    I am so grateful for Yongyan Bella's support during my postpartum recovery. From the moment she started working with our family, she was caring, knowledgeable, and attentive to both my needs and my baby's needs. One of the highlights of Bella's care was the amazing food she prepared. Every meal was delicious, nourishing, and thoughtfully made to support postpartum healing and recovery. Having healthy, home-cooked meals during those early weeks made such a difference and allowed me to focus more on resting and caring for my newborn. I highly recommend Bella to any family looking for a postpartum doula. Her dedication, kindness, and exceptional care made my postpartum experience much smoother and more enjoyable.

    I had a great experience with Cooings. I just said goodbye to my Doula and wish that she could stay longer. At first, my husband was suspicious about having somebody with us all the time. But through our interaction with cooings team and also our doula, he was amazed, especially by the meals our doula made. I want to send a special shout out to my consultant, who was warm and quick and always answer my questions. We used some fertility benefits, and our consultant was really sophisticated about reimbursement and guide us through the process. Really love their concept about comprehensive support, and honestly do not know how I would do without my doula and Cooings.

    Hiring a postpartum doula from Cooings was truly one of the best decisions I made as a new mother. In my culture, the first month after giving birth--known as 坐月子(confinement) is all about rest, healing, and bonding with your baby, while slowly adjusting to life as a parent. My doula, Annie, made my postpartum journey in the most supportive and gentle way. From the very beginning, Annie cared for my baby with so much love and attention, giving me the space to rest and recover. She also made sure I was nourished physically and emotionally--cooking healthy postpartum meals tailored specifically to my body's needs. Beyond that, she became my biggest emotional supporter (aside from my husband!). As a first-time mom navigating breastfeeding, I was worried about not producing enough milk. Annie reminded me that a happy and relaxed mom is key to a good supply. And she made sure I laughed every single day. We had so many joyful moments, chatting and laughing together, which makes me miss those days so much after she left What I appreciated most was how Annie always respected our parenting choices while gently offering guidance based on her experience. I never felt judged or overwhelmed (only supported). She also taught us how to bathe our baby and even gave her a soothing massage to help with gas. Fast forward our baby is now 10 months old, and my husband still bathes her the way Annie taught him (he's a pro now!). During the 26 days she stayed with us, I felt completely safe, seen, and cared for. Even after her service period ended, Annie came back to visit us a few times, because we told her how much we missed her home cooking! She knew how hard it was to find time to eat with a newborn, so she made us big batches of dumplings and froze them for later. That kind of thoughtfulness meant the world to us. Throughout the entire experience, the Cooings team was also incredibly responsive and supportive. Anytime I had a question, whether about baby care, breastfeeding, or postpartum recovery, they were just a message away. If you're an expecting parent looking for postpartum support, I can't recommend Cooings enough. it's an investment in your well-being, confidence, and peace of mind as a new family.

    My doula is sooo wonderful. Each day with her is such a treat. Was a bit skeptical at first but my consultant was really supportive and responsive, answered my questions very promptly. My doula was open-minded and respectful. She even created a special place for me for hair washing. She took such good care of me and is well experienced with breastfeeding and taking care of the baby. Highly recommend and would definitely use the service for my second.

    During my postpartum recovery, I felt weak and anxious, but my Cooings Care doula not only cooked wonderfully, she also cared for me like family. Her meals were nutritious, delicious, and made me look forward to every bite. Most importantly, she adjusted the menu based on my and my baby's needs, helping me with breastfeeding. Within a week, I was feeding successfully and my baby was always satisfied. I'm so thankful for her professionalism and kindness!

    We were lucky to have Yang as our doula. She was calm, professional, and took amazing care of both mom and baby. Our baby had some gas and latching issues, and Yang handled everything with patience and skill. She also cooked great meals every day and helped us around the house, a huge help for a new dad like me. Her presence made those early days so much less stressful. We're truly grateful for everything she did.

