Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in San Gabriel, CA

My mother was a Lamaze instructor who taught childbirth classes in our home, surrounding me with the language, rhythm, and wonder of pregnancy and birth from an early age. As the eldest of four siblings and 16 grandchildren, I grew up surrounded by babies, witnessing the magic of new life, and developing a deep-rooted sense of awe and normalcy around the birthing process. The births of my own children lit a spark in me, and that spark grew into a calling. I became a doula and gained extensive experience supporting families birthing in homes, birth centers, and hospitals across Los Angeles. Over time, my passion for this sacred work deepened, and I felt the undeniable pull to expand my knowledge and commitment to birthing families by becoming a midwife. Through years of study, apprenticeship, and dedication, I graduated from the National Midwifery Institute. I am a Licensed Midwife (LM) with the Medical Board of California and Certified Professional Midwife (CPM) with the North American Registry of Midwives. I carry certifications in neonatal resuscitation, CPR, and Basic Life Support (BLS) and have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families on their birthing journey's. Becoming a midwife has been one of the greatest honors of my life— and I carry every story, every family, and every birth with gratitude and reverence.

Hello, my name is Anna, and I am a birth & labor doula based in Los Angeles. Three years ago, a friend invited me to her home birth & I was skeptical, since I knew nothing about birth. Yet, it was such a transformational experience, as I had the privilege of supporting her through labor and saw the miracle of a baby entering the world. It changed my life! I love what I get to do, supporting families in vulnerable times, advocating for them, and creating an environment of safety and love. While I got my start at a home birth, I am happy to assist you in a hospital setting, birth center, or at home, since I believe you birth best wherever you feel most comfortable! I also do Bengkung bellybinding & placenta encapsulation to support the postpartum period.

I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives. My path began after chiropractic school, inspired by my mom who has also been a doula for many years. Birth work feels like a natural extension of who I am..

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 have supported families in a variety of Birth settings, giving me insight into holistic and medical support strategies. With a focus on prenatal care, holistic practices, advocacy, and evidence-based knowledge, I hope to empower my clients with the tools and support they need to navigate labor and birth confidently. Whether it's your first birth or one of many, it is my mission to create a safe, nurturing environment that lays the foundation for a positive and empowering birth experience.
