About Me

Hi, I'm Sounisra! I'm a doula serving families across Southern California, with additional training in lactation and certification as a Lactation Consultant coming soon. I also offer placenta encapsulation services for clients who want added support during their postpartum recovery.

My background includes training with the Sankofa Birthworkers Collective and Ground Beginnings BIPOC Community Doula Training, where I learned to provide culturally-rooted, trauma-informed, and family-centered care. This foundation shapes everything I do—my approach is non-judgmental, trauma-informed, and centered on each family's values and cultural practices.

I have supported first-time parents, single mothers, plus-size clients, families managing diabetes, and those facing mental health challenges or high-risk pregnancies. No matter the situation, I walk beside each family with respect, patience, and encouragement. I walk beside my clients, not in front of them—because this is your journey, and you are the expert on your own body and family.

My goal is always to ensure that every birthing person feels supported, informed, and never alone during their prenatal, birth, and postpartum journey. My hope is that every family I serve feels seen, respected, and strengthened long after my support ends—and that they always remember they were never alone.
