postpartum doula serving california bay area families
As a Postpartum and Sibling Doula serving the Peninsula and South Bay Area, my focus is on providing overnight support to new parents.
Through my training with Doulas by the Bay and Fruits of My Labor, I have gained expertise in postpartum support and newborn care. I am also continuously expanding my knowledge by studying postpartum nutrition, lactation support, and sleep consulting.
My goal is to offer valuable support to families during the first few weeks/months after the birth of their baby. As a doula, I provide emotional support and a safe space for recovery, offer essential information to help families make informed decisions, and educate support persons on how to care for the newborn.
In my opinion, a doula's primary responsibility is to help families get the rest, recovery, and bonding time they need with their new baby.

The arrival of a baby signifies a significant and lasting transformation in the lives of parents and their loved ones. During the crucial fourth trimester, the support and encouragement provided by a doula can be invaluable for every family. Through education, nurturing the mother, partner, infant, and other children, as well as offering helpful referrals, the postpartum doula plays a vital role in easing and enriching the postpartum experience

I offer education and guidance on newborn care. I may assist with feeding techniques (breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or combination feeding), diapering, bathing, soothing techniques, and understanding infant cues and behaviors. I help parents gain confidence in their caregiving abilities.

The birth of your child is a monumental moment that leaves a lasting impression. No matter the birthing location—be it a hospital, birth center, or home—it's important that you have the freedom to concentrate on the incredible journey of bringing new life into the world, both physically and emotionally.
I provide support to ensure your children maintain a sense of calm in their routine, understand the unfolding events, and feel cherished. By the time you reunite as a new, expanded family, you'll be better equipped to thrive together.
