Hi, I’m Mirella, a postpartum doula based in the Bay Area. I specialize in overnight newborn care, supporting families through the early weeks with their baby for the past 4 years. I help parents feel more rested, confident, and at ease while caring for their newborn, assisting with feeding, soothing, and establishing gentle routines that work for the whole family. My approach is calm, attentive, and tailored to each family. I focus not only on caring for your baby, but also on supporting you; whether that’s helping you get the rest you need, answering questions, or simply offering reassurance during this new chapter. Before your baby arrives, I also offer a complimentary in home visit so we can get to know each other, go over your setup, and make sure you feel fully prepared. My goal is for you to feel confident, supported, and at ease in your early days as a family 🤍

I am pleased to offer my most sincere recommendation of Mirella for anyone who is looking for a reliable, capable, nurturing and dedicated postpartum doula. From the moment Mirella walked into our home, I knew we made the right decision in finding support for our newborn! I never thought I could so easily trust another person with my baby, but Mirella has a calm confidence about her that is immediately nurturing and welcoming. Mirella is kind, compassionate, and punctual. Our daughter settled easily in her arms, and even as a breastfeeding mother, I was able to get valuable rest in the early days of motherhood. I quickly considered her a friend of our family. If you are fortunate enough to be able to welcome Mirella into your home, know that you are making an important investment in your physical, emotional, and mental recovery post birth.

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.
