Annika joined our family for 2 months with our second baby and her help was such a relief for us through the sleepless nights. We had the first 6 weeks covered through our insurance and ended up extending her 2 more weeks out of pocket. Annika was easy to work with in terms of extending the contract -- and luckily she had another client after us otherwise we may have continued booking for another 3 months! During those months she actually helped us identify that our daughter was having silent reflux. Long story short, our baby ended up having multiple tongue ties that we got revised and wouldn't have figured out so quickly without Annika's recommendation to get her looked at! She never claimed to have expertise in areas she didn't know about and always guided us towards someone who did. Since the tongue ties were revised I was able to continue my breastfeeding journey. Annika was always on time, eager to help, wore a mask around our baby (I didn't know what she looked like without one until one of our last nights!) and sent detailed notes at the end of each night. I loved being able to know what happened throughout the night between feeding sessions even when someone else was holding my baby. I had never had a doula before but if I ever have a third child I will make sure that Annika is available. Not only are her services top notch, she is a lovely person to be around and so sweet. We love Annika and recommend her 100%!

I have always had a passion for working with children and families. I grew up on a small island in the heart of the Florida Keys. From an early age, I began babysitting and nannying. Once I graduated from high school, I decided to major in Early Childhood Education with a minor in Psychology. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and returned to the Keys to teach elementary school. For 10 years, I worked with many families and children of different ages and abilities, including those with special needs. During this time, I also began practicing yoga and as cliché as it may sound, yoga changed my life. It has provided me with an outlet to focus the mind, control the breath, and explore and appreciate the body. I decided that I wanted to share the powerful and lasting benefits of this practice with others. I have studied hatha, vinyasa, yoga philosophy, meditation, standup paddleboard yoga, and pregnancy + postnatal yoga. It was during my pregnancy + postnatal yoga training that I became interested in becoming a doula. I felt compelled to find a way to provide much needed support for individuals and families before, during, and after birth. I decided then, to pursue a new life and career path. I trained through DONA International to become a certified birth and postpartum doula. I have taken various additional trainings such as Body Ready Method®, Spinning Babies® workshops, rebozo techniques, LGBTQ+ family equality, Spinning Babies® certified parent education, basics of breastfeeding, and infant first aid and CPR. I am committed to using my experience, knowledge, and ability to hold space to provide unbiased informational, emotional, and physical support that empowers you to make the right choices for yourself and your family.

We chose Shaina based on her previous reviews and were especially drawn to those that mentioned her expertise with difficult births and her ability to slow things down and success avoiding C sections with healthy births. We delivered our IVF pregnancy on April 2026 and remain so grateful Shaina was part of our journey and birthing team. She was available for all questions both before and during the birth. She was the expert in our corner for all medical decisions going into our 39 week induction and made us feel 100% confident in the decisions we were making. During the birth, I could not be more grateful for the focus and support Shaina provided. Once things got going, she immediately told us she was the only voice we needed to focus on and she would translate and pass along everything the medical team was saying or asking. She kept my wife so focused and calm the medical team had to come running because labor moved along so much faster and efficiently than any on the team expected. I strongly believe Shaina made pushing and active labor so manageable our healthy baby came many hours earlier than all predictions. She is the calming voice and empathetic expert you need in the room and I would highly recommend Shaina to anyone on a pregnancy journey.

I’m Perri Grant, a compassionate doula based in the vibrant city of San Diego, My dedication is to empower mothers throughout their birthing journeys. I have a genuine passion for maternal well-being, and I am committed to providing unwavering support to expecting mothers. I advocate and ensure that your voice and choices are respected and heard during medical interventions. As a black doula, it is essential to acknowledge the persistent disparities in mortality rates among black and brown women. I am committed to providing a supportive and empowering birthing experience actively addresses the unique challenges faced by black and brown mothers, contributing to the broader effort to reduce these disparities..

I love Perri! She was there for me last minute for my birth and i wouldn’t have made it without her. She took on almost everything and got me to understand the nurses and doctors. As a single mom i was overwhelmed, nervous, terrified, and more. With with all that, I’m glad she showed up last minute when she was called because i had literally no one that could be there and by the grace of god she showed up and so did my sons godmother. She doesn’t just stop at the hospital. Still, throughout my postpartum, she has still given me 110% support and is able to guide me into motherhood smoothly. She will forever be apart of our lives. I 100000/10 recommend her to any mothers in need of a supportive doula.

