Welcome! My name is Rose, and I'm a certified birth doula. I will accompany you in your pregnancy, labor and postpartum journey. I provide assistance during pregnancy and labor by giving parents the necessary information they need to make informed decisions about their care. I provide newborn assistance, information on childbirth education, breastfeeding, lactation and postpartum support. As a community doula I believe in healing the body. The reason many women do not heal during postpartum is because there are still many toxins trapped in their bodies that prevent them from healing. I work with mothers at whatever stage of emotional and physical support they need and provide them with the resources they need to feel empowered throughout this journey. I believe in holistic healing, ayurveda, essential oils, aromatherapy & yoga. I have lived in Taiwan and South Korea and have learned about traditional healing methods. My experience includes working with women from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. This includes women who have experienced pregnancy loss, abortions, trauma and high-risk IVF procedures. I also speak Spanish and work with the Spanish speaking community. I hold a Master's Degree in Education and a Certified Birth Doula certification. I really enjoy teaching couples and enhancing their knowledge about pregnancy & labor. Unlike other doulas, I bring a strong background in healthcare working in acute hospitals in the nursing department. Although I am not a nurse, my background includes ER, ICU, medicine & surgery, mental health, rehabilitation, post rehab and sub-acute units. I am also trained as a medication technician which allows me to understand the different types of medications that are given to patients in hospitals. I've worked in a variety of hospital settings and have the necessary experience to deliver bedside nursing skills. I accept several forms of insurance across California. Contact me today!

Hi, I’m Tremaine Wilson. I am a full-spectrum birth & postpartum doula, lactation educator, newborn care specialist, and Phase-2 student midwife serving families across Los Angeles County, Riverside County, and San Bernardino County.

I integrate evidence-informed practice with intuitive guidance, herbal support, and a grounded presence. I come from a long line of birthworkers, and I’ve spent years supporting families across hospitals, birth centers, and home births. My background in community care, reproductive justice, and newborn wellness shapes the way I show up — with compassion, advocacy, and reverence for each family’s story. I would love to walk alongside you through your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

I had a wonderful experience with Tremaine. Before hiring her I was very nervous and she helped me prepare for labor mentality, emotionally and physically. My hospital birth was great all thanks to her. She really helped me a lot during labor by using aromatherapy, massage, positive affirmation, and guiding me on movements to help me cope with contractions. After labor she continued checking on me and gave me great advice that helped me heal. I recommend Tremaine because she has very caring, helpful and knowledgeable.

Elsy is very professional about everything she does. We worked with her when our second child arrived. The baby came small unexpectedly and had to stay at NICU. We were so glad Elsy was able to support us with the special needs we had. She gave us peace of mind and was able to catch some rest while she was around. Even if you are not a first time mom, you could use a help like Elsy as she always have the most up to date information about babies.

I am a CAPPA-certified Postpartum Doula and experienced Baby Nurse with over 10 years of hands-on experience supporting newborns, children, and adults in both hospital and private home settings. My clinical background includes serving as a Certified Nursing Assistant at Providence Saint John’s and Cedars-Sinai in the Pediatrics, Postpartum, and Oncology units, where I developed a strong foundation in maternal-newborn care, patient advocacy, and compassionate support. My transition into full-time postpartum and newborn care was a natural calling. After years of walking alongside families in the hospital — including supporting patients through deeply vulnerable moments — I felt drawn toward the beginning of life, where I could nurture, guide, and empower mothers during one of their most transformative seasons. I bring a calm, reassuring presence into the home, along with strong clinical awareness, newborn expertise, and a deep respect for each family’s unique parenting style. I have cared for children from newborn through adolescence and am especially passionate about helping new mothers recover confidently, establish feeding routines, and feel supported both physically and emotionally. Families describe me as attentive, knowledgeable, nurturing, and trustworthy. It is an honor to support mothers as they heal, bond, and step into their new role with confidence. I would love the opportunity to connect and learn how I can best support your family during this special time.

