Lactation Consultants & IBCLCs Near Me in Oakley, CA

Your Soft Landing Into Postpartum ♡ The journey doesn’t end at birth. Neither should your care. Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most profound transformations you’ll ever experience. Your body, your identity, your relationships, and your entire world shift to make room for new life. It’s beautiful, tender, exhausting, and sometimes overwhelming. And you deserve to feel deeply supported through all of it. At Soft Landing Postpartum, we believe the fourth trimester deserves just as much intention, preparation, and care as pregnancy and birth. Soft Landing Postpartum is a postpartum doula agency serving Greater Sacramento and Sonoma County. Founded by a Licensed Midwife, our practice grew from a deep understanding of the physiological and emotional transformation that unfolds after birth, and a desire to fill the gap in care so many families experience during this vulnerable season. Our team of experienced postpartum doulas and newborn care specialists offers thoughtful, individualized care that blends evidence-based knowledge with the wisdom of traditional postpartum practices. How we care for you: * Overnight newborn care: Rest easy knowing your baby is in experienced, loving hands while you get the restorative sleep you need. * Daytime postpartum support: Nourishing meals, light household care, newborn education, emotional support, and space for you to rest and recover. * Lactation and feeding support: Compassionate, judgment-free guidance from experienced providers and IBCLCs. * Postpartum bodywork and recovery: Belly binding, gentle movement, breathwork, and somatic support to help you reconnect with your body. * Infant sleep support: Gentle, developmentally appropriate guidance as your family finds its rhythm. Whether you’re welcoming your first baby, growing your family, recovering from a cesarean, navigating a NICU transition, or simply longing for a little more rest, we meet you exactly where you are. We serve families throughout Greater Sacramento and Sonoma County, offering care that feels less like a service and more like the village you were always meant to have. Our hope is simple: that you feel rested, nourished, confident, and held as you settle into this new chapter. Because you deserve more than just getting through postpartum. You deserve to be cared for, too. We would be honored to be part of your village. Let’s create your soft landing. ♡ Schedule a complimentary discovery call to explore what support could look like for your family. www.softlandingpostpartum.com

A love of all things pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding came from having my two sons. Helping mamas and babies is truly a passion.

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and I am the middle child to two brothers. I grew up in a tight-knit family filled with mostly women so pregnancy was around me my whole life. I was always there when family members came home helping care for them and the baby in whatever I could. I started out as a pre-school teacher and a special education teacher’s assistant, both roles I enjoyed. I did my first official doula training in 2018 and immediately knew I had found my place. Learning about the birth disparities black women face and personal experience from my own birth made my drive to help women of color come alive. I have a special interest in breastfeeding as well and I hope I can help more women and people have successful breastfeeding journeys. As an aspiring midwife and I know that being a doula will help me in my journey there. I became a birthworker because I want to help other birthing women and peoples experience power in their birth and postpartum time. When I had my daughter I had some of my power taken away from me and I want to help other birthing women and people know their rights so that can never happen. I chose this path because I want to make sure they feel loved, protected, well informed, and heard. I see it as my responsibility to my community to be of service and purposeful in the care I provide.
