Hey! My preferred name is Vivian. I believe pregnancy/Birth and Postpartum are very important and should be handled as a life event with the birthing person and family getting all the care resources and support they need and this is why I became a doula because CHANGE starts with you- I am here to make a difference no matter.

My husband and I will forever be grateful to Janay for helping us get through the first few months of a newborn! Janay brought expertise, warmth, and patience to her role as a nighttime doula. She answered our manyyy questions and helped us make decisions. It was such a blessing to get some more sleep while feeling confident that our little one was in good and loving hands with Janay. And outside the direct care she gave, she was a great communicator and always punctual. Thank you, Janay!

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!

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 am a Madriella Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula! I have a passion for helping birthing persons have a voice and the labor they want. I also feel so strongly about providing new parents strong postpartum support however they need it.

Recent review

Marcie was my birth doula and my postpartum doula. She supported me and my husband at the hospital during L&D. Her care for me was so personalized to what I needed. She was very much an asset during a vulnerable time. Since we've been home, she has helped with our toddler, laundry, meals, and emotional support. If a few days go by without us chatting she will reach out to me to make sure I am coping with nursing, and sleep deprivation. Truly a gem to have as a member of your "village."

Hi my name is Allison! Helping families with breastfeeding is my passion. As a mother myself, I've gone through feeding struggles firsthand. What I've learned is that having good support is key to getting feeding off to a great start. Being a young mom with a baby in the NICU and going through pre-eclampsia without support, ignited the fire in me to help others have the support that I needed during that fragile time. I completed my IBCLC certification through UC San Diego Extention under Dr. Gini Baker in 2019 and did my clinical work at SJGH's NICU wing. I currently offer in home lactation consults in the San Joaquin and Sacramento areas, as well as virtual consults.

Elizabeth was amazing! Prior to birth, she always responded to my texts quickly and offered so much emotional support. When it came time for labor, Elizabeth was the perfect fit for us. She showed my husband ways of offering counter pressure, and she gave helpful suggestions for coping through contractions. She brought supplies that came in very handy (like a hand held fan when I was very hot) and she was a calming presence throughout our birth. She took priceless photos and videos of our birth that I cherish so much! I would absolutely recommend Elizabeth to anyone looking for a doula!
