Hi, I’m Tanya. I offer holistic pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum doula support rooted in the belief that the entrance to motherhood is a sacred and rite of passage. Before becoming a mother, I immersed myself in learning about birth- to avoid unnecessary medicalization and coercion, and to truly understand the magic and wisdom of my own body. I quickly realized how much we’ve been taught to distrust our physiology, and how empowering it felt to relearn what is innate and ancient within us. My first birth, at home, was transformative. It opened my eyes to the power of personalized care and pushed me to dive fully into birthwork, so I could serve other women and families seeking a similar path. My second birth was a powerful freebirth at home, surrounded by my closest friends and family. It took me even deeper- into surrender, into trust, into the raw connection between body, spirit, and baby. Now, as a mother of two, I’m here to offer grounded, compassionate support for your unique path- trusting your rhythms, honoring your choices, and reminding you that you were made for this.

After retiring from a long career of working with children and families, I became a professional doula. I wanted to support and nurture birthing persons during this sacred time of their lives. I wanted to offer sacred holistic services to them, youth, and communities by partnering with them as they learn more about holistic reproductive wellness. I also wanted to educate them about the importance of preventive reproductive health care, maternal health justice, trauma-informed quality childcare, equity and advocacy, childbirth education and basic lactation support through coaching, training, and mentoring not only birthing persons but the community and new doulas. So, I immersed and dedicated myself to learning all that I could about how to support in this way. ​ I am the mother of two amazing adult sons and oftentimes reflect on my birthing experiences. They were both very different births but what helped me survive was the birthing team I chose and the village around me when I returned home and encourage those, I serve to embrace their community and build their village. ​ I am also a Childbirth Educator, an author, singer/songwriter, a Master of Ceremony and a speaker. I am a birth justice advocate that believes birth work is justice work and there is no way to separate one from the other!

Hey there, my name is Caroline Patterson and I'm a Certified Birth Doula under DONA. I've been a Doula since 2018 and absolutely love what I do!

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?

Hello - I Will be updating once I have completed the DONA certification class!

I’m Katie Galvin, Postpartum Doula and Certified Functional Diagnostic Nutritional Practitioner. After my own experience with “postpartum anxiety & depression,” (which was really undiagnosed postpartum thyroiditis) I decided to become a functional practitioner to help other moms navigate common postpartum hormonal changes using a holistic approach. Conventional medicine often fails new moms by dismissing their concerns or offering pills as the only solutions to common (but not normal) symptoms like: anxiety, depression, irregular/heavy/painful periods, insomnia, hot flashes, etc. There are better options! I use functional lab testing to identify imbalances in the body and help bring it back into balance through functional nutrition and lifestyle changes so moms can get back to feeling their best!
