Doula ; a woman who serves

A doula is a trained professional who empowers, educates, and nurtures mothers and their families from pregnancy to postpartum. While holding space for the birth experience, doula’s provide continuous labor support: emotionally, informationally, and physically. In order to protect birth as a sacred journey, where unconditional love is BORN!

Meet the Doula

Ella Blaise Thompson

Hello, I’m Ella Blaise Thompson, a birth and postpartum doula serving the San Diego community. For as long as I can remember, I have had a calling to birth work. By becoming a doula, it has become my passion to support, nurture, empower, and care for families from pregnancy through to postpartum.

My journey into birth work stems from a love for empowerment, education, and providing a nurturing space. My mission is to provide unconditional, uniquely tailored pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support to families as they welcome their newest blessing. In my work, I emphasize an evidence-based approach while meeting mothers and fathers where they need. To provide care for positive, loving, and gentle birth experiences.

After receiving my DONA birth doula training in 2023 and postpartum doula training in 202, I have worked with dozens of families as they welcome their babies into the world. Additionally, I volunteer with Operation Doula, giving back to military families like my own. I carry a strong background in childcare over the past 4 years, working alongside dozens of families, in both the private home and daycare setting.

I look forward to all the BIRTHdays and 4th trimesters I will be blessed to attend and the families I will hold close to my heart.

  • "Ella was an amazing support before, during, and after my birth. She is very attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. After having a rough time giving birth to my daughter, Ella was able to guide me through the birth of my son - making it an amazing, healing experience. "

  • "Ella was such a blessing to have with me immediately after giving birth. Even though it was my third birth, I had never been successful with breastfeeding. Ella researched the method I was interested in attempting. She helped support me in implementing the new breastfeeding technique. She was such a calming and encouraging presence during a typically stressful time for me. She is simply amazing."

  • "Ella is so sweet and was a true blessing to have with me during my labor. She validated my feelings and reassured me throughout it and is very knowledgeable on all things labor and postpartum."
