I am a registered nurse with over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for pediatric patients in a range of clinical settings—including the NICU and nursery at Miller Children’s Hospital— I bring both a strong clinical background and a deep passion for nurturing newborns during their earliest stages of life. Beyond my qualifications, I genuinely love supporting families as they navigate the early stages of parenthood. I understand the importance of rest for new parents and take pride in creating a calm, reassuring environment overnight. I aim not only to care for infants with the highest level of professionalism and compassion but also to give parents the peace of mind they deserve.

Hello! My name is Bianca and I am a full spectrum (birth, postpartum and loss doula) serving the Los Ángeles county area. I focus on traditional and spiritual practices because I believe that birth is a sacred initiation to go deeper, and that all the wisdom that we are looking for on how to navigate is already available within. I provide nutrition, lactation, herbal, and labor prep support to all clients. My goal is to make you feel as empowered about YOUR ideal birth. Outside of birthwork, I absolutely love crafts, hiking, traveling, writing, making medicine, and being with my family and friends. Looking forward to working with you!

Hey, my name is Stephanie Jackson and I am a full-spectrum doula I have a background in public health and five years of experience supporting births. My journey into this work was profoundly influenced by a tragic experience of a close friend during childbirth, which inspired me to formally pursue this path. I use an evidence-based approach while also being dedicated to making sure all my clients feel safe, heard, and supported throughout their pregnancy. I'll be by your side, helping you feel confident, prepared, and supported every step of the way.

As a Doula and birth worker, I'm committed to supporting you physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I've given birth to two beautiful babies (who are now grown/and almost grown) and I could not have done it without my doula. I have a Bachelors of Science in Human Environmental Sciences – which equates to commercial interior design - but childbirth is my passion. I have been teaching childbirth classes in The Bradley Method ® in Long Beach, California since 2011. In 2012, I became a certified Doula and have since had the honor of witnessing over 350 births. It is my goal to empower women and their partners, through positive education, to give birth in the most natural way possible. The benefits of a natural birth are countless and the value to the birthing parent, baby, and the family unit, are immeasurable. Bradley Method ® classes provide a safe place for parents to explore their options, and weigh the benefits and risks of interventions with which they may be presented, prior to arriving at the labor and delivery room. A doula added to that formula elevates the experience, improving outcomes and birth satisfaction. Education and Experience: • Certified Doula since 2012 (The VBACLink cert in 2019) • Affiliated Bradley Method® Instructor since 2011 • Evidence Based Birth® Instructor since 2018 • B.S. in Human Environmental Sciences, 1996 I'd love to help you advocate for whatever kind of birth YOU want.

Having Lia as a part of my birth team was beyond invaluable and I wish everyone could have Lia in their corner! I was fortunate to have her by my side through two pregnancies and natural unmedicated births as my doula. During my first pregnancy, my husband and I decided to take her Bradley Class in order to prepare for birth (highly recommend!). I didn’t originally have an intention of pursuing a natural unmedicated birth, but a few class sessions in and I was determined to make that happen. I knew I needed Lia as my doula in order to have that extra support and reassurance. Her knowledge and way of communicating all the information around pregnancy, birth, and most importantly advocacy, is that of an expert. Lia made me feel completely supported and empowered to stand firm in my birth goals and do anything and everything needed to put myself in the best possible position to achieve them including when I decided to switch providers late in both pregnancies as they were trying to force unnecessary inductions. She responded to every phone call, text message, and email throughout my pregnancies and even postpartum extremely quickly and helped me calmly navigate the medical system that can be difficult when wanting to go into spontaneous labor. During labor, Lia acted asupported both me and my husband as well as did ALL the things like providing counter pressure, ensuring I stayed hydrated, a barrier to my laborland bubble with hospital staff, etc. I can undoubtedly say that my outcomes would have been much different without her guidance, expertise, and encouragement. If you are thinking about hiring Lia as your doula or taking her class, do both!!

Hello, my name is Alyssa Ellison and I am a Postpartum Doula and newborn care specialist. I was born and raised in Carson, California and currently live in San Pedro, Ca. I've been a birth professional for about 7 years now and I thoroughly enjoy it. I got started in this industry almost by default. I am the daughter of the middle daughter of 5 girls. All of those girls (my aunts) gave birth to girls. If you can see where I'm going, I have seen a lot of birth over the years. Naturally I gravitate towards birth and the perinatal period where I find myself bonding with new and to be new mothers in assisting them with being an extra set of hands so that it allows them to be more hands on and better bond with their baby. I am looking forward to working with new families, creating new memories and helping to strengthen bonds within households.

My name is Jalyn and I am a holistically trained full-spectrum doula, placenta encapsulation specialist, and Certified Lactation Education Specialist! My contribution to birth-work is an extension of my spiritual practice that creates a sacred and safe space for truth, radically honest storytelling, generational karmic clearing, sovereign decision making, incorporating forgotten herbal and ancestral practices, reinforcing the importance of community support, and my capacity to support parents in a way that encompasses their holistic wellbeing-- and that of course includes plenty of recalibration and restoration during such a major lifestyle transformation. My hands-on support is an intersection of evidence-based practices with individualized approaches to care. I inform families of ALL of their options before, during, and after pregnancy — advocating for and supporting them in WHATEVER decisions they feel suit them best! I currently support families choosing home birth, birth center or hospital. I am proudly born and raised in South Central Los Angeles and my journey has been inspired by the stories of beautiful Black families in my community, both tragic and revolutionary! Alongside having a background in spiritual and shamanic facilitation , I also have 1+ years of experience with child care/live-in full time nannying, light tutoring, family centered wellness. In my personal time I love to create art through various mediums of expression (painting, crochet, herbal medicine making), create short films documenting my journey of evolution, and uplift the vibration of the collective around me by sharing wisdom based upon my personal experiences as a 26 year old! I intend to give women and families a safe space to express and embody their truths-- no matter how raw or unconventional.

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 certified by DONA International and have worked with many families using carrot benefits so I’m familiar with the process. Aside from being a birth and postpartum doula I am also a lactation and parent educator. I can provide guidance and help with breastfeeding, pumping, storing milk and if needed supplementing with formula. My approach is to meet each family needs, to offer the education and provide different options and let family decide what works best and go from there. There’s no right or wrong way to do things.

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.
