Hey Mama! I'm Christianna, a doula, a placenta encapsulation specialist, and a childbirth enthusiast who serves mothers during their pregnancies and births. I have seen and passionately believe that a woman's body is built for birth. Not only are women's bodies designed for childbirth, but mothers get to participate in the miraculous way a living soul enters this world. Being alive is truly a miracle, and I love being able to be present for such a sacred moment when a human being is born. It is my pleasure to educate and protect women as they prepare for this life-altering event. Childbirth can be both an intense and a glorious experience. Together, we will work to address your fears, educate you on your options, and prepare you for a day you will never forget!

As a doula it is not only my job to provide nurturing physical and emotional support during childbirth, but also to equip each family ahead of time with the knowledge and tools to feel confident going into birth. I believe this makes all the difference in the outcome.

Hi, I’m Danya! I’m originally from Texas and earned my degree at the University of North Texas, but I’ve happily made the Antelope Valley my home. I’m passionate about helping to fill the gaps in maternal care in our community and providing thoughtful, non-judgmental support for women throughout birth and the postpartum journey. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me baking something delicious, getting lost in a good book, or painting for fun. I’m also a lifelong animal lover and believe that a nurturing, caring environment—whether for people or pets—makes all the difference. I’d be honored to walk alongside you and your growing family, offering encouragement and care as you welcome your little one.

Hi, I'm Jaime! As a postpartum doula, PCD(DONA), I support new families with educational, emotional, and physical support. Within the unique needs of each family, I aim to establish an environment that promotes bonding, healing, and rest, while also educating on infant feeding, newborn care, family integration, baby milestones, and sleep. I also assist with light housekeeping and meal preparation. I have completed the following DONA International-approved training: Bini Birth DONA Approved Birth Doula Training (I'm now working solely as a postpartum doula), Sierra Childbirth Institute’s DONA International Postpartum Doula Training, Breastfeeding Basics for Doulas through Bini Birth, and Bini Birth's Childbirth Education Class. I am also excited about my journey towards becoming an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and have completed both the LES (Lactation Education Specialist) course, and Lactation Consultant Education course, through Breastfeed LA. I am excited to use the knowledge I gained to provide extra support for the breast/chestfeeding relationships of new families. As a mother of two, this work is deeply important to me. I enjoy supporting families as they find their voices as new parents. I have a past enriched with supporting births as a birth doula, and bring firsthand experience to the full spectrum of birth preparedness, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. I view my role as a doula as one that protects and holds sacred the journey of each family, knowing it will become a cherished memory for my clients.

Her knowledge, professionalism, experience, and level of compassion make her ideal choice for any support needs an expectant or new family may need. I spent many years working as a childbirth educator, doula, and L&D nurse. I have both referred my clients and used her services personally. I am very confident telling anyone they would be fortunate and grateful to have her as part of their support network.

Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Los Angeles. I am a Dona-trained certified birth doula, Trained Hypnobabies® Hypno-Doula, certified ayurvedic postpartum doula, and trained newborn care specialist in the LA area. I believe that every woman and mother deserves the support she wants and needs however that may look. I have over 12 years of experience in childcare in Switzerland and the U.S., and serve clients and English and German. I have focused my work in early childhood, and over five years specifically in newborn care and as a doula. I have always been drawn to holistic healing and the power of the human mind and body. I love cooking anything from pasta to kitchari, believe in the healing power of meditation and breath work and value a balanced approach of traditional and alternative medicine. My goal is to make you feel safe and deeply empowered as a parent.

My husband and I are so happy with Sophie. She’s an excellent doula, a wonderful person, and we consider her part of our family. We are first time parents and she has such a steady, comforting, kind presence that’s been crucial to helping us get through some tough days. We (and our dog, she loves Sophie) are always glad to see Sophie walk through the door. Sophie has also helped me with my breastfeeding journey - honestly, it’s not something that I’ve enjoyed overall, and she’s helped me clarify why I’m doing it and what can be done to make it easier. I’m still pumping and wouldn’t have made it this far without her. Sophie is also super thorough and documents in detail how each night goes with our daughter. I’ve changed up my daughter’s feeding routine several times with different supplements and breastmilk/formula combinations based on her gas and fussiness. Sophie is flexible and always willing to try a new routine, offering her thoughts based on what she sees at night, and is patient with me every time I want to mix it up :). In sum, we love Sophie and trust her completely with our daughter. I'm now pregnant with my second, and am obviously using Sophie as part of our dream team once again!
