Hello! My name is Sabrina Powers. I am an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Postpartum Doula, and Certified Educator of Infant Massage (CEIM), as well as a mom of three. I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support to help you meet your individual feeding goals—whether that includes breastfeeding, pumping, bottle feeding, or a combination. During in-home lactation consultations, I bring a medical-grade infant scale so we can complete a weighted feed when appropriate to assess milk transfer. I can also help with latch and positioning, pumping concerns, flange sizing and fitting, milk supply concerns, paced bottle feeding, and more. As a Certified Educator of Infant Massage, I can also teach parents gentle, parent-led infant massage techniques to support bonding and connection with their baby. Every family and feeding journey is different, and my goal is to help you feel supported, informed, and confident in the choices that work best for you and your baby.

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.

My name is Julie and I am an RN and a certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). I have been a Labor & Delivery/ postpartum RN for 15 years and I currently work for UCLA medical center. I am able to provide service of prenatal lactation consultation and postpartum breastfeeding support.

Hello! I am a Postpartum RN and board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) with a passion for supporting families during the early days of life with a newborn. My over 25 years of experience in maternal-infant care has given me the clinical knowledge to guide parents through recovery from birth, newborn care, and feeding challenges. I provide compassionate and personalized care in the comfort of your own home. My goal is to empower each family with confidence, practical skills, and reassurance so you may feel supported, informed and connected during the adjustment to parenthood. When appropriate, I will collaborate with or contact your pediatrician, OB, or other healthcare providers to ensure continuity of care and to support safe, comprehensive care.

With years of experience as a midwife and birth professional, I support families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with a holistic, grounded approach that honors both physiology and personal choice. Whether you are planning a home birth, hospital birth, birth center delivery, medicated or unmedicated experience, my role is to help you feel fully prepared — physically, emotionally, and mentally — for the birth you desire. My pregnancy bodywork sessions are designed to support optimal fetal positioning, pelvic balance, and nervous system regulation. When the body is aligned and tension patterns are released, babies can settle into ideal positions and labor often unfolds more smoothly. A regulated nervous system allows you to feel safer, more present, and more empowered — which can significantly impact both birth and postpartum recovery. In addition to hands-on bodywork, I offer comprehensive childbirth education that prepares you for the realities of labor, informed decision-making, partner support, and postpartum recovery. My goal is not to push a specific birth path, but to equip you with knowledge, confidence, and tools so you can navigate your experience feeling supported and in control. I bring both clinical insight and steady presence. I understand the nuances of hospital systems and home birth environments, and I help families advocate for themselves while staying connected to their intuition. Birth is a rite of passage — and preparation matters. When your body is balanced, your nervous system is regulated, and your mind is informed, you enter birth grounded and ready. It is an honor to walk alongside families as they prepare to welcome their babies and step into parenthood with confidence.

I believe with every conviction that mothers hold innate wisdom to birth their babies. , I honor your intuition through holistic care and embodied practice—supporting you through pregnancy, birth, and the sacred postpartum transition. As your Sister in Christ, I offer faith-based birth support for those wanting so. We approach your labor as an act of worship—leaning on prayer and rejoicing to reveal God's strength and love for you. I am a community-first birthworker, passionate about making holistic wellness, coaching, and education accessible to women in my community. My work blends embodied childbirth education and hands-on support across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a Birthing From Within–trained mentor, I offer education that goes far beyond information—our work honors the inner journey, emotional landscape, and transformation that birth invites. Alongside this, I provide holistic, nurturing care including herbal remedies, gentle bodywork, mindful movement, breathwork, and food as medicine—supporting the body’s natural physiology while tending to the nervous system and spirit. My Philosophy: Honoring the MotherBaby Dyad I intimately understand and uphold the crucial MotherBaby bond and believe in family-oriented care that follows natural instincts. This belief shapes every facet of my postpartum support and education: Attachment Parenting: I educate and support families in honoring bonding practices such as exclusive breastfeeding, safe bed-sharing/co-sleeping, elimination communication, and babywearing. Holistic Recovery: I offer nourishing, restorative care in the first 40 days, drawing from my training as a Postpartum Practitioner mentored by Pilar Chandler, Doctor of Ayurveda for Women’s Health. Lactation Philosophy: The Power of Human Milk I am deeply committed to the evidence supporting human milk as the optimal standard for infant nutrition. While I support all feeding choices with heart, my philosophy is rooted in the conviction that exclusive breastfeeding provides unparalleled protection and nourishment. This is not just "good"; scientific consensus confirms that breast is best for both maternal and infant health outcomes.
