Sharon Jensen-Cody, PhD
Birth Doula & Sleep Consultant
I’m Sharon & I share my life with my wonderful husband and our two amazing kids. My journey into birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for expectant parents that took hold of me at a young age when I witnessed my sister giving birth. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me.
With a PhD in Molecular Medicine, I made the decision to step away from the laboratory to pursue my calling in supporting expectant parents as they navigate the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, & postpartum. Eager to transition into the role of a Birth Doula, I've always been captivated by the marvels of pregnancy & the ability of the female body to nurture new life.
My mission as an evidence-based Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health & providing unwavering support to new parents as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys.
Additionally, as a certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, I am deeply dedicated to supporting parents in navigating the intricacies of their children's sleep patterns and behaviors. My passion lies in assisting families with any challenges their little ones may be encountering in relation to sleep, to provide rejuvenating rest you need and deserve.
I look forward to the privilege of being a part of your birth story and helping you navigate this extraordinary time in your life.
Chloe Hess
Birth & Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, Lactation Counselor
I’m Chloe! From a young age, I was often called the baby whisperer. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids & found joy in supporting families during those early stages of parenthood.
My passion for birth & babies truly deepened when I witnessed my mom’s birth experience. As an only child for 12 years, I had the unique opportunity to support her through that experience. When I became a big sister to five (including a set of twins!), I naturally stepped into a nurturing “mini mom” role. Welcoming newborn twins into our family gave me my first real exposure to overnight care. We had support during those nighttime hours, and I saw firsthand just how powerful and essential that kind of help is during such a big life transition. I initially set out to become a labor and delivery nurse. I earned my CNA license, worked at Children’s Hospital during college, and volunteered in the labor and delivery unit to gain hands-on experience wherever I could.
When it came time for me to welcome my own baby, I assumed my background would prepare me for a smooth experience. But to my surprise, my birth didn’t go as I had hoped. I realized how much I lacked in guidance, education, and confidence; and how much that matters.
That experience changed everything. It stirred a deep calling in me to support mothers more personally and wholeheartedly. I became a certified labor and postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and lactation counselor—roles that allow me to walk closely with families and help create the supported, beautiful experiences they truly deserve. I feel deeply called to this work, and it’s an absolute honor to walk alongside each family I serve.
Outside of doula life, I love spending time with my family. We enjoy being outdoors, camping, & traveling together. I’m also a woman of faith & trust God to guide me as I walk with families through one of life’s most meaningful seasons.
Janai Orr
Birth Doula , Postpartum Doula, CLC, CLE, CBE, Bellibind Specialist
I’m a mama to two beautiful girls who have shaped so much of who I am & the work I do. I felt called to birth-work after giving birth to my oldest 10 years ago & experiencing firsthand what it felt like to lack the support & advocacy I truly needed. That experience deepened my commitment to walking alongside families with compassion and presence.
As a doula, I’m known for my warm, grounding presence and for creating a safe and affirming space for the families I support. I blend evidence-based knowledge with intuitive care, ensuring each family feels informed, empowered, and nurtured throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
In addition to my doula work, I am a trained lactation consultant and love helping families feel confident & supported as they begin their feeding journey. I’m also trained in sound healing, which I gently weave in when families are seeking additional support for relaxation & emotional balance.
In my free time, you can usually find me blending my own loose-leaf teas, traveling, or creating something new whether that’s with my hands, through storytelling, or simply dreaming up fresh ideas.
I truly believe every birthing person deserves to be fully seen, supported, & celebrated during this sacred time, & I’m honored to walk alongside families as they welcome new life.
Michelle Thorsen
Birth Doula & Postpartum Doula
Hello! I’m Michelle and I’ve been a birth & postpartum doula since 2020. I have always been fascinated by pregnancy, birth and babies. I studied early childhood development and was a preschool teacher for ten years. As much as I enjoyed that, I decided I wanted to focus more on supporting moms and families in a different way. I naturally fell into the doula roll after supporting my friends and family through pregnancy, birth and newborn stage. Being present and involved during pregnancy and birth is truly the biggest honor and witnessing a new soul join the world never loses its magic for me. Whatever your dream birth scenario is, I want to help support that anyway I can, and have been lucky enough to support families through hospital births (with and without epidurals), home births, & birth centers. Outside of doula work, I enjoy spending my time with my family, working out, cooking and spending time outside. Congratulations and good luck on your pregnancy journey!

