Hi, I’m Kimberly,
a birth doula (birthworker).
Welcome! My name is Kimberly Gorskie-Garcia (She/Her) , Birth Doula in Redondo
I’m French, born and raised in Lyon. I am a Los Angeles birth doula based in Redondo Beach, right in the heart of Riviera Village. Trained by Cornerstone, I am a dedicated French doula (birth worker) committed to providing compassionate support to all birthing individuals.
Why and How I Became a Birth Doula (Birth Worker)?
My journey to becoming a birth doula began in my youth. Initially, I immersed myself in the arts, earning a Bachelor’s in Literature and Art and studying communication. However, I soon realized my true calling lay elsewhere. A friend’s introduction to the healthcare system sparked a passion within me, leading to nearly two years working in a retirement home. Though I attempted to return to my first love, Art, my heart was set on caregiving.
I pursued personal training, attended nurse assistant school, and became a pediatric nurse assistant. My career spanned various roles, including working in reanimation, ER, NICU, Neurologic Pediatrics, and with burn injury patients. My five years on the Labor and Delivery and postpartum floors were particularly transformative, where I discovered my true path.
Despite my love for the work, I felt constrained by the inability to form deep connections with birthing individuals due to the intense nature of the job. I longed to provide continuous, personalized support—being there for hours, through the night, whenever needed. This desire led me to explore alternatives, ultimately discovering the fulfilling role of a birth doula.
As a birth worker in Redondo Beach, I am dedicated to offering unwavering support throughout the birthing process, ensuring each experience is as unique and beautiful as the individuals I serve.
Let set up a meeting together.
Los Angeles,
Redondo Beach , California,
my new professional start
In France, they only allow one support person in the Labor and Delivery floor, making it tricky to have a doula. Many French people are unfamiliar with the terms birth worker and birth doula. Despite these challenges, I kept the idea of becoming a birth doula in mind while working with children suffering from burn injuries—a job I loved and held for years.
Becoming a mother to my two children, Rita-Rosa and Pavel, inspired me to pause my career and focus on my family. When we moved to Los Angeles, specifically Redondo Beach, California, I saw the perfect opportunity to pursue my dream. Unlike France, people in Los Angeles and Redondo Beach were familiar with doulas and provided me with valuable recommendations and resources.
Leveraging my 10 years of experience in various healthcare units, I underwent comprehensive training with Cornerstone and became a certified birth doula. Now, as a Los Angeles birth doula, I offer birth and placenta encapsulation services based in Redondo Beach, California, serving Los Angeles County, Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, Manhattan beach, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Culver City, Venice Beach, Torrance, Lomita, San Pedro and more.
As a dedicated advocate for inclusivity, I am a safe place for every birthing person. As a birth doula in Redondo Beach, I am dedicated to offering unwavering support throughout the birthing process, ensuring each experience is as unique and beautiful as the individuals I serve.
Let’s embark on this incredible journey together.
