Experience Childbirth

The Doulove Way

Empowering women through compassionate support and informed advocacy.

About Me

Hello! My name is Alissa, and I am a doula from Tehachapi, California. My journey into birth work began after the birth of my son. My labor wasn’t easy or pain-free. It was loud, raw, very intense, but all mine. I howled my baby boy into this world on my terms. My experience ignited a calling and belief that birth is a transcendent event that should not be feared, but welcomed. Women need to feel safe, authentic, and free to birth the way their bodies tell them to.

As a doula, my passion lies in helping create empowering birth environments, where mothers are encouraged to not fear their bodies but, instead, trust them. By placing the utmost importance on each woman's unique needs and preferences, and fostering a relationship grounded in trust and expertise, I empower mothers to advocate for the birth experiences they envision. Trusting "The Doulove Way" means entrusting oneself to a partner who is dedicated to making the childbirth experience as positive, informed, and supported as possible.

Body Ready Method® is based on 5 pillars: 1) Upper Body Mobility, 2) Core, 3) Pelvis, 4) Pelvic Floor, and 5) Movement Patterns. Incorporating these pillars into your movement during pregnancy can help you minimize pregnancy aches and pains, have a more efficient birth, minimize unnecessary abdominal separation and pelvic floor dysfunction, optimize pelvic floor responsiveness, and optimize your postpartum recovery. As a certified Body Ready Method® Pro, I have a deep understanding of how to help you prepare for your desired birth and postpartum recovery.

Maternity & Family Portraits

/1 hour session

Capture the beauty of your pregnancy with a maternity photoshoot. Maternity sessions last up to 1 hour at a location in Kern County. If you have a partner or other children, they are more than welcome to join in on the session too. Pregnancy is an important milestone to capture with the ones you love! For mom-to-be, the best time to schedule your maternity session is around 30-34 weeks so that you can show off your beautiful, round belly without feeling too uncomfortable. However, if you carry small or gain little weight, I recommend that you wait until 36 weeks.

"Alissa was such an amazing support to have throughout my first pregnancy. I had a lot of anxiety originally when it came to pregnancy and childbirth and she held my hand along the way and played a huge role in making my pregnancy and labor such a breeze."

Chloe

"I believe my husband and I wouldn't have had such a positive birth experience without Alissa there. She helped guide me through different positions to labor in, reminded me to go to the bathroom, provided extra comfort methods, snacks and guidance for my husband. I would fully recommend Alissa to a friend or family member as their doula."

Sarah

"Overall, my husband and I could not have asked for a better doula before, during and after the delivery of my son. She goes above and beyond for her clients, and it's clear she really cares for them. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend her to anyone interested in getting a doula for their birth!"

Maria

"Alissa had such a warm and caring approach, she knew exactly how to give me the attention and care I needed while keeping me comfortable and never overstepping boundaries. . . She was even there for me when I just needed someone to talk to that understood what I was going through as a first time mom. I am truly grateful for her services and I would highly recommend her for birth or postpartum care."

Nicole

"Alissa was so present throughout my whole pregnancy, especially towards the end when I really needed it. She answered so many of my first time mom questions, she gave me so many resources, research, data, techniques, info you name it to educate me and my husband. When I was too burnt out to do my birth plan she finished it for me . . . I was so lucky to have her as my doula and as long as the circumstances align next time she'll be at my next birth and all the ones to come."

Mikaela

"I was on my second surrogacy journey and decided to look into hiring a doula for additional support when I was introduced to Alissa . . . She went above and beyond to help me physically and emotionally and I couldn't be more thankful to have had her apart of our journey. She was truly so amazing and I will definitely be recommending her to other expecting families."
