Hello there! My name is Sharon Jensen-Cody, and I'm thrilled to connect with you here. In my world, I share my life with my wonderful husband and our 2 kids who fill our days with joy and surprises. My journey into the world of birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for pregnancy and childbirth that took hold of me at a young age. The pivotal moment came when I witnessed my sister giving birth when I was just 17. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me. My mission as a DONA trained Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health and providing unwavering support to women as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys. I am here to walk alongside you, offering mental, emotional, and physical guidance to make your birth journey a truly empowering and memorable one. I am also a certified pediatric sleep consultant, passionate about teaching families how to gain restorative sleep with their little ones. I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your birth story and helping you navigate this extraordinary time in your life.

Working with Sharon was one of the most reassuring parts of our entire birth experience. From the very beginning, her communication style put us at ease. She paid close attention to the details of our birth plan and made sure our preferences were understood and respected throughout the process. One thing we especially appreciated was her flexibility around when to join us at the hospital. She checked in often, helped us navigate the early stages from afar, and arrived right when we entered active labor. From that moment on, her presence made a noticeable difference. She helped lower our stress, and we trusted her implicitly in how she advocated for us with the nursing staff. Her strong rapport with the team at Woodland Hills Kaiser Permanente made everything feel that much smoother. Sharon’s depth of experience came through in every interaction. She was calm when we needed calm, confident when we needed guidance, and always focused on making sure we felt supported. We’re incredibly grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is both highly skilled and genuinely compassionate. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Mary and Lotus Doula Tribe. Having her by my side through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum was honestly a God send. Even though I ultimately needed a C-section, she still showed up for me in more ways than I can count. Her presence, support, love and wisdom were monumental in my recovery, and I know we are so blessed to have had her by our side. She held space for me, reminded me of my strength, and helped me navigate decisions with confidence. Her calm, grounding energy was such a gift to our whole family. I’m endlessly grateful for her role in my journey and couldn’t imagine doing it without her. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares and will walk alongside you every step of the way, Mary is the one. 💛

As a postpartum doula, I am part of your village! I am a mom too!I know how overwhelmed I felt at the idea of bringing a newborn home, recovering from birth, and trying to breastfeed. Since the birth of my daughter, I have worked with many families, helping them thrive during the early postpartum period.

Recent review

Let me just say—it was truly a blessing to have found Reihaneh (Rey) Hadipour to support us on our newborn journey. From day one, she was an incredible help, especially for a first-time mom. Whether it was guiding us through different feeding positions, showing us how to bathe the baby, gently clipping those delicate little nails, or offering countless other thoughtful services, Rey brought both care and confidence to every moment. She comes with a wealth of experience and is truly a compassionate, skilled professional. We’re so grateful for her support during such a special and tender time in our lives

As a first-time mom without family nearby, I was overwhelmed, but Cooings made my postpartum journey smooth, supported, and even joyful. They matched me with an amazing postpartum doula who took care of both me and my baby with profession, warmth, and deep cultural understanding. From breastfeeding support to postpartum meals, emotional care, and even helping me sleep better, the service was above and beyond. I loved that everything was organized, timely, and truly focused on what mothers need.

Sarah began her journey into postpartum doula practice in 2015 through Birth Arts International and has since continued her education, becoming certified in Infant/Adult CPR and as a baby-wearing technician. She regularly attends workshops to ensure that she provides her clients with the most current and comprehensive support available. Growing up with a brother who has a non-verbal disability, Sarah learned from an early age to intuitively read and respond to unspoken needs. Witnessing her mother's nurturing care and trusting her own instincts have shaped Sarah's approach to providing compassionate, intuitive support to families, especially those who may struggle to express their needs. Her passion for newborn care, sparked by her personal experience as a mother of two, drives her work. Sarah offers services ranging from breastfeeding support to establishing sleep routines, helping parents feel confident and empowered in their journey with a new baby. The "village" of support she had after her children's births inspired her to offer others the same level of care and guidance. Outside of her work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family & friends, playing with the family dogs, being outdoors, cooking, and traveling.

My role as a postpartum doula is immensely rewarding, allowing me to support and nurture families as they transition into parenthood. I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of families, including those with newborns, twins, and infants with special needs, and I maintain lasting relationships with many of them. I am recognized for my confidence, professionalism, and rapid learning ability. My strong multitasking skills and positive mindset enable me to create a healthy and supportive environment for families during their transition. Given my extensive experience and dedication, I am confident that I would be a valuable addition to your establishment. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how my skills and experience align with your needs.

Brigette was a lifesaver. She is truly a baby whisperer and can calm any baby. My baby was very fussy with horrible colic and many night nannys quit but she was patient and sweet and could get my baby to be calm and sleep. She is very responsible, trustworthy, patient and kind. She is also intelligent and a quick learner. Brigette has a calm, quiet way about her. If she is available, definitely book her!

Hello! I’m Joselyn, a proud mom who chose home births for my two little ones. Let's look back at my life before motherhood when the idea of childbirth intimidated me more than anything, thanks to all those stories and dramatic TV shows with women screaming their heads off in the delivery room. When I became pregnant with my daughter back in 2020, I dove into research, preparing my mind, body, and spirit for a positive birth—but I completely overlooked planning for postpartum and felt quite overwhelmed. Wanting to enhance my skills, I completed a 112-hour training with Bebo Mia Inc. and became certified with Pro Doula to become a full-spectrum doula. My journey also led me to explore the rich traditions of Mexican indigenous birth and postpartum practices, allowing me to honor my heritage while expanding my knowledge.

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.

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.

My journey began with a simple desire — to support women as they step into the transformative journey that is motherhood. I recognize that every mother's path is unique, with its own challenges and triumphs. I'm here to ensure that every step you take is met with understanding, knowledge, and unwavering support. Every mother's voice deserves to be heard, her choices respected, and her experiences validated. As an experienced birth and postpartum doula, I have seen the profound difference personalized care can make, and I strive to create an environment where you feel seen, understood, and empowered. You are the heart of this journey. They say it takes a village to raise a child. I would be honored to be part of yours!

Debra was very supportive and the best doula I could asked for. She was there when I gave birth to my first daughter, she made me feel heard and understood I would recommend her to anyone that needs a doula because she does above and beyond. In fact when I choose to have another baby I’ll make sure to contact her again to be my doula
