At Birth by Brit I believe that birth and feeding should feel supported, empowered, and even a little magical. I’m here for you to be there every step of the way from pregnancy, birth and beyond with non-judgmental and evidence based care. My business is led by me, a nurse, lactation counselor, and parent who knows the beauty and chaos of this season firsthand. I have been an OB nurse for the past 7 years, a lactation counselor the last 4 years and a mom of 2. I lead with compassion and have a strong belief in tailoring your care to YOU and your individual needs. My philosophy is that education is empowerment. I fully believe that feeling prepared and educated early on brings such a sense of calm and control your birthing space. I proudly serve all birthing people and families, honoring every identity, body, and background with inclusive care. I offer both virtual and in person services to be able to support families with a variety of budgets

After feeling dismissed and intimidated into making decisions against my better judgment during my first birth, I knew I wanted a different experience the second time and specifically sought out advocacy--hiring Britt as my doula was one of the best decisions I made. From the beginning, she was incredibly relatable and easy to talk to, taking the time to truly understand my preferences, concerns, and goals. Her background as a former high-risk RN, combined with her doula training, gave me so much confidence. She explained things clearly, helped me make informed decisions, and always made sure I felt heard and respected. No matter what questions or worries I had, she met them with patience and reassurance. Even though my birth didn't go as planned and ended in an unplanned C-section, Britt's support never wavered. She was a steady, calming presence throughout and helped me feel empowered and cared for every step of the way. I'm so grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly supportive doula. During such a vulnerable time where appointments can feel impersonal and too "routine", it was such a blessing to feel/know that someone really genuinely cared about me, my pregnancy and by baby!

I am a postpartum doula dedicated to supporting families as they welcome their newest little one. My passion for this work grew from a deep belief that parents deserve just as much care and nurturing as their babies. Whether you’re recovering from birth, navigating the early days of parenthood, or adjusting to life with a newly adopted baby, my goal is to create a calm, supportive environment where you feel rested, confident, and cared for. I offer a blend of emotional support, practical guidance, and hands-on help tailored to your family’s unique needs. As a mom of two young boys, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges that come with welcoming a baby. Those early days can be beautiful, exhausting, and everything in between — and it’s what inspired me to walk alongside other families during this precious season. It’s an honor to support parents as they grow their families, and I’d be honored to support yours.

I wasn’t sure what the balance of welcoming our second child would bring but I’m glad Kim was able to offer support through the adjustment. Kim provided much needed hands on help during the newborn phase and early postpartum period which helped me feel confident and better adjusted early on. She has a gentle and calm approach to supporting both mom and baby. I also appreciated her guidance and knowledge in navigating breastfeeding. I am grateful to Kim for her patience, support, and presence during this important transition for myself and my family.

Hi My name is Javanne Brooks and I am a doula and nurse practitioner who believes whole heartedly that giving birth should be one of the greatest experiences in a persons life. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, as it wasn’t for me during my birth. It was my and the experience of so many other women that has catapulted me into maternity area of healthcare in which I strive with all of who I am to help pregnant women, husbands, and other supporters of pregnant women (moms, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, etc.) become educated and empowered advocates while in the birthing space. I have over 19 years of nursing experience as a nurse and nurse practitioner and am a clinical expert in my field. I have also helped support several pregnant, laboring and post-partum moms and partners navigate through the their maternity journeys. I am so excited to meet you and begin your journey toward a happy, healthy, educated and empowered maternal journey.

