Hi, I'm Heather Arauz, founder of My Mamas Doula and proud mama of six amazing children. Each birth was a beautifully different journey that has ultimately led me to my purpose as a doula and aspiring midwife. My passion for birth work stems from a deeply personal space. My six births: • Non-emergency cesarean section • Medicated VBAC at the hospital • Natural VBAC at the hospital • Natural VBAC at the hospital with a midwife • Natural VBAC at a birthing center with a midwife and doula • Natural VBAC homebirth with a midwife and doula From a c-section to a natural VBAC homebirth, I know firsthand how different and how powerful every birth can be. I know the courage it takes to choose a VBAC, to trust your body, and to advocate for yourself in a system that doesn't always make it easy. I am also a postpartum depression survivor. I understand the complexity of the weeks and months after birth. I will never minimize what you are feeling. You will always be seen and supported without judgment. My personal mission: Mother the mother, one mama at a time. When a woman feels held, informed, and truly cared for, she will find her own strength. I am here simply to remind you of the power you naturally possess and empower the voice inside you to be your biggest advocate for your body and your baby.

She is passionate for what she does, extremely well-educated, experienced, loving and professional very punctual. I can always rely on her.

She organized the baby’s clothes, prep things out for me, gave me some great recipes to produce milk and also surprised me and would make some for me when I would wake up. She made my favorite oatmeal for breakfast. She was very attentive to my newborn baby , I appreciated her detail of how the night went. She anticipated my needs before I knew I had them. She is amazing !! I’m forever grateful for her, I don’t know what I would have done without her.

"I can not recommend Jenn (Destiny Doula) enough! After having a c-section with my first born I was determined to have a vbac for my second pregnancy and wanted extra support to ensure that my wishes were heard! I started searching for a doula and after chatting with Jenn on the phone I knew she was a perfect fit. I was concerned for my husband when it came time for labor and delivery wanted to be sure that he was also taken care of so I could remain as calm as possible! Jenn is a saint, she listens and understands to what you’re wanting and she knew what to do to help me through labor when I didn’t even know what I needed. I still remember the calming smell of the essential oil she had misting in my room, the dimming of the lights and quieting the beeping machines. She’s like a Mary Poppins; she rolls in with everything needed and is so reassuring without stepping over your wishes at anytime. After 12 hours and vomiting through labor she was there to welcome our baby girl all while documenting it through pictures that I didn’t even realize were being taken. I cannot thank her enough for empowering me and helping me have the birthing experience I desired.

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 highly recommend Dainara! She is such a caring, compassionate and dedicated doula. Her warmth, patience and knowledge make you feel supported, comfortable and confident throughout the journey. She truly has a gift for making people feel heard, respected and cared for. You can tell how much she loves what she does and how genuinely committed she is to supporting families. Anyone would be lucky to have her by their side during such a special and important time in life!

Katelyn is a wonderful doula and I would highly recommend her and her services in your pregnancy and/or postpartum journey. She provides services throughout the Bay Area including the peninsula (such as Mountain View & Palo Alto), South Bay, and many parts of the East Bay. As a second time mom, I knew I would need some extra help during the fourth trimester. From the initial consultation, I knew Katelyn would be a great fit. She's professional, communicative, knowledgeable, kind, and responsible -- all qualities you would want in a doula who is caring for you and your new little one. I ended up engaging Katelyn for postpartum daytime services which was one of the best decisions. She made the postpartum experience so much smoother, easier, and less stressful. She helped with meal prep, laundry, and light household tasks, as well as provided education on the postpartum period and how to properly baby wrap and wear using a boba (cloth) wrap. She also cared for my baby so that I could do other things like shower, eat, and rest. This allowed me to focus on my recovery and bonding time with my baby. Katelyn also accepts Carrot benefits and Kaiser insurance, which is a huge plus for those who are eligible. If you're looking for an understanding, supportive, and empathetic doula, look no further! Katelyn would be a huge asset to any birthing person in their pregnancy and/or postpartum journey.

Dainara was such a huge help during my postpartum recovery. She is a very calm, caring, and attentive person, both with the baby and with me. What I appreciated most was how she always respected our routine and preferences while still offering help and guidance whenever we needed it. Having someone you can trust during this time, especially on those difficult nights, makes such a big difference. She is a wonderful professional, and I would definitely recommend her!
