Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce myself to you and share a little about what I do! My name is Kirsten Junghans and I am a DTI full spectrum doula, sleep trainer and postpartum chef. I serve the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a single mother to an 11 year old kiddo named Ivy. As a doula my job is to make sure you know that your curiosities, concerns and questions are valid. The need to be reassured and supported are normal and valid as well. I am an advocate for all birthing individuals. With that being said, it is my responsibility and honor to comfort and support you in labor. I will tirelessly advocate for you to have the birth you want, to answer your questions and to explain what is happening. However, I will not be taking away your power by making every decision for you. This is your body, your birth and your baby. My job as your advocate and support person is to make sure you are informed of all your options, so that you don't ever lose your rights to bodily autonomy when you walk into the hospital. As your advocate I will do my utmost to support you and your choices while explaining your options to you. You are still in control, and that is very important to me! As a postpartum doula, I never overlook the importance of following up with you after your baby's birth. I will support you in the days, weeks or even months afterward. There are many types of support I offer including, feeding support, emotional support, helping you find a rhythm, preparing meals, and holding the baby so you can sleep. Everything I do is done to empower you and help you feel confident in your new role. The most important thing I do during the postpartum period is encourage you to rest and bond with your new baby. The weeks after birth are an immensely beautiful and emotional time. This is not the time to worry about cleaning and jumping back into your normal life. It's time to rest and get to know the child you've waited so long to meet!

I’m Marquita, a Full Spectrum Birth & Postpartum Doula and founder of Root & Rose Wellness, serving families with compassionate, culturally responsive, and judgment-free care throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and major reproductive transitions. My approach blends evidence-informed education, practical hands-on support, advocacy, emotional care, and deep respect for each family’s individual choices. I support clients in preparing for birth, navigating hospital and healthcare systems, understanding their options, building confidence in their own decision-making, and creating a postpartum experience that prioritizes recovery—not just baby care. As a postpartum doula, I provide daytime and overnight support, newborn care, feeding and lactation support, maternal recovery assistance, meal and household support, education, and space for parents to rest and adjust to life with their new baby. I am also expanding my lactation expertise through advanced IBCLC pathway training. My full-spectrum practice includes birth and postpartum care, pregnancy loss and bereavement support, abortion support, Reiki, and connection to community resources when families need additional support. I have a particular commitment to improving the pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and breastfeeding experiences of Black families and other families who have historically experienced inequities in maternal healthcare. At the same time, my practice welcomes families of all backgrounds, identities, structures, and birth preferences. Whether you’re preparing for your first birth, welcoming another baby, recovering after delivery, navigating feeding, or simply realizing that you were never meant to do postpartum alone, my goal is to help you feel informed, supported, rested, and cared for. Root & Rose Wellness is more than birth support—it’s whole-family care during one of life’s biggest transitions.
