I strongly recommend having Hua as a lactation consultant. She was both very professional and friendly. I felt comfortable with her as soon as she arrived. In one hour, I got all my questions answered, and I felt so much more confident with breastfeeding, and you will love the massage, amazing!

Stephani provided post-partum doula service to me and to say that she went above and beyond is an understatement. She has an intimate knowledge of the post-partum period and great skill in nourishing a new mama. She was culturally-sensitive to our family, and there for whatever we needed - meals, massage, a listening ear. Stephani's attentiveness was a joy and comfort during a challenging post-partum period.

Having Carrin as our postpartum doula for overnight care was a true gift during an incredibly vulnerable time. She brought such a calming, supportive presence into our home. Her help through those long nights allowed us to rest and recover, knowing our baby was in good hands. But more than that, she was there to talk through some really tough moments when I felt overwhelmed. I will always be grateful for her care and the comfort she brought to our family.

Hello, my name is Pei. After many cherished years as a stay-at-home mom, I am looking forward to returning to the workforce and doing what I know best: taking care of infants. My journey as a mother has deepened my understanding of the unique needs of newborns and their families and I am excited to share my knowledge and experience with others. I have raised three children of my own. My experience in caring for my own children has equipped me with practical skills in infant care, breastfeeding support, and emotional nurturing.

My goal is to ensure that every family feels supported, informed, and confident as they welcome their little ones. In my free time, you can find me watching the Tennis Channel, listening to my playlist on blast while doing housework, singing, and hopefully playing pickleball soon! And of course spending time with my family. I would be honored to be part of such an intimate time in your life. My heartfelt mission is to lovingly care for your baby, ensuring they feel safe, cherished, nurtured, and supported in every moment.

Amina is literally the best and choosing her as a doula was one of the best decisions i’ve made. Her vast experience made my birthing process positive. She is very humble and honest. She stood and helped me throughout my delivery and calmed me down during labor pains and made my vaginal delivery possible. I would highly recommend her if someone is looking for a perfect doula.

My approach is deeply rooted in the healing wisdom of Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), helping new parents feel nurtured, balanced, and empowered through every stage of their journey. I specialize in Ayurvedic postpartum massage and belly binding wrap, baby massage & infant bodywork, and breastfeeding difficulty support for newborn families.

Recent review

I worked with Heng Ma for six weeks after giving birth, and it was one of the best decisions I made for my postpartum recovery. Heng combines incredible skill with deep wisdom from traditional Chinese postpartum and newborn care. She taught me hands-free breastfeeding positions and how to nurse or pump while lying down. They are total game changers for a tired new mom! She also cooked delicious Chinese postpartum meals that not only tasted amazing but truly helped my body heal faster. Every day, she gave my baby a full body massage, and I’m sure it made a huge difference. My baby never had colic or constipation issues. Heng’s care, knowledge, and kindness made me feel supported, understood, and confident as a new mom. I can’t recommend her enough!

Throughout our time together, I will connect you to the resources and information you are seeking and empower you to step out of fear and into a deeper sense of confidence. I look forward to our time together and getting to champion your perinatal experience.

Recent review

Working with Aidyn was an amazing experience! From our very first meeting, she brought such a warm, calming presence that immediately made us feel supported and confident about our pregnancy and birth journey. Throughout pregnancy, she provided thoughtful guidance, evidence-based information, and emotional reassurance that truly helped us prepare in both body and mind. She always made sure to ask what we wanted to make sure to discuss or go over to ensure all our questions were answered. We ended up having a very short but eventful labor and delivery. Without Aidyn advocating for our needs and wishes and making sure we were comfortable and supported, we would have really struggled with how fast everything was moving and would have felt much more traumatic. Aidyn made sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed (and helped get it for us if we didn't have it). The physical and emotional support she provided during labor and delivery was vital and we are still so thankful that she was there with us. After birth, she continued to check in and offer postpartum support and was ready to help out in any way she could while I was dealing with the onset of postpartum depression and anxiety. She has been helping us navigate these first weeks with care and compassion and we can’t imagine having gone through this journey without her. If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated to helping families feel informed and empowered, I cannot recommend Aidyn highly enough! Truly one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

I have not interacted with Eunice as a doula, however she has done a wonderful job of caring for my infant for the first few months that I had to return to work after my maternity leave ended. She was thoughtful, loving, lighthearted, and my son adored her. Eunice is a lovely person and loves caring for babies.

I believe birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, transformative experience, and the way you are supported matters. As a birth doula, my role is to provide steady, evidence-based support while centering you: your preferences, your intuition, and your sense of safety. I support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period with calm presence, clear information, and compassionate advocacy. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported every step of the way. I work with all birth settings and outcomes — hospital births, unmedicated or medicated labors, planned or unplanned cesareans — and I meet each family where they are, without judgment. My approach is grounded in current evidence, emotional attunement, and the understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth — only what is right for you. Clients often tell me they feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better prepared after working together. I aim to be a steady presence you can lean on — someone who helps you understand your options, supports your partner, and creates space for you to stay connected to your body and your baby. If you’re looking for a doula who is calm, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in your experience — I would be honored to support you.

From the moment I decided to choose Olena, I have never regretted it. From the very beginning, Olena was incredibly attentive and supportive. Her two prenatal visits were incredibly helpful. She clearly explained what to expect during labor and helped me prepare for the upcoming challenges both mentally and physically. She demonstrated valuable pelvic floor exercises that gave me confidence and preparedness for my future labor. Throughout my entire labor, she was very responsive to my needs and ensured that my wishes and comfort were a priority. She worked closely and communicated effectively with the nurses and midwife, and her support was especially crucial when the question of a C-section arose. She confidently advocated for my preferences and helped my voice be heard. When the decision was finally made for a C-section, her support never wavered. Both my husband and I felt reassured by her steady presence in the operating room. One of the most meaningful moments for me came right after the birth of my son, when my husband needed to be with him and all the doctors were busy. I cannot forget the comfort of her hands on my face while I was getting stitches. It was exactly what I needed to feel safe and cared for. After the labor, she continued to provide me with comprehensive support. She taught me how to sit and breastfeed correctly, guided me through every step, and frequently checked in to make sure I was doing well. I truly valued her knowledge and genuine care, and she went above and beyond, sharing an incredibly helpful list of tips for newborn care, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding. Having Olena as our doula has been incredibly beneficial for both me and my husband. Her experience and unwavering support truly helped us through every step of this life-changing moment, and if my husband and I decide to have a second child, I know who I will choose as my doula.
