Your Eastern Los Angeles and Riverside Area Doulas

 Hi there, I’m Becky and have been working with new families since 2016 as a doula and parent educator in the Los Angeles, Ca and surrounding communities. I am the owner of Birth to Latch.

I truly believe the support of a new mother starts during pregnancy and through the first year postpartum. I am here to help you feel supported walking alongside you as you transition into becoming a parent and helping to prepare you and your family with evidence-based information along the way. My goal is to help you feel confident in your decisions and learn to listen to your body and intuition. My calling to this work has manifested in many ways along my journey to include supporting unique families through a trauma informed lens. I view the world differently. My approach to care is not only to the birthing person but the entire dyad. I love helping diverse families, including immigrants, refugees, single parents, and trauma survivors.

I am a first generation Latinx woman and use the pronouns She/Her/Ella. I primarily grew up in Whittier, CA, but spend several years in Nayarit, Mexico. I am married with 3 beautiful children of my own. With out them I would never be able to grow my business into my dream. I hope I can help you plan for the best birth and postpartum period imaginable.
