Hi! I'm Olivia, a DONA certified postpartum doula, and DONA trained birth doula with a passion for supporting mothers through their incredible journey into motherhood. I believe childbirth & postpartum is a sacred and beautiful experience, and it's an honor to share that space with birthing mothers & their family. I’m here to provide unwavering support, expert knowledge, and a calming presence to care for you and your baby. Let's embrace this path together and welcome the adventure of motherhood.

Hi, I’m Lissette Palencia, a Certified Infant Sleep Consultant and Newborn Care Specialist. I know how overwhelming those first months with a baby can be—sleepless nights, endless questions, and the constant juggle of figuring out what works best for your little one. That’s why I’ve dedicated my work to supporting parents like you. Through Baby Slumber Consultant, I’ve had the joy of helping families create gentle routines, improve their baby’s sleep, and feel more confident in their parenting journey. My approach is always nurturing and personalized—because every baby is unique, and every family deserves solutions that truly fit their needs. I’m here to make those long nights a little easier, to bring peace of mind, and to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone. Together, we’ll create space for more rest, more confidence, and more of the sweet moments you want to remember.

Hello, my name is Nina Lamanna and I am a DONA certfied Birth and Postpartum Doula from Los Angeles. I have been a doula since 2017, and trained with DONA teachers and trainers in Los Angeles with Kathryn Auger and Cheryl Baker.

In my free time, I enjoy making dinner with my husband, dancing ballet, baking, painting, and playing with my english bulldog.

Hi! My name is Darien and I’m a Registered Nurse with specialized experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. For 10 years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for newborns in some of their most delicate and important moments. That background has given me deep knowledge in newborn safety, feeding, sleep support, and recognizing the little details that matter most in those first months. Beyond my professional training, I’m also a mom myself. I understand firsthand the exhaustion, the joy, and the constant learning curve that comes with bringing a new baby home. My goal is to bring both medical expertise and a mother’s intuition to the families I support—whether it’s overnight care so you can rest, guidance with feeding and soothing, or simply being a calm, reliable presence in your home. Every family is unique, and I pride myself on meeting you where you are—supporting your routines, respecting your preferences, and making sure you feel confident and cared for. I look forward to helping you create a peaceful, well-rested start for your little one and your family.

My name is Darby and I work primarily as an Overnight Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula. As a Newborn Care Specialist I support you in your first 12-20 weeks home with a new baby with 30 to 60 hours a week of overnight or daytime care. I will get you set off on the right foot when it comes to having a healthy sleep schedule; working to get your little one (or ones!) sleeping through the night as it becomes age appropriate. I will support their eating needs to ensure their intake supports age appropriate growth and successful sleep, whether that is through breast feeding, formula feeding, bottle feeding or some combination of those options. And most importantly I will be able to keep a close eye on your newest and tiniest family member to make sure their health, development, and habits are all trending in the right direction. Overall my objective is to get a sense for your goals in the first few months to help educate, support, and assess the baby’s and family’s needs. As a postpartum doula my work will look very similar but will have the parent take the lead more. I will be there as your shadow to support with healthy healing for mom and baby. I can offer education, nurturing, assessments of postpartum recovery and referrals to other folks who would help you be successful during this unique time in life.

Michaela (Mikki) Bell is the face behind TheDoulaBell and has really been preparing for this gifting her whole life. She jokes, "The first doula client I ever had was a momma sheep out on our family friend's farm in Colorado when I was 9 years old. That was the first birth I ever participated in and since then, I've been so enthralled with birth in every form." Mikki's real journey to becoming a doula began with the birth of her firstborn, Jensen. She states that having a doula herself changed her whole perception about what birth is really like and what the human body is capable of. She says "My doula really helped me achieve what I hoped for in childbirth. She supported all of my decisions and was just that constant reassuring presence of someone who knows birth. Birth is hard and sometimes scary and I think it's absolutely essential to have someone that the birthing person and her partner can rely on and who can help them achieve their goals and dreams on potentially one of the most memorable days of their lives." ​ Mikki has been able to work with parents in all types of birth settings, deliveries with OB's in the operating room and with midwives at home in a bedroom, and for parents of twins, singletons, and for IVF and VBAC families. Without a doubt, you will feel supported in every way during your pregnancy, labor and birth if you decide to hire Mikki, TheDoulaBell.
