Hi there! My name is Lindsey! I'm a Birth Doula, mom of a beautiful 13 month old baby boy, married to my best friend and was born and raised in the Bay Area! I have always had an immense level of respect and awe for birth, but it was really through my own pregnancy and natural, unmedicated and intervention free birth that a passion was ignited for serving women through this life-changing event. So many women lack the support they need to feel confident in the power they hold when they bring their babies into this world. My hope is that I can provide that support to you and help you achieve a positive birth experience. My goal for my clients is that you go into your birth feeling confident, empowered, educated, and in charge. I care that you've had a chance to access all of the information, have had time to ask questions, have had time to come to an answer and can give TRULY informed consent to any procedure. I also just really want to have a good time with you during one of the most incredible seasons of life. I'm so happy to meet you!

Hello everyone, I’m Ligia Carvalho, a certified postpartum doula passionate about supporting families as they transition into parenthood. I believe the postpartum period is a time of deep transformation—one that should be met with care, rest, and reassurance. My approach is rooted in nurturing both baby and parents, offering hands-on support with newborn care, feeding, sleep rhythms, cooking and emotional well-being. Every family is unique, and I tailor my care to meet your specific needs, ensuring you feel confident, informed, and truly supported. In my free time I like to cook, to go on hikes with my husband and travel to National Parks.

As a doula and childbirth educator with over 20 years of experience, I have come to learn that compassionate support is the most important thing I bring to birth. Close to 1000 births matters. Having taught 1000s of couples in childbirth classes matters. But mostly what matters is that the person giving birth feels respected, listened to and supported by someone who is thinking about all possible options for you in an objective way. I believe in freedom of choice based on knowledge of the alternatives. I aim to increase confidence and decrease fear. And in the end, I want you to feel like you have had a compassionate, knowledgeable companion dedicated to helping you navigate this this major life transition that we call birth.

I want to start off by saying please don’t 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 didn’t 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.

Hi, I’m Marina Poole, a certified birth doula and prenatal yoga teacher. I’m passionate about empowering women to embrace their birth experiences with confidence and joy. Through a combination of physical and mental preparation, I support expectant mothers with tailored exercises, self-advocacy tools, and guidance to help them achieve a smoother, more empowered birth. I believe in the transformative power of birth and advocate for minimal intervention, fostering a gentle, non-traumatic experience that honors both mother and child. My approach is all about helping women reclaim their power and pleasure in the birth process, ensuring a positive, lasting impact on their journey into motherhood. Reach out if you're interested in planning a "natural hospital birth", birth center or home birth. I love everything about physiologic birth and am excited to help you do this!

Recent review

As first-time parents, Marina was the lighthouse that guided us through the uncertainty and stress of our high-risk pregnancy. She took special care from the moment we started working with her to listen to our history, heartaches, and questions and use that information to provide specific guidance at each stage of our pregnancy. We'd recommend her as a doula to any expecting mother!

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!
