Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Richmond, CA

I am a Postpartum Doula. I mostly work 1:1 with clients, but am open to remote work as well. I teach infant massage either in person or remotely. I love helping with siblings and pets and getting partners more involved with helping out. As a new mom, or a mom for the 10th time, those first few months with baby are a time for you to recover and get to know your little one. But it is not something that you need to do alone, I can help you.

I believe that when new parents feel supported, informed, and well-rested, the entire family thrives. I bring a background in community and organizational leadership, having spent years helping families and professionals build systems of care that strengthen both individuals and communities.

Hello! I’m a birth and postpartum doula with several years of experience supporting mothers and newborns. I am CPR certified and provide calm, compassionate, and culturally sensitive care for families during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum recovery. As a Japanese citizen with Chinese heritage, I enjoy working with multicultural families and helping parents feel confident and supported during their birth journey.

I’m the oldest by eight years, and cared for my younger brothers from infancy. It’s where my instinct for this work began. I come from a creative family rooted in art, dance, and self-expression, and spent years as a traveling artist, art teacher, and florist before becoming increasingly holistic in how I live, with a love of herbalism and gardening. After having my own children, I shifted into supporting other families through postpartum, focused on helping parents feel informed, cared for, and grounded. I meet each family where they are, respecting their unique journey and the decisions that are right for them. I’m now a certified postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and birth doula, pursuing my nursing degree to specialize in Mother-Baby care. I’m a mother of three and have lived in San Francisco for 20 years. I’m a proud LGBTQ+ advocate with experience supporting surrogate families, and I bring the same authenticity to every client. CPR/First Aid certified, fully insured.

Hi, I’m Kanisha! 👋🏾 I’m a birth prep and postpartum doula in the Bay Area with a background as a former teacher, Labor & Delivery and Maternity RN. I love breaking down complex information into something that feels approachable. My goal is to help you feel prepared, not overwhelmed, while creating a plan that works for you and your family. With my clinical background, I bring evidence-based education and a strong understanding of birth and postpartum care. Happy to help!

Hi there! I’m Lidiane, and my journey has always been driven by a deep passion for supporting families. For the past 9 years, I have dedicated my life to being a professional nanny, a role that allowed me to witness the beautiful, challenging, and transformative moments of childhood and parenthood up close. This long-standing experience naturally led me to my true calling: becoming a Doula. My philosophy is rooted in providing compassionate, evidence-based support that honors your unique birth and postpartum preferences. I believe that every parent deserves to feel empowered, heard, and cared for during this sacred transition. Having worked with families from diverse backgrounds, I bring a calm, organized, and multilingual approach (English, Portuguese, and Spanish) to ensure you feel fully supported every step of the way. I’m not just here to provide a service; I’m here to be a steady hand and a warm heart for your growing family.

Hi, I’m Sheila. I’m a faith based birth & postpartum doula, photographer, and most importantly, a mom who knows how deeply personal this season of life can be. Becoming a mother myself changed the way I see birth. I remember the emotions, the questions, the vulnerability, and the overwhelming feeling of wanting someone beside you who simply gets it. That experience is what led me to doula work — because I wanted to become the person I wish every mother could have in her corner: someone who listens without judgment, stays calm when things feel overwhelming, helps you understand your options, and reminds you of your strength when you need it most. With over six years of experience working with children and families, professional doula training, continued mentorship, and my own experience as a mom, I bring both knowledge and genuine heart into the room. I’m not there to take over your birth or tell you how it should go — I’m there to learn you, support your wishes, help you feel prepared, and be the steady presence you can lean on. And because I’m also a photographer, I have a special love for capturing the little moments you may not even realize are happening — the first touch, the tears, the tiny details, and the way your family changes in an instant. My packages can also include birth photography, postpartum meal prep, and a postpartum visit, so my support doesn’t simply end when your baby arrives. I want you to feel like you found your person someone you can text, laugh with, cry with, ask the “is this normal?” questions, and feel completely comfortable being yourself around. If you’re looking for someone who will care for you like a person, not just a client, I’d love to meet you. 🤍

Hello! My name is Briahna and I am a full spectrum doula and lactation counselor. As a mother of 3, I have experienced all the joys of motherhood and the challenges that come with it. After birthing my son in 2016, I knew I wanted to support other birthing people. I believe child birth to be a transformative and rewarding experience while understanding how difficult it can be. My hope as a doula is that I can help other mamas navigate the complexities of child birth and mothering through education, holistic practices and tradition.

Hey, I’m Sarah! A boy mom, birth doula, birth photographer, and student midwife. Birth is much more than a physical event, it is also an emotional, mental, spiritual and communal experience. I believe completely surrendering to birth is a positive choice to embrace the unknown, trust your body and to follow your deepest instincts as a mother. My passion is to help you achieve the birth of your dreams by feeling strong, supported, and in control. I feel at home in this work and I can’t wait to be a part of your unique journey and to empower, inform, and support you through it all.

Birth is unpredictable. Being prepared doesn't have to be. Do you ever wonder... - How do I prepare for labor and birth? - Will I know when it's really time to go to the hospital? - What happens if my birth doesn't go according to plan? - How can I avoid feeling overwhelmed during labor? - Will my partner know how to support me? - What if I need an induction, epidural, or even an unexpected C-section? - How do I make confident decisions in the moment? I support all births - normal to high-risk pregnancies - through personalized prenatal coaching. When we work together, I'll help you prepare for your actual birth. You'll understand what to expect from the first signs of labor through the Golden Hour, learn how to navigate unexpected situations, communicate confidently with your healthcare team, and approach birth feeling informed, empowered, and ready. In the hospital, I'll guide you to have a faster labor through meaningful position changes and breathwork. I proudly serve families covered by Kaiser Permanente, giving birth at Oakland, Walnut Creek, Antioch, and Vallejo. I also support all Medi-Cal patients, regardless of health plan. If you're delivering in Contra Costa County or at a designated Kaiser hospital, I'll join you in person for your hospital birth. Families outside the area can receive the same comprehensive birth preparation through convenient telehealth appointments. I'm a Public Health Doctor focused on maternal health and a Certified Birth Doula by DONA International. I trained at UC Davis Medical Center as a birth doula for high-risk births, where I still volunteer today and train new doula cohorts. For patient safety, I am background checked and maintain medical clearance. Ready to secure a doula? Schedule your initial telehealth prenatal visit with me at www.yesidoula.com. If you're still deciding on a doula, have questions about insurance, or simply nervous, book a complimentary telehealth instead and let's talk about your goals. Looking forward to meeting you! - Dr. Rae
