I am a member of the Doula Program at Providence Little Company of Mary in Torrance, where I am working alongside doulas, OBs, Nurses, and other birth professionals to bring more knowledge and support to families birthing in a hospital. I'm also working as a Class Facilitator at The Nest in Hermosa Beach, a wonderful source for new parents, offering Parent-and-Me Classes and Lactation Support Groups.

Employer Reviews

Denise was my postpartum doula and was such a joy to have with my newborn for the first 4 weeks.  As a first time mother, I was extremely nervous about my postpartum care and how to take care of an infant.  Denise was so helpful on things we should do, products we might like, and general questions we had around sleeping, breastfeeding, and feeding the baby.  I appreciated her weekly check-in's pre-baby and overall organization.  She was a welcome relief in the morning after long nights with the baby.  I can't recommend her enough!