To me the most important thing about this work is the human touch. Having grown up attending births in my family, I am a supportive, intuitive experienced doula who centers the whole family. You are the parent, not the patient to me. I focus on helping you move your body in ways that will help bring the baby down, using my hands, heart, and breath work at the center of my care. I have experience with many community births at home and in birthing centers (Simi Valley Birth Center and the Brooklyn Birthing Center), as well was with many hospital births in Los Angeles, Ventura, New York City, and Seattle. I am passionate about giving normal, humanizing service and advocacy to disabled and high risk parents to center your voice, needs, and access from start to finish. In order to provide a stronger service within the disability community, I work with a partner or group.

Working with Alison was a wonderful experience. From the beginning moments of telling her about my pregnancy through to the post natal experience, she showed her strong intuitive skills, used her sense of humor and was able to guide us through this wondrous process. Alison was especially helpful at offering clarity around my choices in labor and especially a strong supporter when I felt pressure from my team of doctors to take the epidural. Alison reminded me that I had a choice and that freed me to make the right decision for me. Alison was also adept at councelling my husband and I throughout our pre labor experience around the myriad of changes, emotions, wonders and fear that having a child brought up for us. She always provided a safe environment for us that was healing, engaging and fun. Alison used her intuition to guide us in working together as a couple and was able to read exactly what we needed individually and together. Alison used her own weatlth of knowledge from various areas in her life to support us and remind us of the constant flow that occurs in labor and in child rearing. This helped me to trust in the process; something I am not always great at! Her kindness and ability to be present and focused was an immense help to me in the delivery room. From talking a family member away from the delivery room, to navigating doctors, to coaching my husband to helping me and giving me space when needed was amazing. I happily and whole heartedly recommend Alsion to work with as a birthing partner and aly on the birth journey.

Los Angeles birth doula, Pasadena birth doula, postpartum doula, lactation educator, and childbirth education support for families who want thoughtful, steady care through pregnancy, birth, and early postpartum. I support clients giving birth in hospitals, birth centers, and at home across Los Angeles and Pasadena. My approach is calm, evidence-based, and holistic. I help you sort through options, understand what matters most to you, and prepare for birth in a way that feels clear,, and personal. Families often say they feel calmer, more confident, and more connected when we work together. Rather than focusing on what birth should look like, I help you tune into your own values, preferences, and needs so you can move through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with more trust in yourself and your choices. In addition to birth and postpartum doula care, I also offer childbirth education and lactation support to help families feel more prepared and supported as they welcome their baby.

Hiring Rebecca Belenky was the best decision I made for the births of my children. Rebecca attended two of my births: an unmedicated birth at Huntington Hospital in Pasadena and a home birth. What stands out most to me, aside from her remarkable steadiness and extensive knowledge, was her ability to help me hold boundaries while remaining kind and respectful of the other members of the care team. In the intensity of labor, it can be difficult to stand up for your choices, but Rebecca stayed acutely attuned to my needs and wishes and helped communicate them to the team. Thanks to Rebecca, I had the confidence to focus on myself and my babies, and I had beautiful, joyful birthing experiences. I strongly recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for an calm, attentive, evidence-based advocate.

IF I COULD GIVE HER 10 stars i would Desiree is amazing. Having her as our overnight nanny made such a difference during those exhausting newborn weeks. Knowing someone so caring and experienced was taking care of our baby while we got some much-needed sleep gave us so much peace of mind.I would recommend her to any family looking for someone they can trust with their newborn. She is kind, reliable, and truly has a gift for caring for babies. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family.

