Hello I am Blair. I provide birth, lactation and abortion doula support to the Shasta county area. I believe in supporting the family dynamic where they are. I love this quote from Spinning Babies method of care: "I do not care what kind of birth you have. . . Home birth, scheduled Cesarean, epidural hospital birth or if you birth alone in the woods next to a baby dear. I care that you had options, that you were supported in your choices, and that you were respected." -January Harshe

5/5 Stars – Diana was truly a gift during our birth journey Living far from any family, we felt a bit alone heading into labor, but hiring Diana as our doula changed everything. She became the steady, loving support we desperately needed — and so much more. From our prenatal meetings through labor and into the postpartum period, Diana was an incredible resource: knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. Her calm presence was like an anchor in the storm. While the hospital room filled with busy doctors and nurses pulling in different directions, Diana stayed focused on us, offering quiet reassurance and practical help exactly when we needed it. One small moment stands out as huge: during active labor, when my wife's long hair kept falling into her face and adding to her discomfort, Diana simply reached over, gathered it up, and tied it back with a hair tie she’d thoughtfully brought. It was such a simple gesture, yet it felt profoundly caring — like someone was truly looking out for the little things amid all the intensity. That act alone made us feel seen, supported, and taken care of in a way we’ll never forget. We are so grateful for Diana’s wisdom, her steady hands, and her heart. If you’re considering a doula, we can’t recommend her highly enough. She made our birth experience feel safer, more empowered, and deeply supported. Thank you, Diana — you’re amazing!

Ysabel Uribe

5 years of experience

Accepts insurance

Hello! Thank you for reading this. My name is Ysabel Uribe, the heart behind Lumina Doula. I am a full spectrum doula devoted to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with compassionate, individualized care. Birth has always been woven into my life. As the eighth of nine children, I was born at home into the loving presence of my family. Birth was often talked about at the dinner table and witnessing the birth of my youngest brother when I was five years old planted a quiet sense of wonder that has guided me ever since. Today, I bring together my background in Kinesiology(B.S), my doula training from DONA, traditional postpartum education training, physiological baby care courses and a deep respect for both evidence-based knowledge and ancestral wisdom to care for families in a way that is nurturing, informed, and deeply personal. At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that every woman carries an innate wisdom and knowing about her own body. I trust the physiology of birth and believe that each family's journey should be guided by their own values, intuition, and choices. My role is not to lead your experience but to walk beside you, offering steady support, thoughtful education, nourishing meals, herbal preparations, healing touch, and a calming presence as you move through one of life's most profound transformations. My hope is that you feel seen, heard, and held as you step into this new chapter with confidence and trust in yourself.

FAQs

What is a midwife?

A midwife is a licensed medical professional who cares for low-risk pregnancies and mothers who want no-to-low intervention deliveries (e.g., home birth, birthing center delivery, water birth).

Can you pay for a midwife with HSA or FSA funds in Redding, CA?

Yes, you can use Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for midwifery services, as long as those services are related to medical care. Always check the specific rules of your HSA or FSA plan, as there can be variations in what expenses are considered eligible between different plans.

Are midwives covered by insurance in Redding, CA?

Whether insurance covers the cost of a midwife in Redding, CA, depends on your specific insurance plan and the midwife's credentials. Many insurance plans, including Medi-Cal, cover midwifery services if the midwife is licensed and works within a network or facility approved by the insurance provider. Coverage may also vary based on whether the birth takes place at a hospital, birthing center, or home. It’s essential to contact your insurance company to confirm what services are covered and check with the midwife to ensure they accept your insurance.

How much does a midwife cost in Redding, CA?

The cost of a midwife in Redding, CA, can vary depending on the specific services provided, the midwife's experience, and whether the care is for a home birth, birth center, or prenatal and postpartum care. On average, midwife services in California can range from $3,000 to $6,000 for a full package, which typically includes prenatal visits, labor and delivery support, and postpartum care. Some midwives may also offer payment plans or sliding scale fees. It’s important to check if your insurance covers midwifery services, as this could reduce out-of-pocket costs. For the most accurate pricing, it’s best to contact local midwives or birthing centers directly in Redding, CA.

What's the difference between a midwife and a doula?

A midwife is a trained health professional who helps women during labor, delivery, and after the birth of their babies. Midwives can provide gynecological examinations, prenatal care, and postpartum support. They are qualified to deliver babies and are trained to handle certain complications during childbirth. A doula, on the other hand, is a non-medical professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to a mother who is expecting, is experiencing labor, or has recently given birth. The doula's role is to help women have a safe, memorable, and empowering birthing experience. They are known for their continuous support, beginning during pregnancy and lasting through the postpartum period. While midwives have a broad scope of practice that is clinical in nature, doulas specialize in the non-clinical aspects of care. They might be preferred by mothers who are looking for continuous bedside support that is not typically provided by the medical staff. Doulas are known for their advocacy for the mother's wishes during childbirth, which can be especially valuable in hospital settings where the mother may desire a birth plan that deviates from standard procedures.

What's the difference between a midwife and an OBGYN?

A midwife is a healthcare professional who specializes in low-risk pregnancies, childbirth, and postpartum care. They typically emphasize a natural and holistic approach, focusing on minimal medical interventions. Midwives often work in birth centers, at home births, or in hospitals, depending on their certification and location. They provide personalized care and support throughout pregnancy and labor and may also assist with breastfeeding and newborn care. An OBGYN is a medical doctor who has completed extensive training, including medical school and a residency, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology. They care for all types of pregnancies, including high-risk cases, and are trained to handle medical complications, perform surgeries (like C-sections), and provide comprehensive reproductive healthcare beyond pregnancy. OBGYNs typically work in hospitals or clinics and can manage a broader range of medical situations.

Can I see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy?

Yes, you can see a midwife for an IVF pregnancy. Midwives are trained to provide care during pregnancy, including for those conceived through IVF, as long as the pregnancy is low-risk. They can help with prenatal care, labor, and delivery, and provide postpartum support. However, if your IVF pregnancy is considered high-risk or involves complications, you may need to work with an obstetrician in collaboration with the midwife to ensure proper care. Always consult with your healthcare provider to determine the best care plan for your situation.

Recent midwife reviews near Redding

— Esther and Kyle S., review of Diana Danielson January 2026

I met Diana just a couple weeks before I delivered. She was amazing, and I wish I would have met her sooner as this was my third pregnancy/baby. She was my 2nd support person during my delivery and she was very calm, informative, and overall a great support person to have. She has been a shoulder to lean on and has helped with day to day tasks that have been almost impossible to keep up with. I highly recommend her as a doula, support person, and overall as a person in your corner through you pregnancy and postpartum.
