Now, as the owner of this amazing team of doulas, I'm proud to be able to extend this support to even more families, helping them feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way.

birth and postpartum doula Cori of The Breezy Doula
  • Hi, My name is Cori!

    I am a Birthing and Postpartum Doula, as well as assisting in Lactation support and your first 40 days of recovery.

    I am born and raised here in Southern Orange County, have two kiddos with a hardworking husband and we love the sunshine and getting outside with the kids at every chance we can get! I feel like my personality stems from nature, sounds hippy but we are all connected through Mother Earth if you think about it. I think that’s why I hold so much passion for birth work and the new life it presents to all things around us. 

    My desire to becoming a birth worker started to grow when my daughter came into this world, but I didn’t tap into my maternal instincts of all the birthing possibilities until my second birth of my son. The empowerment I felt with each birth, being vulnerable but also so deeply rooted within my own mind and body on what I had just accomplished blossomed a confidence so trustworthy that this new walk of life into motherhood was going to be absolutely life changing! And I wanted to share it. I understood how much passion I had to pay it forward to ensure that every woman should feel confident in her self, her birth story, and motherhood- regardless on how you birth your child. Not only are you birthing new life to your baby, but to yourself as a mother as well. I believe your birth story shapes and defines yourself as a mother and it is my goal as your doula to ensure you feel confident in that. 

    The most amazing gift of being a doula is being the advocate and emotional support for women while they are in the biggest transformation of their life, whether they are bringing their first child into this world as a new mother or a seasoned mother for her last baby, to be in the same presence of this magical moment is a true honor and is so important. It is my sole purpose as your birthing partner to take the worry, self doubt, and fear, of “can I do this?” To “I CAN do this”. Helping you feel confident in your birth.

    Hi there!

    I’m a birth and postpartum doula with a deep love for supporting families through one of the most transformative times in their lives. My path began after chiropractic school, inspired by my mom who has also been a doula for many years. I’m know for being very intuitive, hands on, and positive. Birth work feels like a natural extension of who I am.. I’ve always been a nurturer at heart, drawn to helping others feel safe, heard, advocated and cared for. I truly believe in mind body connection and that every birth is unique and sacred. It is the greatest honor each time I’m invited to be part of a family’s story.

    In addition to doula care, I offer childbirth education, placenta services, and belly binding, with an approach that blends holistic support and practical guidance. Whether it’s helping you find confidence in early parenting, offering gentle structure for newborn sleep, or simply bringing calm and reassurance into your space, my goal is to meet you exactly where you are. I’m here to support and guide you without judgment, and to help make your journey into parenthood a peaceful, empowered, and memorable experience. I happily welcome every family with an open heart and provide care rooted in compassion, respect, and genuine connection.

DONA certified birth doula Kalista of The Breezy Doula
  • Hi Everyone! 

    My name is Kalista and I am a DONA Certified Birth Doula, Belly Bind Specialist and Placenta Specialist based in Whittier, CA! I am currently serving LA County, Orange County, and parts of the Inland Empire. 

    In my every day life, I own an all natural body care business and I am a Sound Bath Healer. From the time I was 16, I was always interested in helping myself and others heal! First, this manifested itself when I launched Botanical Bliss; my chemical free body care line, made from pure and natural ingredients. After creating a business that helped to heal people from the outside in, I wanted to dive into something even more holistic and spiritual; Sound Bath Meditation. I have found both of these pursuits to be very rewarding in different ways and love being able to provide others with peace and serenity. 

    I have a deep passion to help and comfort women in all aspects of life, especially during a sacred time like pregnancy. I truly believe that when you don’t know what your options are, you have no options! Due to this, I believe it is super important to provide women and their families with the proper knowledge, education, and care in order to prepare for the best possible birth experience! 

