Thank you for taking the time to review the services that I provide! I am a labor and delivery RN, that has been a doula since 1997. I have provided services at no charge to the Angelica House, through Catholic Charities. I also advocate for women that have experienced domestic violence, and are looking for labor support. Our office also provides perinatal CHW Services, a Medi Cal benefit. All of our classes are free for our clients that have Medi Cal. We also provide Perinatal ECM services for clients that have MediCal.
