Welcome to Peaceful Nest Birth & Sleep

Hello, I'm Carla, founder of Peaceful Nest Birth & Sleep.

For more than 30 years, I have been blessed to serve families as a License Vocational nursse. Throughout my career, I have had the pleasure to have cared for patients in postpartum, newborn nursery, telemetry, medical-surgical, oncology, and case management. These experiences have given me the opportunity to care for individuals and families during some of life’s most joyful moments, as well as some of its greatest challenges.

I have had the privilege of working alongside some of Southern California’s most respected physicians and healthcare teams at some of these prominent area hospitals including
  • St. Mary's Medical Center
  • Long Beach Memorial
  • Torrance Memorial
  • Downey Regional Medical Center
  • La Palma Intercommunity Hospital
  • St. Jude Medical Center
  • Hoag Hospital

For the past 13 years, I worked as a Case Manager, helping patients and families navigate today’s complex healthcare system. Whether advocating for a loved one, explaining a diagnosis, coordinating care, or helping someone understand their healthcare options, my goals have always been the same -to educate, empower, and support others.

I truly believe that knowledge is power. When families understand their options, they are better equipped to make confident decisions and achieve the best possible outcomes. It brings me great joy to help others feel informed, supported, and empowered during times that can often feel overwhelming.
Eight years ago, one of the greatest blessings of my life began when I became a grandmother.

Like many families, our journey included moments of incredible joy, but it also included heartbreaking loss. Walking beside loved ones through miscarriage and the devastating loss of a stillborn baby changed me forever. Even after three decades as a nurse, I realized there is a difference between providing medical care and providing emotional support. Families need someone who will listen, encourage, educate, advocate, and simply be present.

Those experiences revealed my true calling.
I founded Peaceful Nest Birth & Sleep because I wanted families to embrace pregnancy, birth, and the transition into parenthood with confidence instead of fear.
As a Birth Doula, I provide compassionate, evidence-based
