Hello everyone! My name is Ariel Amarkarian, and I am an Armenian social justice advocate and dedicated birth worker. As a trained FULL SPECTRUM doula working toward certification with Birthing Advocacy, Stillbirthday, and DONA International. I provide compassionate emotional, physical, and informational support to all birthing people throughout every stage of their journey, from prenatal care to postpartum healing.

In addition to supporting childbirth, and postpartum, I also specialize in abortion care. I recognize that access to safe, respectful abortion services is a vital part of healthcare. My work is deeply rooted in principles of reproductive justice, health equity, inclusion, trauma-informed care, liberation and LOVE.

I am a homebirth midwife located in East Los Angeles. My goal for my clients is for them to feel educated in the world of birth, empowered in their experience, and safe with me as their provider. I spent most of my young life in Guangzhou, China where my family cared for orphaned newborns. After high school I found a maternity clinic in the Philippines offering midwifery training and began my journey there. After completing an accelerated program, I moved to California and became licensed with the Medical Board of CA. I worked in birth centers to gain further experience, then stepped fully into my own homebirth practice where my passion lies. I love homebirth. It offers endless opportunity to find personalized ways to care for and build trust with my clients. Homebirth and all the care leading up to it is holistic, it's intimate, and it's completely unique to each person's story.

My journey as a labor doula began in 2021, driven by a deep passion for supporting families during one of life’s most transformative moments. With a strong foundation in newborn and infant care since 2015, I feel truly honored to walk alongside parents as they welcome their little ones into the world. My background includes working as a Floortime therapist for children with ASD, serving as an after-school program director, and capturing magical memories as a photographer at Disneyland. Yet, nothing compares to the profound joy of hearing a baby's heartbeat on a monitor and then witnessing their first cries as they enter the world.

As an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), CLC, and Certified Postpartum Doula, my passion lies in educating, supporting, and holding space for all parents of newborn(s), especially around feeding. My trainings and experience provide me the opportunity to teach prenatal classes for expecting parents, of which I usually do privately in-home, and counsel families 1:1 with lactation support. Some of my specialities and services revolve around my knowledge of how to build a lactation foundation in the early weeks, care for a newborn, support the parent(s) based on their individual needs, and create infant routines. I currently work as an educator teaching lactation foundation and newborn care prenatal classes, as a lactation consultant, and as a nighttime postpartum doula, and I love every second of it!

Sarah began her journey into postpartum doula practice in 2015 through Birth Arts International and has since continued her education, becoming certified in Infant/Adult CPR and as a baby-wearing technician. She regularly attends workshops to ensure that she provides her clients with the most current and comprehensive support available. Growing up with a brother who has a non-verbal disability, Sarah learned from an early age to intuitively read and respond to unspoken needs. Witnessing her mother's nurturing care and trusting her own instincts have shaped Sarah's approach to providing compassionate, intuitive support to families, especially those who may struggle to express their needs. Her passion for newborn care, sparked by her personal experience as a mother of two, drives her work. Sarah offers services ranging from breastfeeding support to establishing sleep routines, helping parents feel confident and empowered in their journey with a new baby. The "village" of support she had after her children's births inspired her to offer others the same level of care and guidance. Outside of her work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family & friends, playing with the family dogs, being outdoors, cooking, and traveling.

Hi everyone, my name is Erica Villagomez and I am a certified birth doula serving the SCV and surrounding areas. My passion for birth began during my own experiences with pregnancy. My philosophy is: birth is a sensitive and intimate experience; which is why I treat this honor of doula support with integrity and the utmost respect. In my practice, I approach birth with a nonjudgmental-open heart. Every woman is different, and every birthing parent is unique.

Hello parents ❤️ My name is Juanita. I’m a caring and responsible nanny with experience taking care of newborn/babies. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on providing a safe, calm, and loving environment. I’m available during nights and happy to help.

I am a Newborn Care Specialist, with hands-on experience supporting families during the critical newborn stage. My role focuses on comprehensive newborn care, overnight support, feeding support, soothing, safe sleep practices, and helping parents feel confident and well-rested during the first months. I practice sleep conditioning rather than formal sleep training, as newborns feed on demand at this stage. I focus on gentle routines, recognizing sleep cues, age-appropriate soothing techniques, and laying healthy sleep foundations that support longer stretches of sleep as babies mature.

I am a mom of 3 girls, doula & midwife. I am approved by Carrot For a more detailed look at my services, feel free to visit my website or message me for a consultation!

Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season profoundly changed me. During my own journey, the steady presence of midwives, doulas, and compassionate birth workers made all the difference—helping me feel held, informed, and empowered during moments of deep vulnerability and growth.