Hi, I’m Cheyenne! I take great pride in the care and services I offer. With over eight years of experience as a birth, bereavement, and postpartum doula and more than fifteen years as a professional caregiver and house manager, I am deeply dedicated to supporting families as they grow, learn, and navigate parenthood. I am also a licensed foster parent in California, serving the San Diego County community with compassion and commitment. I value word-of-mouth connections because they build trust and create a more personal experience, allowing families to feel comfortable reaching out with any questions. I can’t wait to connect with you!

Cheyenne has such a warm, engaging presence, it was impossible to not feel her support as navigating my pre- & postpartum journey with both of my boys. Whether she was sharing tools and guiding me and my husband through them, empathizing with my anxieties as a new parent, standing up for my wishes with providers, or engaging me individually in support of creating the best environment for my boys to enter the world, I felt her standing by my side and rooting for me. Cheyenne has an indepth knowledge of pre- & postpartum navigation for both Mom and baby, and her collaboration with and referrals to other providers were So helpful on multiple occasions (for pregnancy massage to support baby being head down & lactation supports related to bottle refusal). I strongly recommend Cheyenne if you are considering having someone by your side for pre- or postpartum navigation.

Hi, I’m Barbara! I’m a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), postpartum doula support provider, and a mom to a toddler girl. With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and infants—including children with special needs—I bring both professional knowledge and real-life understanding to every family I support. I specialize in overnight newborn care, helping parents get the rest they need while ensuring their baby is safe, soothed, and well cared for throughout the night. I am experienced with paced bottle feeding, recognizing newborn cues, soothing techniques, and supporting healthy sleep habits from the very beginning. I know how overwhelming the newborn stage can feel, and my goal is to bring a calm, reliable, and nurturing presence into your home so you can feel supported, confident, and truly rest.

Recent review

There are truly not enough words to express how grateful we are for Barbara. Bringing home a newborn for the second time, I thought I knew what to expect but postpartum is still such a vulnerable, emotional and exhausting season. Having Barbara with our family for the last 2.5 months completely changed our experience in the best possible way. From the very beginning, Barbara brought such a calming, nurturing, and reassuring presence into our home. She cared for our daughter with so much love, gentleness, patience, and attentiveness that it immediately gave me peace as a new postpartum mom. She didn’t just help with our baby but she cared for me, too which is something I will never forget. Barbara has such a gift with newborns and our girl genuinely became a happier, more settled, more content baby under her care and guidance. Barbara helped us establish healthy routines, taught us so many helpful techniques, and always approached everything with such confidence and warmth. Even during hard nights or moments when I felt overwhelmed emotionally or physically, Barbara never made me feel judged or incapable. Instead, she encouraged me, reassured me, and helped build my confidence as a mother during one of the most emotional seasons of life. Because of Barbara, I was able to heal postpartum more peacefully, get more rest, feel more emotionally supported, and truly enjoy these precious newborn months instead of just surviving them. She helped create calm in our home during a time that can otherwise feel chaotic and exhausting. I honestly can say I am a better, stronger, more confident mom because of her support. Not only is Barbara incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but she is also deeply compassionate and intuitive. She became such a trusted part of our family, and having her in our home never once felt intrusive but rather comforting, safe, and supportive. She treated our daughter with the same tenderness and care that family would. Watching someone love and care for your baby in the middle of postpartum is incredibly emotional, and Barbara gave us the greatest gift: peace of mind. Knowing our baby was in such loving, capable hands allowed me to breathe again. We will forever look back on this season with gratitude because of Barbara. Any family would be beyond blessed to have her support during the newborn stage. She is truly exceptional at what she does, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I’m a dedicated postpartum doula and proud mom of two boys, with a deep passion for supporting families during the early stages of parenthood. My journey working with children began in a Montessori setting, where I cared for little ones ranging from 6 weeks to 5 years old. That experience, along with years of babysitting, helped me develop a strong understanding of child development and a genuine love for nurturing young children. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I worked as an overnight nanny, supporting families through those tender and often exhausting newborn nights. It was during this time that I realized how meaningful it was to care not just for babies, but for parents as well. Wanting to provide more intentional, informed support, I pursued professional training to become a postpartum doula. Now, I’m honored to walk alongside families as they adjust to life with a new baby—offering compassionate care, practical guidance, and a calm, reassuring presence during this special transition.

