I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives. My path began after chiropractic school, inspired by my mom who has also been a doula for many years. Birth work feels like a natural extension of who I am.. I’ve always been a nurturer at heart, drawn to helping others feel safe, heard, advocated and cared for. I truly believe that every birth is unique and sacred, and I feel honored each time I’m invited to be part of a family’s story. In addition to doula care, I offer childbirth education, placenta services, and belly binding, with an approach that blends holistic support and practical guidance. Whether it’s helping you find confidence in early parenting, offering gentle structure for newborn sleep, or simply bringing calm and reassurance into your space, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I’m here to support and guide you without judgment, and to help make your journey into parenthood a peaceful, empowered, and memorable experience. I happily welcome every family with an open heart and provide care rooted in compassion, respect, and genuine connection.

Having Pearl by my side was such a blessing. She guided me through the hardest moments, gave me tools that actually worked, and made me feel truly cared for. I can’t imagine doing it without her.

This was my first experience working with a doula, and it exceeded my expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and she provided so much helpful information throughout the process. She supported me in reaching my birth goals, and my overall experience was significantly better than my first birth without a doula. I highly recommend her to anyone considering doula support.

Hello! I’m Lindsay, a birth and postpartum doula and mom of 2. I became passionate about maternal wellness when I was expecting my first child in Norway. I received such quality care — midwives, visiting baby nurses, cushy parental leave! — but I was still missing the emotional support and expertise I needed to help me navigate a foreign medical system and the many anxieties I held as a first time parent. Since then, I’ve learned from hundreds of parents that they, too, needed more support than was available to them. Often times, they felt others were pushing an agenda that was not in their best interest. I became a doula to help change that, one family at a time. I’m here to hold space for you, learn with you, ease your fears, and empower you to feel confident through this important time in your life. If you are looking for a doula to help you birth and nurture your child on your own terms, please consider booking a free consultation with me. I’d love to learn more about you and see if we are a good fit.

Asking Lindsay to be our Doula and specifically assist with postpartum care is the best decision we could have made as parents. Our second born was much more challenging than our first and loved to scream all hours of the day. Not only is Lindsay educated, great at explaining things, and creative, she also has a very patient and calming presence that we desperately needed. SOme of the other Doulas I met were too "out there" and I appreciated Lindsay's "down to earth" responses that were kind and intelligent. She helped us feel confident and stay focused and calm when we thought we couldn't handle the screaming anymore. She gave us reassurance even as second time parents, we couldn't have done it without her!

Let me help you support your birth journey.

Nicole is the best doula I could’ve ever asked for. She is kind, giving, supportive, loving, generous, and has been wonderful since we met. I heard from her very often in my pregnancy as she was always present. She is knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, labor, postpartum, etc. I always felt like I can count on her and reach out to her — she is always available to assist in any way she can. I received texts from her about pregnancy exercises/workouts, pregnancy and postpartum meals, ways to give a natural birth, labor tips, and other super helpful information. Additionally, Nicole’s past experience in HR was beneficial as she helped me create a plan to be with my baby as long as possible. Notably, she helped me create a detailed birth plan and once at the hospital made sure I was advocated for and that the staff stuck to my preferences. She coached me through giving birth to my son successfully. My baby came out healthy and beautiful. I am so grateful our paths have crossed and that she was my doula. Nicole is without hesitation a pleasure to be around and is the best support system for moms looking for guidance, love, and assistance. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

From day one, my doula was amazing she was — on time, super knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely present. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she showed up for me. She listened, supported, and made me feel seen through my high-risk pregnancy and delivery. When things got tough postpartum and I ended up with a severe infection, her nursing background was everything. She helped me navigate that scary time with so much care and confidence. Honestly, she felt like family — the kind of calm, nurturing energy every mom deserves. I mean she drove to the hospital at 1am to visit me when I was 4 weeks postpartum at the drop of a dime when I sent at SOS text (I knew she cared but this was next level) If she’s available next time, I’m 1000% booking her again. Couldn’t recommend her more. I delivered at Loma Linda and they were very doula friendly.

Hi there! Thank you so much for visiting my site and for your interest in my services. I would love to give you a little info about me so you can better understand who I am and how I can help you along your journey in parenthood. My name is Janee and I live in Cypress with my husband, Jake and our 4 daughters- Olivia, Sophia, Avery, and Harper. After the birth of my first daughter, I realized how underprepared I was for labor. I looked back on my experience unhappy with the things that were ‘done to me,’ rather than being able to make educated decisions based on evidence and my maternal instincts. During my second pregnancy, I knew I wanted to be more prepared and have a completely different birth experience. I did a lot of research on evidence-based practices and created an ideal vision for what I wanted this next birth to look like. After my dream birth, I immediately felt justified for wanting more for myself AND my baby. I had a newfound sense of empowerment as a mother. Ever since, I knew I wanted to be a part of this amazing birth community to help other families feel this same joy. My goal is to provide gentle education, encouragement, and support in whichever ways you need it, while tending to your family’s unique needs during this beautiful time in your life. I am a trained Doula through DONA International. I also have extensive training in childbirth education and breastfeeding support. I welcome all inquiries. Please use my Contact page to send me a message about what you’re looking for and how I can help you. I look forward to speaking with you!

