Midwife, Lactation consultant specializing in postpartum care.

Hi, I’m Kiley! I’m a Los Angeles based birth and postpartum doula, preconception coach, birth photographer and mother. With an extensive background spanning over a decade in healthcare, with a specific focus on women's health, family building and conception, paired with years immersed in the study of birth, my journey has evolved into a passionate exploration of the entire process from preconception to postpartum. Throughout my tenure, I experienced a profound paradigm shift, recognizing that there’s infinitely more to wellbeing than just the physiological aspects, prompting an exploration at a deeper level. This moment also ignited a connection to the initiation of childbirth and an enhanced reverence for the inherent strength within every woman. I perceive each birth as a sacred ceremony A powerful rite of passage that connects you to the cosmic forces of creation. I believe in bringing intention and presence to every phase of this journey, honoring that consciousness in preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum looks different for each individual. My work is about creating a dynamic in which you can discover what that means for you, so that are you well held, in full alignment with self.

Hi, I’m Iliana! I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Los Angeles, and at my core, I’m a student of life. I believe in curiosity, imagination, and the strength of humanity. We’ve made it this far by showing up for one another, especially during life’s most vulnerable transitions, and that belief sits at the foundation of how I approach this work. Before becoming a doula, I spent years working in film and visual storytelling. That background deeply shapes how I support families. It taught me how to read a room, stay grounded under pressure, notice subtle shifts, and honor someone’s story without trying to control it. Birth is not so different. It’s unscripted, intimate, and deeply human. My role is to be present, observant, and steady, allowing your experience to unfold in its own way. In both birth and postpartum, my focus is connection. Connection to your body, your baby, and the people supporting you. I support all kinds of births, whether hospital or home, unmedicated or with an epidural. There is no one right way. I aim to demystify the physiology of birth so the unknown feels less intimidating, while also helping you feel more at home in your body. If you have a partner, I help you move as a team, offering tools for communication, grounding, and nervous system regulation. I strive to be a calming presence you can orient toward if things feel overwhelming. Postpartum, that support continues as you settle into life with your baby and find your rhythm. I’m here to support your story with care, curiosity, and deep respect for how human this season is. :)

Hello, My name is Melanie, and I have been proudly supporting my community as a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a lactation counselor, for over 10 years. As a birth doula, my primary concern is to ensure you are informed of your options at all times and feel safe in your birth space. I enjoy working collaboratively with care teams and focus my efforts on achieving your goals for birth. It’s important to me to get to know you and your partner well, understanding your expectations of birth, each other, and me as your doula. My postpartum practice centers on the care of new mothers through nutrition support, postpartum bodywork (including massage, abdominal binding, and warming practices), lactation and feeding support, newborn education, and practical household assistance, including sibling and partner support. Please reach out for a complimentary consultation. I look forward to connecting with you! Warm regards, Melanie

Hi, I'm Alison! It wasn’t until I cared for my nephew for 2 years that I realized the significant impact a doula can bring by supporting new parents as well as the whole family. I have always been passionate about the importance of creating supportive and nurturing spaces. I am also a musical artist and have been singing since I was a child. Using my voice to help others is very fulfilling and I believe it can be a powerful tool for healing. Being in the outdoors and with animals as well as dancing are few of my interests. I am a trained and certified birth and postpartum doula through Keely Semler, MPH, CD. I am also a trained postpartum doula through DONA International, am working towards DONA certification and am CPR/First Aid certified. My pronouns are she/her.

As a full-spectrum doula with eight years of experience working with newborns and supporting families, I am deeply committed to empowering parents during one of the most transformative times of their lives. As a devoted mother to my four-year-old, who had an amazing home birth experience with a supportive birth team, I understand firsthand the joys and challenges of parenthood, and I bring that empathy into my work. Currently pursuing my studies in midwifery, I am dedicated to expanding my skills to offer even greater support to families. I also have a passion for fitness and nutrition, and I love helping prenatal and postpartum mothers prioritize their wellness, recognizing that a healthy body and mind contribute to a positive parenting experience. My philosophy centers on creating a nurturing, nonjudgmental space where families feel seen, supported, and equipped to thrive in their unique journeys.

Hello! My name is Kennedy, and I would be honored to offer my services to you as a birth doula OR an overnight post partum doula/newborn care specialist! My philosophy is that judgement and restriction has no place in birth work. I'm not here to tell you what to do or turn my nose up at you for what you choose not to do. I'm here to support your decisions, let you know the pros and cons, and teach you how to trust your intuition when it comes to your baby and your body. My number one goal is to always provide a safe space for you and your family as you navigate the messy beauty that is birth and postpartum. I cannot wait to hear from you and I wish you the best of luck in your search to find the perfect fit for you and your tribe!

Hi 👋🏼 I am a postpartum doula, meeting families where they are at. I assist with preparing meals, light housework, baby care, lactation support, bottle feeding support, and providing resources. I am a mother of two myself and love empowering parents in such a special time. I work day shifts, late nights and overnights.

