As a postpartum doula with over 6 years of experience in infant care, I provide exceptional care to new parents and their infants. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of having a supportive and compassionate postpartum doula during this special moment in a family's life. I am patient, empathetic, and respectful of different parenting styles. I am also reliable, punctual, and able to work independently or as part of the household.

My journey in birth work started at age 12, when I had the unique experience of catching my little sister. At age 22, I started my work as a volunteer doula in Vermont, serving members in the community who lacked support. My early volunteer work gave me a deep understanding of how hospitals function, and how to work with medical staff towards the best possible outcomes for parent and child. In 2023, I was trained and certified through DONA, with mentorship by Penny Bussell Stansfield and Dr. Teri Nava-Anderson. Having been through two training programs has given me a diverse range of strategies to draw upon in our prenatal planning sessions and during your labor and birth! I have been honored to participate in many birth stories, each with unique circumstances and goals. I have experience supporting medicated and unmedicated vaginal births, scheduled and emergent Cesarean births with first, second, and fourth-time parents, queer parents, low-income parents, autistic parents, non-native English-speaking parents, sexual assault survivors, people with depression, and parents of color. I am a member of the queer community and this has strengthened my belief that all bodies deserve respectful, compassionate, and culturally humble care.

Hello world! I love to help.

Hello! My name is Dainara Santos Lima, and I am a certified doula passionate about supporting families during the postpartum period. I believe every family deserves compassionate, respectful, and personalized care during this transformative time. My approach is centered on emotional support, evidence-based information, and creating a calm, safe environment where parents feel confident and empowered. I value active listening, gentle guidance, and honoring each family’s unique needs, choices, and cultural background. It would be an honor to support you on this beautiful journey into parenthood.

My name is Madeline Collins and I have been a doula for four years. In addition I also have two boys which has given me invaluable experience with newborns. I love to work with families to aid with their new addition to their families. I am certified doula, CPR certified and have passed a state and federal background check.

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.

Hi my name is Zareen I am a postpartum doula in the Bay Area :)

I am a certified birth and postpartum doula, childhood education student, a mama of two daughters, and a wife. Drawing on both my personal journey and professional experiences, I bring a deep understanding of parenthood and a heartfelt passion for supporting families through every stage. I am conversational in Spanish and adaptable to all cultures and traditions. I offer care that is inclusive, respectful, and compassionate. I believe birth is sacred and that the birthing person deserves just as much care and celebration as the baby. I take a holistic approach that nurtures the whole family- providing breastfeeding support, newborn care education, and gentle massage for both baby and birthing person. Families describe me as warm, attentive, and empowering, someone who ensures that feel truly seen, celebrated, and supported during one of life's most transformative moments.

As a night postpartum doula, my approach centers on responsive care and fostering secure attachments. With over 8 years of professional childcare experience, I bring a unique blend of warmth, expertise, and a deep understanding of family dynamics to every home I support. My journey began in a bustling diverse household (Filipina immigrant mama & American dad with Chinese, European, and Spanish roots) as the third eldest of eight, where I naturally became my mother’s helper. This early immersion in childcare instilled in me a profound comfort around infants and children. Today, I draw on this foundation to provide families with compassionate, responsive care that prioritizes the emotional and physical well-being of both parents and babies. I believe that by responding promptly and sensitively to a baby's needs, we lay the groundwork for secure attachments, fostering a nurturing environment where both babies and parents can thrive.

✨ 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. 💛

I’m a certified doula specializing in postpartum care, a lactation counselor, and a pre/postnatal yoga teacher. My heart lies in blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to help families navigate the fourth trimester and help mothers fully heal from birth, step into their new identity of mother with confidence, and show up for their growing family from a centered place. I believe that when we care deeply for postpartum families, we cultivate communities that are honest, gentle, radical, and resilient. These are the communities that change the world.

Hello I’m Sharonda Oldham and I am a certified postpartum doula in the San Francisco California area and I’m also trust-line certified as well. I have over 15 years of experience and a love for families that are entering into a whole new world with a newborn.

Hello and Welcome! My name is Doula Talia, providing birth and postpartum services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I transitioned away from a delightful 20+ year profession in healthcare management and chose to train as a doula, a career where I can nurture my path of service to others. I believe how we give and show up in the world is how we receive. My natural desire to build community and connect with others brings me here today. Part of my role as a doula is empowering families by listening to their birth goals and holding space for them to make informed decisions. My goal is that the birthing person and team feel confident and grounded. Everyone has an inner self-power that can ignite in all situations! I am the friend one calls when they need a calm, centering voice of reassurance. My greatest joy is that I am a mother to my favorite human beings. My experience of motherhood and being an aunt of 10 adds another essential layer of depth to my work as a birth and postpartum care doula. Please contact me directly at “doulatalia.sf@gmail.com” Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

I used to be a nurse in Brazil for 16 years. I would like to proceed in this area because I have always enjoyed working with prenatal and natal stages, including babies aged 0-6 months in the hospital. I decided to concentrate more on being a doula since it encompasses more of what I love to do. I have worked as a combination of an at-home nurse and post-birth baby care for mothers fresh out of the hospital. But since moving here instead of being a nurse again, I have decided to be a certified doula.
