Sydney is amazing! My husband and I attended her breastfeeding essentials class when we were still pregnant, and it helped so much to know what to expect once baby was here. Once our son did arrive, it wasn't what we were expecting (he had to be in the NICU for a few days) and working with Sydney once we were all home helped so much in our breastfeeding journey! I was nervous about how hard it would be to have him transition to fully nursing after being on mostly bottles and formula in the NICU, but Sydney came to our house to give tips and observe how he was nursing and do a weighted feed, gave us a simple plan that was easy to follow, and was so helpful in the transition from triple feeding to just breastfeeding! We are so grateful for Sydney!

I have been working in women's health for over 25 years, first as a nurse, and now as a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. I am passionate about teaching and love talking about the amazingness of birth. Toward that end, I am always continuing my own education as it relates to creating comfort in pregnancy and birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum mental health. I will encourage you to develop your understanding of this process, as well as your tools for relaxation of your mind and body. I realize that birth is a great unknown, which can be a challenging place for us to inhabit. Cultivating a sense of openness and curiosity for how your birth will unfold is one of your most powerful tools. I truly believe that a satisfying birth experience is one in which you have the support and information you need to make the decisions that are right for you. Birth is an extraordinary expression of who we are, and who our babies are, and I have always felt privileged to walk alongside a family as they meet the challenges and joys that mark this profound transition.

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.
