Blessings to you. Thank you for jumping in profile.

I have been on both sides of the labor and delivery journey as a nurse, I see mothers choosing what is best for them and advocating for them, whether going fully natural to using medicinal means to deliver. I know that with teamwork, belief, trust, releasing all fears, and encompassing a peaceful space that birthing your beautiful bundle will come easy.

I enjoy teaching Zumba, serving in our children's ministry, and showing off my green thumb.

I began my doula journey in July of 2024, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through the beautiful, transformative experience of childbirth. Whether I’m helping first-time parents navigate the birth process or providing reassurance to parents welcoming their second, third, or even more children, my role is to create a space of calm, connection, and empowerment. I am a certified doula through The Circle Family Center, an organization dedicated to supporting expectant parents through educational classes, workshops, and community groups. Their holistic approach to parenthood has shaped my practice, and I strive to mirror that support by helping parents feel informed, confident, and fully supported throughout their birth journey. As your doula, my focus is on your unique needs and desires, ensuring that you feel heard, respected, and empowered during your birth experience. I am here to offer physical, emotional, and informational support before, during, and after labor, helping you feel calm, confident, and fully present for one of the most important moments of your life. Your body knows how to birth and having a support team to ensure, guide, and advocate for you during this process is so important to having an empowering birth you can look back on. Whether you’re planning a home birth, a hospital birth, or anything in between, I look forward to supporting you as you bring new life into the world. I cannot wait to chat with you.

Childbirth has always been very intertwined with my life. I owe some of that to my mother, who planned home births for all of her children. I am the oldest of us four, and my labor was long and hard. I grew up hearing the story of the four day marathon of labor, hospital transfer, and, ultimately, the beautiful birth that brought me into the world. My brother was born when I was almost three, on a hot July day. I have some memories of this day, but nothing very clear. My mom remembers me bringing her a cool glass of water between contractions. Some might say I became a doula that day. When I was 6, my mom became pregnant again. I was absolutely thrilled to be having a baby sister. I remember going to midwife appointments at the midwife’s home in Sebastopol, listening to my sister’s heartbeat, and enjoying every moment of it. Her labor started some time during the night. This time, it was Winter. My mom spent most of her labor in front of the woodburning stove in our living room with my dad applying counter pressure to her back. I remember she had thigh high socks to wear specifically for labor, because she didn’t want to wear pants, but knew her legs would be cold. In the early afternoon, she began pushing on our couch. The midwives were always close by, creating a sense of safety and calm, one of them singing as my sister was born. I stood at the end of the couch, and saw my sister’s head slowly emerge, and then the rest of her body slip out. She immediately went to my mom’s chest and crawled to the breast herself. I was entranced by birth at this moment. In the weeks after, I told my mom I wanted to become a midwife. The last baby was born when I was 10 years old. I was again elated to be around pregnancy and looking forward to the birth. My mom labored all through the night, and when the sun rose, her intuition told her she needed to go to the hospital and get some rest. No one thinks that a fourth baby will take 17 hours to be born, but sometimes they do! After my mom got a few hours of rest, my grandparents took us to the hospital to join her. She felt that birth was a family affair, and believed that children should be a part of birth. I also would have been furious with her if I didn’t get to be there. My sister entered the world, and I got to cut the umbilical cord and be the first to hold her after my mom. I took my first doula training with Connie Sultana in 2024 and since then have attended almost 50 births. I am in constant pursuit of knowledge, each birth teaching me something different. I am now a Cornerstone Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula and Evidence Based Birth® instructor. I am always striving to be able to provide the best support I can for my clients. I am currently pursuing becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife. As of 2026, I have completed nursing prerequisite courses, including biology, chemistry anatomy, physiology, and microbiology and look forward to beginning an RN program in Fall of 2026. I use the knowledge I have gained of the human body through my formal education to help inform the support I provide so that my clients can understand what is happening with their body and their baby. For most people, childbirth is the time in their lives where they will be asked to be the most medically literate, which is intimidating for most working outside of healthcare. The education I have has given me the language and tools to communicate and learn from nurses, midwives, and doctors during births, so that I can understand and interpret information for my clients. After becoming a registered nurse, I plan to attend graduate school to obtain my degree and certification as a Certified Nurse Midwife and practice in a hospital based setting.

