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.

Hey! I am Violet. I was born and raised in Humboldt County CA. I moved to Los Angeles when I was 22, over 10 years ago! I originally worked in the lighting entertainment industry but made a transition to become a doula. Lights are cool and pretty and exciting! But being a doula is fulfilling. Helping families grow and adjust to this new normal is something I am passionate about. I provide non-judgmental and honest care and information during one of your families most vulnerable times. I will not judge your parenting or birth style or choices. I will never lie to you. I am here to help. My mission is to empower new parents as they transition into parenthood. When I am done providing my services my goal is to walk away with you feeling confident, relaxed, happy with your birth, and ready to take on this new life called parenthood! Everyone deserves a doula who understands who they are, listens to what they need, and comes with an open heart and an open mind. I hope to be that doula for you! I am trying to get certified and I need your help! Not being certified does not mean I am not trained. It just means I can not accept insurance. Families who agree to helping me get certified will get the service for 50% off in exchange! Offer available to three birth families! For more information, Just ask! Currently Serving: Los Angeles County & Humboldt County!

I am a first time single mom and was worried about taking care of my daughter Emma, alone and recovering from birth at the same time. Violet helped me with both night and day shifts. Violets day shifts depended on my needs for the day. Some days she was just happy to make me lunch and do laundry for me and Emma. Some days I needed some time alone and she was there to do tummy time with Emma, put her down for naps, and sing to her. When she was on nights she was there to burp, change, and settle the baby down again after I breast fed her so I was able to sleep a little more. She always had cleaned any bottles she would use by the morning and would make us both coffee before I got up. She even gave me a slight discount knowing I didn't have a two income household witch helped me a lot in the long run.

If you value both evidence and intuition, I might be the doula for you. I love helping clients combine research and their own instincts to make decisions that are right for them. Furthermore, I might be the doula for you if you want support without an agenda. I don’t believe there’s an ideal way to approach birth or postpartum adjustment. I’m here to understand and support whatever path you want to take.

Recent review

Working with Glory as both our birth and postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. She is professional, trustworthy, calm, and genuinely goes above and beyond in every aspect of her work. Postpartum, she was incredibly helpful with both emotional and practical support. She took initiative without ever overstepping, followed our lead as parents, and created a steady, reassuring presence in our home. She was excellent at baby-related care and household support, always keeping our kitchen sink clean and organized, and preparing truly delicious, nourishing meals that made a real difference during recovery. She also helped us troubleshoot very specific challenges related to sleep, bottle feeding, and lactation, and when something was outside her scope as a doula, she thoughtfully referred us to an excellent IBCLC, which we greatly appreciated. She is highly communicative, responsive, and supportive, and consistently brought a warm, positive, and grounded energy. We trusted her completely and always felt respected and heard. As a birth doula, she invested significant time outside of our scheduled prenatal meetings, providing education, guidance, and emotional support. When I encountered a complication that required an induction, she was especially helpful in walking us through what to expect and how to advocate for my needs. During labor and delivery, she was exceptional at protecting oxytocin, guiding positioning, and supporting both me and my husband as a true teammate. Her presence helped us feel confident, informed, and supported through labor, delivery, and into postpartum recovery. We are incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, proactive, warm, and deeply supportive.

I have worked as a baby nurse for over 25 years and I enjoy helping new parents make the transition into parenthood, by teaching them how to care for the new addition to their family. I have the knowledge and training needed to educate new parents on how to care for their newborn by teaching them how to feed, bath and put babies down for naptime. I can help parents organize the nursery to make things more convenient and easier to handle. I am highly trained to take care of twins or even triplets, so parents with multiple newborns are not so overwhelmed and stressed. Even parents who already have children at home can use the extra help, so they have time to take care of their other children.

Helen was extremely sweet, reliable, and knowledgeable when taking care of our newborn. With her expertise and guidance, he sleeps like a champ now. We can’t thank her enough for all her help, she’s the best!

