Hi everyone 🌿 My name is Anastasia, and I recently launched Lost Coast Doula. I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for pregnancy, labor, postpartum, and reproductive healthcare experiences with a calm, evidence-informed approach. My background includes women’s healthcare experience, EMT education, Mental Health First Aid training, medical billing and coding education, and ongoing DONA certification. I currently provide services from Fortuna to McKinleyville and would love to support more families within our local community. If you or someone you know may be interested, I would love to connect for a free consultation or casual coffee chat. 🤍

I am a birth and postpartum doula, prenatal and children’s yoga teacher, and mother of two. Originally from Venezuela, I lived in France before moving to San Francisco 10 years ago, where motherhood transformed the direction of my life and work. Before becoming a full-time mom, I worked in research and studied at university in France. My passion for science, well-being, and lifelong learning continues to guide the way I support families today. My journey into birth work was deeply inspired by my own experiences with doulas. During my pregnancies and births, I felt the power of being supported, heard, and reassured during such an important transition. That support stayed with me and eventually led me to pursue doula training through DONA International. I completed a 36-hour DONA Birth Doula workshop that included 14 hours of Childbirth Education, 17 hours of DONA training, and 5 hours of Breastfeeding Education. I also completed Natural Resources (In San Francisco) Postpartum Doula Core Training.

I am a second-generation doula with a passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum! I am a trained as a birth doula through DONA International, and am certified for postpartum care through DNT Network. I am also privileged to be apart of the wonderful team at Leilani’s Wellness Center and Breastfeeding Fixers. With an undergrad in Early Childhood Development, I combine my educational background (I am a huge nerd!) and passion (with a huge heart!) to provide gentle guidance and care.

Hello, I'm Cierria Leyazhié or you may call me Apache, and I believe birth is one of God’s most beautiful and sacred calls. My passion is supporting mothers not just through the physical act of labor, but through the profound spiritual and energetic transformation it demands. My approach is built on three distinct pillars: Pillar 1: Christ-Centered Care & Hypnobirthing: I equip you with Scriptural affirmations, prayerful grounding techniques, and Christian Hypnobirthing methods—helping you replace fear and tension with profound relaxation and faith, working toward a gentler, less painful birth experience. Pillar 2: Ayurvedic Wisdom & Doula Training: My commitment to holistic health is backed by rigorous education from the Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCUHS), where I earned certifications as an Ayurvedic Wellness Educator and Ayurvedic Health Practitioner. I then completed my full-spectrum doula training with the Sankofa Birthing Collective. I guide mothers toward balanced health, focusing heavily on Vata-pacifying principles—the ancient practice of using warmth, nourishment, and deep rest for true physical and nervous system recovery during the crucial 42-day postpartum period. Pillar 3: Advanced Lactation & Education: As a Certified Lactation Educator who is actively working to complete requirements to become an IBCLC, I provide high-level, up-to-date, evidence-based childbirth and feeding education, ensuring you have the practical tools and specialized knowledge necessary for an empowered birth and a successful breastfeeding start. Whether through Ayurvedic food guidance, gentle herbal recommendations, or prayerful presence, I am here to help you experience a birth that is peaceful, powerful, and deeply honoring of your body and your faith. ​A Holistic Approach to Your Fourth Trimester Whether it is through preparing Ayurvedic "warm-natured" meals, providing gentle herbal recommendations, or offering a prayerful presence, I am here to ensure your postpartum period is a time of deep rest rather than depletion. I am dedicated to helping you experience a birth and recovery that is peaceful, powerful, and deeply honoring of your body and your faith.

Maternal Wellness has been a Doula and Breastfeeding Support Organization since 2015. Maternal Wellness was one of the first Doula Organizations statewide back when Doula services were hardly recognized and were not covered or supported by Insurance companies or medical providers. When Doula Support was overlooked; Maternal Wellness continued supporting families and continued its advocacy on the importance of families needing support throughout Pregnancy and Postpartum. Maternal Wellness is an organization tailored to maternal-infant support giving you high quality and valuable services. We have experienced professional Doula’s and Breastfeeding experts who provide continuous physical, educational, emotional and informational support to families before, during and after childbirth to help them achieve the most satisfying experience possible.

My approach is rooted in compassion, advocacy, and evidence-based practices.

I’ve also received yoga certification in Mallorca, Spain, which informs my grounding techniques and mindfulness-based comfort strategies during labor. Whether you are seeking support with birth planning, comfort measures, advocacy during labor, or gentle guidance in the early postpartum days, I am here to walk alongside you and your family. I welcome clients from all backgrounds and am especially passionate about supporting LGBTQ+ families, first-time parents, and those interested in holistic or low-intervention birth experiences. I continue to expand my knowledge through trainings in trauma-informed care, lactation support, and culturally responsive perinatal work. I believe that every birth matters and that your story deserves to be honored with presence, respect, and grace. Let’s connect—I’d be honored to support you in this sacred transition.

Hello everyone, my name is Guadalupe Oropeza and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula located in Delano, Ca. My philosophy as a doula is rooted in the belief that when a parent feels informed and respected, they can lean into the power of their own birth story with confidence rather than fear. I see my role as your steady anchor—providing evidence-based information to help you navigate your options and unwavering physical and emotional support to protect your peace. Whether you are planning a natural physiological birth or a scheduled cesarean, my goal is to ensure you feel heard, held, and centered throughout the process. I don’t just show up for the birth; I show up for you. I am here to bridge the gap between medical protocols and your personal intuition. By creating a space where you feel safe to ask questions and trust your body’s rhythm, I help transform the transition into parenthood from a daunting mystery into an empowering, celebrated milestone.

