Hello! My name is Brianna and I have my Master's Degree in Child Development with an emphasis in infancy! I have a full time job as a case manager working with children with special needs but I am looking for some extra work on the side. I have around 15 years of child care experience and thought that I may be a perfect fit for your family! I have several years of experience with newborns and infants, both in child care centers and in the home. In the past, I have worked with a family of four children, ranging in ages from newborn to 8 years old. Tasks with this family often included baths, driving the kids around, drop offs at friends houses, making meals, trips to the park, putting them to sleep, and caring for the baby. Let me know if you have any more questions for me and I hope to hear from you soon!

I want to start off by saying please don’t judge a book by its cover. Having Lisamaria as my doula was absolutely the best decision we made. Having Lisamaria provide support for my family before and after having my son was something I didn’t realize I needed. That no sleep zombie life really messes you up. Having Lisamaria watching my son while I rested aloud me to actually rest knowing he was in amazing hands. Her breath of knowledge and experience was beyond helpful. She taught me tips and tricks that no class or YouTube video taught me. I still remember the struggle I had trying to get my son in the sling so I could have my hands friend. For some reason I just COULD NOT get it. I watched Lisamaria as she just twisted and pulled and made such a cozy little place for my son to sleep and relax in the sling. It took me MULTIPLE times to finally get it down. I was getting pissed and overwhelm but Lisamaria was there helping me every time with all calmness and patience.

Kirstie was so amazing in guiding me through my birth. She taught me about having a birth plan and having it written it out so that doctors would follow my wishes. A birth plan was something I hadn’t even thought of but Kirstie was instrumental in helping me think ahead and giving me the best chance of having a safe birth for me and baby. She was also great in my postpartum. She checked in often and helped me breastfeeding. Teaching me massage that help milk production and foods I can eat also to help my milk supply. She thinks about all your needs before you even realize you need it. She’s a warm, calming presence to have at your most vulnerable time. There’s no other person I would recommend when looking for help in your birth and postpartum journey. Kirstie is simply the best!

My journey as a doula began after years working as a nurse and witnessing how powerful support can be during birth. Becoming a doula allowed me to bring my passion for nursing back to life here in the U.S., after years of working as a nanny, and to continue caring for families in such a meaningful way.

Originally from Liverpool, England and now living in Marin County, California,Ā I am the mum of 6 beautiful children and a grandma to one. Each and every birth was unique, whether it was at home, a birthing centre, or in a hospital. The level of prenatal and postpartum care I received, definitely impacted my birth experience and I really feel every mum should feel safe and in control of her choices, as much as she can when she is going through one of the most unique and special moments in their life. I love supporting other parents on their journey, whether it be for advice, support or just to chat about what's toĀ come. Feeling prepared makes for a much easier birth journey :) I trained with Doula Trainings international as a birth and postpartum doula. I have been a volunteer with the Postpartum Support Center through the Marin Diaper Bank and now as a facilitator for the ROSE program. When not supporting families you will find me looking after my granddaughter, walking my dog, hiking, or enjoying friend and family time.

Hi! I’m a mom of two boys, a wife, and a professionally trained postpartum doula living in beautiful Marin County, California. My passion for helping mothers during the postpartum period sprang from my own postpartum experience with my first child. I focused so much attention and preparation on my pregnancy and birth that when it came time to take care of my new baby, I was completely overwhelmed. I felt alone, isolated and in over my head. Had I had a compassionate and skilled postpartum doula come into my home to help me process my birth story, help me feed my baby, and allow me to rest and recover properly, my postpartum period would have been so much easier— perhaps even enjoyable! The first six weeks after giving birth is a vulnerable time for new mothers. They need just as much love, attention and support as their new babies— which isn’t a concept that is widely embraced in our society. That is where I can step in and bridge the gap of care for moms and families. I provide a listening ear without judgement, a second set of hands, and evidence-based resources and referrals so families can thrive in the fourth trimester.

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!
