I’m here to honor birth in all forms and support your unique birth experience: I support hospital deliveries, home births, birth center deliveries, planned surgical/ C-sections, VBACs, and medicated and unmedicated births. My role is to support your birth preferences. We spend our time preparing for birth considering what feels most valuable and sacred to you, and preparing to bring those elements into your experience.

You can book a free consultation by filling out the contact form on my website or emailing me at danidoulalosangeles@gmail.com. I’ll answer your questions and help you get a sense for what I offer in order to decide if we’re the right fit. I’m always happy to intro you to other nearby doulas in case you’re looking for something different.

I am a birth doula so I come visit you postpartum but I don’t provide postpartum doula support. I’m so happy to connect you with trusted postpartum doulas / newborn care specialists / baby nurses who can support you once baby has arrived.

While I don’t work directly with insurance, some insurance plans or FSAs/HSAs reimburse doula fees. I can provide documentation to help you submit for possible reimbursement. I also offer my rates on a sliding scale to make my services more accessible.

A doula offers emotional and physical support, while a midwife provides clinical care. I work alongside midwives, OB/GYNs, and nurses in LA to ensure you have the best support possible during your birth experience. Doulas often enter the picture earlier in the labor experience than clinical care providers and support with uninterrupted physical, emotional, and informational support throughout labor and delivery.

I’m currently offering flexible pricing while I’m working on my DONA certification - so let’s start with how much you feel you can contribute toward a doula. After I’ve certified, I’ll continue to offer sliding scale pricing but will be a bit more mindful of my own schedule and income. I’d be happy to talk about your budget for a doula and see if we’re a good fit.

Yes and yes! Working with me as your doula means we’ll devote some of our prenatal sessions to your learning: about pregnancy, anatomy, the stages & phases of labor, coping techniques & evidence-based information to help you make informed choices. We will discuss your intentions and preferences around birth, comfort measures, labor and postpartum to collaborate on drafting a birth plan. My goal is that our planning sessions empower you as a confident and informed participant in your own care & birth experience.
