Holding Space, Offering Strength, Advocating for You
At Joy in Birthing, we understand that every birth is unique, and our mission is to provide tailored doula care that empowers you during one of life’s most transformative experiences. Serving families across Los Angeles, we offer deeply personalized support — taking on only two clients each month to ensure you receive the highest level of care, presence, and dedication.
Birth is a threshold, not just for the baby, but for the birthing person. In every labor, there is someone becoming—not only a parent, but a more powerful, intuitive version of themselves. My role as a doula is to mother the mother—to offer nourishment, reassurance, and nonjudgmental care as you move through this transformation. I bring calm when there is chaos, softness when things feel hard, and steadiness when you need to be reminded: you are not alone. Just as you prepare to meet your baby, I am here to meet you—with presence, warmth, and unwavering support.
"It's hard for me to find the words to express how grateful I am that I found Giuditta. From the early days of my pregnancy to the birth of my son, and through my postpartum journey she has been an incredible support. I really often wonder what my experience would have been like if I hadn't had her. I would single handedly credit HER with making my birth experience one that I dreamed of. She had the most incredible techniques through labor that moved my son down and out in record time, and looking back I feel that my birth was painless. "

"Giuditta is a true professional who is not only an expert in the field, but her light hearted way eases the tension during what some would call the most dramatic experience of your life. We went into the labor process confident for what was coming and having her support before, during and after was completely necessary for all the unknowns that came our way. Giuditta showed us ways to play with our newborn, proper hygiene techniques and outlined our daily routine/ritual.

Giuditta is an incredible doula. I am so grateful for her services and support. This was our first baby and we knew nothing! Giuditta was there to answer all of our questions (we had a lot!), taught us how to bathe our baby and was a shining light during my birth. She created the calm and peaceful environment I needed during 4 hours of pushing. It might seem small but her honey sticks and aromatherapy were godsends in helping keep my energy up during those 4 hours. She became a teammate with my OB, suggesting new positions to help the baby during delivery. I remember distinctly the OB and nurse welcoming Giuditta's wonderful suggestions. They were impressed to say the least! Looking back, I see how easily I could have had a C section if Giuditta had not been there.

Working with Giuditta was the most incredible experience I could have imagined as a first-time mom! I had the labor and pregnancy of someone who has done it before and it is entirely due to the fact that I did so much to prepare for this birth with her.
She is professional, endlessly knowledgeable, calm and confident, an advocate, and full of compassion. She is the person you want in the room.
My labor was quick and I pushed for less than an hour. We would consider it a painless childbirth. Though the contractions progressed fast and indeed "hurt" from the pressure of the baby descending, pushing was the easy part.

I like to call Giuditta my fairy birth mom - she was the biggest blessing through pregnancy, labor and delivery and postpartum. She spent so much quality time with us getting us ready for this huge life event and was an actual champion guiding me through labor. I do not understand how people give birth without Giuditta. I needed her guidance, coaching and support the entire time. Then postpartum, I truly feel that Giuditta taught me how to be a mom.
