About Megan and Marlee, supporting OC families since 2014

We are a wife-and-wife doula team, and we've been supporting families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum since 2014. Our support includes lactation consults, birthing classes, and gentle sleep consulting for infants and toddlers.

Megan and Marlee’s birth services were absolutely invaluable. Before the birth I often wondered if doulas were even necessary - what if I ended up having a cesarean? Well, I did end up with a c-section, and I still wouldn’t have had it any other way! They made me feel stronger and happier while giving birth, and I felt like a resilient person who could accomplish this wonderful but trying task!

We're here for you.

We have been providing prenatal childbirth education, lactation support, and help for families with a new baby since 2014, and we love love LOVE working with parents in Orange County and Long Beach! We have training through Childbirth InternationalStillbirthday, and we are Birthing From Within mentors, so you'll find we may approach the experiences of welcoming a baby a bit differently than other birth professionals in the area.

We strive to offer nonjudgmental support to everyone we work with, offering a safer space to experience the range of emotions this time of life can bring. We honor your journey into parenthood as a rite of passage, not just a medical event.
