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.

Gia was such a grounding presence throughout my pregnancy and birth. She really listened to what I wanted and made me feel supported the whole way through. From our prenatal visits to labor support, I felt like I had someone in my corner who truly cared. So grateful for her!

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.

Responds within a few hours Accepts insurance

Hello! I’m Nora, an experienced Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula with over 35 years of professional childcare experience, including 26 years specializing in newborn care. My journey began in 1991 as a professional nanny caring for children of different ages. In 2000, a dear friend introduced me to the wonderful world of overnight newborn care, and I quickly discovered my true passion. I completed my Postpartum Doula training in 2005 and continued my professional education in newborn care in 2007. Throughout the years, I’ve expanded my knowledge through additional training in lactation education, infant sleep shaping, and age-appropriate sleep training. One of the most meaningful experiences of my career began in 2006, when I was hired to care for newborn twins. What started as an overnight position developed into a wonderful nine-year relationship with their family. During those years, two more babies joined the family, and I had the privilege of helping establish healthy sleep routines for each of them. Years later, another family welcomed me into their home to care for their twins. Once again, what began as newborn care turned into a five-year commitment. Throughout these long-term positions, I continued supporting other families with overnight newborn care, allowing me to stay actively involved in the work I love most. My areas of experience and specialty include: * Overnight newborn care and postpartum support * Twins, triplets, and multiples care * Premature infants and NICU-to-home transitions * Breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and lactation education support * Reflux, gas, and feeding challenges * Gentle newborn sleep shaping and healthy sleep foundations * Age-appropriate infant sleep training and independent sleep guidance * Parent education and individualized newborn routines My approach to sleep begins with gentle, responsive routines during the early newborn weeks. As babies grow and become developmentally ready, I help families gradually establish healthy sleep habits and work toward more independent sleep. I believe every baby is unique, and every family deserves care that respects their parenting preferences, values, and individual needs. I am CPR/First Aid certified, professionally insured, bilingual in English and Spanish, and a registered Carrot provider. For me, newborn care is much more than a profession. It’s a passion that has allowed me to build meaningful relationships with families and support them through some of the most beautiful and challenging moments of parenthood. My greatest reward is knowing that parents can rest peacefully while their little ones are receiving attentive, nurturing, and experienced care. I would be honored to be part of your family’s journey! ❤️

Nora is truly a gift for any family to have! Nora is extremely reliable, trustworthy, experienced and hard working. She adapts well to different households and parenting styles, communicates well and creates a plan to uniquely support your families needs. She’s very natural and knowledgeable with newborns while providing confidence and support to parents. She was our saving grace supporting us during a time of need with newborn challenges like reflux, tongue tie, traveling internationally and sleep training.

Hi! My name is Stephanie and I am a Birth Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Birth Story Listener. I felt called to work with birth as a young adult, and love helping folks prepare for and navigate their birth journeys, as well as their relationship to their birth stories. My goal is to help birthing people find an empowered way through whatever comes up for them, and for them to feel supported and seen throughout the process. I also enjoy homeschooling my kids, teaching theater classes, singing in my community choir, and working for a local organic farm at the farmers market in Claremont!

I worked with Stephanie prenatally, during labor/delivery, and postpartum too. She was wonderful to work with, a great listener, guided me and my husband well through what we could expect with having our first child, supported me through my various anxieties, and really showed up for us during labor. She was a vital advocate for me while I was at the hospital. She is knowledgable about Spinning Babies (and has received their training), did a visualization exercise with my husband and I in thinking about the unknowns of parenthood and embracing all that was to come, and she was ready and prepared to support us when she came to the hospital. She supported me emotionally and physically through early labor and all the various interventions that became necessary because I was not dilating and my labor was not progressing. Loved working with Stephanie and would recommend her to anyone for support during the birth or new mom phase of life.

