About Me

Hi my name is Ilana – Full-Spectrum Doula | Serving San Diego County. As a dedicated Full-Spectrum Doula serving San Diego County, I bring a holistic, nurturing approach to supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives. With experience across hospitals, birth centers, and home birth settings, I provide personalized, client-centered care that leaves families feeling informed, empowered, and truly supported.

My work goes beyond birth support—it’s about preparing the mind and body for labor while nourishing the soul in the postpartum period. I offer comprehensive services including lactation support, meal preparation and nourishing home-cooked meals, bodywork for labor preparation, and intentional movement practices that foster a healthy, connected pregnancy. Through thoughtful birth and postpartum planning, I help families move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace of mind. I’m passionate about the small details that make a meaningful difference—guiding new parents through newborn care basics like diapering and swaddling, offering stage-specific nutrition support, and holding steady, compassionate space for emotional well-being. My goal is to create an experience where families feel seen, heard, and deeply cared for—physically, emotionally, and practically.

Every path to parenthood is unique, and I honor that by offering care that adapts to your individual needs, values, and preferences. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth or settling into life with a newborn, I am here to walk beside you with warmth, knowledge, and respect. Motherhood begins the moment that little test reads “yes”—and it deserves compassionate, informed support every step of the way.
