Hi there! My name is Bri and I am a Full Spectrum Doula located in the Los Angeles area. It's my goal to help you prepare for the birth you envision and to set you up for success during your postpartum period. I offer additional services such as childbirth education, placenta encapsulation, support during miscarriage and termination, and much more. I birthed my little one during the summer of 2021 at home (doula and midwife in attendance), which is what ultimately led me to doula work. When I'm not visiting with clients or at a birth, I run a natural skin care business and do some nutritional consulting. I love to cook and read, but I'm mostly enjoying motherhood in my free time.

My Story I am New York native, living in Los Angeles now for the last 15 years. I am a proud mom to my 6 six boys (age 5 to 21) so for a long time I was either pregnant or breastfeeding. Each baby breastfed for a different duration of time depending on what was going on in my life then and I enjoyed every minute of it. As my boys grew older I was on the search for a new career so I started searching. After exploring various career options, and helping some new mom friends along the way I set my eyes on becoming a Lactation Consultant. This profession combines my passions for babies, breastfeeding and helping others. I so enjoyed my breastfeeding experiences with my babies and wished the same for all moms. So, in my 30's and mom of 5 at the time, I returned to school. After completing my prerequisites, I joined the LC program at UCSD and finally became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2019. ​

Hey hey! I’m Dairian. I've been an occupational therapist (OT) since 2013 and a lactation consultant (IBCLC) since 2021. Maternal health and infant health are intricately linked, and my mission is to provide comprehensive support that acknowledges this connection. I pursued additional training as a postpartum doula to complement my OT background. I specialize in lactation, infant feeding, and infant development. Within this, I typically address concerns like tongue ties and bottle refusal and offer manual therapy/bodywork such as craniosacral therapy and myofascial release.

Lana is the best! She has been my lactation consultant since 2 weeks post partum and continues to offer support as I am about to return to work. She is very knowledgeable and patient. She sends notes after each visit and is always caring and open to adapting our feeding plan. I highly recommend Lana.

Exceptional Support Throughout Our Birthing Journey! I can’t express enough how grateful my partner and I are for having Raquel as our Birth Doula. From the moment we met, she radiated warmth and confidence. Her expertise and unwavering support truly made all the difference in our birthing experience. Her calming presence during labor was exactly what we needed. Raquel provided continuous encouragement and guided us through various comfort measures. She ensured that our birth plan was respected and advocated for our choices, which was incredibly reassuring. Moreover, her knowledge of childbirth was evident at every step. Raquel answered our questions, offered valuable insights, and created a peaceful atmosphere in the delivery room. She was not just a doula but also a source of strength for both of us. Thanks to Raquel, we welcomed our little one into the world feeling empowered and supported. I wholeheartedly recommend her services to any expectant parents looking for an exceptional Birth Doula. She is a true gem in this field.

Hi everyone, Natalie here! I am a pre and postnatal birth doula tending to the LA and OC areas. I am currently a stay at home mom who loves all things birth related. I have had the honor of birthing both my babies at home in the birthing pool. No words could describe the magical experiences I encountered. These natural births kick started my passion for birth work. I am eager to work with families that trust the design of the female body. Our beautiful design, which encourages birth, simply amazes me. We truly are a work of art! Not only are we beautiful, but we are powerful. I believe we need to be surrounded by people who remind us of our worth and our strength. I would love to help encourage you and remind you that you can do this! I believe in you wholeheartedly. Allow me to assist you in achieving the birth of your dreams.

Cindy was our postpartum doula after the birth of our first child and having her support was amazing! Cindy provided overnight care for our son and supported me in my recovery as well. She provided so much guidance and support as we navigated all that comes with being a new parent! We are forever grateful for her care.
