    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.

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.

    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.

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.
