I couldn't have done it without her! While I was pregnant, especially as my due date approached, Mama T checked in on me more than my family. We talked about my birth plan, options, sounds, snacks, scents, and what to expect. I had complete trust in her. Her calm demeanor had me entering into my labor with confidence. During labor, she stayed present with me and went through each contraction reminding me it was only a minute...I could do it! During the postpartum period, she was essential as well. I didn't have family close so see continued to check on me and the baby, coaching me through new parent jitters. I highly recommend Therese and really feel I couldn't have done it without her.

My journey as a doula began after years working as a nurse and witnessing how powerful support can be during birth. Becoming a doula allowed me to bring my passion for nursing back to life here in the U.S., after years of working as a nanny, and to continue caring for families in such a meaningful way.

I have always been passionate about doing work that provides deep, meaningful support. After years of working as a nanny, and my own experience in becoming a mother, I found the support for new parents to be nearly non-existent. When my kids were born I felt very unprepared and alone. I became a doula because I know how hard postpartum is. I know how it feels to be exhausted, overwhelmed, and unsure of yourself as a new parent. I also know it doesn't have to feel that way. My business was brought to life because of my passion for helping new families not just survive those early postpartum days and weeks, but to thrive. You don't need to do this alone. As a new parent, you deserve as much nurturing care and community as your baby. I want parents everywhere to flourish during postpartum. You deserve to be heard, cared for, and allowed to rest. Being able to provide non-judgmental support, warmth, and ease some of the stress of those early days of parenthood is truly my passion and a dream come true. When I'm not caring for amazing families you'll find me enjoying my kids, our two cats, reading, and gardening.

Janae is a phenomenal doula, she taught me and partner so much about our son and gave us total peace of mind when she was with him. Highly, highly recommend.

I am a compassionate and non-judgmental person who takes joy in helping families build confidence in their parenting roles.

Through my work as a Doula , I've noticed the difficulties parents encounter in getting their babies to sleep through the night. This is what led me to become a Sleep consultant. I believe that embodying the role of a Doula means being a friend, a confidant, and someone capable of guiding the family to stay focused on what truly matters.

Hi my name is Allison! Helping families with breastfeeding is my passion. As a mother myself, I've gone through feeding struggles firsthand. What I've learned is that having good support is key to getting feeding off to a great start. Being a young mom with a baby in the NICU and going through pre-eclampsia without support, ignited the fire in me to help others have the support that I needed during that fragile time. I completed my IBCLC certification through UC San Diego Extention under Dr. Gini Baker in 2019 and did my clinical work at SJGH's NICU wing. I currently offer in home lactation consults in the San Joaquin and Sacramento areas, as well as virtual consults.

Kirstie was so amazing in guiding me through my birth. She taught me about having a birth plan and having it written it out so that doctors would follow my wishes. A birth plan was something I hadn’t even thought of but Kirstie was instrumental in helping me think ahead and giving me the best chance of having a safe birth for me and baby. She was also great in my postpartum. She checked in often and helped me breastfeeding. Teaching me massage that help milk production and foods I can eat also to help my milk supply. She thinks about all your needs before you even realize you need it. She’s a warm, calming presence to have at your most vulnerable time. There’s no other person I would recommend when looking for help in your birth and postpartum journey. Kirstie is simply the best!

I’m Katie Galvin, Postpartum Doula and Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner. After my own experience with “postpartum anxiety & depression,” (which was really undiagnosed postpartum thyroiditis) I decided to become a functional practitioner to help other moms navigate common postpartum hormonal changes using a holistic approach. Conventional medicine often fails new moms by dismissing their concerns or offering pills as the only solutions to common (but not normal) symptoms like: anxiety, depression, irregular/heavy/painful periods, insomnia, hot flashes, etc. There are better options! I use functional lab testing to identify imbalances in the body and help bring it back into balance through functional nutrition and lifestyle changes so moms can get back to feeling their best!
