Personalized Expert Support For Your Personal Birth Journey

Hi! I’m Denise Curtis — a CAPPA Certified Labor & Postpartum Doula, HypnoBirthing® Certified Educator, Childbirth Educator, Lactation Educator, Infant Care Instructor, and Sleep Coach serving families across the Los Angeles area.

My expertise spans the full journey to parenthood: pregnancy physiology and prenatal wellness, the stages and phases of labor, pain management and medical interventions, birth planning and advocacy, cesarean and VBAC preparation, postpartum recovery, breastfeeding and lactation, newborn care, and infant sleep.

Everything I teach is rooted in current, evidence-based information drawn from ongoing training with CAPPA, HypnoBirthing Institute, and respected perinatal educators — paired with years of hands-on experience supporting births in hospitals, birth centers, and homes throughout LA.

Before becoming a doula, I spent over a decade working with infants and children — first in infant and child care, then as a para-educator in public and private schools supporting children with learning disabilities. That background shapes the way I teach: clear, patient, adapted to how you learn best, and never one-size-fits-all.

In your 1-hour consultation, I bring that full knowledge base to yourspecific questions — so you and your partner leave with clarity, confidence, and a plan tailored to the birth and postpartum experience you want.
