About me
Hi everyone, I’m Brittany Maalona, owner and doula with Stork & Sprout, a team-based doula practice serving families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. While you’ll see my name and photo here, Stork & Sprout is very much a team. Our doulas bring a range of experience, backgrounds, personalities, and specialties to our work, and we support one another so families have a broader circle of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We provide birth and postpartum doula support, along with lactation support, bodywork, placenta encapsulation, education, TENS rentals, and other resources for growing families. Our team supports families throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, East Bay, and North Bay. One of the things I care most about is making doula support feel accessible, dependable, and genuinely relational. We believe families deserve information without judgment, support that respects their choices, and a team they can feel comfortable reaching out to. If you’re looking for support, please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to learn more about what your family is looking for and help connect you with the doula or support option within our team that may be a good fit.

Service introduction
Stork & Sprout offers birth and postpartum doula support throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including San Francisco, the Peninsula, East Bay, and North Bay. Our team provides compassionate, nonjudgmental support tailored to each family’s needs, preferences, and circumstances. Birth support includes prenatal preparation, labor support, comfort measures, partner support, and guidance throughout the birth experience. Our postpartum doulas offer daytime and overnight support to help families adjust to life with a new baby. Support may include newborn care, feeding support, recovery support, light household tasks related to baby and postpartum care, and helping parents get the rest and reassurance they need. We also offer lactation support, bodywork and massage, placenta encapsulation, childbirth and postpartum education, TENS rentals, and additional resources for growing families.
Ratings and reviews
We had such a wonderful experience with the Stork & Sprout North Bay team. From the beginning, Brittany made us feel supported and helped us understand how the team approach worked and what to expect. We also had the opportunity to connect with Juliana, Samantha, and Yohki, and each of them brought something different while still making the care feel consistent and personal. What we appreciated most was knowing we had a whole team behind us rather than feeling like everything depended on one person being available. Everyone was warm, knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely respectful of the kind of birth and postpartum experience we wanted. We never felt pressured or judged, and our questions were always taken seriously. Having local doula support here in the North Bay made such a difference for our family. We would absolutely recommend the Stork & Sprout North Bay team to anyone looking for thoughtful, dependable, and compassionate support during pregnancy, birth, or postpartum.
