Hi, I’m Lianne—some like to call me Li. I’m a 34-year-old woman deeply committed to supporting parents and individuals through big life transitions, especially the beautiful, complex journey into parenthood. I understand how vulnerable and transformative this time can be. My goal is to walk alongside you with care and steady support—nurturing not just your baby, but you, and your whole family, as you adjust and grow. In addition to my work with families, I run an organic skincare company that connects me to the natural world through ingredients like shea butter, calendula, castor oil, etc. I bring that same care into your postpartum experience—whether it’s preparing nourishing meals, offering soothing massages and herbal baths, steeping teas, or blending hydrating tonics. Everything I do is designed to support your body, mind, and nervous system. I’m certified in infant CPR and life coaching, and I'm very open to learning if there is something you wish for me to delve into during our journey together! I bring compassion, experience, and a calm presence to every family I work with. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I am a birth doula that empowers birthing people and families by equipping them with the knowledge and resources they need to make the best choices.

As a night postpartum doula, my approach centers on responsive care and fostering secure attachments. With over 8 years of professional childcare experience, I bring a unique blend of warmth, expertise, and a deep understanding of family dynamics to every home I support. My journey began in a bustling diverse household (Filipina immigrant mama & American dad with Chinese, European, and Spanish roots) as the third eldest of eight, where I naturally became my mother’s helper. This early immersion in childcare instilled in me a profound comfort around infants and children. Today, I draw on this foundation to provide families with compassionate, responsive care that prioritizes the emotional and physical well-being of both parents and babies. I believe that by responding promptly and sensitively to a baby's needs, we lay the groundwork for secure attachments, fostering a nurturing environment where both babies and parents can thrive.

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.

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!
