Giving birth brought me to my true calling.

Hi! I’m Amie, a dedicated birth doula and midwife’s assistant with a passion for supporting families through the transformative journey of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum. Born and raised in Venice, California, I’m native to L.A. I’ve always loved kids (worked as preschool teacher and also a nanny for many years). I knew I wanted to have a family one day. 

When I became pregnant in 2012, I sought out midwifery care with Davi Khalsa and prepared myself on a deep level for a positive birth experience. My first child, my son Cruz, was born at home with the support of my amazing husband and my midwife. This experience empowered me and I entered motherhood feeling strong. When I got pregnant again 18 months later, I worked with my wonderful midwife again and had another beautiful birth at home with my daughter, Vida. 

I loved birth and being a mother so much. I knew I wanted to learn more and help other women on their journey. I kept a close relationship with my midwives, Davi Khalsa and Dr. Michelle Gerber. I started supporting births as a doula. In 2016 Davi and Michelle asked me to join their team as a midwife assistant and I’ve been supporting mamas and babies at births ever since. I feel so grateful to have found my true calling in life. 

In 2022, I traveled to Oaxaca, Mexico. I spent six months there with my family. I had the opportunity to work with Oaxacan midwives and families during this time. My experiences with the Oaxacan midwives solidified my belief in the power of natural physiological birth and how amazing women are. The keys are feelings of support and safety. 

If you are seeking an experienced and compassionate birth companion who is dedicated to making your birthing experience as positive and empowering as possible, I would love to connect with you and help you build a foundation of trust and support that will guide you and your family through this incredible chapter of your life.
