My name is Stella (she/her) and I’m a Birth and Postpartum Doula and Lactation Educator in Los Angeles, California with strong ties to Washington State. I am eager to support you with evidence-based information, intuitive decision-making, bodily comfort, nervous system co-regulation, and tenderness throughout your pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Trauma informed and judgement free, my role is to provide psychological, educational, and physical support while advocating for your needs and desires throughout any aspect of your prenatal, labor + birth, postpartum, or lactation-related experiences. I have an enduring personal history in birth-work and movement/dance, and a strong belief that birthing people deserve the care, information, and support they desire. I am passionate about this work, and eager to assist you in getting the resources you need, whether that be working with me or providing sufficient referrals. <3 As a queer person, I am eager to support queer, trans, and gender non-conforming families through their pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum journies. <3 Some things I like are writing poetry and reading books, going outside and laying in the sun like a lizard, trying a new craft, listening to Britney Spears, baking something and putting cardamom in it, learning about ecology and religious philosophies, making lists, going to estate sales, being kind to strangers, and looking at the stars when camping.

As your birth doula, I will be on-call leading into your birth and attend your full birth to act as constant psychological, physical, and emotional support. Before your birth, we will meet a desired number of times to establish a relationship, discuss comfort measure preferences, build some birth intentions, fill any childbirth education gaps you have, and prepare for your labor and early postpartum period!
