My name is Anietie Ukpe-Wallace and I am a Bay Area, CA based pelvic health physical therapist. I treat a myriad of pelvic health conditions as well as work on providing education to patients on their pelvic health. I truly believe that when one has a better understanding in the functioning and inner working of their pelvis, they will then be able to respond and be proactive when symptoms arise around their pelvic health.

Hey there! I'm Jay, a passionate postpartum doula specializing in all things foodie goodness, self-care, and tackling the maternal health crisis head-on. With 8 years of invaluable newborn experience under my belt, I transitioned into becoming a dedicated postpartum doula 4 years ago. My mission? To ensure that all the mamas and families I support know they are my #1 priority, and that I've always got their back. Beyond doula care, I love whipping up delicious meals, crafting nourishing face masks, offering soothing yoni steams to my clients, and so many more self care hacks to keep a piece of you during this transition. Let's navigate this transformative journey together!

Jala did an exceptional job at emotionally supporting me as a first time mom. She did an amazing job at caring for my newborn while I got rest. She was great when it came to helping me prepare before, during and after labor. She is such a kind soul and so gentle. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else helping me in my journey. My house was always so clean when Jala was helping out too! I loved it. She also always light a nice candle or burned sage (which was one of my requests) in the house. She is definitely apart of the family!

Greetings! My name is JJ (she/her) and I am a Full Spectrum Doula. I completed my Full Spectrum Doula training with Reclaim Our Birth Power Academy, which is an Afro-Indigenous Traditional Full Spectrum Birthworker school. The training I received there helped me to realize that my main role as a doula is to give you the information, support and care that you need to step into your power so that you can make decisions about your care based on your needs, wants and desires.

Breanna Gay was an amazing postpartum doula for our newborn baby boy Dekari from June 2023 to August 2023. She was incredibly knowledgeable and helped us through our first couple of months at home. Any questions we had, she was able to answer. As nervous first-time parents, we had so many questions, but she made us feel much more comfortable knowing that she was super experienced, and it showed! From the beginning, she was there to support us, even before our baby was born. We were able to text her all of our questions, and she replied quickly. She came in and helped us organize our nursery and set up all our gadgets. When our baby came home, she was there the first night, supporting us through breastfeeding and our long nights. She even helped tidy up the house and made me a little midnight snack because Iwas up all night. Breanna is such a joy to have, and I would recommend her to any family looking for support.

I’ve been a doula since 2020 and truly believe that postpartum support is essential to the physical and emotional well-being of the newly expanded family. I’m a mom and midwifery student, so I have a unique set of skills when it comes to providing postpartum care. Whether it’s cooking, caring for your newborn, or cleaning — I am happy to be an extra set of hands for families who are in the tender phase of welcoming a brand new tiny human into their world.

My family was fortunate to have Alia as a student midwife and postpartum doula before, during, and after the birth of my second baby. In the prenatal appointments, Alia’s warm presence brought me joy and put me at ease. She is fun, yet gentle. She was eager to learn from our midwives and brought her own unique perspective from her experience. In a period of overwhelm, she offered to babysit our oldest to help provide moments of rest during the last months of my pregnancy. She went above and beyond. During the birth of my daughter, one of my midwives had Covid, and Alia rose to the occasion and was the midwife I needed during a home birth that was tiresome with 3 hours of pushing. Her calm confidence and warm nature helped carry me through the times that I felt like I couldn’t go on. As a postpartum doula, there was nothing that Alia wouldn’t do to help out. She is a baby whisperer and taught me many things for how to take care of our youngest. The greatest gift I got from working with Alia was developing a true and lasting friendship. She’s a special soul, and your life will be better just by knowing her.

Hello! I’m excited to connect with families here and offer my doula services to those who may need extra support during the beautiful (and sometimes overwhelming) postpartum period.

I am a doula that offer care, gentle baby massage, and soothing oil massages for moms to help with recovery and self-care after birth. I also offer meal prep for the first week to lighten the load and give you more time to rest and bond with your baby. My goal is to bring calm, comfort, and practical help to your home, making those early days as smooth and nurturing as possible. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to support you and your growing family!

Greetings & congratulations on your growing family <3 I have been a birth worker for the past ten years and have served families in a variety of locations, from a free standing birth center on the Arizona/Sonora border as an apprentice midwife, to home & hospital births all around the bay area. I approach this work from a place of trusting the mother/birthing person as an expert in their needs and experience and believing that given the right tools and support a family can advocate for the birth experience they want in any location. My approach is to prepare for labor with education in the prenatal period and work my clients to plan adequately for a postpartum that will nourish integration of this new phase of life. I also bring my background in holistic health and often refer clients to work with herbs, exercise and nutritional protocol to facilitate the experience they desire.

Ruta is an amazing doula to say the least. She services her community as if her very existence is because of doula work. She is passionate about what her client needs, wants, and desires; to create an outcome that supports healthy baby and birthing person. Her attention to detail is always felt with love and thoughtfulness. Having Ruta as your doula would be one of the greatest decisions you can make for your birthing moment.

My partner and I decided to hire a doula because we really wanted that emotional and physical support. That being our first pregnancy, we had many questions and concerns. So after extensive research we came across Sloan, she was so professional. The amount of information she provided at our first meeting set her apart and became the deciding factor to hiring her. She just made us feel so comfortable. She was with us at the time of labor and leading up to it, explaining how the birth would go and what to expect. Unfortunately, I had some complications; Sloan was there guiding us, holding my hand and offering suggestions. It's what kept us so calm and pushing forward. She was so encouraging and gentle. Just a wonderful soul! She even assisted with getting my son to latch on for a feeding when the nurse was busy. I am currently pregnant and did not hesitate to rehire Sloan. I know with her methods and expertise that I'm in good hands. Going into an unknown situation, she just made the entire experience so positive. Would definitely recommend Sloan for before, during and after labor!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!

I am becoming a postpartum doula because I want to nurture and support families during such a tender and life-changing time. I believe parents deserve just as much care as their newborns, and my goal is to provide comfort, reassurance, and a helping hand as they heal and adjust. I especially want to be there for first-time parents and families without strong support systems, offering not only guidance but also a calm presence they can lean on. In the next five years, I see myself fully certified and running my own practice, creating a safe and welcoming space for families to feel cared for and understood. Beyond birth work, I enjoy cooking and reading, both of which inspire me to bring warmth, creativity, and patience into my life and the way I support others. Becoming a doula feels like a natural extension of who I am someone who values community, healing, and the simple comforts that help people feel at home.

I highly recommend Dr. Vickie Chang! She is an exceptional psychologist specializing in cultural identity development, particularly for BIPOC individuals. As part of her interest in social justice, she is also particularly skilled in guiding people who experience distress related to climate change by assisting them in aligning their values with actions. In her practice, she creates a supportive environment where individuals can explore their authentic selves while contributing to broader community well-being.
