You’ll get full access to their member profiles, including their trainings, certifications, experience, services pricing, and specialties—so you know exactly who you’re considering. Not the right fit? No worries. We will continue helping you find someone who feels like home.

And before you decide, you get to interview each doula or specialist to make sure the connection feels good and right for you.

Testimonial Blog

We used DOC for sleep help with our 12 month old girl that we had given a lot of bad habits co-sleeping with her. She stayed two nights and three days and our little girl, who had never slept alone in her life now falls to sleep very fast, alone in her crib. We are sleeping for the first time in a year. Very thankful for the help. - Kat M

I contacted Orange County Doulas because I was overwhelmed with the doula options out there. They quickly sent me matches and I knew right away who I wanted to interview. I now have my doula! - Marisa H.

The Doulas of Orange County is a wonderful service that helped my wife and me out tremendously in our search for a birth doula. With so many doulas available, it was overwhelming knowing where to start our search. Doulas of Orange County simplified everything by first gathering a list of what we wanted and matching us with the perfect doulas who aligned with our vision and our budget. The process was easy to understand, and they consistently informed us every step along the way to keep us in the loop. Thank you, Doulas of Orange County! - Chris D.

I didn't know where to start in searching for a doula, and I'm so glad I came across this marching service. It was an easy and quick process that helped me find a doula with some pretty specific preferences I had in mind. They gave me several great options and matched me with my doula who I absolutely love! - Megan C.

We reached out to Doulas of Orange County to help sleep train our 2 year old daughter. She understood our situation beforehand and came prepared to tackle this challenge. She was hands on from the first night and really prepared us with tools to help our daughter put herself to sleep and sleep through the night. Now our daughter is asleep in her bed every night within 5 minutes and sleeps through the night, and we have our evenings back! - Trisha A.

Very easy and straightforward! Great service to see doula photos, bio, and more info on certifications with a clear price overview. So many doulas I found just googling or by referral from friends don’t have this readily available or organized. - Lisa M.

I am SO thrilled with the services of Doulas of Orange County! It was super easy to set up - their customer service is fabulous. My Postpartum Doula was hands down amazing. She was so professional, easy to talk to and really anticipated my needs sometimes even before I did! I felt very comfortable leaving my little one with her (even though it was just in the next room lol) and her energy was so calming during a very chaotic time. 5+ stars!! -Elizabeth

We will remain forever grateful to Doulas of Orange County for being there for us! Not only did our doula give us peace of mind and confidence - and some serious sleep at night! - but she loved and cared for our daughter like no one else. Her loving attitude, charisma, candor and gracious ways assured us we were doing all the right things and made the daunting first night’s with a newborn more than achievable. -Louise

Doulas of Orange County is just so wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Being it was our first baby and we didn’t quite know what to expect, I never felt afraid while having her by my side. Our doula worked seamlessly with my midwife, husband and birth team to create a beautiful birth environment for us. -Katie

Being first time parents, we quickly learned just how hard it is to raise a newborn - especially when you have no family near by to help out. DOC helped us fill that void - serving as family when we needed it most. We couldn’t have gotten through those first 8 weeks without them & would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for some extra support - especially at night! -Lindsay

My sleep coach was so helpful in assessing my 10-month old's sleep habits. He went from boycotting naps and a non-rhythmic schedule to an almost clockwork sleep schedule in the matter of days! I was so surprised how quickly her advice worked for him! She's a gold mine and I'm so grateful for her!! Highly recommend! - Katie

Where do I start?! I am SO thankful to have found Doulas of Orange County! From the classes, to the support of the owners and my doula, it was a Five Star experience. My doula was incredible. She went above and beyond for me and my husband! I would definitely recommend their classes and doulas. -Caitlen

Our experience was fantastic! The staff were quick, responsive, accommodating and understanding. They matched us with a wonderful doula. We couldn’t be more grateful to have her! - Kate R.
