About me

Hello! My name is Joseane Ferreira, and I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in San Mateo, California. I bring over 8 years of hands-on experience supporting families during one of the most meaningful and transformative stages of life — welcoming a new baby. I specialize in newborn care, nighttime support, breastfeeding guidance, and helping families transition smoothly into the postpartum period. I am certified by the Hospital Friendly Doula (HFD) program and have advanced training as a Newborn Specialist (Colorado University), Lactation Educator (UC San Diego), and in Child Development (Abilene Program). I’m also CPR and First Aid certified by the Menlo Park Fire Department and proudly volunteer with birthing families at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley. My philosophy centers on empathy, education, and creating a safe, judgment-free space for parents. I believe every family deserves support that is calm, culturally sensitive, and empowering. Whether it’s holding space during recovery, assisting with baby’s sleep cues, or helping establish confident feeding routines, I’m here to walk alongside you — day or night. I speak English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I’m happy to support diverse families with warmth and respect.

I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Joseane de Jesus Ferreira on multiple occasions, and I can say with complete confidence that she is one of the most dedicated, knowledgeable, and compassionate doulas I’ve ever met. Joseane has been my trusted backup doula many times, and every single client she supported had nothing but praise for her work. Her calm presence, strong clinical knowledge, and deep empathy make families feel genuinely cared for and empowered — whether it’s during the intensity of labor or the delicate postpartum phase. She holds multiple certifications, including CPR and First Aid, Lactation Education, Newborn Care, and Child Development, and it shows in her confidence and ability to respond to any situation with grace and professionalism. If you’re looking for a doula who is fully committed, culturally sensitive, and deeply skilled, I wholeheartedly recommend Joseane. She goes above and beyond, and your family will be in the best possible hands. With gratitude, Maristela Davids Azevedo Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula
