As your doula, my role is to support you and your family in the way that best helps you feel calm, confident, and present throughout labor. That might look like hands-on support to help you labor more comfortably at home, guiding your partner in how to do the same, offering gentle coaching as you breathe through contractions, or even quietly capturing photos and keeping loved ones updated. Every birth is unique, and I’m flexible to your goals and desires—even if they shift as labor unfolds. While some people picture doulas as very “woo-woo” or mystical, my style is more grounded and pragmatic. I believe in giving you practical tools, evidence-based guidance, and steady encouragement so you can navigate the challenges of labor with clarity and confidence. I love preparing families by educating them about what to expect and how to respond intentionally, rather than react impulsively in the moment. My professional background is in leadership, mentorship, and professional development, and I bring that same skillset into my doula work—helping you tap into your own strength, stay relaxed, and move through labor as smoothly as your body allows. My ultimate goal is to help you experience the fastest, easiest birth your body is capable of, while holding space for you to feel calm, supported, and fully present in the process.

I would highly recommend hiring Alix if you are giving birth anytime soon or saving her information if you plan to give birth anytime in the future. My husband and I were not originally planning on having a doula. We gave birth at a birthing center and thought that a doula's main benefit would be advocating for us in a hospital setting (although we did not experience this I am positive Alix would also be very helpful in this setting as well). Alix was a godsend!! Get ready for the long list of things that were so helpful to my husband and I in labor: she helped give my husband a break from different comfort measures, helped calm and focus me when I started to believe I couldn't do it, was so knowledgeable in different positions and comfort measures to try, she brought different tools with her to help in labor (I would not have gotten through labor without the help of the labor comb that she brought), she communicated directly with our midwife and got us going to the birthing center when we needed to (without her we probably would have given birth at home which was not a part of our plan), and on the way to the birthing center she bought liquid IV's to make sure I was staying hydrated. This is just the list of things she did while at our home and on the way to the birthing center (and it is not an exhaustive list!!). I haven't even mentioned how she helped at the birthing center as well as her communication and encouragement during pregnancy and her care after giving birth. This review is already long enough so I will not add those things but will say that Alix is amazing and you will not regret hiring her (especially if you are a first time mom like me!!).

This was my first experience working with a doula, and it exceeded my expectations. She was extremely knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and she provided so much helpful information throughout the process. She supported me in reaching my birth goals, and my overall experience was significantly better than my first birth without a doula. I highly recommend her to anyone considering doula support.

Hi there! Thank you so much for visiting my site and for your interest in my services. I would love to give you a little info about me so you can better understand who I am and how I can help you along your journey in parenthood. My name is Janee and I live in Cypress with my husband, Jake and our 4 daughters- Olivia, Sophia, Avery, and Harper. After the birth of my first daughter, I realized how underprepared I was for labor. I looked back on my experience unhappy with the things that were ‘done to me,’ rather than being able to make educated decisions based on evidence and my maternal instincts. During my second pregnancy, I knew I wanted to be more prepared and have a completely different birth experience. I did a lot of research on evidence-based practices and created an ideal vision for what I wanted this next birth to look like. After my dream birth, I immediately felt justified for wanting more for myself AND my baby. I had a newfound sense of empowerment as a mother. Ever since, I knew I wanted to be a part of this amazing birth community to help other families feel this same joy. My goal is to provide gentle education, encouragement, and support in whichever ways you need it, while tending to your family’s unique needs during this beautiful time in your life. I am a trained Doula through DONA International. I also have extensive training in childbirth education and breastfeeding support. I welcome all inquiries. Please use my Contact page to send me a message about what you’re looking for and how I can help you. I look forward to speaking with you!

As a first-time dad, I wasn’t totally sure what a doula did—I just knew I wanted my wife to feel supported during labor. What I didn’t expect was how much I would benefit from having her there, too. From the moment we hired Janée, she made both of us feel informed, confident, and ready. She took the time to educate us on the stages of labor, comfort techniques, and what to expect in the hospital. By the time my wife went into labor, I actually felt prepared instead of overwhelmed. During the birth, she was absolutely incredible. She supported my wife emotionally and physically, but she also guided me on how to support her better—whether it was suggesting positions, showing me how to apply counter-pressure, or reassuring me when things got intense. I never once felt useless or in the way. Instead, I felt like an active part of the process, which meant everything to me. She created a calm, encouraging atmosphere the entire time. Anytime we had questions, she explained things clearly and helped us feel comfortable with the decisions we were making. Her presence took so much stress off both of us, allowing me to focus on my wife and stay grounded. Looking back, hiring Janée was one of the best decisions we made. She didn’t just support my wife—she empowered me as a husband and new father. If you’re on the fence, especially as a dad, take it from me: a good doula is worth every bit of it. She made our birth experience something we’ll be grateful for forever.

Nicole is the best doula I could’ve ever asked for. She is kind, giving, supportive, loving, generous, and has been wonderful since we met. I heard from her very often in my pregnancy as she was always present. She is knowledgeable about pregnancy, birth, labor, postpartum, etc. I always felt like I can count on her and reach out to her — she is always available to assist in any way she can. I received texts from her about pregnancy exercises/workouts, pregnancy and postpartum meals, ways to give a natural birth, labor tips, and other super helpful information. Additionally, Nicole’s past experience in HR was beneficial as she helped me create a plan to be with my baby as long as possible. Notably, she helped me create a detailed birth plan and once at the hospital made sure I was advocated for and that the staff stuck to my preferences. She coached me through giving birth to my son successfully. My baby came out healthy and beautiful. I am so grateful our paths have crossed and that she was my doula. Nicole is without hesitation a pleasure to be around and is the best support system for moms looking for guidance, love, and assistance. 5 stars across the board! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

She is so patient, loving, and always made me so comfortable. During the process she answered any questions I had during pregnancy, labor, and birth. I would not want anyone else as my doula and I highly recommend her!