Kiley Tkaczyk
Birth & Postpartum Doula, Preconception Guide, Birth Photographer
Hi, I’m Kiley! I’m a a mom with an extensive background spanning over a decade in healthcare, with a specific focus on women's health & family building, paired with years immersed in the study of birth, my journey has evolved into a passionate exploration of the entire process from preconception to postpartum.
Throughout my tenure, I experienced a profound paradigm shift, recognizing that there’s infinitely more to wellbeing than just the physiological aspects, prompting an exploration at a deeper level. This moment also ignited a connection to the initiation of childbirth and an enhanced reverence for the inherent strength within every woman.
I perceive each birth as a sacred ceremony; a powerful rite of passage that connects you to the cosmic forces of creation. I believe in bringing intention and presence to every phase of this journey, honoring that consciousness in preconception, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum looks different for each individual. My work is about creating a dynamic in which you can discover what that means for you, so that you are well held, in full alignment with self.
Alexandra Spencer
Full Spectrum Birth & Postpartum Doula
Hello, I’m Alexandra! I am a full-spectrum birth and postpartum doula. I worked as a nanny for over a decade before I decided to follow my long-time fascination with birth and become a doula. It is truly an honor and a joy for me to support parents, families, and babies in my community.
As a doula, my approach is based in person-centered, identity-affirming, evidence-based care. I focus on helping you and your family be seen, supported, empowered, and informed through the entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. My support thrives through building relationship, so that I can know how best to provide encouragement, information, and care to facilitate the most empowered experience possible. I support home, birth center, and hospital births, and I believe there is no wrong way to birth your baby.
In addition to being a doula, I am a dancer, quilter, passionate cook and baker, and a shade-seeking outdoor creature. When I’m not supporting families I can be found wandering some of Ventura County’s beautiful trail systems, line dancing, attending a book club, or trying to get in the ocean no matter how cold it is.
Robyn Katers
Certified Placenta Specialist, Birth Doula
Hi, I’m Robyn and I am a mom of 2 littles. Having a doula for my own births was so important and inspiring, without them, my births would have been a lot different. Given my background in Prenatal yoga and Childbirth/Newborn Education, it was an easy decision and a calling I felt to fully support, honor, nurture, empower, and advocate for other Mothers.
My passion lies in supporting the postpartum transition through healing with placenta encapsulation services. I’m dedicated to helping new parents feel nourished, balanced, and cared for during the tender postpartum period.
With a background in the perinatal space, I bring a holistic, compassionate approach to every family I serve.
Angelica Covarrubias
Pre & Postnatal Fitness Specialist and Certified Wellness Coach
For nearly a decade, I’ve dedicated my career to helping women reconnect with, restore, and reclaim their bodies throughout motherhood. As a certified pre- and postnatal trainer with 9+ years of experience—and a mom of two—I understand how transformative the right movement can be.
During my first pregnancy, I struggled to find a trainer who truly supported pregnant women. Told not to exercise, my body craved movement. Once I started training, I felt strong, confident, and deeply connected. After birth, my recovery was so remarkable I knew I had to help others.
In my second pregnancy, I trained until 38 weeks, but post-birth faced challenges like diastasis recti, incontinence, back pain, and pelvic prolapse. Using the methods I teach, I fully healed and strengthened my body, deepening my commitment to helping others heal too.
My approach blends science-backed movement, functional strength training, and nervous system regulation to rebuild women’s bodies from the inside out. I've helped many heal diastasis, resolve pain, restore pelvic floor function, and reclaim confidence. Living with incontinence, pain, or “mom pooch” isn’t normal, it’s common, and with the right techniques, your body can heal.
Every woman deserves to feel at home in her body again. My mission is to empower you to move through motherhood feeling strong, supported, and whole, because your body is capable of miraculous things, like creating life. You deserve to feel that power every day.
