A certified herbalist, holistic doula & lactation counselor. Coffee lover. Brunch dates. Beach babe. Boy mom. Divine woman. I am here to help empower women to connect with their divine feminine, embracing the energy & wisdom of their ancestors to have the birth of their dreams.

Hello beautiful mama & family! My name is Carmen; I am a mother of two and a Postpartum Doula serving Santa Cruz, CA & surrounding areas. I have experienced the labor & postpartum period both without and with the support of a doula…THIS IS WHY I’M HERE. This unique perspective has graced me with the ability to know how it feels to go through the sacred transition from maiden to mother afraid, exhausted, overwhelmed (we can go on), as well as empowered, safe, supported and dare I say confident. I am here to be of service to you — to hold space for every emotion, help you nourish yourself, assist with newborn care, help around the house, point you in the direction of other local resources; anything you might need to feel held, seen and supported as a new mother. I am currently accepting private pay as well as MEDI-CAL(woot woot!), including MCPs: • Central CA Alliance for Health • Kaiser of Northern CA • HealthNet

I am a certified postpartum doula with +6y of hands-on experience supporting families and caring for newborns and children. My approach is grounded in respect, emotional safety, and evidence-based care. I believe the postpartum period is a sacred transition—one that deserves patience, gentleness, and knowledgeable support. My role is to help families feel confident, informed, and truly supported as they recover, bond, and find their own rhythm at home. My philosophy centers on meeting each family where they are. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all parenting; instead, I honor each family’s values, culture, and instincts while offering practical guidance and calm reassurance. I focus on nurturing both the baby and the parents—supporting feeding, sleep, recovery, and emotional wellbeing—so families can feel empowered rather than overwhelmed. My goal is always to create a peaceful, judgment-free environment where parents feel seen, heard, and capable during one of the most important chapters of their lives.

I have been a full-spectrum doula for almost 4yrs. I primarily focus on postpartum care, supporting families as they welcome their new baby and adjust to life together. With training in Spinning Babies® and experience in lactation support, I provide a blend of knowledge, gentle guidance, and hands-on care to nurture both parents and babies. My approach is both nurturing and empowering. I feel honored and privileged to be welcomed into families’ homes, and I often become a trusted part of their circle during this sacred time. I also believe in the importance of finding the right fit—every family deserves a doula who feels like the right match for their values, needs, and journey.

I’m a toddler mom and trained postpartum doula. I’m excited to help other birthing parents navigate the postpartum period.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and I am the middle child to two brothers. I grew up in a tight-knit family filled with mostly women so pregnancy was around me my whole life. I was always there when family members came home helping care for them and the baby in whatever I could. I started out as a pre-school teacher and a special education teacher’s assistant, both roles I enjoyed. I did my first official doula training in 2018 and immediately knew I had found my place. Learning about the birth disparities black women face and personal experience from my own birth made my drive to help women of color come alive. I have a special interest in breastfeeding as well and I hope I can help more women and people have successful breastfeeding journeys. As an aspiring midwife and I know that being a doula will help me in my journey there. I became a birthworker because I want to help other birthing women and peoples experience power in their birth and postpartum time. When I had my daughter I had some of my power taken away from me and I want to help other birthing women and people know their rights so that can never happen. I chose this path because I want to make sure they feel loved, protected, well informed, and heard. I see it as my responsibility to my community to be of service and purposeful in the care I provide.

My name is Madeline Collins and I have been a doula for four years. In addition I also have two boys which has given me invaluable experience with newborns. I love to work with families to aid with their new addition to their families. I am certified doula, CPR certified and have passed a state and federal background check.

✨ 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. 💛

Hi There! I'm Maddie, I am a C-FSD ('22) and live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Being a doula is my identity above all other identities. My training with Birthing Advocacy guides my approach which is: evidence-based, unbiased, judgment-free, and trauma-informed. My goal is for you to have an empowered experience with this transformative life event. I am also deeply passionate about menstrual health and providing people with the details of this biological process and its physiological response, and how to build a collaborative relationship with the menstrual cycle (a key indicator of your overall health!). When I am not talking about reproductive health, you’ll find me spending my time learning about life. I am a creative and my favorite expression is through photos. I am a student of my spirituality. I love to move my body, travel, cook, and love – all things that teach us about life and connect us to the people and the earth around us.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Doula Talia, providing birth and postpartum services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I transitioned away from a delightful 20+ year profession in healthcare management and chose to train as a doula, a career where I can nurture my path of service to others. I believe how we give and show up in the world is how we receive. My natural desire to build community and connect with others brings me here today. Part of my role as a doula is empowering families by listening to their birth goals and holding space for them to make informed decisions. My goal is that the birthing person and team feel confident and grounded. Everyone has an inner self-power that can ignite in all situations! I am the friend one calls when they need a calm, centering voice of reassurance. My greatest joy is that I am a mother to my favorite human beings. My experience of motherhood and being an aunt of 10 adds another essential layer of depth to my work as a birth and postpartum care doula. Please contact me directly at “doulatalia.sf@gmail.com” Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

Hi! I'm Priya! I provide infant and maternal occupational therapy in home (San Francisco, Marin, Bay Area California) or virtually. My areas of specialty are: whole body torticollis treatment, baby helmet prevention, plagiocephaly, functional oral-motor evaluations, oral-motor therapy, breastfeeding therapy, pre/post frenectomy/frenotomy care & rehabilitation. The services I provide to parents and babies fill the gaps in our current healthcare system that offers constant prenatal care for mom, but then drops the ball as soon as the baby arrives. Our system often fails mothers and infants in their 4th trimester and the 1st year of baby’s life. This can lead to stress, guilt, fear and late-night googling for answers. It’s my mission to save as many families as I can the stress that can come with having a new baby! And by the way, I will always address infant and maternal health together, because wellness for mom and baby are intertwined. When I was stressed out and confused about what next steps were, so was my baby. I help parents save time researching and worrying so that they can parent infants and toddlers with more confidence. Whether you want some help with tummy time, a little peace of mind or your child needs a Balanced Babies OT approach for a specific concern like a “flat head” spot, torticollis, difficulty breastfeeding due to oral dysfunction, TOTs (i.e. lip or tongue ties), reach out. Listen, it takes a village. Many of us don’t have our village (yet), or our villages are a plane ride away. Allow me to be part of your village so that you can spend less time worrying and more time showering, sleeping and connecting with your baby! So when that nagging feeling that something is not quite right won’t quit, trust your parent gut. You know your child best.

I’m a certified doula specializing in postpartum care, a lactation counselor, and a pre/postnatal yoga teacher. My heart lies in blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to help families navigate the fourth trimester and help mothers fully heal from birth, step into their new identity of mother with confidence, and show up for their growing family from a centered place. I believe that when we care deeply for postpartum families, we cultivate communities that are honest, gentle, radical, and resilient. These are the communities that change the world.