We are beyond grateful for Bettina as our doula for the birth of our son. She immediately felt like a family member upon first interaction. She was wonderful teaching me and my husband techniques to prepare for birth, incorporating our ideas and needs, and helping our birth be the magical experience we were hoping for. Bettina was the captain to our team that was able to function seamlessly. She helped us communicate and all feel safe and heard the whole way. We would have her again as a doula in the future.

Hi, Im Andrea. Founder of Maternal Haven, Birth + Postpartum Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Creator of the Haven Circle™ Model of Care. I support families through the deeply transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Guided by the Haven Circle’s core pillars of connection, continuity, restoration, and community care, my approach blends holistic healing with evidence-informed practices to create a grounded and nurturing experience for every family. I specialize in providing intentionally curated labor, birth, and postpartum support that honors both traditional wisdom and modern perinatal needs. My work bridges the gap between these worlds ensuring families feel truly held, informed, and empowered as they step into parenthood. Through Maternal Haven, I offer care that is restorative, culturally mindful, and deeply personalized. Because your journey deserves a circle of support that evolves with you, every step of the way. The Values That Shape My Work: I’m a first-generation Latina raised in a multigenerational household where caregiving was shared, community was central, and support was collective rather than individual. I grew up with a deep understanding of the “village”, mutual aid, interdependence, and emotional presence as foundational to well-being. Those early values shaped my path into caregiving. I began my work supporting families as a nanny during children’s most formative years, and later transitioned into birth and postpartum doula care, childbirth education, and mentorship for emerging doulas. Across each role, one belief has remained constant: meaningful support is built through continuity, not urgency. How I Support Families: My approach sits at the intersection of emotional wellness, cultural humility, and practical guidance. I honor ancestral knowledge while also supporting families as they navigate modern perinatal systems and healthcare structures. Through Maternal Haven, I offer support that evolves as families’ needs change, providing steadiness across pregnancy, birth, and postpartum rather than isolated moments of care. A Circle of Care That Grows With You: Whether I’m facilitating a prenatal session, supporting someone through labor, or offering quiet presence during postpartum recovery, my intention remains the same: to help families feel informed, supported, and confident as they step into parenthood. Your journey deserves care that is thoughtful, restorative, and personal. Care that adapts as you do. Care that walks with you, every step of the way.

I have a difficult time finding the right doula for me and i was losing hope, until i was matched with Andrea and i felt like i had a huge relief. My pregnancy was full of ups and downs but Andrea made sure from the start that she was fully by my side and never made me feel alone. Her empathy and comprehension was something that i was definitely looking for in a doula because in my first pregnancy i felt unheard and put to the side while i was in labor with my first daughter. This time around anytime i had any fears or doubts Andrea was always quick to be comforting and supportive with her words. She is such a sweet and special person to me who i will always cherish because she is one of a kind. Durning my labor with my second daughter when it was calm she made everything so peaceful, even when things changed and the energy shifted and i was scared because my body went into fetal ejection reflex and pushed my daughter out at 7cm Andrea never stopped caring for me and going above and beyond to support me and help me ease my anxiety. She also saved my sanity and gave me peace doing overnights and taking care of my newborn while i recovered from my birth. Words cant describe how grateful i am for Andrea she is the best doula out there.

Kristy has been such a gift to our family since 2022. She has walked alongside us through so many seasons, from those tender first days of bringing home a brand new baby to toddlerhood and everything in between. She has a beautiful way of stepping in and noticing the needs you don’t even realize you have. She has helped me feel less alone, offered an extra set of hands when I needed them most, and has always cared for our family with so much thoughtfulness and heart. She is truly the person I know I can call when I need someone I trust with childcare. I’ve also had the privilege of seeing the care she has given to other families, and the gratitude they have for her speaks volumes. Kristy doesn’t simply help care for children, she cares for the whole family during seasons when an extra set of loving hands can mean everything. We are incredibly grateful for Kristy and the care, consistency, and kindness she has brought into our lives. Any family would be so fortunate to have her. 🤍
