Find a Doula Near Me in Manteca, CA

Hi, I’m Emma—founder of Solstice Birth Co, and a birth worker with over a decade of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. My journey into this work began in a deeply personal way—witnessing birth as a child, I was struck by how powerful, raw, and transformative it was. That early experience stayed with me and ultimately led me down the path of midwifery. Years later, I went on to have my own home birth with my daughter in 2009—an experience that further rooted my belief in the body’s innate wisdom and the importance of feeling safe, supported, and truly seen during birth. I went on to train as a traditionally trained midwife (CPM, LM), working hands-on with families across California and building a strong clinical and intuitive foundation in the midwifery model of care—one that honors pregnancy and birth as physiologic, sacred, and deeply human experiences. At this time, I am no longer offering home birth midwifery care. Instead, I’ve shifted into a more integrative and supportive role—one that allows me to walk alongside women and families in a deeply personalized way through Solstice Birth Co.

Gentle & nurturing support for families to ease the transition through the postpartum period.

I am a 25 year old mother of two, and my journey into becoming a doula is deeply rooted in my own birth experiences. I’ve had both a hospital birth and two unassisted, natural home births, which gave me a well-rounded perspective on how powerful and capable women are when they feel supported, safe, and heard. During my first birth in a hospital setting, I found myself having to advocate strongly for my own choices, which opened my eyes to how essential it is for mothers to have someone in their corner. What led me to this work is my belief that mothers deserve to be at the center of their birth experience. While the focus often shifts to the baby, a mother’s physical, emotional, and mental well being is just as important especially during and after delivery. Birth environments, particularly hospitals, can sometimes feel chaotic or overwhelming, but with the right support and advocacy, they can also be calm, respectful, and empowering spaces. I understand that while many women desire home births, not all have that option, especially in higher risk situations. As a doula, my role is to help create a peaceful, supportive atmosphere wherever birth takes place, while ensuring that each mother’s voice is heard, respected, and honored throughout her journey.

Hi, my name is Leyla. I’m in my mid-30s and have full permission to work in the U.S. I’m originally from Peru, where I earned a degree in elementary education.

Greetings! My name is JJ (she/her) and I am a Full Spectrum Doula. I completed my Full Spectrum Doula training with Reclaim Our Birth Power Academy, which is an Afro-Indigenous Traditional Full Spectrum Birthworker school. The training I received there helped me to realize that my main role as a doula is to give you the information, support and care that you need to step into your power so that you can make decisions about your care based on your needs, wants and desires.

Hi, I'm Eve! As a mother of two with a background in Child Development and years spent teaching infants and young children, I know how profound and disorienting the early stages of parenthood can be. I know the questions you didn't expect to have, the vulnerability you didn't see coming, and how much it would have meant to have someone simply show up and hold it all with me. That knowing is what led me here. At the heart of it, what I care about most is human connection: being genuinely present with people during the moments that matter most is where I feel most alive in my work. My approach is rooted in the belief that postpartum care should feel like an exhale. Our society underrecognizes how profound this season truly is, and that gap is exactly where my heart lies. I show up without judgment, without a script, and without a single "right" way to do any of this. Every experience you have belongs, including the hard ones. Whether I'm helping you rest, supporting a feed, processing emotions, or simply being a calm presence in the room, my goal is the same: to validate what you're feeling, encourage you at every turn, and remind you to trust yourself. You were never meant to hold this alone.
