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.

I am so grateful to Donna for helping me promptly find two wonderful doulas who've assisted my family 7 nights a week. I reached out to Donna when I was pregnant with my second son. I was already in my second trimester and was extremely anxious to find a highly professional, educated, and knowledgable night doula that could help us for several months. I was having a lot of trouble finding the right match. Donna paired me with Lanny and Kimberly who were both caring, atten-tive, loving, and very experienced. Most importantly, they were on time and never missed a day of work. When there was an emergency, Lanny introduced me to her daughter Kimberly who became a backup doula for us. While their time with us has mostly come to an end, I especially consider Kimberly as a part of our family and hope to remain in touch. She was so loving to our older son as well, and we'd welcome her back to assist us in a variety of ways for a long time to come! If you're looking for a wonderful Doula Kimberly is a great choice.

My daughter had a great experience with her Doula Pauline Manning. By it being her first time giving birth she made her labor experience the best, she was very supportive, tentative , patient, hands on and gave her a lot of emotional support. Very soothing to her she gave her massages ,they walked together , She had my daughter do the ball exercise. Accommodated with whatever she needed. I highly recommend Ms. Manning she's the best .

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens and adults. While my clinical experience is quite broad, I especially enjoy helping individuals navigate life changes, including pregnancy, postpartum and parenting. As a Filipina American raised in an immigrant family, I am keenly aware of how cultural identity can shape one’s experiences and beliefs. As a parent of young children myself, I can fully appreciate the challenges that come with raising a family, integrating two cultures and developing a parenting approach that reflects those bicultural values. In therapy, I use a strength-based approach, drawing tools from different types of therapy. My goal is to empower my clients and help them learn coping strategies, find both solutions and acceptance and develop self compassion and resilience.

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. I am here to offer steady support, guidance, and encouragement so you can trust your body, your choices, and the process, knowing you are never alone. When I’m not serving mamas, you’ll probably find me at Disney with my husband, soaking up all the magic, with the best treats.

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 ❤️

I believe that it is a huge step to trust in yourself and body in order to bring your baby earth side. You step into another mind-space and you have to allow yourself to walk through the toughest moment of your life. You may forget all of the preparations you been learning, and only do one thing the entire time, but guess what, you did it. You did what felt right for you in every step of the way. You control what you need and only you will know what’s best for you. Hi, I’m Daisy and I am the birthkeeper that supports every decision you want to make, and it sounds cliché but it’s true. My opinion doesn’t matter when it comes to your decision making, only the suggestions and knowledge behind what options you have and the choice you want to make. I’m here for you.

I’m a wife and mom and I’ve been a photographer for 20+ years. Photographing newborns and families as they grow is truly my happy place. I feel that all my life experience has led me to this work and it’s incredibly satisfying. I am passionate about capturing those moments before they fly by. Because they go by so quickly! As a mother of 3 I totally get it. Family life is busy and we need things to be as low key and efficient as possible. I try to make your time in front of my camera LOW STRESS - and hopefully we can have some fun along the way! I like to let the siblings enjoy themselves and feel included in this special time. I like to get the newbies all milk drunk and sleepy so we can stare at them in awe. Mostly, I like to get everyone - young and old - to connect and laugh and remember the real reasons we get up and do this thing called life. I have photographed hundreds of growing families and it never once gets old. I’ll never lose the awe and the wonder at this beautiful... and sometimes difficult... and definitely transformational journey of self discovery that is parenthood.

I am a Perinatal Care Specialist — my job is to hold space for people as they navigate reproductive health and perinatal care by providing emotional support, physical comfort, practical assistance, and non-medical care. What that may look like depends on each client's individual needs and situation. I am passionate about education and love to not only learn new things myself, but also pass on my accumulated knowledge to others. I strongly believe that knowledge is power, and support my clients in navigating the healthcare field knowing their options and alternatives so they are better able to advocate for themselves, their bodies, their families, and their choices. I started my journey in the healthcare field in 2010 when I began training as a Massage Therapist in NYC. Since then I have become a New York State Licensed Massage Therapist, NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and since moving to LA in 2017, I have turned my focus more specifically to equity for marginalized people in health and wellness. I am now a DONA International Certified Doula, California Certified Massage Therapist, a Reiki Master, Yoga Instructor, trained in the use of Essential Oils for Birth and Postpartum, and most recently became a Certified Facilitator of The Resilience Toolkit.

Hey there! My name is Nikki and I'm so excited to support you and your family during this transitional time! Caring for families during the most exciting but also most vulnerable and scary time in their lives is my passion and calling. I particularly take interest in helping LGBTQIA+ families, neurodivergent parents, and parenting after infertility. My job is to leave a family feeling better than when I arrived by providing emotional and physical support, education, information, and resources.

Recent review

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

I believe in sacredness of coming into parenthood and want to protect it, so that it can unfold in an undisturbed way, as much as possible, and this includes pregnancy, birth, and the ever-so- vulnerable postpartum period. I also believe that the birthing person is the only one who has the authority to make decisions about their body and their baby because I know that those decision will be the best ones for them at that given moment. This leaves no space for judgment; only support and respect.
