Sharon Jensen-Cody, PhD
Birth Doula & Sleep Consultant
As a wife, mom of two, and a certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant & Birth Doula, my life is joyfully full. My passion for maternal and fetal health began in college and deepened during my graduate studies. Over time, transitioning into birth work felt like a natural and meaningful path, and it’s been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve made. It’s a true honor to be invited into such a sacred moment in a family’s life, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to walk alongside you on this incredible journey. See more about me here!
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!

Avangeline Perales
Newborn Care Specialist, Postpartum Doula
Hello I am Angeline Perales and I come from 5 generations of strong women. Since I was an only child, I was always pointing out babies as a toddler and beyond. My family always said "you are going to work in the baby industry". Here I am!! I was a nanny for over 14 years, and newborn care specialist/post partum doula over 13 years now. Since I was a single mother to my own daughter, I find that parents value my nurturing, loving and hands on nature. I enjoy helping to make the transition to parenthood seamless and almost effortless. My thorough knowledge and hands on experience has been a complete asset in my career and is reflected by my stellar references.
Kiley Tkaczyk
Birth & Postpartum Doula, Preconception Guide, Birth Photographer
Hi, I’m Kiley! I’m a Los Angeles based birth and postpartum doula, preconception coach, birth photographer and mother.
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.
