Celeste C. -Testimonial- Vallejo, CA

“Kristy offered her expertise and guidance in labor and childbirth. Sitting us down and listening to all of our concerns and fears. She helped guide us in creating a birth plan and how we envision our day. She walked us through different laboring positions, decision-making, breathing, and even massage techniques my fiancé could help with….”

My Doula Services Include:

  • 1-hour complimentary meeting to discuss your needs, explore how I can support you, and ensure we’re the perfect fit.

  • Two comprehensive, 3-hour sessions tailored to prepare you and your partner (and siblings or pets, if applicable) for labor and delivery. We’ll cover childbirth education, coping strategies, and your unique birth vision.

  • Two 1.5-hour video sessions focused on newborn caretaking, breastfeeding, and fostering early bonding with your baby.

  • My continuous presence, guidance, and unwavering support throughout your labor, from active labor through delivery and up to two hours postpartum (or longer, based on your needs).

  • A 3-hour in-home session during the first week postpartum (within 3 days after your milk comes in). This session includes optional nurturing treatments such as moxibustion, dry brushing, Gua Sha, body oiling, and infrared light, as well as breastfeeding support, baby care guidance, a baby massage tutorial, and a wellness check for both mother and baby.

Testimonials

"Kristy's guidance made me feel confident in the process, which is huge as a first time mom. She’s helped me continually with nutrition and holistic care for baby and support in mothering through the first 2 years!"

Erica, SF East Bay Area

"It was wonderful to have another woman with so much experience supporting me through all the emotions that I was feeling! It was invaluable that she provided help for my other children to transition into their new roles with the new baby. I found that being able to talk out my feelings with a nurturing expert was the most helpful for me!"

Jessica M., SF North Bay Area

“I felt cared for which made it easier to care for my baby. Kristy was so tender and kind and always present. I wouldn’t have wanted to birth without her and so grateful I had her by my side”
