Postpartum Doula Care

Serving Los Angeles & Beyond


My Philosophy

As a DONA-trained postpartum doula, I am dedicated to providing intentional and sincere support to birthing and non-birthing parents during the precious postpartum weeks. My journey into birth work stems from a fascination with the birth experience from a very young age, oversees experience, and a profound belief in advocating for maternal health. I support families as they navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming new life, ensuring they feel guided, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

As a certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner, I believe in the transformative power of food to support postpartum recovery and overall well being. I firmly believe that nutrition plays a pivotal role in nurturing the body and mind during this special time.

Through heart-centered practices and a nurturing approach, I strive to create a space where families can find comfort, reassurance, and practical assistance. Whether it is providing breastfeeding support, assisting with newborn care, providing guidance on nourishing postpartum meals, or simply offering a listening ear, my goal is to foster a positive postpartum experience.

After birth there’s a sacred window of time. A time for complete rejuvenation of a person’s physical, mental and spiritual health. A time for deep, extended bonding with their newborn. The first 42 days after birth set the stage for their next 42 years.
