Bereavement care from a doula
It would be an honor to support you through the profound transitions of loss. I’m trained to offer the most loving, non-judgmental care during a loss at any trimester, with any birth outcome, including, but not limited to:
♥ Miscarriage
♥ Stillbirth
♥ Neonatal or infant loss
♥ Life-limiting prenatal diagnosis
♥ Termination Loss
Whether you’re facing loss in this moment or preparing for it in the days, weeks, or months ahead, support is available.
For individuals and families in the Los Angeles area, I offer bedside doula support at ERs and hospitals, homes, birth centers, clinics, and in NICU or perinatal hospice settings.
For those who live elsewhere, virtual support options are available.
How to get started:
When I receive a call from a potential client or a healthcare provider makes a referral, I schedule a call to learn about your needs, timeline, location, and desired level of support.
You can reach Allie Alvarado directly at (703) 594-6331.

Contributions above this range help “pay it forward,” supporting future individuals and families.
