Find a Doula Near Me in Thousand Oaks, CA

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!

My Journey in Newborn care started way before I had my son, began back in 2018. I was introduced to an amazing family who needed the extra help overnight and I took up the opportunity as I knew I was more than cable of helping out the family in this new season. The family really opened up my eyes to an amazing opportunity of being able to help families with new babies. I was fascinated and took a leap of faith to start my own business as a New Born Care Specialist. I got certified and never looked back. Had my baby boy three years later and dove back into my business, as an ever better NCS because I now had a better and deeper understanding what it was like to come from the hospital with a new baby.

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.

Hi, I’m Lauren — a birth worker devoted to walking alongside families through one of the most powerful transitions of their lives. My path into birth work was shaped by my own deeply transformative pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. I prepared thoroughly, trusted my body, and still encountered moments that were unexpected, intense, and humbling. That lived experience changed me — and it’s what informs how I show up for the families I serve today. I bring together evidence-based education, trauma-informed support, and embodied presence to help birthing people feel grounded, informed, and supported — whether they’re planning a medicated hospital birth, an unmedicated birth, or something in between. You don’t need to fit a “type” to work with me. My role isn’t to push an agenda, but to help you feel confident, prepared, and supported in your choices. Over the last year, my practice has deepened through advanced doula training, mentorship, and apprenticeship — including immersive work with Haize Hawke and master-level education focused on physiology, nervous system regulation, advocacy, and the emotional landscape of birth. I’m also the founder of Mycelial Womb, a collective rooted in the understanding that transformation happens best when it’s supported, witnessed, and integrated — much like mycelial networks beneath the forest floor. What tends to stand out to clients is that I’m steady under pressure, deeply attuned, and fully present. I support both the practical and the emotional — helping partners feel confident, navigating medical systems with clarity, and creating space for processing what arises before, during, and after birth. I’m equally comfortable explaining hospital procedures, advocating when needed, holding silence, or helping you find your footing when things feel intense or uncertain. Whether you’re someone who has always felt drawn to birth work — or someone who didn’t know they wanted this level of support until now — my intention is the same: to walk with you, not ahead of you, not over you, but with you, through this threshold. It would be an honor to support you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum — with care that is grounded, responsive, and deeply human.

Birth & Postpartum Doula I have been supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum since long before I had the language for it formally serving as a doula since 2021, but showing up for birthing people in my community for years before that. Birth work found me through my own pregnancies (c-section) unmedicated V back and unmedicated water birth vbac mama my background in education. As a former preschool and kindergarten teacher, I’ve always been drawn to caring for the whole child and family. Each of my births deepened my commitment to this work, and I’m passionate about supporting women who look like me in spaces where we are often the only ones. I’m a super big supporter of Vbacs They are my favorite. I currently work with Kindred Space LA, Frontline Doulas, and the Irth App, supporting families through birth, postpartum, belly binding, and babywearing. An avid breastfeeder myself nursing each of my children for 3 years I bring lived experience and practical support to feeding journeys. My practice centers education, cultural affirmation, and hands on care.

Helping family during postpartum is my second calling in life; massage therapy was first. I am naturally drawn to bring holistic care to family in this new journey, or a continuation of life and transitions.

Hello Everyone! My name is Donna Moragne-Hanson. I'm a licensed midwife in Los Angeles, CA providing well-woman, pre-conception and prenatal/postpartum midwifery care. I also provide doula care, childbirth education and lactation support from the privacy of my in-home birthing studio. Here you & your family are provided with everything you need for a safe, comfortable and peaceful birth.

I offer specialty services such as yoni steams, healing herbal baths, Ala-carte Postpartum packages and the "Closing of the Bones" ceremony, bringing spiritual closure to your birth. For me, establishing trust with my client is the most important and fundamental. My practice is built on nurturing trust and learning to let go of the things we allow to interfere with trust. I want to encourage trusting in yourself; trusting in your body (and the natural process of giving birth); trusting in your baby (and their own divinely written birth story); trusting in humanity (and the world your baby is born into) and trusting in our partnership, as client and midwife. I believe, "when a woman is heard, she is seen; when she is seen, she has a voice"; and as her midwife I am compelled to encourage her to honor that voice; her voice. In this way I believe I am blessed with an opportunity to fulfill my role as supporter, facilitator, educator and client advocate; the ultimate calling of a midwife. For me, describing the process of birth is like trying to describe a miracle; and walking with a woman as she becomes a mother is even more profound…I am beyond words. Donna, LM, CPM
