From the moment we found out we were expecting our first baby, we knew we wanted extra support--especially being far from family. After speaking with several doulas, Sherry immediately stood out. Her energy was exactly what we needed: warm, grounded, knowledgeable, and compassionate. She brought a calm confidence that made us feel instantly at ease, while also being firm and clear when it came to advocating for our needs--especially in navigating communication with the hospital. One of the most valuable lessons we learned from Sherry was how to reframe our birth plan as birth preferences. That mindset shift allowed us to embrace the twists and turns that inevitably came, and Sherry guided us through every change with grace and reassurance. What truly set her apart was how she prioritized not only my experience as the birthing person, but also how our baby's arrival would affect my husband and our partnership. She helped us grow stronger as a team. Sherry's support didn't stop at birth. In those tender postpartum days, she continued to show up with the same care--offering both a helping hand and a listening ear when I just needed someone to hold space for what I was feeling. We truly can't thank her enough for the love, strength, and guidance she gave us during such a transformative time. Sherry is a gift, and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side. She is, without a doubt, the best. With love, Dayna, Ryan, and Baby Ozzie

My wife and I picked Sherry from a list of doulas because she aligned with our birth goals. She is extremely knowledgeable and and just a joy to have around. She's fierce when it matters and will always look out for your best interest which is especially needed in a hospital setting. No amount of studying will prepare you for what you will experience emotionally in a hospital, so it was amazing having Sherry there in our corner to guide us through some of the tough situations we encountered along the way. We went in feeling like we hired a professional, but by the end, she was much more than that. She had become a close friend that was with us every step of the journey. I highly recommend her to everyone, especially if you are first timers like we were.

Sherry with our little one!

It's hard to summarize the life changing impact Sherry has had on our family in a short testimonial but I'll try! As soon as we got pregnant, we knew we wanted support and luckily we were referred to Sherry by close friends. We had 3 prenatal sessions and 1 postpartum session (birth included) with her. From the first call, Sherry was warm, inviting, and non-judgmental. For two people who really didn't know what they wanted, Sherry created the support and path to build our confidence. Every session, she spent 2-4 hours in our home doing various exercises - spinning babies, body work, mental/emotional prep, information sharing (and much more!). Every session was catered to our needs and questions, she let us lead the way for our journey. The prenatal sessions were so comforting and meaningful for both my husband and I. Through her teaching, she empowered him to know how to support me and own his space as a father through birth. When my water broke at midnight, my husband immediately texted Sherry. She supported him through my contractions, getting to the hospital, and even advocating for my pain management until she arrived. While in the hospital, she served as an advocate for me and never left my side. She worked so well with the nurse and collaborated to make sure we were doing what's best for my labor. Sherry supported me through every second of 90 minutes of hard pushing through coaching, water, breathing, and words of encouragement. She was my rock through labor and her voice was an anchor. I truly do not think I could have gone through labor so strongly without her! Her postpartum visit with us was equally as valuable as every other visit. We talked through my birthing experience, she binded my belly, put me in a steam bath to help my milk come in, supported breastfeeding etc. She was a welcome sight after being at home for the first time with a newborn! While it's true that Sherry is incredibly knowledgeable about all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum related, it's her love for this work that really shines. She brings every family into her heart and creates such a safe space for your family to really embrace such a transformational journey. I could keep going but for now I'll just say, we will forever be grateful for her support and love bringing our daughter into this world!

I would like to address the review that said Jana used a false testimonial. She is the most trustworthy, open, honest, person I know and under no circumstances would she ever do or make anyone feel or write a false testimonial. She has educated and loved hundreds of woman and I have never heard not one complain about her. She has one of the most kind hearts you can imagine. Just trust in your heart and take her class and you will see how kind she is. You will not be disappointed. I have taken her classes. I have done the birthing class and doula training. Jana only has love to give. She's a beautiful soul. Im sure the hundreds of woman will agree. Regarding the dogs she is very aware and asks everyone about the dogs. If it bothers or annoys anyone she handles it. She is not insensitive. Throughout the whole class she is on top of the dogs behavior. The bottom line is if you want to be really informed go to Jana's class because you won't be disappointed. Your birthing experience will be much better in my eyes because you will be so much more informed because of the knowledge that Jana teaches you. Trust your heart not one bad review. Love you Jana. Your the best.

