Recognizing that all birth is sacred and soul~full.

It is my honor to walk beside women and couples during this beautiful sacred time. I am here to provide compassionate, loving support and education during the continuum of the childbearing years: through fertility , pregnancy and postpartum.

Hi, I’m Nina. A passionate birth doula and pregnancy coach based in Los Angeles, California.

I have been a birth doula since 2011 and have supported hundreds of women and couples over the years. I believe in women ~ centered care and the power of birth as a rite of passage. I am a Prenatal Yoga Teacher, Certified HypnoBirth Childbirth Educator, Certified Lactation Educator (CLEC) and an Innate Postpartum Facilitator. I have studied extensively with Whapio Bartlett founder of The Matrona Quantum Midwifery Program.

My offerings are woven with holistic modalities such as reiki/energy healing, ceremonial breath work, sound healing, aromatherapy and acupressure. As a Certified Hypnotherapist CHt, NLP Coach and Mindfulness Practitioner I also support women on their fertility journey, and work with birth trauma and fears through Hypnotherapy,3 Step Rewind and Birth Story Listening (which can shift awareness at the sub-conscious level almost immediately).

. I am a mother and a wife and am in complete awe of the mystery and beauty of pregnancy, childbirth and motherhood.

Prenatal Yoga

Prenatal Yoga isn’t just about doing down dogs and warrior poses. Yoga means Union. Union of body, mind and spirit. Through poses, breath and meditation we connect inward. this connection allows for a deeper sense of peace within the pregnant Mother, empowering her throughout her pregnancy, her birth and her life.

Yes, we will do some down dogs, but it is so much more — these practices lead a new mother to the awareness and trust to birth her baby in strength and grace And…if you want a double whammy - try couples yoga — an amazing way to connect into each other in a deep and meaningful way.

Private Sessions Available. Contact me via the link below.

Hypnotherapy & Energy Work

Hypnosis is a natural state of conscious that every person experiences on a daily basis. We are in our most hypnotic state (called the theta brain wave state) right before we fall asleep at night and when we wake in the morning before we get out of bed. However, we also fluctuate in this state throughout the day. For example: when we daydream, driving (highway hypnosis) or watching tv or a movie.

Because we all experience theta, everyone can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is not mind control ~ no one is doing anything to you. Think of hypnosis as MEDITATION WITH A GOAL.

Hypnosis Sessions are held on Zoom 75-90 min $200/session

  • With the guidance of a hypnotherapist (me), we can bypass the conscious mind and work directly with the subconscious to get to the root of certain issues. Here we can release, reframe and heal at the deepest and quickest level.

    As a Certified Hypnotherapist I work with all issues from fears to phobias; however my specialty is supporting women through the child-bearing years from pre-conception to fertility, pregnancy, postpartum and helping to heal birth trauma.

  • Hypnosis by itself has a tremendous success rate in healing birth trauma and postpartum depression. I am also trained as a Birth Story Listener and am certified in the 3 Step Rewind Process which is a modality popular in the UK which is a gentle process used to relieve the energetic imprint of traumatic experiences and events.

    Sessions will include processes where you are guided through self-healing using deep relaxation, mindfulness and visualization to gently decrease the intensity of the emotional and physiological responses.

    These sessions are helpful for birthing parents/couples and birth professionals.

  • As a Hypno-Fertility specialist, I am dedicated to supporting people on their fertility journey. Hypnosis is proven to help with emotional health and reducing stress. Studies have shown the success rate of IVF treatments doubled from 14% to 28% when subjects utilized hypnosis.

  • Reiki is known as Universal Life Force Energy and is an energetic healing modality that reduces stress, tunes the vibrational field and impes physical, emo

  • “The Soulful Birth HypnoBirthing Classes are literally the best!!!

  • Best Doula Ever!

    There are no words to describe what Nina did for me and my husband during our birth. She was the rock we both touched whenever things were becoming uncertain. She always brought a light and loving energy to our house and continues to be a support for me. Looking back on my pregnancy and the labor, having her there made it all complete and strong. Love her!

    Nina is incredibly passionate about her work and helping to empower women and their partners. She has such an intuitive sense and an ease about her. She brought me and my husband together in a way that I couldn’t have even imagined. She has a true gift and is pure magic.

  • She brought us together in labor

    Nina gave me the tools to be present and confident to help my partner in labor making this the most connective experience of our lives. I am forever grateful for her guidance and support.

  • Nina's hypnosis sessions are a must!

    Nina helped me overcome my fear of pain in labor. Combined with her reiki/energy sessions I went into my labor relaxed and trusting in my body and my baby. Her voice is like velvet, and her intuition is so on point! Thank you Nina!