    I found Labor of Love by doing some of my own research online. And thank God I did! My doula,…read moreKaren, was my rock throughout my labor and was 100,000 percent amazing--I'll definitely be working with her for my second! A little backstory: I was overwhelmed and so nervous about finding "the one" person to be a part of the most important event of my life. After doing my research and reading through all these bios, I honestly was left feeling overwhelmed, especially knowing how indecisive I can be. I knew I just had to trust my intuition and my gut on this one! After looking at Karen's bio on their website, I had such a good feeling. Staci (the owner), who was super friendly and professional, helped me get connected with Karen, and I booked an interview right away! Karen was so sweet and asked me about my pregnancy experience so far. We discussed how I wanted my birth to go and any concerns I had. There wasn't any pressure to hire her, and it just felt like she was already invested in me, like I was already family. I even had her video chat with my husband to make sure we both felt comfortable and vibed well together--and we sure did! Overall, Karen ended up being the perfect balance of knowledge, experience, and professionalism. It was the most perfect amount of care I could have asked for. She was also such an advocate for my birth plan to work out. Before, during, and after my labor and birth, she was always naturally in tune with what I needed. She was never overbearing, worked so well with my husband, and gave him space to be a part of my support team as well. I am so grateful to have come across Labor of Love

My experience with Labor of Love was almost two years ago now but continues to upset me when thinking back on my experience. We hired Lauren as our doula, who made it clear she expected us to go far past my due date as a first time mom. While it's possible for that to happen, it didn't in my case. At 39 weeks and at 5am while in active labor and getting ready to head to the hospital, she let us know she had Covid. Her backup was Karen, who I wish we hired to begin with as she is far more caring and professional. Though unfortunately our experience still fell short and we ultimately delivered without Karen present. We were left feeling like we invested a lot of emotion and money into this process with ultimately no help. Staci has been incredibly rude to us since then and even revoked our access to watch her training videos, sending me a link to pay her once again when wanting to rewatch for our now second baby on the way. Karen herself even recommended we ask for a partial refund due to our experience, but Staci lacks the professionalism and courtesy to her clients. Truly mindblowing that she revoked access to the training videos after we had already paid for them. I would stay far away and recommend a more experienced and caring doula group.

She was one of the best decisions we made for our birth. From our very first prenatal appointment, she was so easy to talk to. She really took the time to listen to what I wanted for my birth and even typed it up for me. My biggest goals were to avoid an epidural and Pitocin if they weren't medically necessary, and she completely respected and supported those wishes. Our prenatal visits were incredibly thorough. We talked through my birth plan in detail, went over labor positions, and discussed different scenarios so I felt prepared going into labor. When she arrived at the hospital, she completely transformed the room. She turned off the harsh hospital lights, brought a light projector, and even set up an essential oil diffuser that made the room feel peaceful. It immediately created a calming environment that helped me relax. Throughout labor, she was an incredible advocate. At one point, Pitocin was started even though I had already declined it. Valerie caught it right away, spoke up, and voiced her concerns on my behalf. Having someone who was paying such close attention and advocating for my birth preferences gave me so much confidence. She also had so many helpful techniques to keep labor moving naturally. Whether it was changing positions, offering encouragement, or giving me tools like a spiky massage ball and a labor comb to squeeze through contractions, she always seemed to know exactly what I needed. Between contractions, she kept me distracted with conversation and helped me stay calm and focused. I truly believe her guidance and support played a huge role in helping me achieve the birth plan I had hoped for. What impressed me even more was that her care didn't end after delivery. She came to our home about a week postpartum to check on both me and the baby, answer questions, and make sure we were adjusting well. Valerie is kind, knowledgeable, calming, and an incredible advocate. She made me feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone looking for a doula who genuinely cares and will be by your side through every stage of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I received a prompt response based on our price range request. I also inquired with another company at the same time but they never replied. Thanks Dina!!

