I cannot recommend Nicole enough if you are looking for postpartum doula support! Nicole started with us the second night we got home from the hospital with our first baby and worked with us for months after as we adjusted to our new normal. In addition to caring for our daughter overnight so we could get some much needed rest, she helped me with establishing a strong breastfeeding relationship, setting a pumping schedule, establishing a nighttime and morning routine for our daughter and provided hands-on instruction in how to generally care for a newborn. Nicole is such a wonderful, caring person. Our daughter loved her and she’s truly became part of our family. She strikes the perfect balance between sharing her expertise and following our lead as parents. She has a wealth of knowledge about breastfeeding and I credit her for how smooth my breastfeeding journey gone. In addition to quickly building a strong relationship with our daughter, she also cares for my husband and I and talks to us regularly about setting up systems so that we can make sure we are still taking care of ourselves and connecting as a couple. She really does support the entire family. I truly don't know how we would have survived those first months home without Nicole. If you work with her to help care for your family, you'll have a much richer parenting experience.

If you need sleep, just call them. They’re honestly the best!! Super friendly staff and they’ve been so accommodating whenever things came up. It’s hard to find someone to really trust to take care of my baby, but they are so reliable and professional. It made such a difference for my family. Highly recommend!

Hi there! I’m Jalisa Burton, co-founder of Divine Birthing Services and a proud Full Spectrum Doula and Certified Effective Black Parenting Educator. Supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and beyond is more than what I do — it’s who I am. For me, this work is a divine calling, one that allows me to help parents feel safe, respected, and deeply supported during one of life’s most powerful journeys. My approach is rooted in compassion, education, and empowerment. I believe every parent deserves to feel seen, heard, and cared for in a way that honors their values and choices. Whether it’s offering emotional reassurance, sharing evidence-based guidance, or simply holding space, my goal is always to create an environment where families can embrace birth with confidence and peace of mind. Before stepping into birthwork, I proudly served in the U.S. Coast Guard, where I learned the importance of service, resilience, and standing strong for others. Those same values now shape how I show up for families — with steady support, calm presence, and unwavering dedication. Beyond birthwork, I’m a wife and mom of three, which means I know firsthand the joys, challenges, and transformations that come with parenting. I love exploring new places, trying new cuisines, and making memories with my family. I’d be honored to walk this journey with you. Let’s connect and create a birthing experience that’s sacred, supported, and uniquely yours. 💫Reach out today — I can’t wait to meet you! 💫

Hi! I’m Arielle, a therapist-turned-doula focusing on parental empowerment, confidence building, and mental health. I attended my first birth 13 years ago and am grateful for the opportunity to continue supporting expanding families.

Recent review

I honestly can't recommend Arielle enough!! She always made me feel like my birth was about me and what I wanted, never what anyone else thought it should look like. She took the time to explain my options and answer every question and gave me the confidence to advocate for myself that I really needed lol. There were a few times my doctors recommended things that I probably would have just gone along with because I didn't know I had other options or that it was okay to ask more questions. Having her there to be able to call and txt whenever made such a difference. She helped me understand my choices without ever telling me what to do, so every decision still felt like it was mine. Because of her I was able to have the quick unmedicated birth that my doctor said probably wasn't going to happen!! She always met me where I was, worked at my pace, and supported me every step of the way! I'm so grateful she was part of my birth my experience would have not been the same without her! She even provided support for my husband in the delivery room and told him to hold my leg which in the moment he did not want to do and now it's a highlight for him hes so grateful she was there too! Amazing personality you'll want to be best friends with her no problem!! She is an PHENOMENAL mama herself too!

Jennifer Buonamassa, L.M., C.P.M.

7 years of experience

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 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.

Jennifer is an outstanding Midwife. Her dedication to caring for birthing families is without a doubt her passion and it shows through everything she does, she is beyond gifted. Her attention to detail, autonomy, expertise, and ability to communicate clearly make her unique in this field. She is highly skilled and quick on her toes when needed to be. She will ensure you are fully educated and prepared to give birth on every level - body, soul, and mind. Working with Jennifer as a Doula, I have seen her in many births, and her energy is calm, and serene but also a confident source of wisdom. I would highly recommend Jennifer for you birthing needs.

Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm a Birth and Postpartum Doula in Los Angeles. I am a Dona-trained certified birth doula, Trained Hypnobabies® Hypno-Doula, certified ayurvedic postpartum doula, and trained newborn care specialist in the LA area. I believe that every woman and mother deserves the support she wants and needs however that may look. I have over 12 years of experience in childcare in Switzerland and the U.S., and serve clients and English and German. I have focused my work in early childhood, and over five years specifically in newborn care and as a doula. I have always been drawn to holistic healing and the power of the human mind and body. I love cooking anything from pasta to kitchari, believe in the healing power of meditation and breath work and value a balanced approach of traditional and alternative medicine. My goal is to make you feel safe and deeply empowered as a parent.

My husband and I are so happy with Sophie. She’s an excellent doula, a wonderful person, and we consider her part of our family. We are first time parents and she has such a steady, comforting, kind presence that’s been crucial to helping us get through some tough days. We (and our dog, she loves Sophie) are always glad to see Sophie walk through the door. Sophie has also helped me with my breastfeeding journey - honestly, it’s not something that I’ve enjoyed overall, and she’s helped me clarify why I’m doing it and what can be done to make it easier. I’m still pumping and wouldn’t have made it this far without her. Sophie is also super thorough and documents in detail how each night goes with our daughter. I’ve changed up my daughter’s feeding routine several times with different supplements and breastmilk/formula combinations based on her gas and fussiness. Sophie is flexible and always willing to try a new routine, offering her thoughts based on what she sees at night, and is patient with me every time I want to mix it up :). In sum, we love Sophie and trust her completely with our daughter. I'm now pregnant with my second, and am obviously using Sophie as part of our dream team once again!
