Hello and Welcome! My name is Doula Talia, providing birth and postpartum services throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I transitioned away from a delightful 20+ year profession in healthcare management and chose to train as a doula, a career where I can nurture my path of service to others. I believe how we give and show up in the world is how we receive. My natural desire to build community and connect with others brings me here today. Part of my role as a doula is empowering families by listening to their birth goals and holding space for them to make informed decisions. My goal is that the birthing person and team feel confident and grounded. Everyone has an inner self-power that can ignite in all situations! I am the friend one calls when they need a calm, centering voice of reassurance. My greatest joy is that I am a mother to my favorite human beings. My experience of motherhood and being an aunt of 10 adds another essential layer of depth to my work as a birth and postpartum care doula. Please contact me directly at “doulatalia.sf@gmail.com” Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

I’m a certified doula specializing in postpartum care, a lactation counselor, and a pre/postnatal yoga teacher. My heart lies in blending ancient wisdom with modern practices to help families navigate the fourth trimester and help mothers fully heal from birth, step into their new identity of mother with confidence, and show up for their growing family from a centered place. I believe that when we care deeply for postpartum families, we cultivate communities that are honest, gentle, radical, and resilient. These are the communities that change the world.

Hi! I'm Priya! I provide infant and maternal occupational therapy in home (San Francisco, Marin, Bay Area California) or virtually. My areas of specialty are: whole body torticollis treatment, baby helmet prevention, plagiocephaly, functional oral-motor evaluations, oral-motor therapy, breastfeeding therapy, pre/post frenectomy/frenotomy care & rehabilitation. The services I provide to parents and babies fill the gaps in our current healthcare system that offers constant prenatal care for mom, but then drops the ball as soon as the baby arrives. Our system often fails mothers and infants in their 4th trimester and the 1st year of baby’s life. This can lead to stress, guilt, fear and late-night googling for answers. It’s my mission to save as many families as I can the stress that can come with having a new baby! And by the way, I will always address infant and maternal health together, because wellness for mom and baby are intertwined. When I was stressed out and confused about what next steps were, so was my baby. I help parents save time researching and worrying so that they can parent infants and toddlers with more confidence. Whether you want some help with tummy time, a little peace of mind or your child needs a Balanced Babies OT approach for a specific concern like a “flat head” spot, torticollis, difficulty breastfeeding due to oral dysfunction, TOTs (i.e. lip or tongue ties), reach out. Listen, it takes a village. Many of us don’t have our village (yet), or our villages are a plane ride away. Allow me to be part of your village so that you can spend less time worrying and more time showering, sleeping and connecting with your baby! So when that nagging feeling that something is not quite right won’t quit, trust your parent gut. You know your child best.

Hi, I’m Nicole! I'm a certified postpartum daytime doula located in San Francisco. I became a doula because I believe every family deserves to feel cared for, supported, and empowered in this tender season. My approach is calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental, offering both practical newborn care and the emotional support parents need to truly rest and bond. With over 9 years in Human Resources, I also uniquely support families navigating their careers and health benefits with confidence (if desired). I enjoy being outdoors, cooking & baking, and reading.

Hi There! I'm Maddie, I am a C-FSD ('22) and live in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Being a doula is my identity above all other identities. My training with Birthing Advocacy guides my approach which is: evidence-based, unbiased, judgment-free, and trauma-informed. My goal is for you to have an empowered experience with this transformative life event. I am also deeply passionate about menstrual health and providing people with the details of this biological process and its physiological response, and how to build a collaborative relationship with the menstrual cycle (a key indicator of your overall health!). When I am not talking about reproductive health, you’ll find me spending my time learning about life. I am a creative and my favorite expression is through photos. I am a student of my spirituality. I love to move my body, travel, cook, and love – all things that teach us about life and connect us to the people and the earth around us.
