Personalized Postpartum Care
Based in Orange County, CA
Welcome to your fourth trimester…
Your sweet new baby is tiny, your emotions are enormous, and “sleep when the baby sleeps” is somehow the only advice anyone has.
The postpartum period is a critical window of healing, adjustment, and bonding, and my mission is to ensure that you are cared for, while you learn how to care for your baby.
I’m a professionally trained postpartum doula + perinatal mental health certified (PMH-C) providing in-home newborn (and new parents) care, feeding guidance, recovery support, and practical assistance — creating a calm, supported environment where you, your partner and your baby can thrive.
What is a doula?
The word doula comes from the ancient Greek word meaning “a woman who serves.”
For centuries, new parents were surrounded by experienced women: a village made of mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and community members who helped with recovery, newborn care, meals, and household tasks. Postpartum support wasn’t a luxury, it was simply how families functioned.
Modern life now looks very different. Many families live far from relatives, partners return to work quickly, and the expectation for new mothers is often to “bounce back” and “figure it out” without consistent help.
A postpartum doula bridges that gap, because you were never meant to heal from birth, learn your baby, and manage a household all on your own.

What Parents Are Saying *
“It was so nice having Ophelie’s knowledge, experience, and extra set of hands during such an overwhelming time.”
“I LOVED working with Ophelie! I work within the birth community so I knew exactly what I wanted and it felt like such a collaboration of care because Ophelie heard what I needed and delivered exactly that. ”
“Ophelie is a wonderful and caring doula. She is a great listener and provides feedback/help where necessary. She is very respectful of you and your personal decisions which is greatly appreciated.”
