Recent review

Having Jamie by my side as my doula during two births was the best decision I made during pregnancy. She was was so helpful, sweet and compassionate. She helped me through labor at my most vulnerable time and also guided my husband through and helped him help me. She brought a sense of calm into the room and I truly don’t think I could’ve had the positive birth I had if it weren’t for her!

These 1:1 consults continue to help our family thrive/cope/enjoy/navigate the early years with our two sons. Mariana gives structure and expertise to all of our parenting hopes and wishes. Our little family is set up for success, and we couldn't be more appreciative! Our biggest takeaways have included how to build up practical activities in your home, how to frame your conversations with your child in a way that is developmentally appropriate, and how to balance affording our children autonomy while also ensuring that all their needs are met. Mariana and her varied supports are, without a doubt, the best parenting resource I've found in my 3+ years of parenthood.

Hi there! My name is Lindsey! I'm a Birth Doula, mom of a beautiful 13 month old baby boy, married to my best friend and was born and raised in the Bay Area! I have always had an immense level of respect and awe for birth, but it was really through my own pregnancy and natural, unmedicated and intervention free birth that a passion was ignited for serving women through this life-changing event. So many women lack the support they need to feel confident in the power they hold when they bring their babies into this world. My hope is that I can provide that support to you and help you achieve a positive birth experience. My goal for my clients is that you go into your birth feeling confident, empowered, educated, and in charge. I care that you've had a chance to access all of the information, have had time to ask questions, have had time to come to an answer and can give TRULY informed consent to any procedure. I also just really want to have a good time with you during one of the most incredible seasons of life. I'm so happy to meet you!

For as long as I can remember I've possessed a deep empathy and a desire to nurture others. After practicing massage therapy for seven years, I felt called to look for new and more impactful ways to serve and uplift using my skills and intuition. After having had two children of my own, the idea of working with families during their journey to parenthood felt like a natural direction to pursue. I received my certification in 2018 and I haven't looked back since! As a birth and postpartum doula I strive to offer intentional and evidence based support tailored to you, through active listening and acknowledgement of your personal truths and choices. I aim to become my highest self through service to others while embracing inclusivity and the beauty, complexity, and diversity within each individual and family.​ I support all families through the entire range of reproductive journeys.

Heather was the perfect person to Support us through our pregnancy journey and during the delivery of our daughter. Her gentle approach and deep knowledge made me feel confident that we’d work well together. She has great instincts as a doula, is kind, generous and flexible. It’s been two and a half years since we worked together and I still think about how fortunate I was to have the opportunity to work with Heather, especially when I’m around new moms who didn’t have this kind of support. She will remain a huge part of my healthy and joyful birthing experience. Thank you, Heather, for supporting me in ways I didn’t know I would need.

My journey as a doula began after years working as a nurse and witnessing how powerful support can be during birth. Becoming a doula allowed me to bring my passion for nursing back to life here in the U.S., after years of working as a nanny, and to continue caring for families in such a meaningful way.

Hey! My preferred name is Vivian.
