Hi parents! My name is Nicole Danley and I am a doula located in Southern California. I have been a doula since 2021, and I am also a student midwife with National College of Midwifery. I am a mother of two amazing teenagers, and one surrogate baby in 2021. My journey into the birth world began right after my surrogate journey, as the birth was very traumatic and life altering. After this experience I realized that there are so many facets of birth that are not explained to pregnant women and my mission in life began! Bring as much information and support to families to help them have a positive and empowered birth! I look forward to helping you on your birth journey.

Hello 🧡 My name is Priscilla and I am bilingual in spanish. I majored in Human Services with the intention of assisting mothers. I am also trauma informed. Having a Bachelors led me into becoming a certified Lactation Counselor. Hearing my mothers stories from their birth trauma, experiences within the medical system, has led me to receive my doula certification in order to be a better asset to service my families. I decided to take the Doula workshop under DONA due hearing my previous prenatal and postpartum clients stories. My desire is to come along families in order to assist them with the birth they desire from providing information and support for their birth journey. I have six years being in the home visiting program (my career), over a decade in the mental health space and currently working towards my International Board Certification Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification.

I believe every family deserves compassionate support throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and the transition into parenthood.

Hello there! My name is Sharon Jensen-Cody, and I'm thrilled to connect with you here. In my world, I share my life with my wonderful husband and our 2 kids who fill our days with joy and surprises. My journey into the world of birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for pregnancy and childbirth that took hold of me at a young age. The pivotal moment came when I witnessed my sister giving birth when I was just 17. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me. My mission as a DONA trained Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health and providing unwavering support to women as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys. I am here to walk alongside you, offering mental, emotional, and physical guidance to make your birth journey a truly empowering and memorable one. I am also a certified pediatric sleep consultant, passionate about teaching families how to gain restorative sleep with their little ones. I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your birth story and helping you navigate this extraordinary time in your life.

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.

Hi there! 🤍 Thank you so much for visiting my profile! I’d love to share a little about myself, what led me to birth work, and how I hope to support you and your family through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. As a doula, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and free to make the choices that are right for you and your family. I believe birth is deeply personal, and there is no single “right” way to experience it. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, considering pain management options, preparing for a cesarean, or still figuring out what feels right for you, you deserve compassionate, judgment-free support every step of the way. I’m here to offer evidence-based information, gentle education, encouragement, and hands-on support while helping you feel confident in your own voice and decisions. My role isn’t to tell you how your birth should look, but to help you feel informed, respected, and cared for throughout the process. I am trained through DONA International and have additional training in childbirth education and breastfeeding support. I’m passionate about helping families feel prepared not only for birth, but also for the transition into parenthood and those tender early postpartum days. Whether you need help navigating your options, reassurance during an overwhelming moment, support with feeding, or simply someone in your corner, I want you to feel that you don’t have to navigate this season alone. My journey into birth work began with my own experience becoming a mother. After the birth of my first daughter, I realized just how unprepared I had felt for labor and delivery. Looking back, I often felt like things were happening to me rather than feeling empowered to make informed decisions based on evidence, my preferences, and my maternal instincts. During my second pregnancy, I knew I wanted a different experience. I immersed myself in research, explored evidence-based birth practices, and became intentional about the kind of experience I wanted for myself and my baby. That journey changed the way I viewed birth and opened my eyes to how much of a difference feeling informed, heard, and supported can make. I knew I wanted to help other families experience that same sense of confidence and empowerment. I would love to connect with you! Whether you know exactly what kind of support you’re looking for or are just beginning to explore your options, you are welcome here. I’d love to learn more about you, your hopes for this season, and how I can best support you and your family. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey! 🤍

