Hello 🧔 My name is Priscilla and I am bilingual in spanish. I majored in Human Services with the intention of assisting mothers. I am also trauma informed. Having a Bachelors led me into becoming a certified Lactation Counselor. Hearing my mothers stories from their birth trauma, experiences within the medical system, has led me to receive my doula certification in order to be a better asset to service my families. I decided to take the Doula workshop under DONA due hearing my previous prenatal and postpartum clients stories. My desire is to come along families in order to assist them with the birth they desire from providing information and support for their birth journey. I have six years being in the home visiting program (my career), over a decade in the mental health space and currently working towards my International Board Certification Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) certification.

I am a traveling prenatal and postnatal Doula providing services in San Bernardino Riverside, San Diego, and Los Angeles counties in Southern California. I believe that every person needs and deserves support during the transition into parenthood and I am here to hold space and care for you in the time before and after birth. I am dedicated to ensuring that you feel seen, heard, and cared for during that transition so you can approach your role as a new parent with confidence and a deep sense of self-trust.

Marr is the best doula! She provided the best experience. She scheduled appointments through zoom, even came to my Obgyn appointment, came home after delivery. She was always in touch via messages, answering my questions. She was helpful with lots of information such as yoga exercises, breathing techniques. She guided me during contractions through messages as well. And she did her best at the hospital itself. I felt so heard when she was there for me. She was like a relative and a medical worker at the same time. Without her help I couldn’t breathe even. I felt her support entirely. Thank you so so much I love you

Every birth and every family is so unique and deserves the space and respect to navigate that journey. Educating yourself, finding the best people to be apart of your birthing team, and uncovering your births hopes and dreams are so important in helping you achieve your ideal birth. This is your birth and I am here to help you navigate it. I strive to create a positive, non-judgmental, and inclusive experience for every birthing environment I am welcomed into.

I cannot say enough positive and kind words about Sharlene! Her support and guidance were exactly what I needed during so many ups and downs of my pregnancy. This was my second birth, my redemption birth. From our first meeting, I knew she understood my husband and my trauma from our first birth, our goals for this birth, and what we desired and needed. This started with her encouraging and validating my decision to change OBs at 28 weeks. She wrapped her supportive arms around us as we were monitored extensively at the end by a specialist. She answered every message with such grace, always saying just what I needed. She advocated for us before we even got to the hospital and I looked to her throughout. Sharlene, my husband, and new OB made up my dream team and curated my redemption birth. I am overwhelmingly grateful to have had her in my corner, then and always.

I’ve been teaching the Bradley Method of Natural Childbirth since 1995. My goal is to help you replace the fear and unknown about pregnancy, labor, and birth with knowledge. I have a passion for helping guide you to find your best birth. You might be feeling exactly the same way I did 30 years ago. SCARED! When I was pregnant the first time, I was absolutely terrified. I didn’t really know I was terrified because I was in denial! I was blessed to learn about The Bradley MethodĀ® of Natural Childbirth. My teacher and the Bradley MethodĀ® transformed my whole experience of pregnancy, labor, and birth. The knowledge I got in my childbirth classes replaced the immense fear I had surrounding birth and even parenthood. I’d like to help you find your vision for your own ideal birth. I found such a profound strength and power through my birth experiences of my daughter and then my son. It lit such a passion in me to help parents-to-be have safe, healthy birth experiences. I’ve been teaching since 1995.

I highly recommend taking Liza Janda’s BradleyĀ® childbirth classes. She is an experienced knowledgeable instructor who has personally had two BradleyĀ® births. Her class has games and is interactive. She teaches about natural childbirth and ways to avoid an unnecessary cesarean. She has been teaching for over 25 years and has provided hundreds of couples with information to have the best birth possible. Knowledge is power. Take Liza’s BradleyĀ® classes to get empowered.

From day one, my doula was amazing she was — on time, super knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely present. She didn’t just show up to do a job; she showed up for me. She listened, supported, and made me feel seen through my high-risk pregnancy and delivery. When things got tough postpartum and I ended up with a severe infection, her nursing background was everything. She helped me navigate that scary time with so much care and confidence. Honestly, she felt like family — the kind of calm, nurturing energy every mom deserves. I mean she drove to the hospital at 1am to visit me when I was 4 weeks postpartum at the drop of a dime when I sent at SOS text (I knew she cared but this was next level) If she’s available next time, I’m 1000% booking her again. Couldn’t recommend her more. I delivered at Loma Linda and they were very doula friendly.

