About Me

Hi, I'm Barbara, a certified birth doula dedicated to providing continuous, compassionate care for families through pregnancy, labor, delivery and postpartum. I began my journey after having my own 3 beautiful daughters and realizing what an incredible blessing and miracle childbirth is!! After retiring from my teaching career, I was able to follow that longtime passion and I became a birth Doula in 2018.
I became a birth doula because I believe that birth is an absolute miracle and an amazing journey, and I wanted to dedicate myself to helping others have a positive, empowering experience. Combining professional expertise with a deeply warm, nurturing approach, I offer a calming presence, evidence-based education, and tailored physical comfort techniques for your unique labor experience.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that there is no single "right" way to give birth—only your way. My goal is to empower you to feel confident, informed, and completely supported as you navigate childbirth. I am passionate about ensuring you and your family feel fully heard, physically comforted, and emotionally sustained as you welcome your new baby into the world.

Population Experience

I have experience with home births, birth center and hospital births throughout Orange County! I also have experience supporting single, low income and teen moms through my volunteer work at the Joy in Birthing Foundation.
