Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Norwalk, CA

I'm a full spectrum doula, lactation educator, and childbirth educator with more than 20 years of experience supporting families.

I'm a New Yorker of Caribbean descent, a tomboy at heart who loves hard, plays sports, and is creative. A former educator, I see pregnancy as sacred community work and my clients as family. My doula philosophy is rooted in radical presence, cultural humility, and Christ-centered service. I believe every birth deserves advocacy, informed choice, and a warm village wrapped around it. My intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where families feel seen, heard, and held in their full stories, whether in joy, grief, or the in-between. I try to live out the Acts-church model, showing up, sharing life, and walking alongside families as I follow God's divine direction while continually learning and growing. I've been a doula for about five years and am now on my journey to become a midwife, carrying that same heart of service into clinical care. Serving the community is my daily bread; I get to serve God's children with my hands, my skills, and my presence, and that is what truly gives me life.

I am here to help guide and support you thru the process.

Hello Everyone! My name is Donna Moragne-Hanson. I'm a licensed midwife in Los Angeles, CA providing well-woman, pre-conception and prenatal/postpartum midwifery care. I also provide doula care, childbirth education and lactation support from the privacy of my in-home birthing studio. Here you & your family are provided with everything you need for a safe, comfortable and peaceful birth. Receive 24 Golden Hours of maternal & newborn postpartum care as you enjoy 3 homemade meals prepared to restore, center and balance your body before journeying home with your new babe. I offer specialty services such as yoni steams, healing herbal baths, Ala-carte Postpartum packages and the "Closing of the Bones" ceremony, bringing spiritual closure to your birth. For me, establishing trust with my client is the most important and fundamental. My practice is built on nurturing trust and learning to let go of the things we allow to interfere with trust. I want to encourage trusting in yourself; trusting in your body (and the natural process of giving birth); trusting in your baby (and their own divinely written birth story); trusting in humanity (and the world your baby is born into) and trusting in our partnership, as client and midwife. I believe, "when a woman is heard, she is seen; when she is seen, she has a voice"; and as her midwife I am compelled to encourage her to honor that voice; her voice. In this way I believe I am blessed with an opportunity to fulfill my role as supporter, facilitator, educator and client advocate; the ultimate calling of a midwife. For me, describing the process of birth is like trying to describe a miracle; and walking with a woman as she becomes a mother is even more profound…I am beyond words. Donna, LM, CPM

I hold a degree in Psychology with a concentration in Marriage and Family Therapy and Child Development, which has guided me towards my current role as a postpartum doula.

Supporting families through birth and postpartum has been woven into my life from the very beginning! As a Labor & Delivery nurse, I have the privilege of witnessing strength, vulnerability, and the incredible transformation that happens when a baby is born — and I never take that honor lightly. Long before nursing, I learned what wholehearted caregiving looks like from my mom, an incredible doula whose heart for families shaped my own. Watching her show up with patience, tenderness, and unwavering support inspired the way I care for others — with warmth, intention, and genuine joy. Beyond the hospital setting, I bring extensive nanny and night nanny experience, along with serving as Director of a postpartum retreat in Philadelphia, where I supported families during their earliest, most tender weeks. That experience gave me a deeply intimate understanding of postpartum recovery and what families truly need — reassurance, education, calm energy, and someone who feels like part of their village. I am highly communicative, organized, and intentional, while also easygoing and adaptable to each family’s rhythm. I love teaching parents about newborn care and the postpartum process, empowering them to feel confident and supported every step of the way. I take pride in leaving homes more peaceful and cared for than I found them. Having recently relocated to California, I am so excited to build roots within the birth community here and to walk alongside families during one of the most meaningful seasons of their lives.
