Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with Om Baby.
What is a doula matchmaker?
A doula matchmaker connects expecting and new families with the right birth or postpartum doula for their unique needs. Rather than searching alone, you work with someone who knows the Los Angeles doula community deeply and can find your perfect fit.
Do you match families with LGBTQ+ friendly doulas?
Absolutely. Om Baby proudly matches all families — including LGBTQ+ families — with experienced, inclusive doulas in Los Angeles.
What's the difference between a birth doula and a postpartum doula?
A birth doula supports you during labour and delivery — providing emotional, physical, and informational support. A postpartum doula supports you after baby arrives, helping with newborn care, feeding, recovery, and settling into life as a new parent.
How does Om Baby's doula matching service work?
Sheri gets to know your family, birth preferences, and support needs, then handpicks doulas from her trusted network in Los Angeles. You'll only meet doulas who are a genuine fit — saving you hours of research and interviews.
What does Sheri's newborn preparation class cover?
The Let's Get Ready for Baby session covers everything you need to feel confident before your baby arrives — newborn care basics, feeding support, what to expect with sleep, product guidance, and more. It's a private, live Zoom session tailored entirely to you.
When should I book a newborn preparation class?
Most families book between 32–36 weeks of pregnancy, giving you enough time to feel prepared without it feeling too far away.
Do you offer sleep support for newborns in Los Angeles?
Yes — Sleep Better from Birth is a private Zoom session focused on laying gentle, healthy sleep foundations from the very start. No rigid schedules, just practical, evidence-based guidance.
What is a 1:1 newborn consultation?
A private session with Sheri focused on whatever your family needs most — sleep, feeding, routines, fussiness, or simply making sense of those early weeks.
Is Sheri based in Los Angeles?
Yes — Sheri is a Los Angeles-based doula matchmaker and newborn care specialist with years of experience supporting families across LA.
Are sessions in person or online?
Classes and consultations are held via private Zoom, so families anywhere can access Sheri's support. Doula matching is primarily for families in the Los Angeles area.
How do I get started?

What can I expect from working with Sheri directly?
Whether you're booking a class, a consultation, or doula matching, you'll always be working directly with Sheri — not handed off to someone else. She brings warmth, experience, and genuine care to every family she works with.
