Meet Our Doula
Sophie Wood ~ Certified Doula (CD)
Sophie is a passionate and intentional caregiver with a heart for bettering women's access to quality care and information regarding their bodies. Sophie has a background in medicine and has always had a desire to help and care for others as she is the only girl with five brothers. She graduated from Chapman University with a Bachelor of Science in Pre-Med Health Sciences and a minor in Peace and Justice Studies. Her broad medical-focused schooling and career suddenly shifted to focus specifically on women's health and perinatal care after studying in Cape Town, South Africa for a semester. There Sophie volunteered with SHAWCO Health and found her passion for birth work while volunteering for an all women's health clinic. Ever since this day that tugged on her heart strings, Sophie has been diving into education and the world of birth.
Sophie is a wonderful option to join you and your family's birth journey. She is a calming presence, intuitive in nature, and will be an advocate and supporter for all your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum needs!