Hello everyone, my name is Momo Bass and I am a certified birth doula as well as a trained postpartum doula that serves the greater Los Angeles and Pasadena area. Aside from doing this rewarding work for a while, I am also a mama myself, to three amazing kiddos! When I'm not cheering on my kids at soccer practice, you'll likely find me tending to my ever-growing houseplant collection, or tending to myself at the gym. But my true passion lies in supporting families embarking on their incredible birthing journey. Motherhood is what threw me into the thralls of what it means to bring life into this world. It's this firsthand knowledge, coupled with my relentless curiosity about the miracle of birth and the transition into becoming a parent, that led me to become a birth and postpartum doula. Bringing my kiddos earth side became my superpower, and it’s become my mission to ignite that same fire in the families I work with. I believe that starts with finding judgment-free informational and emotional support, and I believe it starts when parents take back control of how their labor & postpartum experience goes by making informed decisions on what’s best for yourself and your growing family. “Everyone wants to hold the baby, but who will hold the mother/parents?” As a birth and postpartum doula, I will!

I had the pleasure of working alongside Monique as my co-doula, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional professional. Momo brings warmth, compassion, and unwavering dedication to every family she supports. Her calm demeanor and intuitive ability to anticipate the needs of both birthing parents and their partners make her a reliable and invaluable presence during such an important time. Working with Momo, I’ve seen firsthand how her knowledge, experience, and genuine care create a safe and empowering space for her clients. She has a natural gift for fostering connection and ensuring her clients feel heard, supported, and respected throughout their journey. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Momo by their side. She’s not just a doula but a true advocate and companion for the families she serves. Warmly, Maia S

With over twenty five years' experience as an NCS(newborn care specialist), CPPD(certified postpartum doula), & Certified Lactation Educator Counselor, I aspire to be a calming, nonjudgmental  and supportive presence for parents during the first few weeks/months with their newborn(s). I do this with kind and straightforward coaching and assistance in lactation, newborn care, sleep facilitation and other areas of a new baby's development.  Looking forward to helping you navigate the start of your exciting journey into parenthood.

We highly recommend Melanie, whose expertise in newborn care, CPR training, and lactation support was invaluable to us as first-time parents. Melanie was our trusted source of advice, education, and guidance for both our son’s care and my postpartum recovery. Melanie’s meticulousness, thoughtfulness, and nurturing approach was transformative. Under her guidance, I navigated breastfeeding successfully and our son developed positive sleep habits by 8 weeks, allowing him to sleep through the night. Melanie’s calm and reassuring presence replaced any anxiety we had with confidence and peace of mind from the moment we arrived home. Her support allowed us time to focus on healing, bonding, and building confidence as new parents—gifts we are deeply grateful for. Melanie’s impact on our family’s well-being was immeasurable, giving us the best start possible.

Hello, I am a certified Postpartum Doula living in West LA with my husband and two children. We are a British family and we moved over here from London in 2019. We have since created a wonderful new life for ourselves in the LA sunshine. Since becoming a mother myself, I’ve realized I have a nurturing spirit inside me. My goal, as a certified postpartum doula, is to support and educate families through their transition into the 4th trimester, by providing a safe, and empowering space to heal and connect with their new baby.

Recent review

I honestly don’t know how I would’ve survived those first six weeks without Kate. From day one, she felt like a trusted friend who just happened to be an absolute baby genius. Every morning she’d arrive with that sunshine-in-her-smile energy, ready to tackle my ever-growing laundry pile and whip up the most comforting meals I could dream of—everything from protein-packed breakfasts to those cozy soups that warmed me to my bones. But the best part? Watching her with my baby. She somehow knew exactly how to soothe my little one’s hiccups and fussy spells—rocking, swaddling, gentle shushing—like she’d been a baby whisperer her whole life. And she let me take that long-overdue bath I desperately needed! Thank god. If you’re looking for someone who will hold your baby so you can breathe, who’ll nourish your body and your spirit, and who’ll make you laugh when you’re barely keeping your eyes open—Kate is your person. I’ll be forever grateful for her support, her tips, and that big heart of hers.

