I have over seven years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and helping new parents feel confident and supported as they adjust to life with a baby.

My journey started when I finished my studies in early childhood education in Brazil and worked with children of all ages including children with emotional and behavioral disorders. One day I had a opportunity to help my friend on her postpartum and I felt so helpful and happy to give her the love and support she needed. After that I immersed myself in the world of motherhood, I felt so passionate and became a postpartum doula. I also had the amazing experience when I had my own sunshine boy, and being a mother is so unique and wonderful but also very challenging. Today I am so accomplished to do my job as a postpartum doula! I know the importance of having a Doula to help, and support a mother and family in their pre-birth, delivery and also in the difficulties encountered in the postpartum journey.

I became a birth and postpartum doula after completing my training through Birthing Project USA in 2020. I began my doula business to address and help circumvent the racial disparities African American women and other women of color face in the medical industry. I loves educating all mothers to inspire positive prenatal experiences and to better equip them for labor, delivery and postpartum. It brings me joy to support moms during such a special and intimate time. I love encouraging them as they learn and grow more confident on their journey to childbirth.

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.

After retiring from a long career of working with children and families, I became a professional doula. I wanted to support and nurture birthing persons during this sacred time of their lives. I wanted to offer sacred holistic services to them, youth, and communities by partnering with them as they learn more about holistic reproductive wellness. I also wanted to educate them about the importance of preventive reproductive health care, maternal health justice, trauma-informed quality childcare, equity and advocacy, childbirth education and basic lactation support through coaching, training, and mentoring not only birthing persons but the community and new doulas. So, I immersed and dedicated myself to learning all that I could about how to support in this way. ​ I am the mother of two amazing adult sons and oftentimes reflect on my birthing experiences. They were both very different births but what helped me survive was the birthing team I chose and the village around me when I returned home and encourage those, I serve to embrace their community and build their village. ​ I am also a Childbirth Educator, an author, singer/songwriter, a Master of Ceremony and a speaker. I am a birth justice advocate that believes birth work is justice work and there is no way to separate one from the other!

Recent review

Having Katherine’s support during the first six weeks with my premature baby was truly invaluable. My little one struggled with reflux, and Katherine’s patience and expertise made a huge difference. She took great care in holding my baby upright for 30 minutes after each feeding, which helped tremendously. Her knowledge, gentle approach, and reliability provided a great sense of reassurance. I’m incredibly grateful for her help and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family in need of newborn care.

As a doula and childbirth educator with over 20 years of experience, I have come to learn that compassionate support is the most important thing I bring to birth. Close to 1000 births matters. Having taught 1000s of couples in childbirth classes matters. But mostly what matters is that the person giving birth feels respected, listened to and supported by someone who is thinking about all possible options for you in an objective way. I believe in freedom of choice based on knowledge of the alternatives. I aim to increase confidence and decrease fear. And in the end, I want you to feel like you have had a compassionate, knowledgeable companion dedicated to helping you navigate this this major life transition that we call birth.

Maternal Wellness has been a Doula and Breastfeeding Support Organization since 2015. Maternal Wellness was one of the first Doula Organizations statewide back when Doula services were hardly recognized and were not covered or supported by Insurance companies or medical providers. When Doula Support was overlooked; Maternal Wellness continued supporting families and continued its advocacy on the importance of families needing support throughout Pregnancy and Postpartum. Maternal Wellness is an organization tailored to maternal-infant support giving you high quality and valuable services. We have experienced professional Doula’s and Breastfeeding experts who provide continuous physical, educational, emotional and informational support to families before, during and after childbirth to help them achieve the most satisfying experience possible.

I had a Doula and Lactation Consultant at Maternal Wellness and I had such an amazing birth experience in 2024 the information was clear, I could communicate easily with my doula by text, call and through a online system that they used. It was great! I had a good birth and got great tips and support for my first pregnancy. If you want a doula or need breastfeeding help I think you would love it!

Hi, I'm a certified postpartum night dolus since 2021. I'm a mother of a set of twins, one girl & boy. While caring for my two infants I gained so much experience. From colic, preemie stage and the dreadful silent reflux as well as toggling tandem feeding and all fun stuff, I found my passion for the infant stage. Since then, I've been working with families guiding them through the most precious few months home with their growing family and looking to help more Parents in the Northern California area. I specialize in overnight care so new parents can rest, allowing them to be more present during the day. Resting, recovering and waking up knowing your baby was in experienced, nurturing hands. Teaching new parents all the tips and secret tricks to set your newborn up for a solid nighttime routine. I enjoy helping families establish a soiled night schedule, making the days enjoyable and memorable.

Hello, I'm Skye Hackney with September Skye Doula Services, serving Calaveras, Amador and Tuolomne counties. I believe that child birth doesn't have to be scary. I understand that childbirth sometimes doesn't go as planned and planning for the unexpected can be scary. So how do you plan for the unexpected? With the help of a knowledgeable birth coach. I believe everyone deserves to be supported, encouraged and empowered during pregnancy, birth and beyond! My objective as a doula is to provide compassionate guidance and support, both physical and emotional, to birthing people and their families throughout the entire birthing process. I aim to uphold your choices and provide reliable resources, and information. Through the preservation of bodily autonomy, and access to information, resources and support even when birth doesn't go as planned, it doesn't have to be traumatic. I know that you are the expert on your family and my job is to serve you in whatever way works the best for you. How can I help you have a peaceful birth?