Greetings, my name is Faviola and I am a certified Doula specializing in night support. I have over 6 years of experience in infant care and sleep training. I enjoy supporting families to adjust their new routine with their newborn, creating a guided and safe environment. Servicing Sacramento and surrounding counties. A bit about me, I lived in Elk Grove for 9 years now. My family, our two kids, kitties named Grayzie and Oliver along with our 5 chickens and a duck, have really enjoyed living here so far.

I believe every family deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental care and someone in their corner every step of the way.

Whether you're planning an unmedicated birth, epidural, induction, cesarean birth, VBAC, home or hospital, I meet you where you are and help you feel empowered to make the decisions that are right for your family. In addition to birth support, I provide lactation support, birth planning, postpartum guidance, and placenta encapsulation services.

As a birth and postpartum doula serving Sonoma county(and the East Bay), I offer holistic doula services designed to empower expecting mamas—especially BIPOC individuals. My practice is motivated by a deep commitment to providing an empathetic, kind, and helpful service throughout your birthing journey.

At the same time, I am dedicated to addressing the systemic inequities often faced in labor and delivery, providing a compassionate, evidence-based approach tailored to your needs.

While growing my own family, I felt deeply called to birth work and became a doula. Over time I discovered that my greatest passion lives in the fourth trimester—supporting mothers and families as they transition, heal, and find their rhythm together. As a postpartum doula, I focus on nurturing the mother, creating steadiness in the home, and helping the whole family integrate this new chapter with care, confidence, and connection. My goal is to provide grounded support so you feel seen, rested, and truly supported during this tender and transformative time.

My role as a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula is to support parents and provide nurturing, responsive care to infants in their first 4 months of life (age adjusted.) I offer evidence-based care and resources, and help set realistic expectations for those early days with a newborn (or multiple babies.) It’s an honor to help you become more confident in yourself, help you get the rest you need, and support your goals for your family’s life. Whether your priority is setting routines, stretching sleep durations, maximizing your milk supply, or learning the basics of baby care - I’m here to respectfully partner with you along the way. In time, you’ll believe that you know your baby best and you’re what they need the most. Services offered include daytime or overnight newborn care, postpartum support, lactation education, parent instruction on infant safety, developmental milestones, hygiene, sleep shaping, feeding, infant routines, nursery set-up, and recognizing the signs of postpartum mood and anxiety disorders (this is strictly educational.) While I encourage self monitoring and action planning for postpartum mood disorders as early as possible, I do not diagnose or treat any conditions. I am not a licensed medical professional. On a case-by-case basis, I offer sleep coaching (through video, phone call, or in-person consultations), and sleep training (in-person support for no more than 4 nights/days only if an infant is at least 5 months old, and at least 8 hours per night.) Sleep conditioning (in which I support your family in setting a healthy sleep foundation and form sustainable routines) is a complimentary part of my NCS services. In many cases, more rigorous “sleep training” is not necessarily needed. I’m a Safe Sleep Ambassador trained through Cribs for Kids. Please be advised that I strictly adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics Safe Sleep Recommendations while babies are in my care: this includes placing baby to sleep alone, on their back - on a firm, flat sleep surface that is free of objects - in a crib/pack n’ play/bassinet without bumpers, blankets, pacifier clips, or toys. I support all types of families that follow various traditions, practices, and philosophies without judgement. As a professional and non-family member, it’s especially important I model and adhere to AAP recommendations and evidence-based practices during the time I work.

I believe in 'mothering the mother'—offering calm, non-judgmental, and practical support to help you navigate this incredible journey. I would be honored to hold space for you and help you welcome your baby with confidence.
