Hello, and Welcome! I’m Valerie Lynn, a certified postpartum doula and certified in holistic postpartum recovery practices specializing in providing comprehensive night and day support to families as they transition into parenthood. With over 20 years of experience in Southeast Asia, I bring the wisdom of Eastern postpartum recovery practices directly to your home. Night Support I provide specialized night support focused on nurturing baby care and sleep conditioning. My goal is to empower parents to recognize when their baby is ready to self-soothe, fostering independent sleep habits that help your baby achieve 8 to 10 hours of restful sleep by three months. For mothers, I offer calming lactation support to ensure that night feeds are smooth and restful, promoting a more peaceful night's sleep for everyone. Day Support My day support combines expert baby care, lactation assistance, and holistic recovery services for mothers. These services are tailored to support both vaginal and cesarean births, helping to accelerate recovery. • For Vaginal and Cesarean Births: My holistic postpartum services include soothing body massage to reduce fluid retention in the abdomen, reset the nervous system, balance postpartum hormones, and improve breast milk production. I also offer specialized abdominal wrapping and nutritious meal preparation. • You can wrap after Cesarean Births: I use a unique abdominal wrap that protects your incision while encouraging fluid release and comfort. My clients love the gentle support it provides. Combination of Night and Day Support For the ultimate in care, you can combine night and day support. This approach ensures you get the rest you need while accelerating your recovery by up to 40% faster than typical U.S. standards. Prenatal Services Our holistic care can begin during pregnancy to alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, joint aches, and swelling caused by fluid retention. Through targeted treatments, we help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy journey. Postpartum Emotions I understand firsthand how overwhelming postpartum emotions can be. After the birth of my son 17 years ago, I faced postpartum anxiety and OCD. Through a combination of holistic recovery services and in-home support services, I found my way back to balance. For over 15 years, I've been the International Coordinator for Southeast Asia with Postpartum Support International, and I am deeply committed to helping others through their own postpartum journeys with empathy, understanding, and care. You don’t have to face this alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. My Approach and Background With two decades in Southeast Asia, I am extensively trained in Eastern postpartum recovery treatments. Together, we’ll create a personalized postpartum plan that aligns with your expectations and needs.

Valerie is so kind and thoughtful. I really appreciated my time with Valerie and her services were great! Being 6 weeks postpartum and taking care of a newborn, she was great at working around my schedule. Having Valerie was a way to not only focus on my postpartum recovery but also mentally recovery as well. Her wraps really helped me shed some water weight and made my stomach feel so much better after my c-section. Valerie is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed.

As a first-time mother in a new country, I was looking for a doula who could guide me through the birth process with understanding and care. Sitra provided just that. From our initial meetings, she made sure I felt comfortable and informed about my options, and during labor, her calm and professional presence was exactly what I needed. She was attentive to my needs, advocating for me and ensuring that I felt safe at every step. After the birth, Sitra also offered helpful support with breastfeeding, giving me the confidence I needed as I adjusted to life with my newborn. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled doula.

Hey mama, I’m Pam! I’m so glad you’re here. Being a doula brings me so much joy. It’s truly my passion and such a gift to walk alongside women through pregnancy, birth, and the early days of motherhood. I’m a certified birth and postpartum doula based in Ontario, California. With a background in women’s health and fertility support, I bring both heart and knowledge to the care I provide. My goal is to help you feel confident and at peace throughout your journey.

As a first-time mom, I had no idea what to expect going into labor and delivery. I was overwhelmed with information, emotions, and fear of the unknown. Hiring Pamela as our doula turned out to be one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. From our very first meeting, she radiated warmth, confidence, and compassion. She took the time to get to know me and my birth preferences without any judgment, offering gentle guidance and information to help me feel empowered and prepared. When labor began, she was right there, calm, steady, and supportive. She instinctively knew what I needed at every moment! Whether it was counter pressure during contractions, helping me breathe through a particularly intense moment, or simply whispering encouragement when I felt like giving up. She also supported my partner in ways we didn’t even realize we needed, helping him feel confident and involved rather than helpless. The birth itself was beautiful, intense, and deeply emotional. I truly believe I had the positive birth experience I hoped for because of her guidance and presence. Even after the birth, she stayed to make sure we were comfortable, and followed up with incredible postpartum care, checking in on my physical recovery, my emotional well-being, and helping us navigate those early newborn days. She wasn’t just a doula, she was an anchor, an advocate, a coach, and a friend. I honestly can’t imagine going through this journey without her by our side. Every mom deserves someone like Pamela. Someone who will hold space for your experience, empower you, and walk with you every step of the way. I’m endlessly grateful. If you’re considering hiring her, don’t hesitate! She’s truly extraordinary ❤️

