Hi there! I'm thrilled to share that I've been on an incredible and rewarding journey as a birth and postpartum doula since 2019. Throughout these enriching years, I've expanded my expertise by becoming a certified Lactation Counselor and Certified Carseat Technician, allowing me to provide comprehensive support to the families I serve. It brings me such profound joy and fulfillment to connect with growing families from every background imaginable, each with their own unique story and journey into parenthood! My heart's deepest wish and professional mission is to be there for you during this transformative life transition - both as you prepare for your little one's arrival and in those precious, tender moments afterward. I'm committed to providing compassionate, knowledgeable support that honors your individual needs and choices during this special time.

Hi! I’m Sydney, the founder of The Village Doula Collective, LLC. My journey into birth work began nearly a decade ago while working as a nanny. What started as childcare evolved into something deeper—I found myself supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, and I realized how much I loved being part of that transformative time. That experience led me to become a doula, and since then, I’ve dedicated my career to providing compassionate, informed, and inclusive care. I am a certified full-spectrum doula, trained through the Somatic Arts & Sciences Institute, with additional education from organizations such as Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and Birth Advocacy Doula Training. I also received my Lactation Education Specialist training from Santiago Canyon College. I’ve had the honor of attending births and supporting families through postpartum recovery, and my passion for this work continues to grow. With a bachelor’s degree in sociology, I understand that birth support is not just about physical care—it’s about addressing the systemic disparities that impact birthing people, particularly in BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. My mission is to make doula care accessible and equitable, ensuring that every family—regardless of income, background, or identity—has the support they need. At The Village Doula Collective, we believe in the power of community. Whether through direct support, education, or advocacy, we’re here to uplift birthing people and the doulas who serve them.

Hi, I’m Tanya. I offer holistic pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum doula support rooted in the belief that the entrance to motherhood is a sacred and rite of passage. Before becoming a mother, I immersed myself in learning about birth- to avoid unnecessary medicalization and coercion, and to truly understand the magic and wisdom of my own body. I quickly realized how much we’ve been taught to distrust our physiology, and how empowering it felt to relearn what is innate and ancient within us. My first birth, at home, was transformative. It opened my eyes to the power of personalized care and pushed me to dive fully into birthwork, so I could serve other women and families seeking a similar path. My second birth was a powerful freebirth at home, surrounded by my closest friends and family. It took me even deeper- into surrender, into trust, into the raw connection between body, spirit, and baby. Now, as a mother of two, I’m here to offer grounded, compassionate support for your unique path- trusting your rhythms, honoring your choices, and reminding you that you were made for this.

Greetings, my name is Faviola and I am a certified Doula specializing in night support. I have over 6 years of experience in infant care and sleep training. I enjoy supporting families to adjust their new routine with their newborn, creating a guided and safe environment. Servicing Sacramento and surrounding counties. A bit about me, I lived in Elk Grove for 9 years now. My family, our two kids, kitties named Grayzie and Oliver along with our 5 chickens and a duck, have really enjoyed living here so far. I started my education in labor/postpartum during Covid. I volunteer for 2 years at the Methodist Hospital in S.Sac. After, I found my true passion for postpartum support.

I am a postpartum doula, lactation specialist, and heart behind Motherbird Birthing, a practice rooted in slow, sacred care for the tender fourth trimester. I help new mothers feel nourished, seen, and deeply supported as they heal, through warm meals, emotional tending, breastfeeding guidance, postpartum belly binding, and gentle home care. My philosophy is simple: Mothers deserve to be mothered, while they mother. Whether you are preparing your nest or already in the thick of postpartum, I'm here to walk beside you, softly, intentionally, and with reverence for the mother you are becoming.

Hey there, my name is Caroline Patterson and I'm a Certified Birth Doula under DONA. I've been a Doula since 2018 and absolutely love what I do! I've attended births in hospitals, homes, and birth centers. I have an herbal body care business and am deciding to pursue my path to becoming a midwife soon, as well. I live in Oregon House which makes for a unique location to be able to provide services in both Yuba and Nevada County and surrounding areas. I believe in holding space for my clients and making sure they feel safe, seen, and heard. I empower you by supporting you in making your own informed and intuitive decisions—you know your body and baby better than anyone else. While healthcare providers do a wonderful job making sure your little one is delivered safely, my main focus is on your specific needs, desires, emotions, and comfort. I’m here to witness you in your power and do all that I can to support you in your process. With the most care and respect, I will be a Guardian of your Birthing space.

I believe that all birthing people should have bodily autonomy. I support all types of birth—unmedicated or medicated, homebirth, hospital birth, or at a birth center. I’m simply there to support you and the decision you make for your birth experience.

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.

I’m a birth doula who finds uniqueness in each pregnancy and birth I support. I am honored to witness the beautiful transition into parenthood with my clients. My goal as a doula is to ensure my clients are truly informed about their options and feel empowered to make impactful decisions about their birth. I support all types of births and have witnessed unmedicated, vaginal births all the way to emergency c-sections and everything in between. I will support my clients in whatever decision they make for themselves and their families and give them the information needed along the way.

After retiring from a long career of working with children and families, I became a professional doula. I wanted to support and nurture birthing persons during this sacred time of their lives. I wanted to offer sacred holistic services to them, youth, and communities by partnering with them as they learn more about holistic reproductive wellness. I also wanted to educate them about the importance of preventive reproductive health care, maternal health justice, trauma-informed quality childcare, equity and advocacy, childbirth education and basic lactation support through coaching, training, and mentoring not only birthing persons but the community and new doulas. So, I immersed and dedicated myself to learning all that I could about how to support in this way. ​ I am the mother of two amazing adult sons and oftentimes reflect on my birthing experiences. They were both very different births but what helped me survive was the birthing team I chose and the village around me when I returned home and encourage those, I serve to embrace their community and build their village. ​ I am also a Childbirth Educator, an author, singer/songwriter, a Master of Ceremony and a speaker. I am a birth justice advocate that believes birth work is justice work and there is no way to separate one from the other!

I spent the first six years of my career working in early childhood education. First working in a daycare, then moving onto preschool, and later working as a nanny. My time in early childhood gave me a great appreciation of mothers, children, and families. I found it incredibly rewarding to be welcomed into someone’s home and life to care for their most precious possession. As I worked in early childhood I simultaneously took certifications in my other passion, fitness. I began to learn about anatomy and how different perinatal bodies are to women who have not given birth. One of my trainings stated that 80% of women will be pregnant (and eventually postpartum) at some point in their lives. This special consideration stuck with me. It wasn’t until my husband and I decided to try for children that I fully understood the wonder of fertility, pregnancy, and birth. I became obsessed with devouring all the information I could on these topics and finally stumbled upon Ina May’s guide to childbirth. This book completely changed how I viewed birth and melted my fears of childbirth away. However, by the time I became pregnant navigating the often confusing OB and even midwifery world left me feeling dizzy. The entire process left me feeling disempowered and I knew I couldn’t go into giving birth from this space. This pushed me to train to be a birth doula to ensure I would have a positive pregnancy and birth experience. The training helped me to understand physiological birth, navigating the medical world, and what I wanted even in the event of an unplanned obstacle. I finally felt confident I could handle whatever labor could throw at me. My passion for birth was born out of necessity and I plan to use that same level of devotion to help other women. I truly believe my unique skill set and experiences have lead me to the field of birth work. I created Fit to Birth to combine all my knowledge and passions. I hope to provide resources, education, and support to pregnant women in Sacramento and beyond.
