Feel Calm, Confident, & Ready for Your Birth

At Birthing by Nature, I help mamas and their partners prepare for birth with practical tools, heartfelt support, and a deep trust in the body's natural ability to birth. Whether you're taking a Hypnobirthing childbirth class or seeking doula support, my goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and at ease as you get closer to meeting your baby.

I serve Simi Valley, CA, the surrounding Los Angeles & Ventura County areas—and online, too.

Hi, I’m Marlene

Your Hypnobirthing Doula

I’m a certified Hypnobirthing educator, birth doula, and Body Ready Method Pro. For nearly five years, I’ve been helping families prepare for birth in a way that feels calm, whether birthing at home, in a hospital, or at a birth center.

I’m also a wife and a mom who has lived both sides of birth. I know what it feels like to go in without the right tools, and I know the difference it makes when you feel truly supported.

What Families Are Saying

We both wanted to thank you for teaching us how birth can be a positive experience and allowing us to be part of the Hypnobirthing community. This [giving birth] has definitely been a positive experience and both Jax and I are no longer fearful of birth and now view it as a positive and truly life changing."

"I truly appreciate you and all the time you dedicated to educating and preparing myself, my husband, and mom. It was just incredible feeling so empowered and knowing that I could do this regardless of how the situation unfolded. I will be recommending you to anyone I know who is interested in Hypnobirthing."

Hi Marlene, thank you so much for this course! It was so informative. Even my husband really enjoyed it and he doesn't typically like classes. lol.