The vibe was calm and expert. With decades of collective experience across hundreds of doula's in their network, Cheryl and Khefri taught it and you just felt their commitment to your eventual birthing experience and that this was their passion in life. They are accessible and show up for you like someone who would do this good work for free because they love sharing their superpower for the good of you and your family. And people would and should pay them millions for the service and everlasting memories they empower us to have, truly a unique and life changing experience and partnership. I got a recorded meditation that I literally listened to 100 times everytime I rested or took a bath. Come time for go time, it all fell into place. They instilled in us that we are not sick, or needing external help to give birth - I truly felt that our bodies know what to do, are built to do this, and that it's a natural and easy process - not something to fear, resist, fight, or try to make go away ie the contractions are our bodies doing a job and nothing to be afraid of. In fact, what if we embraced, allowed for, and appreciated the power of the body and our spirits to see this process through? Khefri's newborn class was incredible. We did a one on one. She gave us a literal list with links if needed, of what to buy if you are having a baby lol! What you'll need within the first 2 weeks. She showed us how to swaddle and bathe, hold and care for a newborn. I attended some of Khefri's kundalini yoga sessions for expecting mothers. It was so soothing and power inducing that I ended up playing the playlists during my 6 hours of labor. I was an over 40 first time mother. With Khefri (doula) and LA Birth Partners (class) and Birthfit (fitness) and LA Midwives as my partners - we had a successful and easy home birth as well! Though all the practices we could easily have tried at the hospital. In fact, a few months ago, I assisted my sister in her first birth as well. We did it at the hospital but was able to get contractions started naturally, used calming homeopathics and techniques (like birthplan on the door, don't ask me if I need pain meds I'll tell you, candles, cover bright machinery and lower beeping, etc). We could not have done it without Khefri! Literally, we did our last class from the hospital room. Then after the class ended, Khefri became available by text and phone to help us through the contractions! We had questions about the homeopathics, dosing etc to try to start the contractions naturally. She helped with all of it! I can't thank her enough, she went above and beyond, sharing love and support and expertise even more than any actual family members! You feel like you owe so much to these amazing doula's who believe in and know what's possible with a birthing experience. Even someone like me who'd never even seen a birth before, was able to have a homebirth when our western doctors were more than ready to receive us as geriatric mothers at the hospital. None of it was necessary. And we knew that, because we kept on top of medical visits etc leading up to the big day.

She was experienced and knowledgeable, answered our questions, gave recommendations, resources, and context, and we could not be happier with the experience. The office was quiet, clean, free from distractions, and the environment was comfortable and inviting. My wife had a few fears/concerns about being a first time mother, but after the class she's feeling much more comfortable now that she's equipped with so much context and information.

Both classes were led by Barbara and Corgi, who were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and relatable. From the moment we walked in, they made everyone feel comfortable and welcome. What I appreciated most was how interactive the classes were. They encouraged lots of questions and really engaged with the group, which made the experience feel personal rather than overwhelming. They struck the perfect balance of being informative while keeping things fun and lighthearted. So much information can be stressful but the way it was presented was easy to digest. I loved doing it with my partner and think it was such a great way to get him more involved in this process that can lean so heavily on the mom. Beyond just the classes, The Pump Station offers so much! Mommy and Me, classes for Grandparents, Car Seat Installation, Stroller consultation. They also have a great gift store and registry program!

More importantly, their website said the stroller I wanted was in stock and available in 4 hours for pickup, but when I got there it wasn't available for purchase and it had to be ordered. When I brought it up to the cashier, he said it was because they have it in store their inventory but not at the store? Huh?? After doing more digging I saw there was a "Terms and conditions" asterisk in fine print you have to click on to find out this information. All I saw was the green check mark that says "In stock and ready for pick up in 4 hours." Any other place I have ever been to- this would mean it would be in stock at the store. When I brought up, calmly, that this was confusing and they should fix it because I drove two hours to get to the store. The cashier said nothing. Not a "Aw geez, I'm sorry. I can understand your frustration and why that's confusing." I'm a reasonable person. I've worked in customer service all my life. The demeanor of the cashier alone has put me off from ever visiting this store again or recommending it. We went to Uppababy a few blocks down and they were SOOO kind that it completely made my day. All I needed was some kindness. To the owners of the Pump Station- the people using your website are most likely VERY tired moms. I personally am getting 3-4 hours of sleep a day. Tired moms need clear signage if something is in stock or not. Time is precious in this season of life. We also need KINDNESS. My body is broken and recovering from giving birth. I am exhausted! I would expect a place who sells baby items to understand this. Overall, would never recommend this place and will tell everyone I know that it was an awful experience.

We joke that he didn't just learn about the natural birth process he learned how to be my "daddy doula". We still enjoy talking to people about everything we learned and how to support each other and how to speak to your doctors or the hospital nurses. Even if you aren't considering a natural birth these classes should be taken by everyone expecting a baby. You learn about the body, you learn about the different stages of labor, how to prep your body and your mind. There is even a class on breastfeeding which was invaluable those first 3 days postpartum. Lia is also an amazing teacher. If I have another I would definitely also hire her as my doula. She is a person you want in your corner during birth.
