About me

Hi, I’m Nhatalie, a community-rooted doula dedicated to nurturing families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with care that’s culturally affirming and heart-centered. I was trained through Parenting Connection of Monterey County and bring a deep passion for holding space in ways that honor your story, your body, and your choices. I currently serve as the Executive Director of Kween’s Kounsel, an organization devoted to uplifting black birthing people through education, advocacy, and support. I also serve as the Board Secretary for The Birth Network of Monterey County, working alongside others to strengthen birth justice and equity in our region. Whether you’re navigating your first pregnancy or adding another little one to your family, I’m here to walk alongside you—offering support that’s grounded, compassionate, and attuned to your unique journey.

Service introduction

At Rich Living Doula Services, I offer holistic, culturally grounded support for pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum journey. Whether you're planning a hospital, birth center, or home birth, I’m here to walk beside you with care that centers your voice, your values, and your vision for your birth experience. My services include prenatal visits, continuous labor support, and postpartum check-ins to ensure you're not only prepared—but deeply supported every step of the way. Medi-Cal clients will receive services at no out of pocket cost to them and for everyone else I offer a sliding scale using the Green Bottle Method and payment plans, because I believe doula care should be accessible to all families. For Medi-Cal clients, I attend home births when a licensed midwife is present, in alignment with both my scope of practice and coverage requirements. For self-pay clients, I’m honored to attend all births, regardless of provider presence. Every family deserves to feel informed, empowered, and cared for—and that’s exactly what I aim to provide.

Sliding Scale
At Rich Living Doula Services, I believe that everyone deserves compassionate, high-quality support—regardless of their financial situation. That’s why I offer a sliding scale using the Green Bottle Method, a thoughtful approach that helps you determine what you can pay based on your access to resources. This method empowers you to choose a rate that feels fair and sustainable—both for you and for me. The Green Bottle is a visual tool that breaks down different levels of financial privilege and helps you self-assess where you might fall on the scale. It considers things like income, support systems, debt, and access to generational wealth. There’s no judgment—just a shared commitment to equity, trust, and mutual respect. I also know that life doesn’t fit neatly into categories. If your situation is unique or you need to negotiate something different, I welcome that conversation. Together, we can create a payment plan or arrangement that works for your family. My priority is making sure you feel seen, supported, and held throughout your journey.

Medi-Cal Families
If you are a Medi-Cal recipient, I'm so glad you're here—and I want you to know that you are fully eligible to receive doula support at no cost to you. Medi-Cal covers doula care as a part of its maternal health services, and I’m proud to be an enrolled provider. As a Medi-Cal client, you’re entitled to: ✔️ Up to 9 prenatal or postpartum visits (or a combination of both) ✔️ Labor and birth support ✔️ Up to 2 extended visits for additional postpartum or lactation support There are no out-of-pocket costs—these services are fully covered. If you’re planning a home birth, I can attend your birth as long as a licensed midwife is also present, in alignment with Medi-Cal guidelines and my scope of practice. If you're birthing in a hospital or birth center, I’ll be there to advocate, support, and help create a calm and empowered environment. If you have questions or need help enrolling for doula coverage through Medi-Cal, I’m happy to walk you through the process. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and never alone on this journey.