Her passion for Birth Work began in 2020 when she got pregnant with her daughter Kailani. During pregnancy she prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually for labor, but did not prepare for the postpartum period. With no family or support around made her 4th trimester a very difficult time for her and her partner. Yose completed her Birth Worker training with Bebo Mia Inc when her daughter was only 3 months old. After the training she realized that she wanted to take a more ancestral approach in birth work, and began learning about Mexican Birth and Postpartum Traditions.

Hello! My name is Diane Lim and I am a postpartum doula. I have two children of my own - two beautiful baby boys. I became interested in postpartum doula care when I was going through the postpartum season with my firstborn. I just thought to myself how there isn't enough support for women who are going through the biggest transition of their lives! I want moms of all life stages to feel supported and cared for.

Recent review

I received postpartum care from Diane with my firstborn and I'm so thankful I did! She was at my home 4 nights a week to take care of my newborn overnight while my husband and I got some much needed sleep. I only woke up to feed the baby as I was breastfeeding and Diane would burp, diaper, and put him back to sleep. I'm so glad I decided to take care of myself during this huge life changing transition.

Diane was my doula with my first baby and she was amazing. She took care of the baby so I could get some extra sleep at night and she also took care of me, whether it was helping me with pumping or swaddling. I feel like she gave me the tools to take care of my newborn and to be okay once she left. I can’t recommend her enough.

My journey into this work began as a nanny, where I discovered how much I loved caring for little ones and supporting families. That passion grew even deeper while taking Child Development and Education courses at Saddleback College, which eventually led me to become a full-time postpartum doula. Now, I feel so honored to walk alongside new parents as they adjust to life with their baby. I offer gentle, nurturing support—emotionally and physically—during those early days, and I love helping families create healthy sleep foundations from the very beginning.

Hello everyone, I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula, as well as a Childbirth Educator. I absolutely love all things birth and baby, but my passion is in helping families adjust to the new changes that a baby brings. I truly believe that everyone should have the support that they need going into pregnancy, birth and postpartum. It's a rollercoaster of a time, with a million questions that come with it. My goal is to have the families I work with, feel informed and empowered during such a pivotal moment in their lives. I got interested in doula work before becoming a mom myself. Now as a mom, that interest has only been strengthened. I talk to so many parents who would've done things differently or wish they had known something back then that could've made their lives that much easier. with a newborn. My goal is to get the answers to my families that they need, whether that be from my own knowledge and expertise or connecting them to the right resources who can help them.

No matter what your family looks like, or what you want for a birth plan, I will support you to ensure your needs are are met by providing you with information and options, without judgement. I will be there for you to lower stress, anxiety, and pressure, and be your constant cheerleader through every step of your birthing and postpartum journey.

Recent review

My husband and I hired Jill after going back and forth on whether we even wanted/needed a doula and are so happy we did! From the moment we got pregnant, we knew that we were hospital birth people. Though friends and family had suggested a doula, those friends and family were the home birth / bathtub birth, free spirited, yogi types and nothing at all like us in terms of lifestyle or beliefs. We thought do we really need to spend the extra money? Would a doula would be too hippy-dippy for us? We interviewed four or five different doulas in the area and decided we’d give it a go and that Jill best fit our vibe. She was all about empowering us and not the least bit judgmental of our desire to have an OB, birth in a hospital, and leave the epidural on the table as a possibility. All in all, with Jill’s help we ended up having the unmedicated vaginal birth I desperately wanted but was too afraid to outright commit to from the outset. And if there’s anything I can say to those on the fence about a doula because of the cost, it makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE on delivery day. For us, that doula was Jill. She provided the physical and mental support my partner and I would have otherwise never even known we were missing (massage, position changes, words of encouragement, you name it!), and was 100% the reason we were able to have the unforgettable experience we did! We wish everyone could have a Jill with them on delivery day!!
