Diana H. | Doula in Santa Monica, CA

Dear Birth

    Practice overview

    I love to work with families who are open to change and growth; who believe that a safe childhood holds the secret to a healthier planet. As your Los Angeles birth Doula my mission is to inform, empower and advocate with you as you labor, birth and become a parent. As your Birth Photographer/videographer, I aspire to capture the joy in witnessing the unfolding pace of a family’s rhythm. Not only pregnancy through birth but also the slow, yet furious days following.

    Care philosophy

    I am passionate about babies. I believe they are the beginning of all that is life. The source of love and healing power to change the world. Each birth is the origin of a new cycle that can transforms our universe, thus I believe that to make peace with our past, we need to start by healing our births and by giving mothers the care and support they deserve to birth on their own terms.

      Diana was the photographer at my cousin’s birth.
      She came highly recommended by our neighbors and we absolutely loved working with her.
      She has an amazing knowledge of the birth space and how to preserve it respectfully and with kindness. I think this is because she is also a wonderful Doula and has 4 littles of her own.
      Her work is stunning and she is a pleasure to be around.

      I have known Diana and worked with her since 2017. I am a postpartum doula and we shared many clients. Her work as birth doula and birth photographer is just amazing. She is caring, warm, empathic, professional, very knowledgeable and simply a wonderful human being to be with. I love working with her in a team and was always very happy recommending her to my clients. She is just a gem.
