My journey into this work began as a nanny, where I discovered how much I loved caring for little ones and supporting families. That passion grew even deeper while taking Child Development and Education courses at Saddleback College, which eventually led me to become a full-time postpartum doula. Now, I feel so honored to walk alongside new parents as they adjust to life with their baby. I offer gentle, nurturing support—emotionally and physically—during those early days, and I love helping families create healthy sleep foundations from the very beginning.

Katie helped me out after I gave birth. She was extremely helpful and made me feel super comfortable leaving her with my baby and getting stuff done around the house. She had him asleep and relaxed in her arms which helped this stressed out momma. I highly recommend her!

Yose is a Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula, Certified Lactation Educator, and Birthrights advocate in Orange County, California. Her passion for Birth Work began in 2020 when she got pregnant with her daughter Kailani. During pregnancy she prepared mentally, physically, and spiritually for labor, but did not prepare for the postpartum period. With no family or support around made her 4th trimester a very difficult time for her and her partner. Yose completed her Birth Worker training with Bebo Mia Inc when her daughter was only 3 months old. After the training she realized that she wanted to take a more ancestral approach in birth work, and began learning about Mexican Birth and Postpartum Traditions. She Is constantly growing and learning! As your Doula Yose will walk with you through pregnancy, birth and postpartum.

I'm Brazilian, and I'm a mom of two girls. My cultural Background and my daughter's birth experiences are deeply connected to my decision to become a doula. Growing up, I used to listen to my mother's birth stories, which helped me see childbirth as a grand and beautiful event. For me, the idea of giving birth was always sacred - but it was through the births of my two daughters that I truly understood what it means to give birth. After my second birth, I knew I wanted to become the kind of support person who had been essential to me during my own experience. In 2021 I began walking the path to become a Doula.

As a first-time mother in a new country, I was looking for a doula who could guide me through the birth process with understanding and care. Sitra provided just that. From our initial meetings, she made sure I felt comfortable and informed about my options, and during labor, her calm and professional presence was exactly what I needed. She was attentive to my needs, advocating for me and ensuring that I felt safe at every step. After the birth, Sitra also offered helpful support with breastfeeding, giving me the confidence I needed as I adjusted to life with my newborn. I’m very grateful for her guidance and would recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, skilled doula.

Hello, and Welcome! I’m Valerie Lynn, a certified postpartum doula and certified in holistic postpartum recovery practices specializing in providing comprehensive night and day support to families as they transition into parenthood. With over 20 years of experience in Southeast Asia, I bring the wisdom of Eastern postpartum recovery practices directly to your home. Night Support I provide specialized night support focused on nurturing baby care and sleep conditioning. My goal is to empower parents to recognize when their baby is ready to self-soothe, fostering independent sleep habits that help your baby achieve 8 to 10 hours of restful sleep by three months. For mothers, I offer calming lactation support to ensure that night feeds are smooth and restful, promoting a more peaceful night's sleep for everyone. Day Support My day support combines expert baby care, lactation assistance, and holistic recovery services for mothers. These services are tailored to support both vaginal and cesarean births, helping to accelerate recovery. • For Vaginal and Cesarean Births: My holistic postpartum services include soothing body massage to reduce fluid retention in the abdomen, reset the nervous system, balance postpartum hormones, and improve breast milk production. I also offer specialized abdominal wrapping and nutritious meal preparation. • You can wrap after Cesarean Births: I use a unique abdominal wrap that protects your incision while encouraging fluid release and comfort. My clients love the gentle support it provides. Combination of Night and Day Support For the ultimate in care, you can combine night and day support. This approach ensures you get the rest you need while accelerating your recovery by up to 40% faster than typical U.S. standards. Prenatal Services Our holistic care can begin during pregnancy to alleviate common discomforts such as back pain, joint aches, and swelling caused by fluid retention. Through targeted treatments, we help you feel more comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy journey. Postpartum Emotions I understand firsthand how overwhelming postpartum emotions can be. After the birth of my son 17 years ago, I faced postpartum anxiety and OCD. Through a combination of holistic recovery services and in-home support services, I found my way back to balance. For over 15 years, I've been the International Coordinator for Southeast Asia with Postpartum Support International, and I am deeply committed to helping others through their own postpartum journeys with empathy, understanding, and care. You don’t have to face this alone—I’m here to support you every step of the way. My Approach and Background With two decades in Southeast Asia, I am extensively trained in Eastern postpartum recovery treatments. Together, we’ll create a personalized postpartum plan that aligns with your expectations and needs. My holistic body care services include feminine-focused treatments, such as massage, womb repositioning, abdominal wrapping, feminine wash and herbal baths. I also offer unique products from Southeast Asia that are exclusively available to my clients. Mother’s Recovery from Pregnancy and Birth Your healing journey is unique, and while you may not need every holistic service or product I offer, they are always available to you as your recovery unfolds. Think of them as essential tools in your toolbox — ready to support you whenever you need them. Additional Services • Breastfeeding support, baby massage, babywearing, and sleep conditioning. • Virtual recovery coaching, complete with herbal product care sets, usage charts, and instructional videos. • I am the author of two postpartum recovery books, including a cookbook. I provide meal preparation services to support your nutritional needs.

Valerie is so kind and thoughtful. I really appreciated my time with Valerie and her services were great! Being 6 weeks postpartum and taking care of a newborn, she was great at working around my schedule. Having Valerie was a way to not only focus on my postpartum recovery but also mentally recovery as well. Her wraps really helped me shed some water weight and made my stomach feel so much better after my c-section. Valerie is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed.
