Bree Zaccaro owner and certified birth doula at The Breezy Doula
  • Hi, I’m Bree!

    OWNER, CERTIFIED BIRTH DOULA, CERTIFIED HYPNOBIRTHING® CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR, CERTIFIED SPINNING BABIES ® PARENT EDUCATOR, ICEA CERTIFIED CHILDBIRTH EDUCATOR, LACTATION SUPPORT

    As a mother of two and a fire wife, I've experienced firsthand the challenges and joys of building a family. My own two positive birth experiences sparked a passion within me to support others in achieving empowering and transformative births. This passion led me to become a certified doula and childbirth educator, dedicated to providing guidance, education, and emotional support to families as they navigate the journey of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood. Now, as the owner of this amazing team of doulas, I'm proud to be able to extend this support to even more families, helping them feel informed, confident, and cared for every step of the way.

birth and postpartum doula Cori of The Breezy Doula
  • Hi, My name is Cori!

    I am a Birthing and Postpartum Doula, as well as assisting in Lactation support and your first 40 days of recovery.

    I am born and raised here in Southern Orange County, have two kiddos with a hardworking husband and we love the sunshine and getting outside with the kids at every chance we can get! I feel like my personality stems from nature, sounds hippy but we are all connected through Mother Earth if you think about it. I think that’s why I hold so much passion for birth work and the new life it presents to all things around us. 

    My desire to becoming a birth worker started to grow when my daughter came into this world, but I didn’t tap into my maternal instincts of all the birthing possibilities until my second birth of my son. The empowerment I felt with each birth, being vulnerable but also so deeply rooted within my own mind and body on what I had just accomplished blossomed a confidence so trustworthy that this new walk of life into motherhood was going to be absolutely life changing! And I wanted to share it. I understood how much passion I had to pay it forward to ensure that every woman should feel confident in her self, her birth story, and motherhood- regardless on how you birth your child. Not only are you birthing new life to your baby, but to yourself as a mother as well. I believe your birth story shapes and defines yourself as a mother and it is my goal as your doula to ensure you feel confident in that. 

    The most amazing gift of being a doula is being the advocate and emotional support for women while they are in the biggest transformation of their life, whether they are bringing their first child into this world as a new mother or a seasoned mother for her last baby, to be in the same presence of this magical moment is a true honor and is so important. It is my sole purpose as your birthing partner to take the worry, self doubt, and fear, of “can I do this?” To “I CAN do this”. Helping you feel confident in your birth.

DONA certified birth doula Kalista of The Breezy Doula
  • Hi Everyone! 

    My name is Kalista and I am a DONA Certified Birth Doula based in Whittier, CA! I am currently serving LA County, Orange County, and parts of the Inland Empire. 

    In my every day life, I own an all natural body care business and I am a Sound Bath Healer. From the time I was 16, I was always interested in helping myself and others heal! First, this manifested itself when I launched Botanical Bliss; my chemical free body care line, made from pure and natural ingredients. After creating a business that helped to heal people from the outside in, I wanted to dive into something even more holistic and spiritual; Sound Bath Meditation. I have found both of these pursuits to be very rewarding in different ways and love being able to provide others with peace and serenity. 

    I have a deep passion to help and comfort women in all aspects of life, especially during a sacred time like pregnancy. I truly believe that when you don’t know what your options are, you have no options! Due to this, I believe it is super important to provide women and their families with the proper knowledge, education, and care in order to prepare for the best possible birth experience! 

    I have been blessed with the ability to help my family members welcome children into the world, as well as other families all around Orange County. I have experience in home births, birth centers, and hospital settings. You deserve to birth the way YOU want to!! Women have such a beautiful ability to bring life into the world and I want to assist in holding a safe space for you to flourish and embrace your divine feminine.

certified birth doula Michelle of The Breezy Doula
  • Hello! I’m Michele and I am a certified Birth Doula. I’ve been married to my husband, Michael, for 38 years and together we have raised three sons. Somewhere along the way they all grew up and I love nothing more than cheering them on in life.

    My favorite places to be are my garden, attending my husbands concerts, cooking big meals for my friends and family and rooting for our beloved Denver Broncos - though that one isn’t always as fun as it should be. =)

    I have always had a passion for pregnancy and childbirth and it just felt natural to become a Doula. I’ve been honored to help welcome babies of friends as well as some of my own nieces and nephews and there is just nothing better than being a part of such a sacred event. I look forward to getting to know you and helping guide you as you navigate your journey!

  • Hi, I’m Lina !

    DONA TRAINED BIRTH DOULA & LACTATION SUPPORT

    Currently studying pre-med psychology at Irvine Valley College, with plans to transfer to the University of California, Irvine. My vision is to bridge eastern medicine practices with conventional healthcare, fostering a holistic approach to wellness across America.

    My journey into doula work began about three years ago when a family member was pregnant. Having just completed a child development class, I found myself providing support and education throughout her pregnancy and childbirth, acting as her doula without realizing it at the time. This experience ignited my passion for supporting mothers and families, and I quickly became devoted to this path.

    I completed an internship at South Coast Midwifery, a birth center where I gained invaluable hands-on experience. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of supporting 24 families, empowering them as they navigate their unique journeys into parenthood.

    As a doula, I cherish the opportunity to reassure mothers that their bodies are designed for childbirth and that their choices are valid. Creating a nurturing environment during this transformative time is essential, and the connections I form with my clients are deeply meaningful.

    I look forward to continuing my work in this rewarding field, helping families with confidence and care.

  • BIRTH & POSTPARTUM DOULA- DONA TRAINED - DAY TIME AND OVERNIGHT

    Hi, my name is Taylor Huerta and i live in Los Angeles County. My significant other and I have been together for 10 years and have a 5 year old daughter named Aubrey. Pregnancy for me was smooth sailing and I had an amazing pregnancy however when we had our daughter my boyfriend was back to work and I was alone with our baby. That sparked a curiosity in me. I was learning & going through all the waves of motherhood and I knew I didn’t want another mom to go through the same thing. So that’s when I took my DONA Certification training and became a postpartum doula. Now I serve families and provide that support as they navigate life with a new baby.

    After being a postpartum doula for some time and supporting many families, I wanted to expand my support as a birth doula. I completed the DONA certification training and am working towards full certification, which will be completed in 2025.

  • Ventura & Los Angeles Doula

    Hello there! My name is Sharon, and I'm thrilled to connect with you here. In my world, I share my life with my wonderful husband and our incredible little boy who fills our days with joy and surprises.

    My journey into the world of birth-work stems from a deep-rooted passion for pregnancy and childbirth that took hold of me at a young age. The pivotal moment came when I witnessed my sister giving birth when I was 17. The duality of the experience, both challenging and profoundly beautiful, left an indelible mark on me.

    With a PhD in Molecular Medicine, I made the decision to step away from the laboratory to pursue my true calling in supporting expectant parents as they navigate the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, & postpartum. Eager to transition into the role of a Birth Doula, I've always been captivated by the marvels of pregnancy and the ability of the female body to nurture new life & allow for the miracle of birth.

    My mission as a DONA trained Birth Doula is rooted in empowering women to shape their birth experiences according to their desires. I am dedicated to championing maternal-fetal health and providing unwavering support to women as they embark on one of life's most incredible journeys. I am here to walk alongside you, offering mental, emotional, and physical guidance to make your birth journey a truly empowering and memorable one.