As a first-time dad, I wasn’t totally sure what a doula did—I just knew I wanted my wife to feel supported during labor. What I didn’t expect was how much I would benefit from having her there, too. From the moment we hired Janée, she made both of us feel informed, confident, and ready. She took the time to educate us on the stages of labor, comfort techniques, and what to expect in the hospital. By the time my wife went into labor, I actually felt prepared instead of overwhelmed. During the birth, she was absolutely incredible. She supported my wife emotionally and physically, but she also guided me on how to support her better—whether it was suggesting positions, showing me how to apply counter-pressure, or reassuring me when things got intense. I never once felt useless or in the way. Instead, I felt like an active part of the process, which meant everything to me. She created a calm, encouraging atmosphere the entire time. Anytime we had questions, she explained things clearly and helped us feel comfortable with the decisions we were making. Her presence took so much stress off both of us, allowing me to focus on my wife and stay grounded. Looking back, hiring Janée was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just support my wife—she empowered me as a husband and new father. If you’re on the fence, especially as a dad, take it from me: a good doula is worth every bit of it. She made our birth experience something we’ll be grateful for forever.

I've been a birth doula for 35 years (I started young!) and I am also a childbirth educator. I got into doula work to advocate so that you can have the best birth possible. I am certified in Spiningbabies, the Rebozo Technique and in Acupuncture. I have always said.....this is your baby, your body and your birth and I'm there to support you in however and wherever you want to birth. I want to make sure that your spouse/partner also feels supported and cared for also. I live in Oceanside and serve San Diego County.

My experience with Kym completely exceeded my expectations. It was my first birth, so I was not entirely sure what to expect from a doula, and every interaction with Kym affirmed my decision to work with her. I felt supported by her throughout my journey. There's no way I would've gone as far as I did naturally if Kym had not been present. She was also an incredible support to my partner during the birth experience, and she kept encouraging him to take care of himself as well. One of my favorite aspects of my experience with Kym was the check-ins she provided postpartum. Every day I received a text from Kym asking how I was doing and telling me I was amazing. I felt I could share exactly how I was feeling with her and any worries I had; she met them without any judgment just care and concern. The birth process is incredibly hard, and postpartum in many ways is harder, so I was deeply grateful to have Kym's continued support. I would highly recommend Kym to anyone who is seeking a supportive, knowledgeable cheerleader in their birth journey.

Please reach out to me through my instagram: @sddarlingdoula or email: sddarlingdoula@gmail.com Hi I’m Summer! I’m a Birth Doula passionate about giving parents the tools they need to advocate for themselves and their birthing choices! I first decided to become a Doula after hearing countless stories of doctors pressuring unnecessary interventions, making what should be the most special day of your life, into a traumatic experience. I was struck by how susceptible new parents can be to misinformation, and my goal as a doula is to eliminate that uncertainty and foster a loving and safe birthing environment for mother and child. Of course the most important thing is that mama and baby are healthy, but that’s not the only important thing. I believe that as a mother your instinct is just as strong as that fetal ejection reflex 💪🏽 and my job is to help you listen to it. I absolutely love being a doula and am so excited to support more families through this amazing journey. I would love to connect so please feel free to reach out anytime! 🌻✨

Brandi was our son’s night nurse for the first week of his life. Exhausted and sore, I arrived home from the hospital with our son and was grateful to have Brandi there to meet us and take care of our baby overnight. She was warm and loving with our baby, took to him easily, and shared helpful observations and advice throughout the week. We slept peacefully each evening knowing she was there!

I have always been someone who loves to take care of others. For family and friends, I was the one they’d call in an emergency, when someone is passing, when life decisions were being made. I went to college to become a nurse because I wanted to ensure I had a career where I could support people. God works in mysterious ways and I wasn’t able to apply for the nursing program at the college I went to. I had decided to get a degree in Health Systems Management and later, to do the accelerated nursing program. Plans don’t typically work on the way you dream and I found myself two kids later, 1 year too late, unable to apply for the accelerated nursing program. During this season, I had Andrew, our child that wasn’t birthed with the support of a doula, and I knew, being a doula was my answer. I’ve had felt unseen, unheard and unimportant when I was giving birth and I wanted to make sure that didn’t happen to others. I’m often get introduced as “Doula Jenn” and, I love it. I don’t just doula people through childbirth, I support through life. Parenthood is hard, marriages are hard, finding connection with friends is hard and I want to come alongside you in life. I’m an active member of the High Vibe Mom Tribe and I host virtual book clubs several times a year to support women through their marriages.
