1. The night, handled

You sleep. I care for your baby.

Through the night I handle diapering, soothing, feeding support, laundry, tidying up. I keep the nursery quiet and orderly so you wake up rested, in a calm home.

2. Gentle by design

I'm highly sensitive myself, so I work the way sensitive parents and babies need: low light, a soft voice, an u nhurried pace, and no unnecessary noise or fuss.

My care follows your family's values, culture, and way of parenting. This applies to first-time and experienced parents, single parents, LGBTQ+ families, and surrogate families.

3. Experience you can lean on

I've supported families since 2017, at home, in hospitals, and at birth centers, including high-needs pregnancies and postpartum mood challenges. When something feels unfamiliar at 3 a.m., I've usually seen it before.

4. Private, personal, and exclusive

I care for one family at a time and take a limited number of families each season. Once you book, your dates are held for you alone, and I never take on another family whose schedule overlaps yours.

Before the baby arrives, we talk through your preferences, your home, and your worries. I'll bring up what most parents don't think to ask about: night-feeding setup, a gentle sleep routine, the move to bottles, and helping pets adjust. When practical, I also offer an in-home prenatal visit 5 to 7 days before your due date, so we've met before your first night.

My role is non-medical. I never replace your doctor, midwife, pediatrician, or lactation consultant, but I'll help you reach the right one quickly.

​Not sure yet? Let's talk.

A free video consultation, with no commitment. Ask me anything and see if we feel right together.

Right now I'm booking due dates from November 2026 to April 2027.

About

About

Birth and the fourth trimester are threshold moments, often tender and disorienting. Being truly seen and gently supported matters more than being told what to do. When everything feels raw and unfamiliar, what helps most is having someone steady beside you who knows how to listen and respond with care.

I’m a DONA-certified birth and postpartum doula and a trained Newborn Care Specialist. I began this work in 2017, after a life-changing birth experience reshaped my understanding of what meaningful support looks like. Since then, I’ve offered calm, compassionate, judgment-free care tailored to each family’s needs.

My approach is rooted in the Birthing From Within philosophy and grounded in evidence-based care, with a focus on emotional wellbeing, informed decision-making, and respect for each family’s individual experience.

My specialty is overnight postpartum care. The quiet hours of the night can be the most vulnerable of all. While you sleep and heal, I care for your baby, so you can wake up rested and more like yourself.

I have a special place in my heart for sensitive mothers and sensitive babies. I’m highly sensitive myself, and I know how much a quiet room, a gentle voice, and a slower pace can matter.

I work with first-time parents, experienced parents, single parents, LGBTQ+ families, and surrogate families, and I have experience supporting high-needs pregnancies and families facing postpartum mood challenges. I work alongside your healthcare providers, and I offer birth support at home, in the hospital, or at a birth center, meeting you where you are, both physically and emotionally.

 I take a limited number of L.A. families each season.

If you’d like to talk, I offer a free Zoom consultation.

Nina doula at birthing center

Nina helped my husband and I experience a birth like no other!

It was our third baby, but the first time with a doula and midwives in a birthing center. I am so grateful for those incredible memories and all the pictures she took! I recovered much faster this time around!
