More Than a Doula: Your Birth Bestie for Comfort, Education, and Faith-Based Support.
You are not alone. My commitment is rooted in friendship, service, and creating a supportive community for your family.
Hi, I’m Gia
Certified Doula and Childbirth Educator, Student IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant)
Your Power. My Commitment.
I am so happy you found your way here! As a mother who has experienced birth and postpartum, and as a professional guide for many others, I am uniquely honored to be considered for your journey.
I believe with every conviction that mothers hold the power and embodied wisdom to birth their babies. My purpose is to honor your intuition by supporting, advocating, and lifting you up throughout your entire perinatal experience.
As your Sister in Christ, I offer more than just support; I offer spiritual guidance. We approach your labor as an act of worship—leaning on prayer and rejoicing to reveal God's strength and love for you.
My Approach: Mind, Body, and Spirit
I provide continuous support from pregnancy through the delicate transition to motherhood. I serve as your Childbirth Educator, Birth Doula, and Lactation Specialist.
My comprehensive support begins with emotional preparation. As a Birthing From Within Trained Childbirth Educator, I teach interactive classes that are much more than informational sessions—they are workshops for the soul.
Together, we explore your inner resources: we tap into your intuition, cultivate deep self-compassion, and learn to face the unknown with courage, equipping you with tools to handle labor's intensity and navigate unexpected turns with confidence and peace.
I am currently completing the required 96 hours of clinical experience to sit for the rigorous IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) exam. This commitment ensures I provide you with the highest level of evidence-based, in-home lactation support—from achieving that first latch to solving complex feeding challenges.
My Philosophy: Honoring the MotherBaby Dyad
I intimately understand and uphold the crucial MotherBaby bond and believe in family-oriented care that follows natural instincts. This belief shapes every facet of my postpartum support and education:
Attachment Parenting: I educate and support families in honoring bonding practices such as breastfeeding, safe bed-sharing/co-sleeping, and babywearing.
Intuitive Care: I guide mothers in listening to their baby’s unique needs and embracing practices like elimination communication and gentle newborn care.
Holistic Recovery: I help mothers prioritize their own healing, recognizing that a supported mother is the foundation of a thriving family.
My goal is to support your family's unique rhythm and to ensure your start to motherhood is filled with confidence, peace, and deep connection.
What is a doula?
Your trained professional for continuous physical, emotional, and informational support during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Your knowledgeable, compassionate guide, offering comfort, advocacy, and support through labor and beyond.
As a doula, I walk alongside you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum—not as a medical provider, but as a grounded, unwavering presence. I’m here to hold space, offer comfort, and help you stay deeply connected to your body, your intuition, and your power. I don’t replace your partner, midwife, or OB—I support your entire team while centering you.
Doula Services
I’m honored to walk alongside women in the Inland Empire and surrounding areas as they reclaim birth as a sacred, instinctual rite of passage. Whether you're planning a home birth, birth center, or a hospital delivery, I offer grounded support, embodied education, and advocacy coaching to help you stay rooted in your power. I trust in the wild, physiological design of birth—and I honor your right to choose how that journey unfolds. Wherever and however you birth, I’m here to guide, protect, and hold space for you every step of the way.

"I wanted to thank you so much for being my doula and supporting me during my birth. Your massages, little details like the candles, jojoba oil and more added an extra touch of care I didn’t even know I needed but it was perfect. You created a relaxing environment that allowed me to feel calm and relaxed."
