The Concept
The concept of a "doula" isn't new. In the past this role may have fallen to a mother, favorite aunt or grandmother who sensitively guided the couple through the often overwhelming transition into parenthood. Today, birth and postpartum doulas operate in this same capacity, with a dedication to compassionate care and practical assistance, but have the addition of up-to-date professional instruction.

“Gina is one of the best doulas I’ve ever worked with! She’s so calm and naturally nurturing that both our sons connected with her very easily. She helped me immensely get through many difficult stages with my boys and is always supportive and offers advice! I love her so much and I’m so appreciative of her.”
About Gina
Born and raised in Canada, Gina felt the call of the warm weather and active lifestyle to bring her to Los Angeles. She made the move in 2013 and has since called LA home.
Before transitioning into her career as a postpartum doula, Gina studied marketing and worked in that field for many years.
Since a young age, Gina has always had a strong connection and love for newborns. She says, "there is no better feeling than being able to both emotionally and physically, support and nurture a mother and her baby as they begin their journey of a lifetime together." Transitioning to life with a newborn can be equally wonderful and overwhelming, and it brings Gina an immense amount of joy to provide her emotional support and helping hand!
With over eight years of experience in working with a multitude of different family situations and parenting methods, Gina is able to take a unique approach with each family. She believes that no one parenting style works for everyone -- Gina is passionate about finding an individualized approach that works for you and your family.
