Postpartum doula in training · Peninsula and South Bay
Gentle care for the first weeks at home
I come to you, so you can rest, heal and get to know your baby.
Hi, I'm Adiyah
The oldest of four, a former nanny and a fitness trainer who worked with new moms, I'm now training as a postpartum doula with DONA International. It's an honor to make your first weeks a little gentler.
The fourth trimester
The weeks after birth matter too
A postpartum doula supports you at home after your baby arrives. Practical help, a calm presence and someone on your side, while your body heals and your family finds its rhythm. Practical and emotional support, never medical care.

Questions
Do I need a doula?
You don't have to be struggling to ask. If more rest or a calm extra pair of hands sounds good, the free call is a good start.
How long is a visit?
At least 2 hours, usually about 4. We plan the hours together.
When can you come?
Any day of the week, during the day.
When should I get in touch?
Any time, during pregnancy or after the birth. Earlier is easier for planning.
