We’ve been so lucky to have Gabi as our newborn doula, providing both day and night support since our daughter was six weeks old. From the start, Gabi has been incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable, and caring - not just with our daughter but with our whole family as we’ve adjusted to life with a new baby. She brings such confidence, warmth, and positive energy to every visit, and it’s clear how passionate she is about supporting families during this special (and overwhelming!) time. Gabi has also been a wonderful resource, connecting us with others in the doula community and helping us feel supported in so many ways. We’re truly grateful we found her and cannot recommend her highly enough. Any family would be lucky to work with her and have her in their baby’s life!

I cannot recommend Larissa enough! As first-time parents with no experience around babies, we were completely lost. But from the moment Larissa arrived, her calm and nurturing presence changed everything. She guided us through newborn care, helped us navigate breastfeeding, and supported us with feeding, soothing, and establishing a comforting routine. Her patience, knowledge, and gentle encouragement gave us the confidence we desperately needed. We are so grateful for everything she did for our family!

She is kind, knowledgeable, and truly wonderful to have by your side during those early months. We can’t recommend her enough.

My name is Rebecca Garcia and I am thrilled you are seeking out a Doula for your journey. I have a strong energetic pull towards this life changing work, and I am so honored to be pursuing my passion as a birth worker. I love all things birth and feel that my strongest assets are listening, empathy, providing resources and cooking homemade meals for others. I tell all my clients, if there is a birth I am there. With all the stigma and negative depictions in the media surrounding birth, I want to ensure that my clients feel secure in all their decisions without any judgments. This Is Your Body, Your Birth & Only You Get To Make The Decisions That Works Best For You & Your Baby. I have two spirited little ones of my own; ages 4 and 6. I had doulas for both births and feel as though they made my birthing journey undeniably memorable. They feed me, hit pressure points during labor, loved me, educated me and most importantly encouraged me to find my voice and strength. These are the experiences I wish to provide to my future clients. I have experience in homebirths, birth centers & hospital settings. I understand that ones birthing journey is a sacred space, and wish to only support and offer any resources that may help aid in this time. If you are interested or just want to connect and talk anything birth, postpartum or baby please feel free to reach out. I am located in San Francisco and I am extending my services throughout the surrounding Bay Area. Virtual Options Also Provided

After my second was born, I had Rebecca as my night doula for 7 weeks and I can’t recommend her enough! I appreciated her compassion, attentive listening, and helpful tips on everything from breastfeeding to cradle cap. She really took care of me and the baby so I could rest and recover during that delicate postpartum period - providing me with encouragement and nourishment, and enabling me to appreciate the newborn phase!

Josy helped us care for our newborn daughter in the weeks after her birth. She did an amazing job of caring for our daughter. Josy was always highly professional, kind, empathetic, punctual, and helpful. She was able to give us tips and advice while also giving us much-needed rest during both daytime and nighttime shifts. We trusted her completely to take care of the baby, and she gave us an enormous amount of relief during those challenging first weeks. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Recent review

Wouldn't have survived the first year of parenthood without Katie. Her expertise is only matched by her sense of calm. She got my baby sleeping through the night faster than I could have imagined and 2 years later we haven't had a single regression. She walked us through potty training – one of the more stressful parenting situations I've encountered – and helped us cross every potty milestone. Couldn't recommend her more.

We started working with Jay when our son was 8 weeks old and struggling with very fragmented sleep, only managing 2–3 hour stretches at night. From the very beginning, Jay brought a calm, nurturing presence into our home and made an incredible difference. Within a short time, our son was sleeping 5–6 hour stretches, and we were finally able to rest and recover. Jay was not only incredibly sweet and gentle with him, but also deeply knowledgeable and thoughtful in her approach. She took the time to teach my husband and me practical, evidence-based strategies to support his sleep—both at night and during naps—and empowered us with tools we still use today. She was wonderfully communicative, flexible with our schedule, and always attuned to our baby’s unique needs and temperament. One of my favorite memories from that time was the night our son woke up just before Jay arrived for her shift. When she took him in her arms, he glanced over her shoulder at us and gave us the biggest smile as she walked away with him to the nursery—which was so shocking because he always wants us for bedtime. In that moment, we knew he truly loved her and felt completely safe and comforted in her care. It’s such a good feeling as parents to know your baby is in hands they trust and adore. Her presence brought such peace and reassurance during a vulnerable and exhausting phase of new parenthood. Jay didn’t just help our baby sleep—she helped us feel more confident, supported, and cared for as a family. We’re endlessly grateful for her guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parents seeking gentle, knowledgeable, and compassionate support.
