I’m also a proud mom of three grown children and love reading, exploring California, and spending time with my family. Calm nights. Compassionate care. With loving hands. 🤍

Hey there! I’m Sabrina, owner of Little Sprout Doula and I’m thrilled to connect with you! I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in San Francisco, California. My journey in the birthing world started as a volunteer with the San Francisco General Hospital Birth doula program. It was such a rewarding experience, and I learned so much about how to support expectant moms and their families. After that, I had the opportunity to work at San Francisco's very first postpartum retreat center. There, I gained valuable insights into the postpartum period. Last year alone, I’ve had the joy of helping over 50 families through their postpartum journeys, and it’s been incredibly rewarding! I also participated in Sutter Hospital's Birth Doula Pilot program, where I got to dive even deeper into this work. Plus, I’ve taken a UC San Diego Lactation Educator course and completed a Spinning Babies workshop because I’m passionate about empowering expectant individuals and their families on this wonderful journey. My focus is now in birth doula support. I can't wait to share my knowledge and support with you. Let’s connect and start this amazing adventure together!

I have been a career nanny in San Francisco for 13 years , I have worked steadily for two families that entire time. Since all 4 kids I have helped raise ( two sets of twins) are all now in school, Doula work seemed like a perfect transition. Last year I got my Postpartum Doula license and this year I have been working on my Lactation Consult Certificate. I try very hard to stay current on all pediatric reccomendations for infant care, I am fully vaccinated , current on infant CPR training and I have pristine reccomendations. I feel as if I have been taking care of babies my whole life first, as an aunt, then mama and now I am loving life as a young and energetic Grammy. I get so much satisfaction helping new parents transition succesfully into their new roles as parents. I have had the privilege of helping my daughter for a month postpartum with both of her births, as my mom helped me. It is an honor when I get to step into that role for parents without access to family. Thank you for your consideration, Julia

Hi families! My name is Selina, I am 23 years old, born and raised in San Francisco. I am a current nursing student at the University of San Francisco pursuing my degree in Nursing. I am currently a Postnatal Care Specialist, in the process of earning my postpartum doula certification, and eventually a labor and delivery nurse! My passion for newborn care came to me when I went through a traumatic experience where I didn't have any support when I needed it the most. I then came across the Village Retreat Center in San Francisco, where I currently am employed part time, and realized how much support and words of encouragement can go a long way. My experience thus far has put me in a position where I am glad to be able to be that person in a room to lend a helping hand to give support and words of encourage along the way in families' journeys.

I know how difficult it can be adjusting to new motherhood. Coping with a changing body and fluctuating hormones can leave you feeling confused, frightened and isolated. Trauma can impact your life until it feels like it IS you and not just something that happened TO you. It can feel like the trauma has destroyed your ability to function. I successfully raised an amazing son despite not knowing how to bond with him after his release from the NICU and while experiencing postpartum depression. I did not know how I was going to cope with his traumatic birth or feel like the self I was before, but I found a way to thrive with a little guidance from a postpartum depression therapist. And, my experience led me to specialize in birth trauma therapy. I decided to concentrate on perinatal mental health because of the lived experience I had with these challenges and because I feel that the bond between a mother and her baby is one of the most powerfully healing relationships that exist. I feel that if I can help guide mothers on their path to wellness, they can be more present and attuned to their babies. This strengthened relationship heals the mother and gives the baby what they need to form a solid foundation upon which all future relationships are built. A healthy mama can provide her baby with what they need to thrive, and I feel that everyone deserves a chance to thrive and to live a connected and fulfilling life. The help of a postpartum therapist can be invaluable on this journey. You can feel better. You can bond with your baby and form a connection that will help you both heal. I use EMDR and CBT to help you overcome a traumatic childbirth, NICU stay or other frightening events and process the associated feelings successfully. I offer EMDR and EMDR intensives to treat the reemergence of childhood trauma after becoming a mom. With over 20 years experience as a postpartum therapist in California, 15 years working with perinatal women, and a Perinatal Mental Heath Certification (PMH-C), I can help guide you on your parenting journey. Reach out to a perinatal therapist today to get started.
