About

Nice to meet you!

Nourish: Birth + Postpartum supports expecting and new families through educational, evidence-based informational, emotional, and physical support. Camille Fiori’s credentials include IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant), Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypnosis Instructor (HCHI), Hypnobabies Childbirth Hypno-Doula (HCHD) and Certified Birth Doula cd(DONA), Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula and Chef, Certified Advanced Newborn Care Specialist AdvNCS(NCSA), and nutritional health coach.  These perspectives and full spectrum experiences allow Camille to bring a unique level of support to families as she sees patterns between various emotions and nutritional issues women have, both prenatally and how it may affect them either during or immediately after birthing, as well as how they can thrive in the following years during postpartum, in addition to their own baby’s health and general wellness.

As a birth advocate, Camille is a trained VBAC & Spinning Babies doula and is passionate about supporting women achieve their VBACs, as well those with thyroid issues, gestational diabetes, and preeclampsia – home or hospital birth.

Camille has worked with hundreds of families and babies from preemie multiples, babies with hip dysplasia, tongue, cheek, and lip ties, and babies with feeding tubes. She offers virtual newborn care classes, newborn & Infant consultations like lactation and formula feeding consults, sleep education and sleep plans, daytime schedule plans, transitioning to solids consults, and teething consults. She prides herself on staying up-to-date on evidence-based information and educating parents, empowering them through their own choices to make the best decisions for their unique family’s values and parenting styles. 

Along with Hypnobabies childbirth education classes, Camille teaches private and group newborn care classes to expecting parents, as well as Tackle the 4th Trimester prenatal classes to prepare expecting mothers about postpartum recovery – how to heal their new, unfamiliar postpartum body through herbs and immediate tools.

Camille’s second company, Nourish Meal Delivery, helps get women with nutritional support nationwide. Meals are organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, and feature Ayurvedic adaptogens customized for fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. They’re also anti-inflammatory, great for autoimmune, and high protein. As an Ayurvedic chef and nutritional health coach specializing in lactation, the postpartum tonics, teas, and meals are excellent for new mothers and their babies.

The rest I will tell you during our Free Meet & Greet.

I came to be a Postpartum Doula after working as a Certified Advanced Newborn Care Specialist, when I realized how much joy it brought me to be able to step out of the primary caregiver role and into a teaching role because it empowered parents to bond better with each other AND their baby!

I saw parents gain confidence and pride as I helped them gain specialized newborn skills I had learned with my Newborn Care Specialist training and experience.  It is important to me to see the parents’ love mature – love for themselves, each other, and for their baby.  In addition, having a postpartum doula experienced in specialized newborn care means the mother is not only fed and hydrated, but they’ll have a baby expert guiding them by their side through each baby step and growth spurt.

I later became a Certified Birth Doula cd(DONA) after hearing my postpartum clients’ birth stories and wishing better for them.  I desired they had known they had actual options; that they could have had been informed of benefits and risks and had a right to be involved in the decision making for choices they made or weren’t allowed to make (because they were unaware they were actually allowed) for their own bodies and their babies – to have ideal health care experiences during pregnancy and labor as well as better expectations for how to deal with scenarios they faced.

I had been setting up parents for their ideal postpartum experience but found it starts with the prenatal education and the actual birth!  The ideal postpartum experience is dependent upon setting up women for an ideal birth experience.  Choice made during the birth and for newborn care procedures immediately after birth greatly shape the postpartum experience pertaining to recovery and to their baby’s behavior, comfort level, and bonding.

Especially women with thyroid issues, Hashimotos, gestational diabetes, anxiety and fear for birthing, and preeclampsia – working as a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor (CLEC) helped me better prepare women prenatally so they could make informed decisions on options they didn’t know about for storing colostrum and decisions on circumstances they weren’t even being told they would face by their care providers based on their health issues – situations they’d encounter immediately after birthing with their baby, such as sugar levels, delayed onset of milk, etc. and how to cope with immediate feeding issues and low milk supply.

I will provide you with a comprehensive plan during pregnancy and prior to postpartum so that you will maximize and successfully achieve your long-term goals for comfort, physical wellness, and emotional health! This also includes teaching you life-long advocacy and wellness tools for you, your partner, and your growing family. There’s several ideas and methods for birth support, postpartum support, and newborn care – it can look very different. Find out more what support can look like here.

Camille began 19 years ago as a Holistic health and nutrition coach and then an Advanced Newborn Care Specialist. She later became a Postpartum Doula after realizing her clients bonded better with each other and with their baby as she nourished new mothers to speed their healing and while teaching them specialized newborn care skills. Camille advanced her training as a Certified Lactation Educator Counselor through UCSD and is waiting to sit for the 4 hour lactation bar to become an Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). Her work with 2000+ mothers with lactation and their newborns provides new mothers confident their recovery and feeding goals, as their body transitions into a new life force for their new baby.

Camille launched Nourish Meal Delivery, an Ayurvedic postpartum meal delivery service with allergy-free and diabetic cooking (local to Greater LA, Ventura County, & Simi Valley). Camille is experienced in stabilizing all conditions postpartum, knowing the cause and results of certain properties in herbs and foods, their effects on breast milk composition & quality, increasing milk production, and balancing vata dosha in the body vital to detoxing and healing immediately after birthing and in the first 8 weeks.

Training as a Birth Doula and specializing in Hypnobabies after her clients opened up to her about situations they faced in pregnancy and during labor, Camille realized most could have been prevented had they and their partner known how to prevent common ailments or navigate the medical environment to advocate for themselves. Camille’s thorough prenatal and postnatal education equips new parents to feel determined in their birth choices and parenting decisions, no matter the birthplace or parenting style.

Camille helps foster maximum self-determination for expecting & new parents while transitioning to the journey of parenthood for their growing family. Receiving this essential support is something every family deserves.
