meet chantel
As a mother of four, Chantel knows first-hand the journey of birthing in the hospital and at home.
Her practice is centered on curating an experience for each family based on education, advocacy, and trauma-informed care.
Chantel is a certified DONA Birth Doula, Lactation Education Specialist, and Gottman Bringing Home Baby educator. A contracted Medi-cal provider, she has also completed training with Birthing From Within and Postpartum Support International (PSI).
As a DONA Impact Mentor, Chantel is passionate about partnering with local programs and organizations like the Sankofa BirthWorkers Collective, Riverside Community Health Foundation - IEHP Doula Access Program, and Frontline Doulas to provide affordable doula services in her community. She currently facilitates workshops for local doula trainings and operations for the Sankofa Community Community Doula Program—a Perinatal Equity Initiative for San Bernardino & Riverside counties.
Originally from New York, Chantel now resides in Southern California. She serves on the board of the Urban Youth Workers Institute and often speaks at conferences, colleges, workshops, and ministries. Whether preparing families for welcoming a new baby into the family, hiring for major studios and networks, consulting, or launching events & podcasts — her anthem has always been,
“be the change”.
In her free time, you can find Chantel buying plants, cycling, coffee crawling with her husband, and exploring the world with their littles.