    I have been blessed with the ability to help my family members welcome children into the world, as well as other families all around Orange County. I have experience in home births, birth centers, and hospital settings. You deserve to birth the way YOU want to!! Women have such a beautiful ability to bring life into the world and I want to assist in holding a safe space for you to flourish and embrace your divine feminine.

certified birth doula Michelle of The Breezy Doula
  • Certified Birth Doula

    Certified VBAC Doula

    Certified Loss, Stillbirth & Bereavement Doula

    Hello, I’m Michele!  My journey into birth work began with a simple desire: to help women feel heard, supported, and confident as they bring their babies into the world. I chose this path because I know personally how much support can change a birth story.

    I believe birth is not just a physical experience, but an emotional and spiritual one as well. Labor itself is hard work - it is raw and real and sacred - and I felt called to be someone who could walk alongside families with calmness, care, and compassion.

    My main focus is to hold space for families, through quiet reassurance, hands-on comfort, and informed advocacy - whether you're planning a hospital delivery or a home birth. Birth is more than a medical event — it is a turning point in a story and it is a privilege I don’t take lightly.

    I’ve been married to my high school sweetheart for 39 years, and together we’ve raised three sons who are now all grown up and living in different parts of the world. (which, I’ll admit, isn’t the easiest for me!) When I’m not attending births, you’ll usually find me hosting dinner parties in our beautiful garden, reading, hiking or cheering (enthusiastically and loudly!) for the Denver Broncos.

  • Location: Inland Empire

    Hi, I’m Amanda — a DONA Certified Birth Doula, trained Postpartum Doula, and Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator. I’m also a proud mother of six incredible children.

    My passion for birth work began long before I became a mother myself. I’ve always been deeply moved by the beauty, strength, and sacredness of birth. Becoming a mother only deepened that calling: each of my own births was unique, transformative, and taught me profound respect for the birthing process and for every woman who journeys through it.

    I believe every birthing person deserves to feel truly heard, supported, and empowered — whether you’re planning a hospital birth, home birth, or something in between. My goal is to help you feel confident, calm, and cared for every step of the way.

    As a Certified HypnoBirthing® Childbirth Educator, I also believe that knowledge is one of the most powerful tools we can offer birthing families. By blending evidence-based information with compassionate, individualized care, I strive to create a space where you can feel connected to your body, your baby, and your choices.

    I serve families throughout the Inland Empire and surrounding areas, and it would be an honor to walk alongside you during this beautiful and life-changing season.

    This work is truly my heart. Every time I’m invited into the sacred space of birth, I’m reminded of what a privilege it is — and I would be honored to support you on your journey.

    Hi, my name is Taylor Huerta and i live in Los Angeles County. My significant other and I have been together for 10 years and have a 5 year old daughter named Aubrey. Pregnancy for me was smooth sailing and I had an amazing pregnancy however when we had our daughter my boyfriend was back to work and I was alone with our baby. That sparked a curiosity in me. I was learning & going through all the waves of motherhood and I knew I didn’t want another mom to go through the same thing. So that’s when I took my DONA Certification training and became a postpartum doula. Now I serve families and provide that support as they navigate life with a new baby.

    After being a postpartum doula for some time and supporting many families, I wanted to expand my support as a birth doula. I completed the DONA certification training and am working towards full certification, which will be completed in 2025.

    Before I even knew what a doula was, I found myself naturally supporting friends through pregnancy, birth, and those early, overwhelming days of new motherhood. It felt like something I was meant to do, even if I didn’t have a name for it yet. When I finally discovered the role of a doula, I knew I had found my life’s calling.

    I’ve been serving families since 2018, and in that time, I’ve supported a wide range of birth and postpartum experiences including home births, hospital births, first-time parents, and families welcoming twins. Every story is different, and every family deserves to feel seen and supported through theirs.

    Growing up in a big, close-knit family taught me the power of showing up for each other — and that sense of connection is at the heart of everything I bring to my work. I combine a holistic approach with evidence-based knowledge, emotional support, and a deep respect for each family’s unique journey.

    My hope is to help you feel grounded, confident, and truly supported — in your choices, your experience, and your own incredible strength.
