Taylor was great! I am so fortunate to have met with and spoken with her about pregnancy and birth, and the importance of maternal health. She is very thoughtful, thorough and supportive. I would recommend my friends and family reach out to her in the future for birth support.

In 2014, after having my own home birth with a midwife, I knew that I wanted to help expectant families have that same empowered and supported birthing experience that I did. I am dedicated to making sure that you and your partner feel like you have the skills you need to have the most positive birth experience as possible. I love to explore and research ways to provide you with continuous support, and use evidence based information so that you can make educated decisions during your pregnancy, birth, and into postpartum. I support families all throughout the following areas: South Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco, and East Bay. I am 100% vaccinated and boosted.

Parents: please share your EDD & contact info in the message body šš¾ Birth doula of 13 years. This is my calling in life to be of service to labor/birth. Iām very grateful to have this as my service in this lifetime and believe every new life is a gift to be honored with care, love and respect for the process. Trained in techniques that encourage optimal fetal positioning by finding balance in the body (more comfort during pregnancy as well as labor/birth) optimal positioning helps labor be more comfortable, increasing odds of a efficient and smoother vaginal birth. I share these techniques with my clients in the third trimester to decrease the use of interventions & prevent trauma. Also practicing placenta encapsulation and massage therapy at Full Moon Birth & Family Wellness Center.
We had the most magical natural unmedicated birth experience in a hospital and we owe so much of it to Gretchen. Right from our first interaction when we were interviewing birth doulas, we were drawn by her warm nature. Her prenatal visits were extremely helpful be it the exercises she taught us to enable an optimal baby position for birth or her inputs into crafting our birth plan. We would have been lost with the information overload if not for her timely, targeted and super informative educational resources that have been extremely helpful to us as first time parents. She has always been a text or phone call away to address anything we needed. She brought in a sign of relief when she entered the labor room...her calming presence during my final stretch of labor and the positions she guided me through definitely helped me avoid an epidural. The icing on the cake was her singing a lullaby to our little one upon birth, it felt divine. She also captured beautiful moments of our baby's birth that we will cherish forever. I will always remember her positive affirmation 'You are stronger than you think!'. Can't thank you enough Gretchen for being the rockstar that you are and all your support to growing families :)

Weāre so grateful and appreciative for Stephanie when she was our night doula. Before the birth, Stephanie was communicative and supportive. She came to our house the first night we arrived home with our baby, and it made for the best transition ever! We originally planned for only 1 month with Stephanie, but we loved having her help so we asked her to stay for another month. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie to anyone who needs a night doula.

Supporting new parents during the sacred early days of parenthood is not just my workāit's my calling. I became a postpartum doula because I believe every family deserves to feel cared for, understood, and supported as they adjust to life with a newborn. My journey into this field began when I moved to California during my two years as an au pair, caring for young children and living closely with families. That experience sparked a deep passion in me for helping others navigate the tender, transformative moments of new beginnings. I saw firsthand how much of a difference compassionate, hands-on support can make āand I knew I wanted to offer that to growing families in a deeper way.

I want to start off by saying please donāt judge a book by its cover. Having Lisamaria as my doula was absolutely the best decision we made. Having Lisamaria provide support for my family before and after having my son was something I didnāt realize I needed. That no sleep zombie life really messes you up. Having Lisamaria watching my son while I rested aloud me to actually rest knowing he was in amazing hands. Her breath of knowledge and experience was beyond helpful. She taught me tips and tricks that no class or YouTube video taught me. I still remember the struggle I had trying to get my son in the sling so I could have my hands friend. For some reason I just COULD NOT get it. I watched Lisamaria as she just twisted and pulled and made such a cozy little place for my son to sleep and relax in the sling. It took me MULTIPLE times to finally get it down. I was getting pissed and overwhelm but Lisamaria was there helping me every time with all calmness and patience.

Hello families! Congratulations on your new addition(s)! My name is Kaila Stephens and I am a Newborn Care Specialist and Certified Lactation Counselor located in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have provided care for infants and their families for over a decade. I have a background in Early Childhood Care & Education, advanced newborn care training, and expertise in feeding, sleep shaping, parent education, nursery and baby registry set-up. Bringing new life into the world is an incredibly special and exciting time for families, but it is also a vulnerable time. My practice is judgement-free. My primary goal is to provide your family with the most support and knowledge possible to set you up for parenting success. When I am not caring for babies or running my business, I enjoy going to the park with my son, walking my dog Nemo, tending to my garden or reading a good book.
Kaila is simply amazing. She was with our family for the first ~15 weeks after our daughter was born (initially for 10 weeks but we loved her so much we extended). As first time parents we were nervous and a little crazed when our little one was born early at 38 weeks - from the moment she entered our home Kaila brought a calming warm energy. Not only was she incredibly sweet with our daughter, she was kind and supportive of us. We had great peace of mind knowing our little one was well cared for at night (and we got much needed rest!). Additionally in her capacity as a certified lactation consultant she gave advice and support, helping us monitor babyās weight and advising on pumping / increasing supply when we struggled with breastfeeding. Kaila was sweet with our pups as well - she truly became a part of our family. We couldnāt have asked for a better person to help us through our first few months adapting as new parents. Weāre more than happy to recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, kind and knowledgeable caretaker!
