Jas is an amazing doula. She was with me through every step of my pregnancy. My partner and I came to Jas when we were thinking about getting pregnant. She helped me with steaming, setting intention, and writing out a plan for pregnancy. During my pregnancy I was supported with consistent meetings with Jas where she helped me plan, gave me nutrition guides a recommended birthing education class that I attended and loved. Through my birth and postpartum, Jas was such a valuable resource and support. If you are looking for an awesome doula as part of your birth team, look no further!! :)

Susy's help after our first baby girl was born has been priceless. With her help, advice, and encouragement I was able to breastfeed my baby for 20 months though at the beginning I thought I would not make it at all! Her professional knowledge and support in good and hard times made our days as new parents much brighter not to mention restful as our baby was in great hands throughout the night. I cannot recommend her enough!

Hi, I’m Chloe Morin. Mother of two, a bonus mom of one, and now, a birth and postpartum doula. My journey into motherhood has shaped me in ways I never expected, revealing both the beauty and the deep vulnerability of bringing life into the world. I believe there are two moments in life when heaven meets earth—marriage and birth. Birth is raw, powerful, and life-changing, and no woman should have to navigate it alone. My passion is to stand with women in one of the most vulnerable times of their lives, offering support, advocacy, and a steady presence, no matter what their journey looks like. Beyond birth, I am dedicated to postpartum care that truly nurtures. The fourth trimester is just as important as birth itself, and every mother deserves care that honors her healing—physically, emotionally, and mentally. My goal is simple: to ensure women feel supported, seen, and strong in this transformative season of life. I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

Hands down the best doula I could have asked for! I’ve had 2 births without a doula and decided to have one for my 3rd birth. Previously I had epidurals and wanted to try a natural birth. I was able to voice my desires with Chloe and she truly gave me the courage to do it. My labor intensified so quick from early labor to transition within an hour. By the time I made it to the hospital I was already in transition, Chloe showed and immediately started doing whatever she could to help ease the pain and my inexperience with labor pains. She truly was such an essential voice in the room, it was truly the only voice I could focus on. I knew she was there for me and knew she was going to encourage me the whole way through. She truly has been such an answered prayer to all my fears and helped me through natural labor! I honestly could not imagine any other doula with me. She’s been so supportive in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She’s calm and relaxing yet cheerful and uplifting lifting. Coming from a medical background myself I can honestly say she really is the best combination of medicine meets natural. She’s willing to lean alongside whatever goals you’re looking for in birth! Thank you Chloe, I honestly couldn’t imagine going through that labor without you!

I first found Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis when I was pregnant with my first baby and working as a bedside nurse in a busy hospital postpartum unit. I knew my body was meant to give birth, but I felt the negativity and fear of those around me was preventing me from enjoying this transformative time in my life. Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis gave me back my joy and even more. It gave me a confidence and excitement about birth that I didn't even know was possible. I went on to become a board certified lactation consultant and certified maternal newborn nurse and also attended many births as an L&D nurse. 11 years and 2 Hypnobabies of my own later, I am so happy to share this complete childbirth education class with my community and bring joy and love into the lives of birthing families.

Hello everyone my name is Tasha Nelson and I am a Christian doula! I have been working as a newborn care specialist since 2011. I fell in love with the opportunity to support families during one of the most extraordinary but exhausting times in their lives. Working as a newborn care specialist allows me the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of families. I enjoy supporting new parents during a crucial life stage and find immense fulfillment in positively impacting the well-being of both the baby and the family through specialized care, including feeding, sleep routines, and overall development guidance during the early months of life. I have worked with many infants, including premature infants and twins. I have supported mothers with breastfeeding, from milk storage, supply issues, latching problems, and more. I have also helped families who want to use formulas by providing my knowledge and support with brands and looking out for milk intolerances and digestion issues. I am knowledgeable about colicky infants, tongue ties, reflexes, cradle caps, oxygen machines, and more. I love helping families set up their nurseries to help create a safe sleep environment conducive to fostering healthy sleep habits from night one. I am open to helping families in any way I can, including bottle washing, sanitizing, and keeping the infant areas clean and organized. I am comfortable working with hands-on parents and completely taking over with the infant, doing whatever I can to offer the most support. I have worked with many different families, and I love to be able to come in and uniquely tailor my support to each family, background, beliefs, and lifestyle. I can be an educator and friend while providing guidance and support to help families feel more confident in their abilities and skills. Being able to do this job is my passion, and I feel blessed.

I do my best to adapt to what works for you and your child, and I’m always happy to offer gentle guidance when needed.

