I found Camila through Carrot’s recommended list of postpartum doulas, and as a first-time mom, I’ll admit I was nervous about having someone else care for my daughter. After our consultation, I had such a good feeling about Camila, and that’s where it all began. We had Camila with us for six weeks, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better postpartum doula. Her experience with babies is evident in everything she does. She cared for my daughter as if she were her own—with so much patience, love, and understanding, even through the most restless nights. Beyond caring for my daughter, Camila was also an incredible source of support for me. She gave me so many helpful tips and advice as a new mom, and I’m incredibly grateful for the confidence she helped give me during those early weeks. She was not only our doula but also became a friend who was there to help me navigate the ups and downs of new motherhood. Knowing my daughter was in such capable and loving hands allowed me to truly rest at night, which was invaluable during those first six weeks. I’m so grateful we found Camila and would highly recommend her to any new mom looking for compassionate, experienced, and trustworthy postpartum support. She was such an important part of our transition into parenthood, and we’ll always appreciate everything she did for our family.

Hi, my name is Raika, and I am a compassionate and experienced Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with over five years of experience supporting families during the beautiful and sometimes challenging transition into life with a newborn. I specialize in overnight postpartum and newborn care, providing calm, attentive, and personalized support so parents can rest and feel confident while their baby is in caring hands. My experience includes newborn feeding and burping, diapering, soothing techniques, bottle preparation and sanitizing, newborn sleep support, gentle sleep shaping, and support for babies experiencing gas, colic, or reflux. I am currently studying Early Childhood Development to continue expanding my knowledge of infant and child development. I am also CPR certified, HIPAA trained, TrustLine registered, and trained in postpartum doula care. I am up to date with Tdap, MMR, TB testing, and flu vaccination. As a mother myself, I understand how important it is for families to feel supported, respected, and cared for during the postpartum period. My approach is calm, nurturing, organized, and nonjudgmental. I believe every family and every baby is unique, so I adapt my care to each family’s individual needs, routines, values, and parenting preferences. My goal is not only to care for your newborn, but also to bring reassurance, rest, and peace of mind to your entire family. It is truly a privilege to support parents during such a special chapter of their lives.

Raika was also incredibly dependable and proactive. She would come in, take over the baby’s nighttime routine, keep everything organized, and allow us to actually rest without worrying. We especially appreciated waking up to her detailed updates about feedings, sleep, and diaper changes. Beyond her experience with newborns, Raika has a very caring personality. She listened to our preferences, respected the way we wanted to care for our baby, and never made us feel judged or overwhelmed. She gave us reassurance when we needed it most. If you are looking for someone who will care for your newborn with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, we highly recommend Raika. We are so thankful she was part of our postpartum experience and would hire her again without hesitation.

My name is Rebecca Garcia and I am thrilled you are seeking out a Doula for your journey. I have a strong energetic pull towards this life changing work, and I am so honored to be pursuing my passion as a birth worker. I love all things birth and feel that my strongest assets are listening, empathy, providing resources and cooking homemade meals for others. I tell all my clients, if there is a birth I am there. With all the stigma and negative depictions in the media surrounding birth, I want to ensure that my clients feel secure in all their decisions without any judgments. This Is Your Body, Your Birth & Only You Get To Make The Decisions That Works Best For You & Your Baby. I have two spirited little ones of my own; ages 4 and 6. I had doulas for both births and feel as though they made my birthing journey undeniably memorable. They feed me, hit pressure points during labor, loved me, educated me and most importantly encouraged me to find my voice and strength. These are the experiences I wish to provide to my future clients. I have experience in homebirths, birth centers & hospital settings. I understand that ones birthing journey is a sacred space, and wish to only support and offer any resources that may help aid in this time. If you are interested or just want to connect and talk anything birth, postpartum or baby please feel free to reach out. I am located in San Francisco and I am extending my services throughout the surrounding Bay Area. Virtual Options Also Provided

Rebecca was very thorough in the education she provided to us as first time parents in the lead up to the birth. There were 4 in depth sessions which were really appreciated and learned tons during. It alleviated some nervousness around giving birth. During the birth, she came over just before the baby was born at the hospital and gave me a massage and really helped advocate for my wishes as predefined in the birth plan (which she helped me develop). After the baby was born, we had a few additional sessions with her. She brought over bone broth, did a baby massage, and really made the day special for me with a tray of yummy treats. Additionally, she did a closing of the bones ceremony. It's really when i realized that in becoming a mom I went through a transition and a change that was more than I really understood pre-birth. I remain super grateful to Rebecca for the wonderful care she provided me during our time together. Thank you for all the training and education prior to the birth and in taking care of me post partum. I wished I had more time with her!
