Hi mamas, partners, and soon-to-be parents! I'm Fredi, a birth doula located in Los Angeles. As an ecologist by training, I am so grateful to have wandered into the world of birth work — it's this deeply personal, synergetic work that draws me in and feels like a natural union of my passions and gifts. Birth amazes me in its physiology, in how it connects us so clearly to the natural world, and in the way it illuminates our true power as women. I'd be honored to support you during the momentous rites of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, no matter your birth preferences. I offer 3 comprehensive birth packages and will negotiate sliding scale options for those interested.

Hi. I'm Kiki Lazarus and I'm a birth + postpartum doula practicing in Los Angeles, California. I'm a woman, mother, wife, daughter, and friend who tends to the physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing of family constellations during the profound transitions surrounding birth. My practice combines softness + structure to create a calm ecosystem of care across the perinatal continuum, and my approach blends integrative, evidence-based, modern birth work with the physiologic wisdom encoded in our DNA. My ethos of Planet + People centers perinatal mental health, the parasympathetic nervous system, nurturing the infant–parent dyad, and resourcing families. I'm devoted to envisioning a radical reality filled with a just, peaceful, beautiful, intuitive culture of birth + beyond, and is thoroughly invested in the full-spectrum of human emotion/experience, body literacy, birth stories, and parenting in modernity.

Thank goodness for Kathleen! She had all the answers and guidance that I didn’t even know I needed it. She supported me through each step, including Breastfeeding, sleep, growth, spurts, and everything else! She was a godsend.

Recent review

JD was everything we could want in a doula and more than we knew to ask for. They weren't just incredibly supportive and helpful during the labor and delivery, but they were curious about us and our relationship and family and how that might influence what we would need or want when the time came. the time came unexpectedly and suddenly and JD was still there through the whole thing. My partner is nonbinary and JD was there with they/them reminders when we were exhausted, in addition to advocating for us with hospital staff, anticipating needs and bringing extra love and comfort to our efforts.

We just had our first baby. It turned out to be a great choice to have Renee as our doula. We had two fruitful prenatal sessions to prepare a thorough birth plan and to practice various techniques for coping with contractions and pushing effectively. She was also very helpful through my whole laboring process. With her help, I managed to make sensible decisions about medical interventions and had a memorable laboring experience without regret.

I am from a long line of montessori certified child development specialist. for as long as I can remember I've been a natural caregiver, building that into a passionate career was an easy choice. (plus...cuddling babies!) through my training and experience I've become an expert in child development and learned the importance of providing newborns with the building blocks to form strong loving attachments, healthy sleep habits, and a routine that helps both baby and family thrive. I am a montessori trained NCS and in my 5 years of services as an overnight doula my clients never fail to express too me how much my love, consideration, and comforting guidance has impacted their families lives. I believe love and secure attachment in all aspects of babies life is key to healthy development. It is my honor to join in the care of your new family!
