Recent review

Becoming first-time parents after 40 came with its share of excitement and anxieties, and having Thaiz by our side made all the difference. As both a newborn care specialist and postpartum doula, she brought such calm, warmth, and expertise into our home—caring for our baby with incredible gentleness while also supporting us as new parents. She answered our endless questions, helped us build confidence, and always knew whether we needed guidance, reassurance, or simply rest. Beyond her skills, what stood out most was her kindness and nurturing spirit; she felt like part of the family. We’re so grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any new parents.

My partner and I took 3-part hypnobirthing class with Klarity. It was very personalized, holistic and gave us homework and told to practice for months leading up to birth. We were also fortunate for Klarity to be our doula. Our baby came very early and Klarity didn't skip a beat, shifting her schedule around to be present with us that day and through the birth. Her calm, grounded presence and experience working alongside medical team was invaluable and I felt well supported. I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to have Klarity in our both team and highly recommend her to others.

Hi, I’m Sofia. I’m a birth and postpartum doula trained through The Circle Family Center, a certified 500-hour yoga teacher with six years of experience specializing in pre and postnatal yoga, and a trained mindfulness childbirth educator through the Mindfulness Childbirth Class with Nancy Bardacki. My work integrates mindfulness, embodiment, and evidence-based education to support parents through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum with confidence, clarity, and calm. When people feel supported and safe, their bodies are better able to move out of the fight flight freeze response and into a more grounded, responsive state. This shift allows labor to unfold more smoothly and helps parents stay present and connected throughout the process. I meet each client where they’re at, honoring the full spectrum of birth preferences and experiences with compassion, presence, and care. As a mother to a three-year-old, I bring both personal insight and professional experience to my work, offering guidance that is informed, empathetic, and deeply rooted in lived experience.

Recent review

I cannot express how grateful I am for the incredible support I received from Sofia during the birth of my first child. From the moment we connected, it felt like it was meant to be. She was everything I didn’t even know I needed and so much more. During labor, especially when unexpected complications arose, she was my anchor. She guided me through every intense moment with such positivity and grounding techniques that I didn’t panic and remained confident in my body. I am sure that because of her support, I was able to avoid a C-section and stay focused on what my body was capable of. She also supported my husband and mother. They also are so grateful. Her compassion, knowledge and advocacy truly are unmatched. She made all of us feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. I truly believe my birth experience would have been completely different without her—she transformed it into something I look back on with strength, pride, and deep gratitude. If you are considering a doula, lucky you to have found her. She is phenomenal in every sense of the word, and I feel beyond blessed that she was my doula. I will cherish the impact she had on my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum life forever.

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.

Recent review

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.

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.

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.

I experienced my first birth at 12 years old and knew from then on that I wanted to be involved in birth work and babies. After reading Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth during my first pregnancy, I was introduced to the term “doula” and knew that I wanted to be one. With the birth of my second child and having a doula, I KNEW that this was my calling. I am especially passionate about working with families of color and other marginalized communities that need support during pregnancy and beyond. I believe that everyone and anyone should have access to doula support. I am excited about the opportunity to support families in their birth and post-partum journey! Random facts about me: I have a daughter and a son. I think that dogs are a gift to humans. I am an avid reader- I can usually be found listening to an audio book throughout the day. I am currently a pre-counseling student with an end goal of earning my Doctorates degree to be a therapist. I am as passionate about mental health as I am about birth work. I look forward to supporting you and your family!
