Hello, I'm Maira! I have been working with children for over six years. My passion of taking care of kids began when I decided to be a volunteer in a daycare working with newborns. This experience prompted me to become a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula. I enjoy helping and support families in their new parenting journey. My ultimate goal is allow parents to rest during this period while giving them a sense of security that their precious newborn is in good hands. I am proud to provide a safe, informative and loving environment.

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.

Hello my name is Samantha and I am a queer doula looking to support queer and BIPOC families in the Sacramento area. I’ve been a nanny for over a decade and decided to make the switch to birth work at the beginning of 2024. I started my training in March and have been working solely in postpartum but plan to also offer fertility and birth support in the near future. Looking forward to connecting and bringing you support!

Samantha provided exceptional postpartum care for our family! As first-time parents, we greatly valued her knowledgable support with bathing, feeding, and all aspects of newborn care. Her calming presence instilled confidence in both her and ourselves.

✨ Hi friends! I’m Jess (she/her) — a queer birth & postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I grew up around birth and babies (shoutout to my nurse mom!) and fell in love with supporting new parents early on. After seeing so many of my friends navigate birth and postpartum without the support they deserved and needed, I knew this was the work I was meant to do. I offer care that’s supportive, inclusive, and centered on you—your values, your vision, and your unique journey into parenthood. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just dreaming about building your family someday, I’d love to support you. 💛