There are moments in life that transform us forever..... Over the years, my journey has taken me through extraordinary experiences—from a career in performing arts to adventures around the world, to motherhood, profound loss, rebuilding, and discovering the many ways love can shape a life. Each chapter taught me something different.... To stay calm when life is uncertain. To trust intuition. To embrace adaptability when plans change. To meet people with curiosity rather than judgment. To understand that every person carries a story we don't always see. Those experiences didn't just shape who I became; they shaped how I care for others, especially in my role as a birth doula. My focus is on providing comprehensive birth support—it's not about taking over your birth, but walking beside you, creating a space where you feel safe, deeply supported, and completely seen. I aim to bring a grounded presence when emotions feel overwhelming, a joyful heart when celebration fills the room, and exceptional care through every detail of your journey, including essential prenatal education. Birth is far more than welcoming a baby. It marks the beginning of a new family, a new identity, and the most extraordinary transition. It is an honor to be invited into that space. My promise is simple. To meet your journey with presence, compassion, discretion, and wholehearted care—so that you can be fully present for one of the most meaningful days of your life.

EM BLENDS HOLISTIC MODALITIES, ANCESTRAL NOURISHMENT, INTUITIVE CARE AND EVIDENCE-BASED SUPPORT. SHE BELIEVES THAT BIRTH AND THE TRANSITION INTO MOTHERHOD ARE BOTH PHYSIOLOGICAL AND SACRED, A RITE OF PASSAGE DESERVING REVERENCE AND FLOW, NOT INTERVENTION OR DISRUPTION. HER APPROACH REACHES DEEP WITHIN THE BONES OF THOSE SHE SUPPORTS, REMINDING MOTHERS OF THE INNATE WISDOM THAT ALREADY LIVES WITHIN THEM AND HELPING THEM RECONNECT TO THE ROOTS OF ALL WHO HAVE COME BEFORE THEM, WHILE TRUSTING THEIR OWN PRIMAL INSTINCTS. HER PATH INTO THIS WORK UNFOLDED NATURALLY, SOMETHING SHE OFTEN DESCRIBES AS FATED. BORN FROM HER OWN MOTHER'S CHALLENGING BIRTH EXPERIENCE AND THE LASTING IMPACT IT HAD ON THEM BOTH, SHE GREW UP WITH AN INNER KNOWING THAT SHE WAS MEANT TO WALK A PATH OF ENCOURAGING A DIFFERENT STORY FOR OTHERS. THOUGH SHE CARRIES THE TRUTH OF DUALITY WITH HER, FINDING MEANING IN THE REFLECTION THAT HAD HER MOTHER'S STORY BEEN DIFFERENT, SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE FELT HER DESTINY CALLING, DEVELOPING THE PASSION THAT FEELS AS THOUGH IT RUNS THROUGH HER VEINS, TODAY. SHE SUPPORTS BIRTH AND THE FOURTH TRIMESTER SAFELY AND INTUITIVELY, ALLOWING IT TO UNFOLD ORGANICALLY, SHE'LL SIT WITH AND HOLD YOU IN THE BEAUTIFUL MESSINESS, MATCHING THE ENERGY NEEDED FOR EACH MOTHER'S UNIQUE EXPERIENCE. A WOMAN OF ATTENTION AND INTENTION - HER SUPERPOWER IS BEING IN SERVICE TO OTHERS. REWILDING BOTH BIRTH AND LIFE, GROUNDED AND DEEPLY ATTUNED -EM CREATES SAFE, NURTURING SPACES WHERE MOTHERS AND BABES CAN COME THROUGH THE PORTAL OF BIRTH AND RECOVER WITH DEEP CARE AND FATHERS CAN RISE IN THEIR POWER TO SUPPORT. SUPPORTING IN HOSPITAL, HOME BIRTH OR BIRTH CENTERS, SHE HOLDS AND PROTECTS THE PRECIOUS, INTIMATE AND VULNERABLE NEW SPACE FAMILIES ENTER TOGETHER. HER LIFE AND WORK ARE GUIDED BY THE SAME TRUTH-WHEN WE NURTURE OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, WE HEAL SOMETHING DEEPER WITHIN US ALL, SOMETHING THAT RIPPLES BOTH FORWARD AND BACKWARD THROUGH TIME.
