Nikita Brixey
Hi, I am a trained birth and postpartum doula serving the Central Coast. I’m passionate about assisting women in birthing the way they choose, whether it be hospital, birth center, or home birth. I love sharing the joy of an empowered birth, tailored to suit the needs and desires of each individual birther. Experiencing the joy of two beautiful home births myself, inspired in me the desire to share the joys of positive birthing experiences with others. I believe every birther has a right to feel confident and powerful during birth. I believe birthers should be encouraged to follow their maternal instincts, be provided the opportunity for informed consent, have their choices respected, their body honored, and their partner included as desired.

Birth Doula
Lauren Hammer
Hello! I am a trained doula and a certified pregnancy massage practitioner!
My passion for birth stemmed from a negative experience with a birth provider when I was pregnant with my son. After that, I dove head first into finding all of my options and found a wonderful midwife. She inspired me so much I changed my career goals to follow my new found love of caring for babies and mamas! While I intend to one day become a midwife, I am honored to serve as a doula on the central coast to gain priceless experience.
My joy is helping families navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum! I adore watching women usher new life into the world and marvel at their strength to do so. I believe all birth is beautiful and I would be thrilled to come alongside and support you, whether you want a home birth with a trained midwife, a planned & informed c-section or anything in between!

After experiencing three births of my own without a doula, I understand first hand that friendly and knowledgeable emotional and physical support is often needed but lacking. I am passionate about journeying with women through their pregnancy, birth and postpartum, so that they can approach motherhood with confidence and gratitude.

Sheratyn Waller
Hi! My name is Sher! I’m a trained birth doula working towards my certification through SLO Birth Collective. After the birth of my first son, I fell in love with the whole experience! Although I loved everything about my first birthing experience, I felt like there was so much information I wasn’t given. During the pregnancy of my second son, I felt I learned more from the internet than I did my health providers. My own personal experiences have given me a passion and desire to help other new parents and seasoned parents gather all the information they need to have the birth they want! I look forward to assisting mother to the best of my ability to have a beautiful informed birth what ever that may look like!
