About Me

I’m Allie Rose, a passionate and dedicated doula inspired by my own journey into motherhood.One of my biggest joys in life is my first born, my daughter, Quincy Rose. Her birth was a transformative experience—long, unexpected, and profoundly impactful. It was through this experience that I found my calling to support others during their own unique birth journeys.Shortly after Quincy was born, I immersed myself in the world of birth work by completing my first doula training. From that moment on, I’ve been honored to attend births and walk alongside families during one of the most intimate and powerful times in their lives.With the mindset that one can never learn enough, I’ve continually expanded my knowledge, most recently studying at Bini Birth, the leading child birth educators in Los Angeles which is DONA International approved. I also regularly attend doula gatherings and conferences to stay up-to-date and connected with my vibrant birth community.Beyond supporting births, I find deep joy in cooking and the nourishing connections it fosters. This passion drives my postpartum services, where I help new families nurture both their bodies and spirits as they navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a newborn. I truly believe in the power of community, and I'd be honored to be a part of your village.Let’s connect and talk about how I can best support you as you begin this incredible journey.

Birth Doula Packages

During our prenatal visits, we’ll cover essential topics to help you prepare for childbirth and early parenting. We’ll discuss basic child education, your birth preferences and vision, and create a personalized birth manifestation/plan. We’ll go over what to expect during labor, including the stages of labor, comfort measures, pain-coping techniques, and various positions. We’ll also explore the role of your birth partner (if needed), how to time contractions, and address any fears or concerns. Additionally, we’ll go over the basics of breastfeeding and much more.
Our postpartum follow-up visit will focus on your comfort and well-being. I'll provide a soothing herbal sitz bath to promote healing, and we'll discuss breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, baby care basics, and comfortable babywearing techniques. This is also an opportunity to share your birth story and process your experience if you're feeling ready.

Postpartum Support

As your postpartum doula, I offer compassionate daytime support during your fourth trimester. I understand that every journey is unique, so we'll collaborate to create a personalized plan that meets your family's specific needs. Whether you desire regular visits or prefer a more flexible approach like meal drop-offs, I'm here to help you find your center and create a nurturing environment for you and your little one. After all, they know only you, your warmth, your heartbeat, and your voice. This deep connection, formed in the womb, continues to grow as you bond and care for your baby. By providing a safe and loving space, you allow this connection to continue blooming.I understand that this is a significant and exciting time, and I'm here to offer my support and guidance every step of the way.

Placenta Encapsulation

Following a time-honored Traditional Chinese Medicine method, I prepare your placenta through a natural process. This includes thorough cleaning, gentle steaming, and dehydration. The resulting powder is then encapsulated for convenient consumption. Potential benefits include:Hormonal Regulation - The placenta contains hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which may help balance postpartum hormone fluctuations and reduce risks of postpartum depression or mood disorders.Improved Recovery - It is believed that the nutrients in the placenta, including iron, could support overall postpartum recovery, boost energy, and help combat fatigue.Enhanced Milk Production - Some proponents claim that consuming the placenta can help improve lactation by increasing levels of certain hormones associated with milk production, such as prolactin.Increased Energy Levels - Placenta encapsulation may provide a boost in energy levels postpartum due to its nutrient and hormone content.Nutritional Benefits - The placenta contains proteins, fats, vitamins (such as B12), and minerals like iron, which could potentially replenish what the body loses during childbirth.
