Hello, I'm Maira! I have been working with children for over six years. My passion of taking care of kids began when I decided to be a volunteer in a daycare working with newborns. This experience prompted me to become a certified Birth and Postpartum Doula. I enjoy helping and support families in their new parenting journey. My ultimate goal is allow parents to rest during this period while giving them a sense of security that their precious newborn is in good hands. I am proud to provide a safe, informative and loving environment.

Hello Families! My name is Keyz The Wellness Doula. I am the owner and operator of The Indi Women's Club, a women's health practice focusing on health equity and combating maternal health disparities. In addition to being a certified birth and postpartum doula, I am a registered nurse, childbirth educator and breastfeeding educator. It is my strong belief that education and preparation can reduce fear surrounding birth and make for a positive birth experience. My birth philosophy: birth is a natural physiologic process that should be witnessed and supported rather than governed or controlled. Anyone involved in this journey should always aim to keep the woman/birthing person's bodily autonomy intact. I will always hold space for clients to find the fullness of their power, to learn to trust and connect with their bodies, and to give birth in a way that makes them feel seen, heard, safe, and respected.

Greetings all, I am Aldeisha Smith, a Birth and Postpartum Doula residing in Northern California. The many layers of conceiving, pregnancy, and birth are astounding and ever evolving. As a proprietor of knowledge, I always find myself looking for new things to learn to teach. With a solid background in Biology and Biological Research, I know that birth has many unanswered questions and uniqueness; all starting with a thought. I am here to assist families with finding the answers to their questions with peace and love at the center. Providing an environment to spark interest in researching and affirming oneself for the best outcomes. My practice creates an engaging atmosphere for the whole family to seek informational and emotional support. In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading books, writing poetry, vending at the local farmers markets and spending time with my family.

✨ Hi friends! I’m Jess (she/her) — a queer birth & postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I grew up around birth and babies (shoutout to my nurse mom!) and fell in love with supporting new parents early on. After seeing so many of my friends navigate birth and postpartum without the support they deserved and needed, I knew this was the work I was meant to do. I offer care that’s supportive, inclusive, and centered on you—your values, your vision, and your unique journey into parenthood. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just dreaming about building your family someday, I’d love to support you. 💛

Hello my name is Samantha and I am a queer doula looking to support queer and BIPOC families in the Sacramento area. I’ve been a nanny for over a decade and decided to make the switch to birth work at the beginning of 2024. I started my training in March and have been working solely in postpartum but plan to also offer fertility and birth support in the near future. Looking forward to connecting and bringing you support!

Samantha provided exceptional postpartum care for our family! As first-time parents, we greatly valued her knowledgable support with bathing, feeding, and all aspects of newborn care. Her calming presence instilled confidence in both her and ourselves.

My passion for caregiving and holistic well-being runs deep within my soul. From a young age, I have always been drawn to helping others and making a positive impact on their lives. This drive led me to pursue this career, where I have found my true calling in aiding families during their most vulnerable moments. I approach caregiving with a holistic mindset, recognizing the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By integrating traditional practices with alternative therapies, I strive to provide comprehensive and personalized care that addresses all aspects of one's health. My work is not just a job, but a calling that fills my heart with purpose and fulfillment. Building meaningful relationships with parents and their families, offering comfort and support during times of uncertainty and distress, brings me immeasurable joy and satisfaction.

I’m Katie Galvin, Postpartum Doula and Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner. After my own experience with “postpartum anxiety & depression,” (which was really undiagnosed postpartum thyroiditis) I decided to become a functional practitioner to help other moms navigate common postpartum hormonal changes using a holistic approach. Conventional medicine often fails new moms by dismissing their concerns or offering pills as the only solutions to common (but not normal) symptoms like: anxiety, depression, irregular/heavy/painful periods, insomnia, hot flashes, etc. There are better options! I use functional lab testing to identify imbalances in the body and help bring it back into balance through functional nutrition and lifestyle changes so moms can get back to feeling their best!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!

Hi, I’m Lianne—some like to call me Li. I’m a 34-year-old woman deeply committed to supporting parents and individuals through big life transitions, especially the beautiful, complex journey into parenthood. I understand how vulnerable and transformative this time can be. My goal is to walk alongside you with care and steady support—nurturing not just your baby, but you, and your whole family, as you adjust and grow. In addition to my work with families, I run an organic skincare company that connects me to the natural world through ingredients like shea butter, calendula, castor oil, etc. I bring that same care into your postpartum experience—whether it’s preparing nourishing meals, offering soothing massages and herbal baths, steeping teas, or blending hydrating tonics. Everything I do is designed to support your body, mind, and nervous system. I’m certified in infant CPR and life coaching, and I'm very open to learning if there is something you wish for me to delve into during our journey together! I bring compassion, experience, and a calm presence to every family I work with. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Lianne has been helping me since my youngest was a few months old and I went back to work. She has been a godsend for us, essentially “being me” while I was home so I could focus on the baby, nursing, and soaking up that precious time. She prepared insanely delicious meals that were nurturing (even my 5 year old enjoyed them!) kept things tidy and helped me make all of my apts on time and without stress. Now that my baby is a little older she still offers to lend a helping hand and has forged a beautiful relationship with both my children. She really fit into the family seamlessly. She knows what needs to be done, helps intuitively without being asked, and is always thinking of how to support and nurture those in her care. She’s one in a million and I can’t speak more highly of her

I believe all people deserve to be heard during pregnancy, in the delivery room and after birth. You're pregnancy and subsequent birth of your child/children is the most important task at the present time. My goal is to help new and experienced parents ease into their new lives. I want you to feel confident and secure in the task ahead.

Hello! I’m Kerynn, and I’m a Certified Birth and Postpartum doula serving the greater Sacramento area. I became a doula in 2019 after the birth of my son, and soon I realized how passionate I am about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenthood. Often we have a lack of community, and the village everyone talks about doesn’t exist for many. Doulas help, and I’m honored to support new families during such an important time.
