About me

Hi families! My name is Rhaquel, and I’m a Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist based in Dublin, CA. I bring over six years of experience supporting newborns and young children through nanny work, overnight infant care, and postpartum doula services. My approach is warm, calming, and grounded in evidence-based care. I support parents in understanding their baby’s cues, building healthy routines, improving feeding confidence (breast, bottle, or pumping), and creating a peaceful and safe environment for recovery and bonding. I believe every family deserves to feel supported, rested, and empowered. My goal is to make your postpartum experience gentler, easier, and filled with confidence.
