I found Camila through Carrot’s recommended list of postpartum doulas, and as a first-time mom, I’ll admit I was nervous about having someone else care for my daughter. After our consultation, I had such a good feeling about Camila, and that’s where it all began. We had Camila with us for six weeks, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better postpartum doula. Her experience with babies is evident in everything she does. She cared for my daughter as if she were her own—with so much patience, love, and understanding, even through the most restless nights. Beyond caring for my daughter, Camila was also an incredible source of support for me. She gave me so many helpful tips and advice as a new mom, and I’m incredibly grateful for the confidence she helped give me during those early weeks. She was not only our doula but also became a friend who was there to help me navigate the ups and downs of new motherhood. Knowing my daughter was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to truly rest at night, which was invaluable during those first six weeks. I’m so grateful we found Camila and would highly recommend her to any new mom looking for compassionate, experienced, and trustworthy postpartum support. She was such an important part of our transition into parenthood, and we’ll always appreciate everything she did for our family.

Hi! My name is Evelin Souza, and I am a Certified Postpartum Doula serving Walnut Creek and surrounding East Bay communities. I have been supporting mothers and newborns since becoming certified in 2021. Over the years, I have had the privilege of caring for many families and newborns, especially through overnight support, and I can provide excellent professional references. I would describe myself as calm, patient, nurturing, respectful, flexible, and professional. I believe every family is unique, so I always take the time to understand what is important to each parent and adapt my support to their individual needs, preferences, and parenting choices. I provide judgment-free support and want parents to feel comfortable and supported in my presence. During overnight care, my goal is to create a calm and peaceful environment where parents can rest and recover while knowing their baby is being cared for with love and attention. I have extensive experience with newborn care, feeding support, bottle feeding, soothing, diapering, burping, newborn cues, and helping parents better understand their baby’s needs and feel more confident as they navigate the newborn stage. I also support breastfeeding mothers within my scope as a postpartum doula while fully respecting every family’s feeding choices. I believe caring for the mother is just as important as caring for the baby. I am a good listener and provide a safe and compassionate space for mothers to talk, feel heard, and feel supported during the emotional transition into motherhood. When something is beyond my scope, I encourage families to connect with the appropriate professional support. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist specializing in lymphatic drainage, which has given me an even deeper appreciation for postpartum recovery and caring for mothers as a whole. Above all, I want the families I support to feel safe, respected, cared for, and more rested. It is very special to me to become a trusted part of a family’s support system during such an important chapter of their lives.

Parents: please share your EDD & contact info in the message body 🙏🏾 Birth doula of 13 years. This is my calling in life to be of service to labor/birth. I’m very grateful to have this as my service in this lifetime and believe every new life is a gift to be honored with care, love and respect for the process. Trained in techniques that encourage optimal fetal positioning by finding balance in the body (more comfort during pregnancy as well as labor/birth) optimal positioning helps labor be more comfortable, increasing odds of a efficient and smoother vaginal birth. I share these techniques with my clients in the third trimester to decrease the use of interventions & prevent trauma. Also practicing placenta encapsulation and massage therapy at Full Moon Birth & Family Wellness Center.

We had the most magical natural unmedicated birth experience in a hospital and we owe so much of it to Gretchen. Right from our first interaction when we were interviewing birth doulas, we were drawn by her warm nature. Her prenatal visits were extremely helpful be it the exercises she taught us to enable an optimal baby position for birth or her inputs into crafting our birth plan. We would have been lost with the information overload if not for her timely, targeted and super informative educational resources that have been extremely helpful to us as first time parents. She has always been a text or phone call away to address anything we needed. She brought in a sign of relief when she entered the labor room...her calming presence during my final stretch of labor and the positions she guided me through definitely helped me avoid an epidural. The icing on the cake was her singing a lullaby to our little one upon birth, it felt divine. She also captured beautiful moments of our baby's birth that we will cherish forever. I will always remember her positive affirmation 'You are stronger than you think!'. Can't thank you enough Gretchen for being the rockstar that you are and all your support to growing families :)

Hi, my name is Katelyn, and I’m a certified Full-Spectrum doula. I have experience supporting families through VBAC, high-risk pregnancies, and IVF journeys. I believe that every birth story is unique, and my role is to provide steady, compassionate support—emotionally, physically, and informationally—through each step of the process. My background includes working closely with clients navigating complex or medically supported births, and I’m deeply committed to creating a calm, empowering space where families feel safe, heard, and in control of their choices. Whether you’re preparing for a vaginal birth after cesarean, managing a high-risk pregnancy, welcoming a baby after fertility treatment, or have a generally "normal" pregnancy, I’m here to walk beside you with care and confidence. It’s an honor to support families during such a transformative time, and I’m grateful to be part of this work.

Katelyn is a wonderful doula and I would highly recommend her and her services in your pregnancy and/or postpartum journey. She provides services throughout the Bay Area including the peninsula (such as Mountain View & Palo Alto), South Bay, and many parts of the East Bay. As a second time mom, I knew I would need some extra help during the fourth trimester. From the initial consultation, I knew Katelyn would be a great fit. She's professional, communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and responsible -- all qualities you would want in a doula who is caring for you and your new little one. I ended up engaging Katelyn for postpartum daytime services which was one of the best decisions. She made the postpartum experience so much smoother, easier, and less stressful. She helped with meal prep, laundry, and light household tasks, as well as provided education on the postpartum period and how to properly baby wrap and wear using a boba (cloth) wrap. She also cared for my baby so that I could do other things like shower, eat, and rest. This allowed me to focus on my recovery and bonding time with my baby. Katelyn also accepts Carrot benefits and Kaiser insurance, which is a huge plus for those who are eligible. If you're looking for an understanding, supportive, and empathetic doula, look no further! Katelyn would be a huge asset to any birthing person in their pregnancy and/or postpartum journey.

With over seven years of experience caring for babies and children as a caregiver, I have always felt called to nurture, support, and uplift families during life's most tender moments. Ever since stepping foot in the postpartum care world, I found my passion and truly fell in love. As a doula, I offer gentle, hands-on support to new mothers and their families during the sacred postpartum period. My care is rooted not only in deep compassion and intuition, but also in the latest evidence-based practices and research in postpartum care, infant development, and maternal health. My philosophy is that when science and heart come together, families feel more confident, supported, and empowered. I show up with a calm presence, knowledge, and unconditional care.

Luiza was our postpartum doula for a total of eight weeks, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience with her. From our very first phone conversation, she immediately put so many of the worries my husband and I had at ease. We had a million questions as first-time parents, and by the end of that call, we both knew we had found our doula. We were even more impressed when we met her in person for our prenatal visit. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but what stood out to us was how well she teaches. She walked us through newborn care, feeding, sleep, and so many things we hadn't even thought to ask about. We left feeling so much more prepared and confident for our son's arrival. Over those weeks, she helped us establish a good feeding schedule, encouraged healthy sleep habits, helped us create a routine, and taught us so much about our baby along the way. She also helped us with all of the little things that no one really prepares you for — organizing our bottle washing area, bath-time tricks, setting up the nursery in a way that actually made sense, and finding routines that made our everyday life with a newborn so much easier. Her support with sleep shaping was especially helpful. By the end of our time together, we genuinely did not want her to leave. Luiza became someone we trusted completely and someone we now hold very dear to our hearts. If you're reading this review because you're considering booking Luiza, do it. You will be doing yourself and your family a favor. Having her support during those first weeks with our son was one of the best decisions we made, and we will always be grateful for her.
