Meet the expanded So Zen Family
Check out these lovely birth professionals currently enrolled in our mentorship program!
My name is Chelsea Van Voorhis and I am a labor doula and birth photographer with a passion for helping women navigate their pregnancies and achieve their dream births! After having my two babies, Coast and Seven, I was surprised by how little of the process is explained to parents. My goal is to empower women through evidence based information to make informed decisions that work for their families and to feel confident and supported going into labor.
Prior to becoming a doula, I worked on the Public Relations and Events team at HBO. I continue to do PR part-time for various clients. I am based in El Dorado Hills and open to working with families in El Dorado, Sacramento, Placer, and Contra Costa counties.

Alexandria Beyn
My name is Alexandria Beyn. I am a birth doula with a background in holistic health and healing. I believe that birth is a sacred and powerful experience that requires gentle and compassionate care.
In 2017, I completed an Ayurvedic health training at Vedika Global in Emeryville, California. I received my Reiki master training in 2018. I also love herbalism and enjoy making custom tea blends. I decided that I wanted to become a birth doula to assist women in their empowerment and the collective healing of the feminine. I completed my training in 2024. My passions include art, music, spirituality, yoga, and cooking. I live in the downtown Sacramento area with my dog, Apple.
