Welcome to the Birthing Den
Den Mother Birthing is a home for all mothers, birthing people, and their families to be held, witnessed, and nourished. Through birth and postpartum doula care, childbirth education, and lactation support, I walk alongside you as a grounded presence, weaving empowerment, ancestral wisdom, advocacy, and gentle guidance into every step of the journey. This is a place where your body's deep knowing is honored, where the primal rhythms of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum seasons are tended with reverence. Here, you are invited to return to yourself, to listen inward, trust your instincts, and move through each moment with confidence and support.
Meet Valeri
Pregnancy, birth & postpartum were incredibly transformative experiences for me, and I’m forever grateful for the doulas, midwives, lactation specialists, and birth workers who helped me along the way. Now, I’m honored to offer that same thoughtful care and support to others, empowering birthing people and their families as they grow and heal through their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences.
I’m here to help you have the birthing and postpartum experience that feels right to YOU. I will collaborate with you to create a holistic plan to support you and your family both before and after birth through self-care practices for mind and body, warm oil body+ womb massage, trauma-informed care, birth processing, sound healing, as well as lactation support, nutrition, and herbal care. Supporting you during this incredibly tender season is a profound privilege for me, and I look forward to helping in any way I can.

Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are sacred seasons in life that should be handled with deep love, care, awareness, and respect. As a doula, I offer support, guidance, and empowerment during the transformative journey before and after childbirth, providing emotional reassurance while helping navigate medical choices, and fostering a positive birthing and postpartum environment.
As an experienced doula, my offerings are thoughtfully custom-tailored to meet your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and empowering experience for you and your family.
Rituals include:
Abhyanga warm oil massage, belly
binding, birth integration, meal prep +
delivery, yoni steam, sitz bath, herbal
support, etc.

As a certified lactation specialist, I offer personalized, compassionate support to help you achieve your breast/chestfeeding goals — wherever you are on your journey. My offerings include in-home and virtual lactation sessions, newborn feeding assessments, latch evaluations, and guidance on milk supply, engorgement, mastitis, nipple pain, and pumping routines. Whether you're navigating the early days of breastfeeding, returning to work, introducing a bottle, or working through feeding challenges with baby, I'm here to provide deep support tailored to your unique needs. My approach is judgment-free and mother/lactating parent-centered, honoring your instincts while empowering you with the tools and confidence to nourish your baby in the way that works best for your family.

If you’re interested in working with a doula but you’re located outside the Los Angeles area, my virtual support includes the same prenatal & postpartum doula care and lactation support (minus my physical attendance at your birth).
Anything that comes up, your doula is just a phone call away!

Sound healing is the therapeutic application of sound frequencies to a person with the intention of bringing them into a state of harmony and health by balancing the physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual aspects of their being.
By working with specific notes that resonate at the frequency you need most, you are essentially harmonizing your energy centers which have an impact on your organs, hence the saying, “Sound Mind, Sound Body.”
As a seasoned sound healer, I work with various sound modalities to heal, open, and cleanse.
1 Hour Sound Bath : Private or Group $TBD
*Sound healing may be combined or added to other prenatal, birth, and postpartum services.
