Head First Doula Services (HFDS) was born on November of 2003. It was conceived with love and passion for serving the birthing community in Los Angeles. Yana Katzap - Nackman, founded Head First after the birth of her first child and her transformation from the film production world into the reproduction world.

Head First stands for the idea that we dive into the experience of birth with our head first. Once the work has been done, the mind is at peace, and the heart has surrendered to the process, only then, the body will open to the experience & birth babies the Head First way.

We believe in the idea that the way women live their life, so will they give birth. Our doulas, classes and support groups will prepare you and remind you of your inner strength and great qualities that will guide you in your journey from pregnancy to Parenthood.
