A Little About Me…

Hi, I’m Alexandra (she/her), and I am Violet Oak Doula!

I have gravitated towards caregiving roles my entire life, starting with studiously learning to French braid hair the moment I knew I was going to have a little sister. I worked as a nanny for over a decade before I decided to follow my long time fascination with birth and become a doula. It is truly an honor and a joy for me to support parents, families, and babies in my community.

As a doula, my approach is based in person-centered, identity-affirming, evidence-based care. I focus on helping you and your family be seen, supported, empowered, and informed through the entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. My support thrives through building relationship, so that I can know how best to provide encouragement, information, and care to facilitate the most empowered experience possible. I support home, birth center, and hospital births, and I believe there is no wrong way to birth your baby.

In addition to being a doula, I am a dancer, quilter, passionate cook and baker, and a shade-seeking outdoor creature. When I’m not supporting families I can be found wandering some of Ventura County’s beautiful trail systems, line dancing, attending a queer book club, or trying to get in the ocean no matter how cold it is.
