Who’s Your Doulas?

With over 30 years of combined experience and hundreds of families served, our team of birth and postpartum doulas assist expectant and new families with childbirth education, labor support, breastfeeding support and consultation, postpartum support, infant care, and more. We work together in a collaborative way to offer the utmost service, support, and evidence-based information to empower families during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We are focused on serving our local area of Modesto and surrounding areas in the Central Valley. We love seeing the positive impact our support can have on families in our own community.

Sheila, Brooke, and Corinne are DONA Certified Birth Doulas. Sheila & Brooke are DONA Certified Postpartum Doulas, and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educators. Corinne is an IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant). We share clients with our amazing team to ensure we can provide the best reliable and rested care, day or night. We believe a rested doula is a better doula! We contract with the BEST doulas to ensure we can provide that well rested support. Each doula is hand selected, vetted, and mentored by MBB. All of us have our own unique personalities, but our training & style of care is the same. We “mother” the mother with nurturing doula care to provide evidence-based informational support, as well as emotional & physical support that is so essential during the incredibly vulnerable experience of birth and postpartum.

Corinne is one of the owners of Modesto Birth & Beyond and one of the educators in the "Made for Birth & Beyond" online classes, which will be launched in early 2025!! She graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a Degree in Public Health Education. She started her career working in Elderly Care, but soon found her passion in birth and breastfeeding when she had her first daughter in 2018. Corinne had a traumatic birth experience, and many difficulties breastfeeding, and that led to a desire to help other birth/postpartum families and be an advocate for them.

Corinne has known her husband, Sam, since they were 13 years old and he has always been the best support! They have three daughters, Marley, 6, and Norah, 4, and Autumn, 6 months. Corinne was able to come back from her traumatic birth experience and have a more educated, empowered, and supported birth with her second daughter. Corinne birthed her in her own bedroom after a quick labor and surrounded by the best support team! It was an incredibly healing experience and she is so grateful to be helping others do the same. Corinne is passionate about this work, and she knows that having a Doula or a support person in any aspect of birth is invaluable, and she can’t wait to work with you!