I have had the pleasure of working with Javanne twice. She is very hands-on and is extremely knowledgeable. My first experience with Javanne was in 2022 when I had my first child. As a first-time mother, I had so many questions as I was 41 weeks pregnant and felt pressured by my doctor to induce labor. I desired to have a natural birth but was fearful after talking with my OBGYN. I was scared and felt uneducated about the process. Javanne educated me on specific questions to ask, what to expect during my upcoming appointments as well as the risks. She helped me feel at ease while teaching me to advocate for myself. I chose not to be induced and had a fairly easy natural delivery. My second time working with Javanne was in 2024. I had another vaginal birth without an epidural. Everything seemed to have gone well. Two weeks later, I noticed I was having a difficult time breathing, and I could only sleep sitting up. Additionally, I was experiencing headaches and gaining weight. I messaged Javanne, and she explained that this was not normal and urged me to go to the ER. Thank God I did! I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and cardiomyopathy. Javanne was readily available for all my questions and educated me on the best possible treatments and what to ask my doctors and cardiologists. She also explained how postpartum preeclampsia can bring on cardiomyopathy. Javanne is attentive and wholeheartedly desires labor and delivery to be an enjoyable experience. I’m forever grateful for Javanne.

Hello, I’m Kathy, and I’m honored to walk alongside families as they journey into parenthood. Becoming a mother is one of the most beautiful and life-changing experiences a woman can go through. It can also be overwhelming, emotional, and filled with uncertainty. I believe no mother should have to navigate that journey feeling alone. As a Birth and Postpartum Doula, my heart is in supporting mothers and families through the many transitions that come with pregnancy, birth, and bringing a new baby home. I am here to listen, encourage, reassure, and provide a calm and caring presence when you need it most. My educational background in Psychology, with an emphasis in Family and Marriage Therapy, has deepened my understanding of the emotional and relational changes that can occur during this important season of life. The arrival of a baby changes more than a family’s daily routine—it can change how we see ourselves, how we connect with our partners, and how we navigate our new roles as parents. I bring this understanding into my doula work by creating a safe, compassionate space where mothers and families can feel heard, supported, and understood. During pregnancy and birth, I support you in preparing for the experience you envision while respecting that birth can sometimes take an unexpected path. Whether your birth plan changes or unfolds exactly as you hoped, you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported. After your baby arrives, my role is to help you find your rhythm as a new family. I provide practical and emotional support as you recover, learn your baby, navigate feeding and newborn care, adjust to new routines, and experience the many emotions that come with motherhood. I believe that caring for the mother is an essential part of caring for the family. My philosophy is simple: I don't believe in telling you how to be a mother. I believe in meeting you where you are, listening to what you need, and walking beside you as you discover your own way. There is no perfect birth, no perfect mother, and no single path into parenthood. There is only "your" journey—and I would be honored to be part of it. My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, supported, and confident as you move from pregnancy to birth and into the beautiful, sometimes messy, and deeply transformative journey of motherhood. You care for so many already. Let me help care for you.l.

Luz was truly the best doula I could have asked for. She supported me every step of the way throughout my pregnancy and was an incredible source of comfort, guidance, and knowledge. Her support during labor made all the difference. I genuinely believe that without her, I would not have had the smooth birth experience that I did. Her care didn't stop after delivery. During postpartum, she helped care for both my baby and me, allowing me to get the rest and recovery I needed. She even helped with everyday tasks like baby laundry and dishes, which was such a blessing during those early weeks. Luz is kind, respectful, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. Even though I had previous pregnancies, she taught me so much that I never knew before. Her dedication and support exceeded every expectation. I cannot recommend her enough, she is simply the best!

I am a native Los Angelino, raised in a bilingual household. I have always had a passion for working with children. While in high school I began volunteering at children’s hospitals, such as Millers Women and Children’s Hospital and LA Children’s Orthopedic Hospital, where I interacted with children suffering life threatening illnesses or challenging physical disabilities. Later, I was President of The Amigos Club, which aimed to bring together students regardless of abilities or neurodivergence during lunch period or after school activities. I even partnered with the Special Olympics to organize an inclusion game of basketball between our cities two rival high schools. These experiences sparked in me the desire to make a difference in the lives of others. After high school I enrolled in college and am a Child Development major. I have worked with children of all different ages in many different capacities; after school program leader, Live-Out Nanny/Babysitter, cheer coach, ABA therapist, and am currently an infant/toddler caretaker and Pre-K substitute teacher. I also help care for my grandmother with Alzheimer’s that lives with me. Most recently, I received my certification as a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula and am now enrolled in the Birthing Doula course. I’m a very nurturing person that connects naturally with others and can kindly and calmly respond to their needs. However, my extensive experience and education has given me the tools to be patient while also being intentional and proactive in order to provide the absolute best care. I am enthusiastic about how I will continue to serve families.

