Now Serving North West LA County and Ventura County!

We moved! It has been a wild ride and we are still settling in. I am looking forward to meeting the new birthworkers in the area and connecting with new mamas! Wonder how my move went with two young kids, two dogs, and downsizing to a 3 bedroom apartment? Blog to come!

It takes a tribe

Get the support you and your family deserve

Hello, I’m Rachel Speck

Serving all Women and their Families

Through my journey of motherhood of two little ones I have come to the understanding that pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is more than what the media and social norms says it is. The process of giving birth including the postpartum period is a transformative time for both mother and newborn. The family has options and it is important to have someone there to help you navigate the process . Someone who can anticipate your needs on a minute to minute basis.  This time has the power to influence the overall well-being of  the mama and baby for substantial amount of time. I am here to facilitate the best start to your new family!

What my clients have said

“If you are looking for someone to take care of you after birth, I would highly recommend Rachel”

Rachel is awesome and her cooking is amazing. She was very helpful and supportive during postpartum for me and my husband. If you are looking for someone to take care of you after birth, I would highly recommend Rachel.

“I feel so blessed and grateful that I had Rachel’s support postpartum”

Her food was delicious and I felt so nurtured. I truly believe that all her support contributed to a quicker recovery and helped me feel emotionally well during a vulnerable time. I highly recommend working with Rachel.

"It was the best investment in my healing, my mental and spiritual well-being and the time and connection with my family.”

Choosing to have Rachel come to my home and provide my postpartum nourishment had such lasting effects that I didn’t realize their depth until we were complete. She gave me permission; to be vulnerable, to receive, to ask for help and most importantly to be fully present. I got to feel into my healing through her profoundly amazing cooking and her belief in the need for postpartum doula care. I honestly miss being deeply provided for by her now that we are done.
