About me

Hello! My name is Yasmine, and I’m a postpartum doula based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I have a background in psychology, which deeply informs the way I support families during the transition into parenthood. I believe the postpartum period deserves just as much care and attention as pregnancy and birth, and my goal is to help parents feel supported, confident, and cared for during this time. I provide practical and emotional support to families as they adjust to life with a newborn. This can include newborn care guidance, feeding support, helping parents get the rest they need, and creating a calm and nurturing environment during the early weeks after birth. My approach is compassionate, non-judgmental, and centered around meeting each family’s unique needs. I’m passionate about helping parents feel empowered and supported as they recover, bond with their baby, and find their rhythm as a family.

Service introduction

I provide compassionate postpartum doula support to help families adjust to life with a newborn. My services include newborn care guidance, feeding support (breastfeeding or bottle feeding), soothing techniques, sleep support, and helping parents get the rest they need. I also assist with light household tasks related to baby care, meal preparation, sibling adjustment, and emotional support for parents during the early postpartum weeks. My goal is to create a calm, nurturing environment where families feel confident, supported, and cared for during this important transition.

Packages
Postpartum Doula Support
I provide dedicated postpartum doula and newborn care support designed to help families navigate the early weeks with confidence and ease. I provide hands-on support with newborn care, feeding guidance (breast or bottle), soothing techniques, sleep support, and emotional support for parents. I especially enjoy supporting first-time parents as they learn their baby’s cues and build confidence caring for their newborn. All support is thoughtfully tailored to each family’s unique needs, preferences, and routines. Daytime support shifts are typically 5–9 hours, with 6+ hours recommended for meaningful support. Overnight care is offered in 8–12 hour shifts, with 10 hours recommended so parents can get restorative sleep while their baby is cared for. For the best continuity of care, I recommend 30–45 hours per week depending on your family’s needs. I strive to provide thoughtful, professional support that helps families feel calm, confident, and well cared for during the early postpartum period.
