I have been a volunteer for the Hearts and Hands Doula program at UCSD since 2016. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you.
I believe that everyone deserves access to quality doula care, regardless of financial situation. To make my services accessible, I offer a sliding scale payment model based on household income. This allows me to support families with varying financial capacities while ensuring I can continue to provide high-quality care." I am very passionate about childbirth and I work incredibly hard to ensure that my clients have a positive and memorable birth experience however they may envision that to look. My goal is for you to feel informed, respected and for your voice to be heard by your birthing team in your chosen birth environment.

Post a testimonial for Angela Lien

How do we even begin to express our gratitude??
Angela is simply the best doula we could have ever hoped for. She is truly an angel. She made her self available to us in the days leading up to the birth whenever we needed her. When our daughter was born, Angela spent many sleepless hours with us at our home and at the hospital, providing unwavering support, care, and kindness.
Her dedication and warmth made all the difference during such an emotional and life-changing time for our family. We are beyond grateful, deeply loved, and incredibly thankful for her.
Angela didn’t just help bring our baby into the world—she became a part of our family. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, Angela is it.

Review of Angie, Our Amazing Birth Doula
I can’t recommend Angie enough! She was a complete game changer during the birth of my first baby. From our initial meetings to postpartum support, she exceeded every expectation. Her services included two prenatal visits where we went over birthing options, crafted a birth plan, and she patiently answered every question my husband and I had. She even came to our house, which gave us the opportunity to make sure she was the perfect fit. Angie also walked us through various labor and delivery techniques and methods for managing pain during contractions.
Once I went into labor, Angie became essential. She coached me through breath work and guided me in changing positions to help ease the process. I am convinced that without her expertise, my delivery would have taken much longer. Her presence was calming and empowering, and I truly felt that she had my back every step of the way. After I delivered my baby girl, Angie was there for Sofia’s first feeding, making sure we had all the support we needed before she left the hospital.
Her postpartum visits have been an absolute gift, and the recovery soup she brings with her is just one of the many thoughtful touches she includes in her care. I am 100% planning on using Angie again when we decide to have another child and have encouraged my circle of friends to consider a doula in order to make their birth experience as positive as mine was with Angie.
Thank you my dear friend!

Let me start by saying that without Angie by my side, I might have faced a C-section. Angie was not just a guide; she was my rock throughout the entire labor. Her unwavering support and kindness turned what could have been a stressful experience into a journey of empowerment and understanding. Even when things didn’t go as planned, she was there, helping me navigate every twist and turn at the hospital.
Angie continuously reassured me that I had control over my choices and my induction process, which gave me immense confidence and peace of mind. Her presence was a true blessing, and I couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and knowledgeable doula. Angie was my saving grace, and I am forever grateful for her incredible care and support.

Angie was a godsend. She came during a desperate time when my husband and I needed sleep and relief. Not only were we able to get a full night's rest but she provided guidance, encouragement, and comfort during an overnight shift and we look forward to continuing seeking her help and guidance as we navigate the postpartum period