Ever since Jessica can remember, she has followed her calling to care for others. She knew from a young age that she wanted to be a nurse, and she has never deviated from that path. When she was able to formally follow her passion, she volunteered at CHOC hospital while in high school to care for sick infants. Jessica was accepted into the rigorous five- year nursing program at San Francisco State University, and was one of the 50% of remaining nursing students that successfully earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and passed her Board Exams to be licensed as a registered nurse. While enrolled in her rigorous courses at SFSU, she also became certified as a doula and donated her time to work with low- income families and assist women in the prison population at their births. Jessica’s experience during clinicals at different hospitals in the Bay Area made her question some of the traditional protocols that hospitals use, such as intervention in all births, even those that are at low risk. She began to explore other options, and was hired as an intern at The Sanctuary and Birth Center in Los Angeles. After graduating from SFSU. Jessica sought a practical balance and applied to and was accepted into the Nizhoni Institute of Midwifery where she learned and practiced a holistic approach to childbirth. During this 2 ½ year program, she was on call 24/7 for births, prenatal, and postpartum visits that were sandwiched in between her coursework. Jessica graduated, passed her Board Exams, and is a CPM-LM- Certified Professional Midwife and Licensed Midwife. Jessica has participated in more than 145 home births, and over 200 hospital births; she is well acquainted with the protocols of both. Jessica believes that in order to be the best midwife for her clients, she must be as educated and knowledgeable as possible, which led Jessica to complete courses in the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner and Midwifery program at Georgetown University. Jessica continues to further her education by staying up to date on advances in the health care field, and continue her studies at Frontier Nursing University. Jessica has officially graduated with a Master's of Science in Nursing with honors. Jessica’s ultimate goal is to combine the benefits of both western and eastern medical practices to her patients. As of yet, there isn't any other licensed midwife that has the breadth and depth of education that Jessica has achieved. Jessica believes in including the patient as part of the decision-making process. Jessica’s philosophy is that a woman should learn to trust her body and allow nature to take its course in a holistic manner when she is low risk and healthy—intervention is not always the solution. Jessica will be the strongest and most ardent advocate for mom and baby. Mom must also be educated and informed, and thus, she has responsibilities too, in order to create the most beautiful and awe-inspiring journey that the miracle of life has to offer. Working with Jessica to assist you in your home birth or water birth, you will never be disappointed. Jessica services the Orange County and Los Angeles County for home births, vbac, and water births as a midwife.

Hi My name is Javanne Brooks and I am a doula and nurse practitioner who believes whole heartedly that giving birth should be one of the greatest experiences in a persons life. Unfortunately, that is not always the case, as it wasn’t for me during my birth. It was my and the experience of so many other women that has catapulted me into maternity area of healthcare in which I strive with all of who I am to help pregnant women, husbands, and other supporters of pregnant women (moms, grandmothers, sisters, brothers, etc.) become educated and empowered advocates while in the birthing space. I have over 19 years of nursing experience as a nurse and nurse practitioner and am a clinical expert in my field. I have also helped support several pregnant, laboring and post-partum moms and partners navigate through the their maternity journeys. I am so excited to meet you and begin your journey toward a happy, healthy, educated and empowered maternal journey.

Recent review

I have had the pleasure of working with Javanne twice. She is very hands-on and is extremely knowledgeable. My first experience with Javanne was in 2022 when I had my first child. As a first-time mother, I had so many questions as I was 41 weeks pregnant and felt pressured by my doctor to induce labor. I desired to have a natural birth but was fearful after talking with my OBGYN. I was scared and felt uneducated about the process. Javanne educated me on specific questions to ask, what to expect during my upcoming appointments as well as the risks. She helped me feel at ease while teaching me to advocate for myself. I chose not to be induced and had a fairly easy natural delivery. My second time working with Javanne was in 2024. I had another vaginal birth without an epidural. Everything seemed to have gone well. Two weeks later, I noticed I was having a difficult time breathing, and I could only sleep sitting up. Additionally, I was experiencing headaches and gaining weight. I messaged Javanne, and she explained that this was not normal and urged me to go to the ER. Thank God I did! I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia and cardiomyopathy. Javanne was readily available for all my questions and educated me on the best possible treatments and what to ask my doctors and cardiologists. She also explained how postpartum preeclampsia can bring on cardiomyopathy. Javanne is attentive and wholeheartedly desires labor and delivery to be an enjoyable experience. I’m forever grateful for Javanne.

Valerie is so kind and thoughtful. I really appreciated my time with Valerie and her services were great! Being 6 weeks postpartum and taking care of a newborn, she was great at working around my schedule. Having Valerie was a way to not only focus on my postpartum recovery but also mentally recovery as well. Her wraps really helped me shed some water weight and made my stomach feel so much better after my c-section. Valerie is amazing at what she does and you will not be disappointed.
