meet your doula
Hello and welcome, and maybe congratulations are in order. ✨
My name is Candace, and I’m a Los Angeles–based birth doula devoted to supporting families through birth, healing, and becoming.
I hold deep reverence for this sacred season of life. Every pregnancy, birth, and recovery is as unique as the baby being born, and it is an honor to walk alongside families during such a transformative time. My work is rooted in nervous system safety, intuition, and truth. By creating a grounded, sacred space where you can feel held, seen, and supported as you cross the threshold into parenthood. This work is deeply personal to me, shaped by my own journey of motherhood, healing, and spiritual awakening through birth.
The transition into parenthood is a journey into the unknown. Our personal histories, inherited stories, and cultural narratives often shape how we approach birth and early parenting, and this can feel overwhelming at times. My role is to offer a compassionate, regulated, and safe container where parents can slow down, process, and prepare — emotionally, physically, and spiritually, for birth and the fourth trimester.
I am a certified childbirth educator, birth doula, and placenta encapsulator. I am an apprentice of Dr. Britta Bushnell, a proud member of Doula Association of Southern California, and a Reiki practitioner. I am committed to evidence-based care, continued learning, and honoring both science and intuitive healing in this work.
My focus is on guiding you back to your inner knowing, helping you reconnect with your body, your instincts, and your voice. I believe every breath, every touch, and every moment of presence matters. This is where confidence is built. This is where cycles shift. This is where families begin in alignment.
I am honored to serve as your doula and to hold space for your becoming.
Please don't hesitate to contact me to learn more about how I can support you and your growing family. 🤍

Client Reviews
“Working with Candace was one of the best choices I made for my pregnancy and postpartum journey. Not only did she support me developing some practical skills for birth and preparing for a newborn, she also was an amazing support person when I had to pivot through many aspects of my birth experience. Her postpartum emotional support truly got me through the first two weeks- would highly recommend her and her services to anyone interested in a birth doula!”
— Aly French“We can't thank Candace enough for being there for us during the birth of our son. She is knowledgeable, supportive, and kind. She hears and understands our needs and was a pillar of strength for us during such an important time in our lives.”
— Dongtrieu Duong“If you are considering hiring Candace as your doula, know that you stumbled upon an absolute gem. I am so grateful to have had her apart of my birth story. From the moment we met her, we felt comfort from her peaceful and calming presence. She was invaluable in the weeks leading up to birth, and when labor finally came she she supported us in every way we needed. In the delivery room she worked so well with my OB and I felt surrounded by love and support as I welcomed my baby into the world.”