Hi, I’m Emma—founder of Solstice Birth Co, and a birth worker with over a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My journey into this work began in a deeply personal way—witnessing birth as a child, I was struck by how powerful, raw, and transformative it was. That early experience stayed with me and ultimately led me down the path of midwifery. Years later, I went on to have my own home birth with my daughter in 2009—an experience that further rooted my belief in the body’s innate wisdom and the importance of feeling safe, supported, and truly seen during birth. I went on to train as a traditionally trained midwife (CPM, LM), working hands-on with families across California and building a strong clinical and intuitive foundation in the midwifery model of care—one that honors pregnancy and birth as physiologic, sacred, and deeply human experiences. At this time, I am no longer offering home birth midwifery care. Instead, I’ve shifted into a more integrative and supportive role—one that allows me to walk alongside women and families in a deeply personalized way through Solstice Birth Co.

I am a full-spectrum doula serving the Santa Cruz, Watsonville, and San Jose areas. I specialize in birth, postpartum, miscarriage, and abortion. I accept Medi-Cal, Kaiser, Health Net, and Blue Cross Anthem (Medi-Cal) plans. I am very passionate about your birth being sacred, informed, and heard. I'm here to support you and your partner during this transition of life.

Welcome! My name is Rose, and I'm a certified birth doula. I will accompany you in your pregnancy, labor and postpartum journey. I provide assistance during pregnancy and labor by giving parents the necessary information they need to make informed decisions about their care. I provide newborn assistance, information on childbirth education, breastfeeding, lactation and postpartum support. As a community doula I believe in healing the body. The reason many women do not heal during postpartum is because there are still many toxins trapped in their bodies that prevent them from healing. I work with mothers at whatever stage of emotional and physical support they need and provide them with the resources they need to feel empowered throughout this journey. I believe in holistic healing, ayurveda, essential oils, aromatherapy & yoga. I have lived in Taiwan and South Korea and have learned about traditional healing methods. My experience includes working with women from all walks of life and cultural backgrounds. This includes women who have experienced pregnancy loss, abortions, trauma and high-risk IVF procedures. I also speak Spanish and work with the Spanish speaking community. I hold a Master's Degree in Education and a Certified Birth Doula certification. I really enjoy teaching couples and enhancing their knowledge about pregnancy & labor. Unlike other doulas, I bring a strong background in healthcare working in acute hospitals in the nursing department. Although I am not a nurse, my background includes ER, ICU, medicine & surgery, mental health, rehabilitation, post rehab and sub-acute units. I am also trained as a medication technician which allows me to understand the different types of medications that are given to patients in hospitals. I've worked in a variety of hospital settings and have the necessary experience to deliver bedside nursing skills. I accept several forms of insurance across California. Contact me today!

Wild Womb Birth Co. 🌕 brand story Birth work is more than a job to me. It is a calling that lives in the body, instinct, & in the womb. Wild Womb Birth Co. was created from a deep devotion to women and the sacred work of birth. I believe birth is not something to be managed or controlled, but something to be held, honored, and trusted. The “wild” speaks to intuition - our innate knowing that exists beneath fear and outside noise. The “womb” represents creation, wisdom, and the space where transformation begins - not just for babies, but for mothers. My work is rooted in presence, advocacy, and reverence for each woman’s unique journey. I walk alongside women during one of the most vulnerable and powerful seasons of their lives, offering grounded support, education, and unwavering belief in their bodies.

Families often share that my calm presence brings them a sense of peace and confidence.

Hi, my name is Steffie and a mom of one. My experience as a mother inspired me to become a doula because I wanted to help other families manage this transition.

Hi! My name is Ariana Cruz. My journey into being a holistic doula comes from sheer awe for the strength of women in the beautiful process of birth.

Hi, my name is Teresa Magana, a full-spectrum bilingual (Spanish) doula dedicated to supporting mothers and families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a mother of ten, I bring both deep personal experience and professional training to the families I serve. My goal is to walk alongside you with compassion, knowledge, and unwavering support so you feel empowered, informed, and truly cared for every step of the way. With over 20 years of experience as a financial coach, educator, and counselor, I understand that supporting a family goes beyond birth alone. I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported, and it is an honor to help guide families through this beautiful new chapter of life. My approach is rooted in holistic care and personalized support. I take the time to genuinely get to know each family, meeting you where you are and helping you envision the birth and postpartum experience you desire.

It would be my honor to support you on this meaningful journey into motherhood.

I support individuals and families through every stage of the reproductive experience: preconception, pregnancy, birth, loss, and postpartum, with care that’s holistic, culturally sensitive, and rooted in real life, not just the birth plan on paper. As a certified Full Spectrum Doula, Certified Lactation Educator (CLE), and Child Passenger Safety Technician, I bring a full toolkit to every experience I join, so you’re not juggling five different providers for the pieces that matter most. Lactation support is close to my heart. Feeding is one of the areas where folks get the least real preparation and the most pressure. I’m here to make sure you have grounded, judgment~ free support from day one, whether that’s latch troubleshooting, pumping logistics, or just someone reminding you that “enough” looks different for everyone and every baby. With over ten years of experience and maternal, paternal & child care, I’ve learned that the best support isn’t performative. It’s steady. I show up prepared, I listen first, and I meet you where you actually are, not where a checklist says you should be. My approach draws on trauma-informed, culturally responsive practice, and I welcome everyone, however your household looks, whatever your experience has brought you. If you’re looking for a doula who treats your experience as sacred and specific to you, I’d love to be part of your life
