INQUIRERS PLEASE LEAVE YOUR CONTACT INFO IN THE BODY OF YOUR MESSAGE! About Me: As a Full Spectrum Doula, Birthing Rights Advocacy & Trauma Prevention Specialist, Whole-Child/Regulated Parenting Coach, and Mother of three, serving families of Santa Cruz County, it is my firm belief that a person has the innate ability to bring their baby into the world and rock their own transformation into Motherhood/Parenthood, provided they are confident, informed, and encouraged. My role in a family's journey to parenthood is to help instill and bolster that confidence, provide the information, and fully support the decisions made through the efforts of inclusive, non-biased, trauma-informed care. No matter how a family comes together - be it through adoption, surrogacy, long-planned or unexpected pregnancy, my goal is to support your experience in a judgement-free, open hearted way. THIS is how we become empowered - THIS is how families are born.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce myself to you and share a little about what I do! My name is Kirsten Junghans and I am a DTI full spectrum doula, sleep trainer and postpartum chef. I serve the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a single mother to an 11 year old kiddo named Ivy. As a doula my job is to make sure you know that your curiosities, concerns and questions are valid. The need to be reassured and supported are normal and valid as well. I am an advocate for all birthing individuals. With that being said, it is my responsibility and honor to comfort and support you in labor. I will tirelessly advocate for you to have the birth you want, to answer your questions and to explain what is happening. However, I will not be taking away your power by making every decision for you. This is your body, your birth and your baby. My job as your advocate and support person is to make sure you are informed of all your options, so that you don't ever lose your rights to bodily autonomy when you walk into the hospital. As your advocate I will do my utmost to support you and your choices while explaining your options to you. You are still in control, and that is very important to me! As a postpartum doula, I never overlook the importance of following up with you after your baby's birth. I will support you in the days, weeks or even months afterward. There are many types of support I offer including, feeding support, emotional support, helping you find a rhythm, preparing meals, and holding the baby so you can sleep. Everything I do is done to empower you and help you feel confident in your new role. The most important thing I do during the postpartum period is encourage you to rest and bond with your new baby. The weeks after birth are an immensely beautiful and emotional time. This is not the time to worry about cleaning and jumping back into your normal life. It's time to rest and get to know the child you've waited so long to meet!

Greetings & congratulations on your growing family <3 I have been a birth worker for the past ten years and have served families in a variety of locations, from a free standing birth center on the Arizona/Sonora border as an apprentice midwife, to home & hospital births all around the bay area. I approach this work from a place of trusting the mother/birthing person as an expert in their needs and experience and believing that given the right tools and support a family can advocate for the birth experience they want in any location. My approach is to prepare for labor with education in the prenatal period and work my clients to plan adequately for a postpartum that will nourish integration of this new phase of life. I also bring my background in holistic health and often refer clients to work with herbs, exercise and nutritional protocol to facilitate the experience they desire.
