Bree Zaccaro owner and certified birth doula at The Breezy Doula

  • Hi, I’m Bree!

    I'm a mom of two, a proud fire wife, certified birth doula, childbirth educator, and the founder of The Breezy Doula.

    When I started The Breezy Doula in 2022, I had one simple dream: to make sure every mom felt supported. My own journey to motherhood included both heartbreak and two beautiful birth experiences, and it showed me the power of preparation, education, community and compassionate support.

    What began as one doula with a passion for serving families has grown into an incredible team that has supported hundreds of moms throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I'm also the creator of A Breezy Birth, an in-depth, on-demand childbirth education course that teaches families how birth works, comfort measures, labor positions, partner support, and so much more to help them prepare for birth with confidence.

    When I'm not supporting families, I love teaching childbirth education classes and hosting our monthly Bumps & Bubbly community for expecting moms. My mission has always been simple: to help every family feel informed, empowered, and truly supported as they welcome their baby.

    I welcome you with open arms into our breezy community.

    Welcome everyone!

    I’m a birth and postpartum doula. It’s been a true privilege to support families during one of the most important transitions of their lives. My goal is to make sure you feel supported, informed, and cared for—whether you’re preparing for birth or settling in at home with your baby.

    I’ve supported a range of birth experiences, including VBACs and unmedicated births, and I bring a calm, steady presence to every birth space. In the postpartum period, I provide practical, hands-on support, lactation guidance, and a balanced approach that combines evidence-based care with holistic practices that support your overall well-being. I’ve supported both single-baby and twin families, offering care that’s flexible and responsive to each situation.

    Whether this is your first baby or you’ve been through this before, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I’d be honored to be part of your journey and I look forward to connecting soon.

    Hi there!

    I’m a certified 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 known 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.

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.

  • Hi, I’m  Valerie DONA certified birth and DONA trained postpartum doula, Belly Bind Specialist, a mom of four, and what many of my clients affectionately call “the baby whisperer.”

    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.

    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.

    I’m a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula, belly binding practitioner, sleep consultant, and placenta specialist who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey into this work began by supporting friends through birth and postpartum while living the unpredictable life of a military family—an experience that taught me flexibility, compassion, and deep respect for the strength of parents.

    Before stepping into doula work, I served as a corrections officer, where I learned how to stay calm under pressure, read the room, and advocate fiercely for others. I now bring those same skills into the birth space and postpartum period, offering steady, confident support to families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, recovery, and the early days of parenthood.

    Once a city girl and now grounded by nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness. As a mom to two spirited boys and two lovable fur babies, I understand just how messy, magical, and transformative this season of life can be. From hands-on postpartum support and traditional belly binding, to evidence-based sleep guidance and respectful placenta services, my care is always rooted in consent, education, and non-judgment.

    Whether you’re preparing for birth, healing postpartum, or finding your rhythm with a newborn, I’m here to walk beside you—with knowledge, warmth, and unwavering support.

    Hello, I am Ella Blaise Thompson. I am a birth and postpartum doula serving families in San Diego. I believe in educating, empowering, and nurturing every family as they welcome new blessings! In addition to being a Doula, I am currently an IBCLC student at UCSD Extended Studies.

     For as long as I can remember, I have been captivated by protecting women's stories and voices. It was then I discovered that a doula supports families emotionally, educationally, physically, mentally, and continuously from pregnancy to birth, and far beyond into the postpartum period. It was then I knew that was what I was meant to do.  

    I believe in evidence-based, informed decisions to be honored in every birth and in trusting the physiological process in which babies enter the world. Balancing biology and the wonder of birth, postpartum, parenthood, and lactation does not have to be done alone. I look forward to all the families I will get the chance to walk alongside in the most tender seasons of life, with their own special place in my heart!

    Hi, I’m Alexis.

    I’m a birth and postpartum doula and a proud mom of two amazing kids. My journey into this work began with my own experience of becoming a mother. I went through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum feeling very much on my own at times, and it showed me just how deeply a woman needs support, reassurance, and someone truly in her corner during that season.

    That experience stayed with me and led me here.

    As a mom, I understand how vulnerable and powerful this time can feel all at once. The strength it takes, the emotions, the unknowns. I know what that feels like, not just professionally, but personally. Because of that, I care deeply about making sure no mom feels alone in it.

    When I’m with you, my goal is simple. I want you to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am there to help you breathe through the hard moments, remind you of your strength when you start to doubt it, and offer steady, calming support no matter how your birth unfolds. Whether that means hands-on comfort during labor, helping you understand your options, or simply being a quiet, reassuring presence, I am right there with you.

    I don’t believe there is one right way to give birth. I believe in your way. Your story, your choices, your experience.

    It would truly mean so much to me to walk alongside you during this time and support you as you bring your baby into the world and step into motherhood.
