Hello! My name is Brianna and I have my Master's Degree in Child Development with an emphasis in infancy! I have a full time job as a case manager working with children with special needs but I am looking for some extra work on the side. I have around 15 years of child care experience and thought that I may be a perfect fit for your family! I have several years of experience with newborns and infants, both in child care centers and in the home. In the past, I have worked with a family of four children, ranging in ages from newborn to 8 years old. Tasks with this family often included baths, driving the kids around, drop offs at friends houses, making meals, trips to the park, putting them to sleep, and caring for the baby. Let me know if you have any more questions for me and I hope to hear from you soon!

Hi! I’m a mom of two boys, a wife, and a professionally trained postpartum doula living in beautiful Marin County, California. My passion for helping mothers during the postpartum period sprang from my own postpartum experience with my first child. I focused so much attention and preparation on my pregnancy and birth that when it came time to take care of my new baby, I was completely overwhelmed. I felt alone, isolated and in over my head. Had I had a compassionate and skilled postpartum doula come into my home to help me process my birth story, help me feed my baby, and allow me to rest and recover properly, my postpartum period would have been so much easier— perhaps even enjoyable! The first six weeks after giving birth is a vulnerable time for new mothers. They need just as much love, attention and support as their new babies— which isn’t a concept that is widely embraced in our society. That is where I can step in and bridge the gap of care for moms and families. I provide a listening ear without judgement, a second set of hands, and evidence-based resources and referrals so families can thrive in the fourth trimester.

Originally from Liverpool, England and now living in Marin County, California, I am the mum of 6 beautiful children and a grandma to one. Each and every birth was unique, whether it was at home, a birthing centre, or in a hospital. The level of prenatal and postpartum care I received, definitely impacted my birth experience and I really feel every mum should feel safe and in control of her choices, as much as she can when she is going through one of the most unique and special moments in their life. I love supporting other parents on their journey, whether it be for advice, support or just to chat about what's to come. Feeling prepared makes for a much easier birth journey :) I trained with Doula Trainings international as a birth and postpartum doula. I have been a volunteer with the Postpartum Support Center through the Marin Diaper Bank and now as a facilitator for the ROSE program. When not supporting families you will find me looking after my granddaughter, walking my dog, hiking, or enjoying friend and family time.

Kirstie was so amazing in guiding me through my birth. She taught me about having a birth plan and having it written it out so that doctors would follow my wishes. A birth plan was something I hadn’t even thought of but Kirstie was instrumental in helping me think ahead and giving me the best chance of having a safe birth for me and baby. She was also great in my postpartum. She checked in often and helped me breastfeeding. Teaching me massage that help milk production and foods I can eat also to help my milk supply. She thinks about all your needs before you even realize you need it. She’s a warm, calming presence to have at your most vulnerable time. There’s no other person I would recommend when looking for help in your birth and postpartum journey. Kirstie is simply the best!

My journey as a doula began after years working as a nurse and witnessing how powerful support can be during birth. Becoming a doula allowed me to bring my passion for nursing back to life here in the U.S., after years of working as a nanny, and to continue caring for families in such a meaningful way.

Hi, I’m Agustina — a mother, nurse, and doula with a deep love for walking alongside families in their birthing journeys. I come from another country and now feel grateful to serve my new community, offering support in both English and Spanish so more families can feel seen and cared for. My own path began with the birth of my daughter, an experience that opened my heart and inspired me to dedicate my life to this work. Birth showed me the strength, vulnerability, and beauty of bringing life into the world — and I knew I wanted to hold space for others in that sacred moment. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll often find me at the farmers market with my daughter, listening to holistic health podcasts, or walking along the beach. These simple joys keep me grounded and connected, just as I strive to help the families I serve feel rooted and cared for. With years of nursing experience and as a student midwife, I bring both knowledge and a gentle presence. My care is rooted in listening, nurturing, and honoring the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. As your doula, my promise is to center you. I’ll walk beside you with compassion, respect, and love, so you feel supported, empowered, and held every step of the way.