I come from a family of birth workers and OTs —so supporting people through this part of life has always felt familiar and important to me. Over time, I realized how much I care about helping people feel empowered and heard, especially during birth, when they need it most. I believe in practical, down-to-earth support that combines knowledge, empathy, and a warm presence (plus a little humor when it’s needed). I try to meet each person where they are and support the kind of birth they want—whether that’s quiet and private or full of conversation and teamwork. To me, birth is a shared experience, but the birthing person is always at the center. I see my role as making sure they feel respected, cared for, and in charge of their experience.

My name is Lisa and I’m a Certified Postpartum Doula (DONA) and Certified Lactation Educator Specialist (CLES) serving the Los Angeles South Bay, Westside and surrounding areas. I provide nurturing, informed care, assistance, and resources to you, your baby and family as you navigate the postpartum period. As your postpartum doula, my goal is to provide physical and emotional support through what is undoubtedly one of the most profoundly transformational and magical periods of your life. I want you to feel nourished, confident, and empowered to tune in to your own intuition and trust your instincts.

Recent review

Lisa was not only an important part of my husband and my journey into parenthood but she was critical in my post-partum experience, learning to balance caring for my own recovery with caring for my daughter. The post-partum experience is a wild one, where everything from your mind, body and soul changes and you are redefining yourself and how you relate to those around you - all while learning a completely new skill of caring for a newborn. From the beginning, Lisa was reassuring, letting me know that everything is "a phase", giving me permission to have challenging moments and let those be simply moments. She shared evidenced based information and tools we can employ as we moved through learning to feed our baby, breastfeed, figure out her sleep schedules, playing with her, and so much more. I am a hands-on learner and I needed space to discuss, plan and strategize (essentially talk Lisa's ear off!) what I was going to do next before doing it myself. She supported me every step of the way and adjusted the way she supported me and my family in the way that we needed it. With an extraordinarily kind and empathetic sensibility, she listened and met me and my husband where we were. And our daughter loved being cared by her like when my husband and I desperately needed a nap in the earlier days or when I needed a shower and time to myself. My mother, who does not speak English very well, was staying with us a few weeks and Lisa was culturally sensitive and helped my family feel comfortable to navigate this phase unapologetically and without having to explain our Korean rituals (e.g., eating seaweed soups as much as possible!) and beliefs. She was respectful, supportive and empowered us to lean into our instincts as new parents with our own beautiful identities and cultural backgrounds. Thank you, Lisa, for the confidence you helped nurture in our family as we became first time parents. The next family is very happy to have you guide them!

My name is Lauren. I am a passionate birth worker and postpartum support person dedicated to aiding families on their incredible journey into parenthood. My own transformative experience during labor and postpartum inspired me to embark on this meaningful path, shaping my commitment to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to birthing individuals and their partners. As someone who took every measure to prepare for an empowered birth, only to face unexpected twists and turns, I understand the profound impact that labor can have on one's physical, emotional, and mental well-being. This personal journey fueled my determination to become a doula, ensuring that no one navigates this transformative experience alone. I bring to my practice not only professional training and expertise but a genuine understanding of the emotional and physical complexities of childbirth and early parenthood. My goal is to be more than just a doula; I am here to be your advocate, confidante, and unwavering support system. Whether you are expecting your first child or adding to your beautiful family, I am dedicated to being IN IT with you. It would be an honor to join you on this incredible adventure, offering the support (mind, body, spirit), knowledge, and compassionate care you deserve.

Lauren was an absolute lifesaver throughout my wife and I's birthing experience. It was our first time and we really wanted to dive head first into educating ourselves about everything that had to do with giving birth and having a child. Lauren was so helpful with the entire process. She was so informed and educated about anything we brought up or asked questions about, she always had an answer or direction for us. She was so supportive throughout the entire process always being caring with every decision we had come to. She made our labor and delivery such a beautiful experience as well, she showed up at our residence at 2am ready for anything that may have came our way and helped my wife tremendously get to the hospital and ready to birth our baby! Lauren was such a strong powerhouse to have in our presence during it all and we would not have changed a thing, we are so thankful and grateful that we had Lauren by our side every step of the way and we will definitely be contacting Lauren when we have our 2nd!
