I am a full-spectrum doula trained by Doula Trainings International (DTI) and hold a Bachelor's degree from San Jose State University. After experiencing the challenges new parents face firsthand with the arrival of my own two children, I dedicated myself to improving support for families during this transformative time. I firmly believe in the power of community, as captured by the phrase “it takes a village.” I am committed to being that supportive presence for your family, guiding you through every aspect of the birth, labor, and postpartum experience.

Sarah was an unwavering source of support during one of the most physically and emotionally challenging experiences of my life. After choosing to have an at-home abortion, I found myself in the hospital due to unmanageable pain and later faced complications and prolonged bleeding for over two months. Through it all, Sarah was there—offering not just physical comfort, but deep emotional and mental support. She provided reassurance when I felt scared, advocated for me when I felt unheard, and helped me navigate the overwhelming aftermath with patience and compassion. Her presence was a lifeline, creating a safe space where I could process my emotions without judgment. Whether it was through gentle encouragement, grounding techniques, or simply holding space for my emotions, Sarah made sure I never felt alone in my healing process. I am beyond grateful for her kindness, knowledge, and unwavering care during such a difficult time.

As a postpartum doula, I am dedicated to supporting families through the critical transition that follows birth. I view the postpartum period as a time that deserves intentional care, where both parent and child benefit from consistent guidance, reassurance, and practical assistance. My role is to provide evidence based support in areas such as infant feeding, soothing strategies, rest, and family adjustment, while also ensuring that parents feel heard, respected, and empowered in their choices. With a background in early childhood education, I bring a solid understanding of child development alongside a deep commitment to family well-being. My philosophy is rooted in holistic care; recognizing the physical, emotional, and relational needs of each family member. I believe that when parents are supported with compassion and knowledge, they are better able to thrive, bond with their baby, and step into their role with confidence. It is an honor to walk alongside families during this meaningful and transformative season.

Hello beautiful mama & family! My name is Carmen; I am a mother of two and a Postpartum Doula serving Santa Cruz, CA & surrounding areas. I have experienced the labor & postpartum period both without and with the support of a doula…THIS IS WHY I’M HERE. This unique perspective has graced me with the ability to know how it feels to go through the sacred transition from maiden to mother afraid, exhausted, overwhelmed (we can go on), as well as empowered, safe, supported and dare I say confident. I am here to be of service to you — to hold space for every emotion, help you nourish yourself, assist with newborn care, help around the house, point you in the direction of other local resources; anything you might need to feel held, seen and supported as a new mother. I am currently accepting private pay as well as MEDI-CAL(woot woot!), including MCPs: • Central CA Alliance for Health • Kaiser of Northern CA • HealthNet

Getting a postpartum doula was the best decision ever. Specifically, having Carmen as my doula. She was the additional support I didn’t fully realize I needed until experiencing this beautiful process with her. Bringing new life into the world is no easy task but Carmen helped me through the recovery process in several ways. She was an extra set of hands when needed, she cooked meals for me and she was emotionally supportive. She provided me with self care tips that I was able to implement during a time that I found it hard to make time for myself. When becoming a mom, so much of yourself, both mentally and physically, is dedicated to your new baby. Carmen made sure that I was also taken care of. She helped me enter this newest chapter of my life with tools and support to care for not only my baby but myself. I couldn’t be happier with my decision to hire her as my postpartum doula and I would highly recommend her to anyone who is expecting a baby.

I had my son unassisted at home in my tub with my partner and Tyler as my virtual doula support. She was so sweet and helped me ride my waves of sensations until I brought my sweet boy home. I was reminded of my affirmations and goals throughout and after it all, she helped me latch baby and we have been exclusively breastfeeding now for 14 months! Tyler provided me with support and answered my questions in postpartum, I couldn’t have survived baby blues without her.

As a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, I provide gentle, responsive newborn care and support to caretakers. I specialize with overnight support. A Little Big Deal Newborn Care LLC focuses on supporting families with infants in their first 4 months of life (age adjusted) through direct care or consultations (virtually and in-person.) Services offered include daytime&overnight newborn care and postpartum support, lactation support, parent instruction on infant safety, developmental milestones, hygiene, sleep shaping, feeding, infant routines, ailments and concerns, nursery set-up, and Postpartum Mood and Anxiety Disorders. I encourage self monitoring for postpartum mood disorders (*I do NOT diagnose or treat such disorders.) I’m a Safe Sleep Ambassador trained through Cribs for Kids. Please be advised that I strictly adhere to the American Academy of Pediatrics Safe Sleep Recommendations while baby is under my care: this includes placing baby to sleep alone, on their back - on a firm, flat sleep surface that is free of objects including crib bumpers, blankets, pacifier clips, or toys (a space designed for infant sleep such as a crib/bassinet/pack n’ play is required.) I support all types of families with various traditions, practices, and philosophies without judgement. It’s an honor to help you become more confident in yourself, help you get the rest you need, and support your goals for your family’s life. Whether your priority is setting routines, stretching sleep durations, maximizing your milk supply, or learning the basics of baby care - I’m here to respectfully partner with you along the way. While I’m here to care for and guide you, I learn something new from each baby and parent I work with. In time, you’ll believe that you know your baby best and you’re what they need the most!

Kayla is an amazing doula who helped with our newborn twins girls for 5 months. She came 3 nights a week and by the end of the contract the babies were sleeping through the night!! The whole experience was so much better than I even imagined. I was so terrified of sleepless nights with twins while also taking care of our 3 year old during the day. Kayla supported us through all of it, and I cannot be more thankful.

Gisele was amazing with our newborn baby. She started with a week after we brought the baby home and stayed for 8 weeks - caring for the baby through the night. She was patient and quite knowledgeable about newborn care. Additionally, she paid attention to how we wanted the baby to be cared for and implemented the requests well. She was on time and professional and helped with things around the house as well. We highly recommend Gisele.

I’ve been working with families in the Bay Area for over 37 years and I absolutely love being part of this new phase of bringing a brand new baby home, weather this baby is your biological or adopted.

Recent review

Rosangela was a night doula for my two daughters. She took care of them for almost 3 months each. Rosangela has a gentle motherly nature that is soothing and helpful for me as a first time mom and during the transition from 1 to 2. She is extremely knowledgeable on newborn sleep schedules, milestones, breastfeeding and nursing. Rosangela took detailed notes of wake window, sleep durations, feeding times and diaper changes. She helps us establish a schedule and night time routine. Rosangela would point out things to our attention before our pediatrician did. Rosangela shares her experience while also giving room for us to make our own judgement and decisions as the parents. I am so glad I invested in her support during those tender and trying days.

✨ Hi friends! I’m Jess (she/her) — a queer birth & postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I grew up around birth and babies (shoutout to my nurse mom!) and fell in love with supporting new parents early on. After seeing so many of my friends navigate birth and postpartum without the support they deserved and needed, I knew this was the work I was meant to do. I offer care that’s supportive, inclusive, and centered on you—your values, your vision, and your unique journey into parenthood. If you’re pregnant, postpartum, or just dreaming about building your family someday, I’d love to support you. 💛
