Hi, I’m Briseida Fredrickson, the heart behind Luz y Luna Doula Services. I’m a proud Latina, a mama, and a doula offering prenatal, birth, postpartum, and sibling support. I grew up in a Mexican family where caring for each other with food, love, and presence was just part of life. That’s the same energy I bring to my work. Before becoming a doula, I earned my Master’s degree in Education Technology, taught in the classroom, and spent years nannying, caring for children of all ages. Becoming a mother reminded me how much support families truly need. That’s why I’m here to offer comfort, guidance, and the steady, loving presence of a big sister or tía. Whether you’re preparing for birth, welcoming your baby, or helping older kiddos adjust, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.

I am a Certified Lactation Counselor and Birth/Postpartum Doula, and was called to this work because of my own experiences. I had a myriad of pregnancy issues, including loss, high risk medical complications, postpartum mood disorder, PTSD, and breastfeeding challenges. Like many families, we could not find the right resources, despite looking and asking for help. I don't want another person to fall through the cracks like I did. That was back in 2007/2008, and while more support systems are in place, we are still clearly lacking. We all benefit from having compassionate, non-judgmental help in the process of starting or adding to our families, and it brings me immense satisfaction to be that person for others.

Hello, I’m Nadine, a Certified Postpartum & Infant Care Doula, and mother of two wonderful girls (ages 7 and 9). I believe every family deserves to feel supported, rested, and confident as they welcome a new baby home. I was born and raised in Germany and have lived in the United States with my husband and our daughters for over a decade. My journey through motherhood — and across cultures — has shaped how I approach care: with empathy, understanding, and deep respect for every family’s unique values, traditions, and choices. Becoming a mother myself opened my eyes to how magical, and sometimes overwhelming, those early weeks can be. I remember the joy, the exhaustion, and the constant learning curve. Those experiences inspired me to become a compassionate advocate for new parents - someone who offers calm, unbiased support without judgment. As your postpartum doula, my goal is to create a nurturing space where you can rest, recover, and bond with your baby in your own way. I provide gentle guidance, emotional reassurance, and hands-on help — always honoring your decisions and beliefs as you find your rhythm in this new chapter of parenthood. Every family’s journey is different, and I’m honored to walk beside you with warmth, understanding, and care.
