About Me

Hi, I’m Tonia Rivera, a Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula. My journey into birth work began with my own experiences—four births, including two as a gestational surrogate. Those powerful journeys opened my eyes to the deep need for compassionate, evidence-based support and the disparities that too often exist in maternal care.

With over 7 years in fertility, surrogacy, and reproductive health, I bring a unique understanding of both the physical and emotional aspects of pregnancy, IVF, and postpartum recovery. My approach is rooted in advocacy, education, and respect for every family’s values, background, and birth preferences.

I proudly serve families across Southern California, supporting births virtually, in homes, hospitals, and birth centers, and providing postpartum care that nurtures confidence, healing, and connection. My mission is simple: to make sure every family feels informed, supported, and truly cherished through one of life’s most transformative moments.
