Ugo Edu - Birth & Postpartum Doula

About Ugo

Hello, my name is Ugo Edu and I am a praying doula living in Palmdale, CA. I am certified as a full-spectrum doula, holistic fertility doula, and a childbirth educator. I work with women and couples to be as prepared as possible for birth and postpartum. I have a research background and passion for maternal and reproductive health and substantial training to support your fertility, birth, and postpartum needs. I am here to guide and support your preparations towards what you want. I also help women in seeking post-abortion care, prayer, and healing. I love tea, oceans, learning, spending time with my family, traveling, and nature.
