CAN RISE IN THEIR POWER TO SUPPORT. SUPPORTING IN HOSPITAL, HOME BIRTH OR BIRTH CENTERS, SHE HOLDS AND PROTECTS THE PRECIOUS, INTIMATE AND VULNERABLE NEW SPACE FAMILIES ENTER TOGETHER. HER LIFE AND WORK ARE GUIDED BY THE SAME TRUTH-WHEN WE NURTURE OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, WE HEAL SOMETHING DEEPER WITHIN US ALL, SOMETHING THAT RIPPLES BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD THROUGH TIME.

Tayna was an incredible doula for our new family of three. From the very beginning, she centered everything around education-based choices, which was so important to me. She didn’t just offer support, but also equipped both me and my husband with the knowledge and confidence to navigate every decision we faced. During labor and delivery, she was a steady, grounding presence. In a space that can feel overwhelming and unpredictable, Tayna was the calm in the storm. She supported us in advocating for our wants and needs while also helping us stay flexible and informed in the moment. Because of her, my birth experience felt empowering, supported, and truly beautiful. She held space for us in a way that made us feel seen, heard, and completely cared for. We are so grateful for Tayna and feel truly lucky to have had her as part of this experience.

Oh my God, I love Pearl! Every time I need to book an appointment, I look forward to seeing her. During my prenatal visits, she was always so supportive. Whenever I complained about back pain, she would give me a back rub that really helped. She also taught me breathing techniques and shared many helpful tips throughout my pregnancy. After my baby was born, Pearl continued to be an amazing support. She showed me how to bathe my baby and helped me feel more confident as a new mom. She would even watch my baby while I took a shower, ate a meal, or took care of personal things. I highly recommend Pearl to anyone looking for a caring, knowledgeable, and supportive doula. She truly goes above and beyond for her clients!