Birth and babies are my passions. I started the journey to becoming a birth doula shortly after having my second baby, Colton. My first and second births were completely night and day. My first baby, Caleb, was an incredibly long and strenuous labor; a total of 72 hours. With my second, however, I was only in labor for a total of 25 hours, which still is very long, but not by comparison. I owe a lot of that to my amazing birth team I had for my second birth, which included a midwife and doula support, and the education I gained throughout my pregnancy on how to prepare my body for birth. I believe in a holistic approach to birth. I don't think birth should be treated as a medical emergency until proven that it needs to be. Birth is a natural, beautiful thing, and while modern medicine absolutely has its place, I don't think it automatically belongs in every birth space. That said, I support every way to give birth, because in the end you're the only one in control. If you want an epidural, membrane sweep, Pitocin, all the drugs, I will absolutely support your decision. Or if you want to deny all cervical checks, do intermittent monitoring, and have your baby in the tub, that's great by me too! My priority as your doula would be to give you access to all the information you need to make well informed choices and give you the support you need to make your birth experience exactly what you want

I’ve always been a doula, a giver, a sister, a person to lean on. I love all aspects of what I do, whether it’s physically holding hips or emotionally holding space. Within my practice I try to achieve a 50:50 balance of the spiritual, energetic with the scientific, evidence-based. As I learn more about you, our conversations shift to augment the type of support that best resonates with you and supports your goals. I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through DONA (Doulas of North America) and ToLabor. I have attended many births in various settings - homebirths, birth centers and hospitals. I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, spinning babies, breastfeeding, postpartum, newborn care and holding space for pregnancy loss. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you are

I am a certified doula providing continuous physical, emotional, and informational support to my clients, before, during, and after labor in the Los Angeles and Kern Counties. I believe all ways to birth (vaginally, medicated, caesarean birth, etc…) are legitimate and should be honored as birth experiences. I feel Partners of people giving birth should also feel supported and empowered during labor and birth. I will honor medication preferences during labor and birth. I will be there to educate and encourage your postpartum feeding preferences whether it is (bottle feed, breastfeed, formula feed, or using donor milk).

I'm a traditional birth doula, birth photographer, and placenta encapsulation specialist. My heart is for serving and protecting women and babies. As a birth doula, I take a holistic approach to caring for mothers by providing nurturing guidance and hands-on support throughout pregnancy, birth, and immediately postpartum. I love helping women connect to their God given strength and wisdom. My own doula was instrumental in my peaceful HBAC (home birth after cesarean) which inspired me to become that support for other women. So here I am! I've said goodbye to my 9-5 and have committed to letting God guide me through serving families in my community during such a special time in their lives.

Jaymie knew exactly when to step in and when to step aside when helping me labor at home and then at the hospital. Our goal in hiring a doula was to enhance our birth experience and ensure our preferences were listened to - and Jaymie delivered. She was truly the anchor that held everything together. Money well spent.

hi! i was birthed into a mother 9 years ago and had an exceptional experience with a midwife & doula at a birthing center. it changed my life forever. after that, i became super passionate with educating women on their options for prenatal, labor, and postpartum. i created a guidebook for each and took a doula certification course during covid, so it was a weekend course and virtual. i still have my books to this day! i’m from a small town in south carolina where doula wasn’t widely known. i’ve helped friends along the way and am seeking to fulfill my passions in this realm here in orange county! i am a freelance artist as well specializing in many mediums. i’m so excited to meet you and provide all that i have to offer! šŸ‘©ā€šŸ¼šŸ¤°

Hello, my name is Shanna E. Stevens, and I am the heart and hands behind Pleasant Passage Doula. As a certified birth doula, mother of five, and grandmother, I bring not only professional training but also lived wisdom and compassion into every birth space I enter. My journey into birth work is rooted in a deep calling to support families through one of life’s most sacred transitions—with presence, encouragement, and care that honors the unique story of each family. I understand that birth is not just a physical experience—it is emotional, mental, and spiritual. My role is to hold space for all of it. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between, I meet you where you are and walk alongside you with steadiness and respect. I believe birth is a profound rite of passage that belongs to the birthing person and their family. My philosophy is grounded in three values: 🌿 Empowerment through knowledge – When families are informed, they can make choices that feel aligned with their values and desires. I provide evidence-based resources, practical tools, and gentle guidance so you feel confident in your decisions. 🌿 Unwavering support – Birth can be unpredictable, but you are never alone. I offer continuous emotional reassurance, comfort measures, and advocacy, ensuring your voice is heard and your needs are respected throughout the process. 🌿 Respect for your unique journey – No two births look the same. I honor your cultural background, preferences, and intuition. My goal is not to shape your birth into my vision, but to help you feel safe, seen, and supported in yours. It is my honor to walk beside families as they welcome new life. Every birth is sacred, and I consider it a privilege to witness your strength, resilience, and love as you step into parenthood.
