I have extensive experience in trauma informed care. It is my greatest joy to support folks through the sacred portals of pregnancy ,childbirth, and the fourth trimester.

Hello everyone, my name is Bailey Lundberg and I am a certified Birth Doula and Placenta Encapsulator located in San Diego, California. Birth has been my joy and passion for several years now. Coming from a background in nannying my love for babies and birth propelled me to become a Birth Doula and Placenta Encapsulator. Also, coming from a more holistic background myself I find that having a doula present at birth that shares the same values reinforces the power and beauty of birth. In my free time I love baking cupcakes from scratch or walking my dog.

I am here to help you have the birth experience you want. Whether it is an unmedicated birth, or you get an epidural, you are at home or at a hospital. I am here to support you. I am not here to judge anyone’s decisions or beliefs. My job is to support you in your choices. It is your birth experience let’s do it your way. When it comes to my clients I like to have a gentle touch, and a grounding presence. I also find adding in a dash of humor here and there helps lighten the mood. I am a strong ally of the LBGTQIA+ community, and would be more than happy to take on and support any clients who are part of that community. My doula experience began at UCSD through the Hearts and Hands program, and I still volunteer there today. I have taken childbirth education classes, breastfeeding classes, Newborn Care classes, and I am Infant CPR and First Aid certified.

Hello my name is Bettina Borrelli. I am 30 year old Mexican, Italian and East Indian, American. Born and raised in San Diego, California. I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2016 and was certified in 2019 for Prenatal and Perinatal Massage Therapy. That same year of 2019 I became a certified Birth Doula. I have assisted with many births in a birthing clinic and in the hospital and also have had the gift of being the Doula for my sister. I’ve always had the soul of a caretaker and a love and interest for assisting with bringing a new life into this world. Ever since I started this new career path. I’ve realized that I have found my passion, helping mothers and their families start their new chapter with their brand new baby. Stay Rooted ! Sending endless love and light to you all

I’ve always been a doula, a giver, a sister, a person to lean on. I love all aspects of what I do, whether it’s physically holding hips or emotionally holding space. Within my practice I try to achieve a 50:50 balance of the spiritual, energetic with the scientific, evidence-based. As I learn more about you, our conversations shift to augment the type of support that best resonates with you and supports your goals. I am a certified labor doula (CLD) and certified postpartum doula (CPD) through DONA (Doulas of North America) and ToLabor. I have attended many births in various settings - homebirths, birth centers and hospitals. I actively attend workshops, courses and continuing education classes on childbirth, hypnobirthing, spinning babies, breastfeeding, postpartum, newborn care and holding space for pregnancy loss. I fully believe that all pregnant persons have an innate inner-knowing that is a powerful guide through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Our time together will emphasize self-discovery as we listen to your intuition, practice mindfulness & breathwork, energetic healing & support, and prepare for a birth as unique as you are

Brianna, originally from Las Vegas, NV, embarked on her educational journey towards becoming a midwife when she moved to Santa Barbara in 2015. There she studied and earned her BS in Psychology. In 2017, she attended a DONA doula training, a pivotal step in her commitment to supporting women during labor. As a student, Brianna volunteered at a local maternity home, offering prenatal nutrition classes and doula services. In 2019, she expanded her impact by volunteering with AmeriCorps as a Community Health Worker in Southern Utah, addressing social determinants of health. This experience underscored the strength of community and the importance of continuity of care. After completing her 12-month term, Brianna moved to San Diego to attend Midwifery school and commenced her clinical placement with San Diego Midwife in 2020. As a midwife, Brianna blends her foundation in psychology with specialized midwifery training, emphasizing a compassionate and empathetic approach. Her dedication extends to providing holistic care throughout the prenatal, labor, and postpartum phases, emphasizing both the physical and emotional well-being of mothers.

Outside of midwifery, Brianna finds joy in traveling to Mexico and exploring new destinations, often connecting with local midwives and birth workers.

Hi, I'm Sydney, a perinatal Registered Nurse, International Board Certified Lactation Cousultant, and mom of two toddlers. I am dedicated to educating and equipping parents to make informed and supported choices for feeding their babies. I offer in home lactation support in San Diego county and virtual support nationwide.

I offer overnight support for families with newborns. Besides supporting parents in the care for their newborn I also love to ‘mother the mother’ as she needs to rest and recover in the fourth trimester. I offer practical support, such as help with (breast)feeding, making sure mom stays hydrated and rested, clean bottles and pump parts, help with baby laundry etc. I also provide evidence based information on newborn care as well as emotional support to process all the changes and offer parents encouragement where needed. I’m your biggest cheerleader to become confident in your parenting skills and style!

Hi, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California, specializing in supporting moms navigating what I call the "Motherhood Midlife Crisis." This phase is marked by a profound identity shift—when you’re no longer who you once were, not quite who you expected to be, and uncertain about who you are now. It’s a journey of becoming that can bring feelings of anxiety, grief, overwhelm, and deep uncertainty. In my work, I help moms build confidence in themselves and feel grounded in who they are at this moment. My approach blends compassion, mindfulness, and practical tools to support moms in their unique journeys. Drawing on my background as a professional school counselor and child therapist, I also provide parenting support as a tool for growth, helping moms embrace their role as both caregivers and guides for their children. I transitioned to working with moms because I saw the ripple effect: when moms feel whole and grounded, they can provide the loving support their kids need to thrive. By helping moms, I hope to create lasting change for families, helping children grow up with the stability and care they deserve.

As both a Registered Dietitian & International Board Certified Lactation Consultant I help moms heal their relationship with food and body during pregnancy & postpartum. As an eating disorder specialist I provide nutrition counseling unique to those in this special season of life and would love to be a part of your journey!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at my bio, my certifications are immense in incorporating everything that I’ve learned in my own life, though taking the time to be certified in newborn care specialist, sleep training and conditioning, lactating specialist, and Doula. On a more personal levelI love being outdoors, cooking and creating a safe and healthy environment through both creativity and knowledge. My life is also been deeply shaped by resilience. During Hurricane Katrina, while at a family reunion, my family suffered complete devastation losing eight homes. Despite this tragedy, I felt compelled to help. I was deputized by the Red Cross And remain in Louisiana for three months where I developed and lead a disaster assessment team specializing in logistics, a system still in use today. Strangely enough this experience is what first led me into caregiving a career where it is I have never felt more alive or purposeful. Were I do not hold a specific degree my education spans multiple international schools, including the American school in London, the American school in Hampstead. A suburb of London. I am one that’s practices, kindness, offers, love, guidance and embrace patience and tolerance, as mentioned above. I love teaching through art and making every day moments a learning experience. With young children, I narrate what I am doing, always asking permission and showing respect even with a newborn I will gently explain what it is. I am doing in every step. I believe communication and respect starts from the very beginning.

I’m a postpartum doula supporting families during the fourth trimester.
