Meet the Coterie Council
We’re backed by experts who share our passion for helping babies and modern families thrive. These trusted leaders in evidence-based care act as our advisors, educators, and community collaborators.

Dr. John Ozimek is a specialist in high-risk pregnancies and board certified in both OB/GYN and Maternal-Fetal Medicine. He’s currently an Assistant Professor of OB/GYN and the Medical Director of Labor & Delivery at Cedars Sinai, Los Angeles. Having been in practice for over 13 years, he finds purpose in providing excellent care to his patients, and works hard to develop strategies to reduce severe maternal morbidity.
“As a specialist in high-risk pregnancies, my patients often face stressful challenges. I recommend Coterie because finding quality products shouldn’t be an added source of stress. Parents can be well assured that Coterie’s products are safe and effective, which hopefully alleviates just a little bit of their stress.”

“I have lots of doula babies in Coterie diapers! I’m happy to have a trusted diaper brand to recommend to my clients, and am excited to be working with Coterie because they truly believe in providing solutions for parents. Their design is elegant and thoughtfully produced with sustainability in mind. I love that they’re socially conscious and have giving-back built into their model.”

Rachael Shepard-Ohta
Rachael is a mom of three and Certified Sleep Consultant, specializing in helping families with babies and toddlers get more sleep without sleep training. She founded “Hey, Sleepy Baby” in 2020 to give parents education rooted in science while offering sleep solutions that respect babies’ natural development, temperament, and needs. She encourages parents to stress less and to trust their instincts when it comes to sleep and parenting.
“It took until my third baby to finally try Coterie diapers, and I'm so sad I didn't have them with my other kids. They’re the softest diapers I’ve ever tried! They feel so buttery against my baby's skin, and I can't imagine putting her in anything else. I'm thrilled to work together to bring parents great products and great education.”
Mona Amin, DO
Dr. Mona Amin is a Board-Certified General Pediatrician, an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, online parenting educator, and mom of two. Through her brand PedsDocTalk, she provides relatable and easy-to-digest guidance on child health and development and parenting. Her goal is to guide parents in a mindful way and empower them to feel more calm and confident no matter where they are in their parenting journey.
“As a Pediatrician, I had heard of Coterie diapers but never used them until my second child. She was prone to severe diaper rashes, and we had tried a combination of various diapers and ointments. It wasn’t until we switched to Coterie diapers and wipes that we got her rashes under control. The diapers feel so soft—you can tell the difference just by holding other diapers. I recommend it to all my families with stubborn diaper rashes that have the means to afford it.”
We’re a proud partner of The Association of Women’s Health, Obstetric, and Neonatal Nurses, the largest nursing organization dedicated to the care of women and newborns in the United States.
“I wish I had Coterie when my son was little. I’m happy that I can recommend it to my clients looking for the best for their babies”