Autonomy-Centered Birth, Faith-based Birth & Postpartum Doula for Sovereign, Physiological Birth | Serving LA & OC | Kaiser-Friendly Hi, I’m Teejay Casado — your local doula for LA and Orange Counties. I am happy to also assist doulas beyond this area virtually and will travel if necessary. I started founder of Temple & Terrain Birthworks — a faith-rooted birth and postpartum support and wellness service. I specialize in supporting women who desire physiological, low-intervention birth while preserving autonomy and informed consent in hospital or home settings. My clients are often: • Planning natural or low-intervention hospital births • Desiring delayed cord clamping, Golden Hour, or lotus birth • Seeking evidence-based advocacy within systems like Kaiser • Wanting sovereignty in their birth decisions (e.g. labor to start naturally, push when ready, informed consent for vaccinations) • Craving calm, grounded leadership during labor With a background in anthropology, I honor birth as both an ancient physiological process and a sacred rite of passage. I help mothers prepare not just physically — but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually — so they enter birth informed, steady, and confident. Whether birthing at Kaiser or elsewhere, I guide families in: • Protecting the Golden Hour • Navigating hospital dynamics with clarity • Minimizing unnecessary interventions • Preserving mother-baby bonding • Creating a peaceful postpartum integration My postpartum support is deeply restorative, focused on nervous system regulation, gentle bodywork, whole-food nourishment, and helping mothers feel seen — not just cared for. If you are seeking sovereign birth, calm leadership, and faith-rooted support without pressure — I would love to connect.

Hi, I’m Sol, a full-spectrum birth doula proudly serving Whittier and the surrounding communities. As a bilingual Latina doula, I understand the importance of feeling seen, heard, and supported during one of life’s most transformative experiences. My mission is to help mothers feel informed, confident, and empowered to make the decisions that are right for themselves and their families throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum journey. I believe that knowledge is power. By providing evidence-based education, compassionate guidance, and continuous emotional and physical support, helping families navigate labor and delivery with confidence and peace of mind. Whether you’re planning an unmedicated birth, an epidural, a cesarean birth, or are still exploring your options, I am here to support your choices without judgment. My clients often tell me that one of the things they value most is the genuine connection we build. During our prenatal visits, I take the time to truly get to know you, understand your goals, answer your questions, and create a relationship built on trust. My hope is that when your birth day arrives, you feel like you have a calm, familiar presence by your side—someone who believes in you every step of the way. It is an honor to support growing families, and I look forward to helping you welcome your baby with confidence, strength, and compassionate care.

Hi, I’m Maribel, a DONA International-certified birth doula and birth photographer based in Irvine, serving Orange County and select surrounding communities in South Los Angeles County/South Bay, the western Inland Empire, and North County San Diego. I didn’t always know what a doula was. I found this work because I needed that kind of support myself, and experiencing what it felt like to have someone calm, familiar, and fully in my corner changed the way I understood birth. Eventually, it changed the direction of my work too. Today, I try to offer families that same sense of steadiness and connection. Before labor, we build a relationship and practice tools so the day feels more familiar. During birth, I adapt to what you need: hands-on comfort, positioning, breathing and relaxation, experience with different tools, a softer ambiance for relaxation, partner coaching, and support around informed decisions. I am especially intentional about partners; my role is to support them, not take their place, so they can spend less energy wondering what to do and more energy simply being your partner. After birth, I stay connected with early postpartum care for the families whose births I attend, including emotional, educational, and practical support within my scope. Photography comes from my love of real-life storytelling. Birth is so absorbing that there are parts of your own story you may not get to see while you are living them: the looks, the gestures, or the small moments surrounding the first time you meet your baby. My documentary approach is quiet and unobtrusive, preserving those pieces so you can return to them later. Birth photography may be booked on its own or woven into doula care. My broader full-spectrum doula work also includes standalone abortion support, pregnancy loss, and infant loss support. Eligible doula services may be covered through Medi-Cal or select commercial insurance benefits.

Hi, I’m Miri Rosen, founder of Joyful Beginnings Doula Services, a birth doula and Certified Lactation Educator serving families throughout Orange County and Southern California. I believe birth is one of the most sacred and transformative moments in a family’s story. It is a privilege to witness this incredible transition and to provide a steady, compassionate presence during a time filled with anticipation, strength, vulnerability, and love. My approach blends gentle guidance, evidence-based education, and unwavering emotional support. I am here to help you feel prepared before birth, confident during labor, and deeply supported as you welcome your baby into the world. Every birth is unique, and every family deserves to feel seen, respected, and empowered in their choices. Whether I am offering comfort through labor, helping you navigate decisions, providing reassurance during challenging moments, or supporting your early feeding journey, my intention is always the same—to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and cared for. Families often share that my calm presence brings them a sense of peace and confidence. They appreciate not only the support I provide, but the feeling of being truly held throughout one of life’s most meaningful experiences. This work is more than what I do—it is a calling rooted in compassion, connection, and a deep love for supporting families. Through Joyful Beginnings Doula Services, I am honored to walk beside you as you prepare for birth, embrace your strength, and begin your beautiful journey into parenthood.
