Hi, I’m the mama behind Corazon de Madre. My journey into birthwork began with my own unmedicated birth—an experience that completely transformed me and awakened a deep desire to help women birth in God’s glory, power, and peace. I’m a Certified Doula through Pain Free Birth, a program rooted in undisturbed, unmedicated faith-based birth support, and I am also a HypnoBabies trained HypnoDoula. I’m currently working toward becoming both an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) and a Birthing from Within Childbirth Educator, blending clinical knowledge with creative, spiritual preparation. My approach weaves holistic traditions, ritual, and mindset work—using tools like birth art, journaling, and body-centered practices to help women connect deeply with themselves and their birth story. My dream is to offer perinatal healthcare that bridges Eastern wisdom and evidence-based care, honoring the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Gia was such a grounding presence throughout my pregnancy and birth. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel supported the whole way through. From our prenatal visits to labor support, I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. So grateful for her!

As a first-time mom without family nearby, I was overwhelmed, but Cooings made my postpartum journey smooth, supported, and even joyful. They matched me with an amazing postpartum doula who took care of both me and my baby with profession, warmth, and deep cultural understanding. From breastfeeding support to postpartum meals, emotional care, and even helping me sleep better, the service was above and beyond. I loved that everything was organized, timely, and truly focused on what mothers need. If you’re looking for trusted, respectful, and expert postpartum care, especially with an Asian cultural foundation, this is the place to go!

With years of experience as a dedicated midwife, my journey into newborn care has been a natural and deeply fulfilling progression. Supporting families through birth has given me a profound understanding of the gentle care, patience, and presence that newborns need. My background has equipped me not only with clinical expertise, but also with the emotional insight that comes from truly connecting with both babies and their families. What inspires me most is the opportunity to work with children. There’s a unique joy and innocence in every little one, and being a part of their earliest days is a privilege I hold close to my heart. I love watching their personalities begin to unfold and knowing that the nurturing and support I provide can make a lasting impact on their growth and development. Helping families feel confident and cared for during this tender time is what continues to drive my passion every day.

Hi, I’m Sara—a devoted doula with a deep passion for supporting families through both birth and the postpartum journey. I’ve had the privilege of being part of over 100 births, and I bring a calm, grounded presence along with a wide range of experience to every family I work with. As a mom of five—including twins—and someone who’s had home births myself, I truly understand how powerful, intense, and personal the transition into parenthood can be. Whether I’m by your side during labor or helping you navigate those tender early weeks at home, my goal is always the same: to provide steady, compassionate support tailored to your unique needs. Now that my own children are older, I’m thrilled to be reengaging fully with the work I love. Being part of this sacred chapter in people’s lives—both during birth and in those early postpartum days—is an incredible honor. If you’re looking for someone to walk with you through it all, I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Let’s take this step together.

We were so grateful to have Terese's advice, guidance, and support for the first six weeks of our son's life. As new parents, we were very nervous about bringing a newborn home and Terese put us at such ease with her knowledge and experience. She showed us how to use all the baby gadgets (swaddles, breast pump, sterilizer, baby carrier etc) and made helpful suggestions about sleep, nursing, bottles, tummy time and more. She helped us with household tasks so that I could get some much needed rest. She was so great to work with and we plan to stay in touch. We highly recommend her services.

My journey began with a simple desire — to support women as they step into the transformative journey that is motherhood. I recognize that every mother's path is unique, with its own challenges and triumphs. I'm here to ensure that every step you take is met with understanding, knowledge, and unwavering support. Every mother's voice deserves to be heard, her choices respected, and her experiences validated. As an experienced birth and postpartum doula, I have seen the profound difference personalized care can make, and I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. You are the heart of this journey. They say it takes a village to raise a child. I would be honored to be part of yours!

Debra was very supportive and the best doula I could asked for. She was there when I gave birth to my first daughter, she made me feel heard and understood I would recommend her to anyone that needs a doula because she does above and beyond. In fact when I choose to have another baby I’ll make sure to contact her again to be my doula

I focus on overnight newborn support and daytime “mommy’s helper” care—everything from feeding (bottle or breastfeeding support), diaper changes, baby laundry, and sanitizing bottles and pump parts, to helping establish healthy sleep habits and routines as your baby grows. Every family is unique, and I always tailor my care to meet your specific needs and parenting style. I’d love to connect, learn more about your family, and see how I might best support you during this exciting transition.

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.

I’m a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey began by supporting friends through birth and postpartum while navigating the unpredictable life of a military family. A path that taught me flexibility, compassion, and a deep respect for the strength of parents. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a corrections officer, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and advocate fiercely for others. Today, I bring that same steady confidence to the families I serve through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Once a city girl and now deeply connected to nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness in my work as a birth and postpartum doula, infant sleep consultant, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I also provide traditional belly binding support to promote healing, grounding, and body awareness during the postpartum transition. As a mom to two spirited boys and two lovable fur babies, I know firsthand how messy, magical, and transformative those early days can be. My goal is to walk beside you with knowledge, warmth, and zero judgment. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, supporting your body’s healing journey, or finding rhythm and rest with your newborn. I’m honored to support families through every layer of this season- body, mind, and heart.

Hi, I'm Maribel. A DONA International certified birth doula and birth photographer based in Southern California. My work lives at the intersection of stewardship and artistry—offering both grounded support and honest, meaningful images that reflect the real story of your birth.

This calling lights me up like no other profession ever has, and I’m honored to walk alongside you—offering heart, skill, and presence every step of the way.

I cannot recommend Maribel enough. She supported me through the birth of my third baby boy, and the experience was nothing short of beautiful. From the very first moment she arrived, she brought a calm, warm presence that made the hospital feel more like a safe, comforting space. She made sure the atmosphere was peaceful, so much so that I almost forgot I was even in a hospital room. Maribel was by my side the entire time, holding my hand, applying pressure to my back to ease the pain, and gently encouraging me every step of the way. One of my biggest goals was to have an unmedicated birth, something I hadn’t been able to experience with my first two sons due to pressure from the hospital staff. This time, she made sure my voice was heard. She advocated for me, reminded me of my strength, and helped me achieve the peaceful birth I had always dreamed of. The most unforgettable moment was when I welcomed my baby boy with our hands. It was powerful, emotional, and something I will cherish for the rest of my life. Not only was she an incredible doula, but we’ve also become great friends since then. I will always be grateful for her support, her strength, and her heart. I’ve already recommended her to my friends so they too can experience the beauty of childbirth with someone as dedicated as her. There’s also the fact that she speaks both English and Spanish fluently.
