Bereavement Doulas in Sacramento, CA

Hi! My name is Ariana Cruz. My journey into being a holistic doula comes from sheer awe for the strength of women in the beautiful process of birth. The intimate care from my own homebirth midwives in the pregnancy and birth of my daughter, combined with my love for all things natural and health related, led me here. This isn't just about guiding you through birth – it's a journey we're embarking on together. I'm not just a doula; I'm your partner on this path. Let's connect, share, and navigate this incredibly personal and spiritual experience side by side.

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

Hi, I’m Alyssa! I’m a BADT Certified Full Spectrum Doula providing compassionate birth and postpartum support. My goal is to help you feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey. I believe this is your body, your baby, and your experience. I’m here to support your choices, help you understand your options, advocate for your voice, and create a safe, nonjudgmental space for you and your family. I welcome private-pay clients and also work with Blooming Families Doula Services, where eligible families may be able to use insurance. If you choose the insurance route, you’ll complete an intake with Blooming Families and can request me as your doula—or choose another doula if they feel like a better fit. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable, supported, and confident knowing you have someone who truly cares in your corner.

Hi everyone, I’m Brittany Maalona, owner and doula with Stork & Sprout, a team-based doula practice serving families throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. While you’ll see my name and photo here, Stork & Sprout is very much a team. Our doulas bring a range of experience, backgrounds, personalities, and specialties to our work, and we support one another so families have a broader circle of care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We provide birth and postpartum doula support, along with lactation support, bodywork, placenta encapsulation, education, TENS rentals, and other resources for growing families. Our team supports families throughout San Francisco, the Peninsula, East Bay, and North Bay. One of the things I care most about is making doula support feel accessible, dependable, and genuinely relational. We believe families deserve information without judgment, support that respects their choices, and a team they can feel comfortable reaching out to. If you’re looking for support, please feel free to reach out. I’m happy to learn more about what your family is looking for and help connect you with the doula or support option within our team that may be a good fit.

Greetings! I'm Catherine, a dedicated Lactation Consultant, Birthing, and Postpartum Doula based in the serene surroundings of Nevada City, CA. My journey began in outdoor education, specializing in working with children and emphasizing positive psychology. Venturing into the birthing realm ignited my passion, driven by the uniqueness of every birth and family I encounter. In my practice, I prioritize empowering you and your partner through informed discussions to shape and advocate for your personalized goals. I foster a judgment-free, supportive environment throughout the delivery, providing unwavering assistance at every phase. During the crucial weeks and months of postpartum recovery, my aim is multifaceted. From aiding with breastfeeding to organizing and tidying your home, caring for other children in the household, supporting meal preparation, and facilitating your rest and self-care, I'm dedicated to your holistic well-being. Understanding that support manifests differently for each individual, I'm committed to tailoring a bespoke plan that resonates with your unique requirements. My goal is to ensure you feel comprehensively supported on your journey. I'm eagerly anticipating our meeting and the opportunity to forge a meaningful connection with you. Wishing you all the best, and sending abundant love your way! Warmly, Catherine :)

Hi, I'm Kirstie — a certified birth and postpartum doula and peer lactation counselor serving expecting and new families in the San Francisco Bay Area. I received my training through the Indie Birth Doula Academy and the H.E.R.B.A.L Academy and I bring that foundation into every client relationship with compassion, intention, and care. I believe that welcoming a new baby is one of life's most profound transitions — and no one should have to navigate it alone. Whether you're preparing for birth, settling into postpartum life, or finding your way through breastfeeding, I'm here to walk alongside you with steady, personalized support. I accept insurance through Kaiser Permanente NorCal, Health Net, and Alameda Health Alliance because your care shouldn't depend on your coverage. Flexible payment plans are also available for families without insurance coverage.