— Erica C., review of ELSY Melara July 2026

I truly don’t even know where to begin because words don’t feel adequate to describe what Nicole has meant to our family. From the very beginning of my pregnancy through labor, birth, and now postpartum, she has been there every step of the way. She checked in on me constantly, always making sure I was okay physically and emotionally. She wasn’t just someone I hired—she became family. At no point did our relationship ever feel like a business transaction. It felt deeply personal, genuine, and full of love and care. I honestly don’t know how she’s able to be so available, but somehow she’s always just one text or phone call away. No matter what came up, she always had a resource, solution, or piece of guidance. Whether it was prenatal exercises (which actually helped turn my baby from a malposition less than 2 weeks before delivery!), postpartum questions, breastfeeding support, emotional encouragement, or simply someone to talk to, she always knew exactly what I needed. She also helped me through so many stressful life events that weren’t even pregnancy-related. She offered wisdom through interpersonal situations, helped me process emotions, and was a steady source of support during one of the biggest seasons of my life. She truly says, “You’ve got me for life,” and after experiencing her care firsthand, I believe she means every word. Nicole has such a special gift for empowering moms. She created a birth plan that respected every one of my personal wishes. During my high-risk pregnancy, she helped me advocate for myself and even advocated alongside me in the hospital. She never pressured me into making any decisions, never made me feel judged, and always presented information in a way that helped me make confident, informed choices about my own care. Her knowledge of the Kaiser system was invaluable. She was incredibly professional while also being warm and personable. She communicated seamlessly with the nurses and doctors, knew how to navigate the hospital environment, and helped make what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable. Everything up to that point had shown me she was an exceptional doula, but watching her during labor showed me why she was born to do this work. Labor itself is where Nicole became absolutely priceless. My contractions started around 3:00 in the morning, and from that moment on, Nicole was right there with me—even before we left for the hospital. We stayed in constant communication by phone and text while she timed my contractions through an app, talked me through each wave, answered my questions, and helped me determine when it was finally time to head to Kaiser. We arrived at the hospital around 7:00 AM, and she arrived just minutes later, ready to jump in and support us. When my contractions became incredibly intense, I genuinely don’t know how I would have gotten through the pain—or honestly, the entire labor experience—without her. While I was crying through contractions, she remained calm and grounded. She adjusted the lighting to create a peaceful environment, coached my breathing, used comfort techniques to help manage my pain, and stayed completely focused on helping me cope until I was finally able to receive my epidural. She also communicated my needs to the hospital staff and helped advocate for quicker pain relief when I needed it most. Having someone so calm and compassionate by my side made all the difference. In the middle of one of the hardest days of my life, she became my calm. From that point on, she stayed with us the entire day and didn’t leave until nearly 11:00 PM, after I had finally been transferred to my postpartum room—and only after making sure I was already scheduled with a lactation consultant. That’s the level of care she provides. She doesn’t just show up for the birth; she walks with you through every step until she knows you’re truly taken care of. Everything she recommended throughout my pregnancy helped prepare me for labor. Her advice was practical, evidence-based, and incredibly reassuring. I truly felt like I could trust her. All I had to do was listen, and she helped make the entire process go as smoothly as possible. Even now, she continues to support me through postpartum with the same compassion, encouragement, and availability she’s shown from the beginning. I genuinely feel like I’ve gained a close friend and another member of our family. Nicole has the right heart for this work. Not everyone can be a doula, but this is absolutely her calling. She has a rare gift for caring for women and families during one of the most vulnerable seasons of their lives, and it shows in everything she does. She is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, professional, and selfless. I could honestly go on and on. If you’re wondering whether hiring a doula is worth it, let me tell you this: you don’t know what you need from a doula—but Nicole does. She anticipates needs you didn’t even know you had, and once you’ve experienced that kind of support, you’ll wonder how anyone ever gives birth without one. I fully plan to continue using her services even after my insurance-covered visits are over because her care is simply priceless. There are very few investments you’ll make during pregnancy that have this kind of impact, and I can say without hesitation that she is worth every penny. I believe God brought Nicole into our lives for a reason, and I will always be grateful that He did. You will not regret choosing Nicole.
