Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Redondo Beach, CA

I have worked as a baby nurse for over 25 years and I enjoy helping new parents make the transition into parenthood, by teaching them how to care for the new addition to their family. I have the knowledge and training needed to educate new parents on how to care for their newborn by teaching them how to feed, bath and put babies down for naptime. I can help parents organize the nursery to make things more convenient and easier to handle. I am highly trained to take care of twins or even triplets, so parents with multiple newborns are not so overwhelmed and stressed. Even parents who already have children at home can use the extra help, so they have time to take care of their other children.

I'm a New Yorker of Caribbean descent, a tomboy at heart who loves hard, plays sports, and is creative. A former educator, I see pregnancy as sacred community work and my clients as family. My doula philosophy is rooted in radical presence, cultural humility, and Christ-centered service. I believe every birth deserves advocacy, informed choice, and a warm village wrapped around it. My intention is to create a safe, judgment-free space where families feel seen, heard, and held in their full stories, whether in joy, grief, or the in-between. I try to live out the Acts-church model, showing up, sharing life, and walking alongside families as I follow God's divine direction while continually learning and growing. I've been a doula for about five years and am now on my journey to become a midwife, carrying that same heart of service into clinical care. Serving the community is my daily bread; I get to serve God's children with my hands, my skills, and my presence, and that is what truly gives me life.

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.
