Faith had truly become an extension of our family for the first 3 months of our daughter's life! We started working with Faith when our daughter was less than a week old, and from the beginning she brought such a calm, confident, and warm presence into our home during the chaotic time of early parenthood with a newborn. She is very trustworthy, prompt, and reliable. For my husband, she represented safety and stability as he knew our daughter was safe and we could have a good night's sleep. For me, she was also a trusted mentor into motherhood - both from her professional training and her experience of being a mother to 3 children. She helped me navigate breastfeeding/pumping and how much my baby was eating, she taught us how to calm an overtired crying newborn, hunger vs overtiredness cues, transitioning from a swaddle to a sleep sack, fussiness from vaccines, and more. After 3 months of working with Faith 5 nights per week, we felt like we were finally ready to 'graduate' from Faith and tackle parenthood ourselves as our daughter was easily sleeping 9+ hour stretches at night in her bassinet! I cannot overstate how grateful we are to Faith for her help and guidance with our daughter during those first 3 months - we would have been lost (and extremely sleep deprived) without her. I know she enabled me to be a better mother to my daughter during the days and to have time heal from birth. Faith will be one of our first calls if we have more children! We would love the opportunity to work with her again.

YOU NEED A DOULA!!! If you're on the fence about whether or not you should get a doula, I'll save you the time of reading the rest of this review. The answer is YES! And Dr Rae is 1000000/10! Having a doula should be a requirement to give birth. I really would not have made it through my birth without Dr Rae. I had a traumatic birth with my first so going into my second pregnancy/birth I knew I wanted extra support. Dr Rae has a really strong medical background so not only did she provide incredible emotional support but I felt really confident having her on my support team because I knew she could help calm my anxiety and reassure me everything was ok or what signs to look out for if it wasn't. During labor she provided coping tools (god bless that TENS machine and massage gun!!) and position changes. She was right there with me rubbing my back through contractions and coaching me through pushing. She helped my baby latch right after birth and made sure I was settled in the postpartum unit before leaving. My husband was great and all but I truly couldn't have done it without Dr Rae to provide all the experience and knowledge (even he said he wouldn't have known what to do and was so thankful for Dr Rae)! I had such a positive birth and Dr Rae will always hold a special place in my heart because of it.

Responds within a day Accepts insurance

My name is Shakila Marando, and I am the founder of DOULAS by the BAY. I am a mother of two and have spent over 25 years working with children and families, including the last 17 years supporting families as a doula through pregnancy, birth, and the early newborn days. This work comes from a deep belief that no family should ever feel alone during this journey. I work closely alongside our team of doulas, sharing the same commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care. Together, we have supported thousands of families across Northern and Southern California, providing steady guidance, reassurance, and hands-on support when it matters most. Our doulas are carefully selected, certified, and deeply cared for. Every team member is Birth and Postpartum Certified, Perinatal Mood Disorders Certified, CPR trained, HIPAA compliant, fully vetted, and insured. With ongoing mentorship and professional development, we ensure families receive safe, reliable, and heart-centered care in their homes. I created DOULAS by the BAY to build a trusted, supportive space where families feel seen, informed, and confident—while expanding access to doula care and strengthening our community, one family at a time.

Shakila is the best there is. We did not have a night doula for our first child. For our second, we needed one because I had to go back to work right away. I was very nervous about leaving my baby with someone else during the night hours, particularly at just two weeks. Shakila let me control as much of the process as I wanted to so I always felt like she was doing what I wanted. She has a magical touch with babies and had our daughter sleeping through the night by two months old. She would not even leave in the morning until the baby was back to sleep, which allowed us an extra hour of sleep on top of the time she was with us. She was worth every penny and then some. THANK YOU SHAKILA! We miss you.

Evelin Gomes

Hi! My name is Evelin Souza, and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula serving Walnut Creek and surrounding East Bay communities. I have been supporting mothers and newborns since becoming certified in 2021. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for many families and newborns, especially through overnight support, and I can provide excellent professional references. I would describe myself as calm, patient, nurturing, respectful, flexible, and professional. I believe every family is unique, so I always take the time to understand what is important to each parent and adapt my support to their individual needs, preferences, and parenting choices. I provide judgment-free support and want parents to feel comfortable and supported in my presence. During overnight care, my goal is to create a calm and peaceful environment where parents can rest and recover while knowing their baby is being cared for with love and attention. I have extensive experience with newborn care, feeding support, bottle feeding, soothing, diapering, burping, newborn cues, and helping parents better understand their baby’s needs and feel more confident as they navigate the newborn stage. I also support breastfeeding mothers within my scope as a postpartum doula while fully respecting every family’s feeding choices. I believe caring for the mother is just as important as caring for the baby. I am a good listener and provide a safe and compassionate space for mothers to talk, feel heard, and feel supported during the emotional transition into motherhood. When something is beyond my scope, I encourage families to connect with the appropriate professional support. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in lymphatic drainage, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for postpartum recovery and caring for mothers as a whole. Above all, I want the families I support to feel safe, respected, cared for, and more rested. It is very special to me to become a trusted part of a family’s support system during such an important chapter of their lives.

Katelyn is a wonderful doula and I would highly recommend her and her services in your pregnancy and/or postpartum journey. She provides services throughout the Bay Area including the peninsula (such as Mountain View & Palo Alto), South Bay, and many parts of the East Bay. As a second time mom, I knew I would need some extra help during the fourth trimester. From the initial consultation, I knew Katelyn would be a great fit. She's professional, communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and responsible -- all qualities you would want in a doula who is caring for you and your new little one. I ended up engaging Katelyn for postpartum daytime services which was one of the best decisions. She made the postpartum experience so much smoother, easier, and less stressful. She helped with meal prep, laundry, and light household tasks, as well as provided education on the postpartum period and how to properly baby wrap and wear using a boba (cloth) wrap. She also cared for my baby so that I could do other things like shower, eat, and rest. This allowed me to focus on my recovery and bonding time with my baby. Katelyn also accepts Carrot benefits and Kaiser insurance, which is a huge plus for those who are eligible. If you're looking for an understanding, supportive, and empathetic doula, look no further! Katelyn would be a huge asset to any birthing person in their pregnancy and/or postpartum journey.

Dainara was such a huge help during my postpartum recovery. She is a very calm, caring, and attentive person, both with the baby and with me. What I appreciated most was how she always respected our routine and preferences while still offering help and guidance whenever we needed it. Having someone you can trust during this time, especially on those difficult nights, makes such a big difference. She is a wonderful professional, and I would definitely recommend her!

Having Raika watch over our baby was a great experience. She was professional, sweet, and very easy to work with. We felt at ease knowing our little one was being looked after, and her help made the night much easier for us. We’re glad we had the opportunity to work with her and would absolutely recommend her to other parents!