honestly don’t even know where to begin because words cannot express how grateful I am for Peaceful Passages Birthing Support Center. As a first-time mom, I was excited about having my baby, but I was also terrified of labor and delivery. I had so many questions, fears, and moments when I doubted myself. From our very first conversation, I knew I had found the right team. My doula was absolutely AMAZING! She was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about me and my baby. I never felt like just another client. She checked on me throughout my pregnancy, answered my endless questions, and helped me feel prepared for something I had never experienced before. But it was during my labor that I truly realized how blessed I was to have her. There were moments when I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore. She never left my side. She held my hand, helped me breathe through contractions, applied counterpressure, encouraged me, and reminded me how strong I was. When things became overwhelming, she was my calm in the middle of everything. She was also incredible with my husband. She guided him on how to support me and made sure he felt included in the entire experience. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and professional she was with the nurses and doctors. She helped me understand my options, encouraged me to ask questions, and made sure I felt heard without ever making me feel pressured. After my baby arrived, the support didn’t just stop. She continued checking on us and making sure I was doing okay physically and emotionally. I genuinely believe my birth experience would have been completely different without Peaceful Passages. This wasn’t just a doula showing up to do a job. This was someone who genuinely cared about me, my baby, and my entire birth experience. If you’re pregnant and wondering whether hiring a doula is worth it, PLEASE do yourself a favor and contact Peaceful Passages Birthing Support Center. I would choose them a thousand times over. They gave me something I will cherish forever: a birth experience where I felt safe, supported, empowered, and never alone.

Our experience with Charlotte was comfortable, compassionate and seamless. Charlotte is an outstanding doula with the on hand experience and advice that you need to feel confident, heard, and safe during what’s undoubtedly the scariest thing you’ve ever been through. Whether it was on hand at home before delivery, during labor, when it came time to push, and after the miracle - Charlotte is on it. Whether it’s holding a leg and counting breaths, gathering all the information and keeping tabs on the names of nurses or getting coconut water and helping with your hair- Charlotte has it covered. We love Charlotte; her ability to coordinate and manage the web of actions needed to help us deliver with confidence is incredible. Thank so much

Working with Monica of Bloom & Breathe Doula Co. was an incredible experience. From the moment she walked through the door, she brought a sense of confidence, calmness, and reassurance that made me feel safe and supported throughout labor. One of the most helpful parts of having Monica as my doula was her confidence and words of affirmation. As I navigated the intensity of labor, her calming presence helped me feel more relaxed, comfortable, and trusting of the birth process. I especially appreciated how naturally she stepped in wherever support was needed. There were moments when my partner needed to step away or wasn't quite sure what to do, and Monica seamlessly stepped in to provide support. My partner also felt supported knowing she was there to guide us and help whenever needed. I never felt judged or questioned. My wishes and birth preferences were always heard and respected. I truly didn't expect to feel as comfortable and safe as I did during such an intense experience, but Monica made that possible. Having Monica by my side made such a meaningful difference in our birth experience. Her ability to recognize what was needed, offer encouragement, and provide both physical and emotional support made her an invaluable part of our team. We are so grateful to have had Bloom & Breathe Doula Co. be part of such a special day. I would absolutely recommend Monica to any family looking for a compassionate, confident, and supportive birth doula! If you're looking for a doula who genuinely cares about your experience, listens to your wishes, and makes you feel supported every step of the way, Monica is the person you want in your corner. Birth is such a vulnerable and life-changing experience, and having someone like her beside you makes all the difference. I couldn't imagine having anyone else support us through this journey.