    I took Lia's childbirth class during my first pregnancy in 2023. I live in South Orange County, so…read morethe drive was a bit of a commitment, but it was absolutely worth it. Being in class with other expectant couples created such a supportive environment, and the course was incredibly comprehensive. It gave me the knowledge and confidence to navigate a hospital birth and make informed decisions about the many interventions that are commonly offered. At 38 weeks, my water broke unexpectedly while I was riding a stationary bike. I immediately reached out to Lia for guidance. Since I wasn't experiencing a fever or any signs of infection, she explained that I had options: I could either go to the hospital right away or stay home and wait for labor to begin naturally. She also educated me about the fact that the body continues producing amniotic fluid and that, in some cases, a small rupture in the membranes may even reseal. Knowing that going to the hospital before labor started would likely lead to an induction (which wasn't aligned with my goal of having an unmedicated birth) I chose to stay home and monitor myself. The night before my 39-week OB appointment, I was feeling anxious. I knew that if my provider confirmed my water had broken before labor had started, induction would almost certainly be recommended. I reached out to Lia again, and she suggested trying the Miles Circuit. I followed the stretches that evening, and to my surprise, I went into early labor around 1:00 a.m. Whether it was the Miles Circuit, my body simply being ready, or a combination of both, it gave me the confidence to keep trusting the process. In January 2024, I welcomed a healthy baby girl through the unmedicated birth I had hoped for. While my hospital experience was unfortunately traumatic, the education Lia provided made all the difference. There were many moments when my husband, my doula, and I had to advocate for my birth preferences, and it wasn't always met with respect. Without the knowledge and confidence I gained from Lia's class, I truly believe my birth could have unfolded very differently. I'm now pregnant with my second baby, and one of the first things I did was sign up to retake Lia's class. One of the biggest perks is that once you've taken her course, you can retake it as many times as you'd like for free. Childbirth education isn't something you only benefit from once, and I love having the opportunity to refresh everything I've learned before welcoming another baby. I'm incredibly grateful for everything Lia taught us. Her class empowered me to make informed decisions, advocate for myself, and approach birth with confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend her course to any expecting parents, especially those hoping for an evidence-based, physiologic birth. Even if you have to drive a little farther to attend like I did, it's worth every mile.

    We took Lia's virtual Bradley method class, and would highly recommend it for any expecting…read moreparents. First off, it can be hard to find time to take a birth class, and Lia chooses convenient times, with multiple options to choose from. It's a very comfortable classroom atmosphere where I felt good to ask any question, or add any comment. Lia keeps it fun and interesting, and is a great teacher. Lia is also available outside of class for questions, and she is super responsive. It shouldn't really matter if a doula has been pregnant herself.... But it was really helpful to hear about her first hand experiences and to know that she has gone through it all before. I just wish we in lived in LA so that we could have Lia as our Doula.

She delivered both my second and third daughters, and I truly wouldn't trust anyone else to guide me through a home birth. Every single visit felt so warm, loving, and filled with genuine care -- Lindsey makes you feel like family. One moment I'll never forget is when my second daughter was breech. In just one visit, Lindsey was able to gently turn her from a sideways position to facedown. That kind of skill and confidence gave me so much peace as a mom. My husband and I felt completely safe in her hands, knowing she was fully prepared for any situation. We're beyond grateful to have had Lindsey as our midwife.

First meeting with Lindsey was magical because she is so charismatic and she really made me feel comfortable around her environment and in my own skin. I have never felt so much love and support during my pregnancy as I did with her! She is an array of information. Any questions I had she answered. Leading up to my birth I made sure I stayed present in the moment and took it one step at a time. As soon as I knew something was happening my husband called Lindsey and she showed up right away letting me go through what I needed to. I can't express how grateful I was for all the love and support that was in that room that early morning. She lifted me up and made me feel so powerful and capable to bring my son into the world naturally. Lindsey is the kind of person you want by your side. Not just for your birth as a loving and caring midwife, but as a friend. She is a rockstar and I was so blessed to have had that experience with her. I would 100 percent do it over again and again.

It took 3 months, which was perfect for our timeline and what felt so fast for being on the pill for over 10 years. Megan knew I was pregnant the day I found out. She has incredible intuition and just so happened to text me minutes around the time I tested positive! I will always remember those 9 months of pregnancy fondly, especially because I had Megan checking in on me/us, letting me know what I can expect at certain doctor appointments, and always just being a text/call away for all of the random questions I had (I am located in Northern CA). The week of our due date, Megan continued to check in on us. Our baby was overdue, but I was never worried because Megan had taught me how normal that is. She even prepared me for what to expect from others: nonstop texts/calls of where the baby is, of course! Because Megan prepped me so well, I was ready for anything and didn't let anything or anyone get to me. I am so fortunate for her help with the expectation-setting; it really went a long way. Baby is now earthside and Megan continues to be there for us. She has made sure that things are going, like breastfeeding, labor and delivery recovery, and more, while making sure me and my husband's mental health are still alive and well! I have also attended a couple of the Friday meetup groups when I was in So Cal and seriously love them. It's such a great atmosphere and gathering of moms with their babies, getting to know each other and sharing their current "happies + crappies." They sometimes bring knowledgeable guests, like a pelvic floor therapist, too. Their baby gear swaps are also so great!
