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?

Diane was my Doula, and she was simply fab!! I had a very difficult pregnancy with various things, extreme nausea, stressful situations, emotional ups and downs with hormones etc, and Diane was understanding and soothing and helped me to approach my baby’s birth in a calmer way, however it happened. She held my hand and supported me during a very painful external cephalic version, I was screaming but her being there helped so much! And the day after I was a wreck but she made sure to check in and was very caring. I lost my mum a few years ago and although Diane was in a doula role she was also like my family, like a mum, as soon as I met her, she was exactly what I needed and she just seemed to instinctively know what she needed to do to help. Thanks so much Diane! I hope we will always stay in touch! Lots of love, Carrie, Michael and Matt xxxxxx

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Hailey. She was an incredible doula—supportive, knowledgeable, and genuinely thoughtful every step of the way. Hailey took the time to walk us through every possible scenario and made sure we felt prepared and confident. In the hospital, she worked seamlessly alongside our care team and advocated for us with such calm, steady presence. We truly couldn’t have done it without her. We are so grateful for her guidance and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doula.

Hi! I am a Madriella Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula! I have a passion for helping birthing persons have a voice and the labor they want. I also feel so strongly about providing new parents strong postpartum support however they need it.

Marcie was my birth doula and my postpartum doula. She supported me and my husband at the hospital during L&D. Her care for me was so personalized to what I needed. She was very much an asset during a vulnerable time. Since we've been home, she has helped with our toddler, laundry, meals, and emotional support. If a few days go by without us chatting she will reach out to me to make sure I am coping with nursing, and sleep deprivation. Truly a gem to have as a member of your "village."