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and have been a doula for over a decade in the Los Angeles area. I accept Medicaid/Medi-Cal and am carrot approved and in their directory of doulas. I am passionate about bringing intuitive and compassionate doula care to every person and family that feels they would benefit from the support of a doula before during or after pregnancy and labor. I believe in the power of setting intentions for the birthing journey and choosing your support is an important and empowering step. Warmest regards, Mara

I’m Jen Ballew, a birth and postpartum practitioner with over a decade of experience supporting families through the sacred threshold of bringing new life into the world. I believe birth is not just a physical event—it’s a profound rite of passage that deserves reverence, preparation, and care. My work blends somatic wisdom, trauma-informed support, and a deep respect for each family’s unique path. I guide parents in reconnecting with their inner knowing, understanding their options, and approaching both birth and postpartum with clarity, confidence, and trust. As the founder of The Parenthood Project, I’ve created a holistic framework that weaves together evidence-based education, nervous system regulation, and community-centered care. My postpartum support is especially focused on helping parents recover in body and spirit, adjust to new rhythms, and feel truly nurtured in the early weeks and months after birth. From emotional processing and newborn care guidance to sleep support and somatic healing practices, I hold space for the full spectrum of this tender transition. You don’t have to do this alone—this journey is meant to be witnessed, honored, and held.

I'm a Los Angeles birth/postpartum doula, Certified lactation counselor and a belly binding specialist. I believe that birth is sacred making it one of the most vulnerable times in our life, my duty is to protect that. I'm the birth coach guiding you, helping you understand the physiological process of birth, your birth rights and helping you through postpartum. Being a mom of two helps me understand deeper what someone may need during these times. My philosophy is "hold the mother so she can then hold her baby".

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.

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 provide tailor made nanny, NCS and doula services. I am also approved by Carrot registry so I could help carrot beneficiary go through Carrot reimbursement. I have been in this business for 13 years. I am a DONA International Certified Postpartum Doula and Certified Birth Doula for 7 years, provided services to different American families. I am also a Certified Lactation Counselor with 13 years experiences, provided services to more than 1000 families, helping them solve their breast and lactation problems, and achieve all kinds of breastfeeding goals. I am also a California Certified massage therapist so I could provide lactation services with massage which could solve problems that counseling won’t achieve. I could also give excellent postpartum recovery massage services, helping postpartum moms heal faster; and infant massage services to help newborns sleep better, relieve gas better and burp better, which could provide in-depth services through my extended services. In a word, I could make both mom and baby live a much better life. If you are interested please call me by 1-626-295-3727

Hello, I’m Chris Hinkley. I’ve been married for 40 years, and I’m the proud mom of three grown sons and a grandma to one sweet grandson. Family has always been at the center of my life, and it’s what inspired me to dedicate my work to supporting new parents. As a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist, I love coming alongside families during those tender first months. My heart is to help you feel rested, supported, and confident as you learn to care for your little one. I combine practical newborn care and healthy sleep foundations with gentle encouragement—because I believe parents thrive best when they feel both capable and cared for. Every family is unique, and I tailor my approach to your needs and values. Whether you need help with feedings, sleep routines, or just a calm presence in your home, I’m here to make the transition smoother. My greatest joy is watching parents grow in confidence, knowing they can not only get through the newborn stage—but truly enjoy it.

My name is Sandra Luz Alvarado and I am a postpartum doula and a Newborn Care Specialist. I was born in El Salvador and came to California 35 years ago. I am a wife (I have been with my husband almost 30 years!) and a mother to 5 beautiful children, including my youngest, who is three years old. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a graphic designer, elder care provider, and nanny. Some years back I decided to become a postpartum doula. I was interested in expanding my knowledge about infants, while supporting new mothers at the same time. I love spending time with families during this early part of life--helping them to have a smooth adjustment and close bond with their newborn. I am also trained to support women during labor and birth. My birth and postpartum doula trainings are through DONA International. My continuing education includes: childbirth education training, breastfeeding education training, and CPR/First Aid Certification. I love working with new parents and giving them all the information and skills they need to be successful and confident parents. It's such a pleasure seeing my client families blossom in the postpartum period. It would be an honor and pleasure to support you in your own parenting journey!

I come from a family of birth workers and OTs —so supporting people through this part of life has always felt familiar and important to me. Over time, I realized how much I care about helping people feel empowered and heard, especially during birth, when they need it most. I believe in practical, down-to-earth support that combines knowledge, empathy, and a warm presence (plus a little humor when it’s needed). I try to meet each person where they are and support the kind of birth they want—whether that’s quiet and private or full of conversation and teamwork. To me, birth is a shared experience, but the birthing person is always at the center. I see my role as making sure they feel respected, cared for, and in charge of their experience.

Helping family during postpartum is my second calling in life; massage therapy was first. I am naturally drawn to bring holistic care to family in this new journey, or a continuation of life and transitions.
