This review is long overdue…read more I had my first child in Dec 2023. I worked with Chandra as my postpartum doula and the experience was nothing short of amazing! She was like a second mother / sister to me the entire time. The first few weeks of postpartum were truly a rollercoaster ride of emotions but working with Chandra made it so much easier. I could ask her any question and knew that there was no judgement whatsoever. I felt so comfortable around her within a few days. She was the blessing I needed during my postpartum phase and I am truly grateful that our paths crossed. She is a wonderful human being with such a beautiful aura. The treats she made were so tasty and healthy. When I mentioned to her how I loved a certain treat she made, she made me the same one a few days later as a surprise in addition to what she already made for me. On our last day, she gave me a sacred thread to bless me and my family which I am still wearing a whole year later! I am super thankful to her for taking care of me so well during my postpartum phase. she is truly a gem!

Chandra and Soi have been the most incredible support system during my postpartum period. My first…read morepregnancy and postpartum were very difficult and I knew I wanted to take a different approach for my second baby. Chandra and Soi created a custom support package for me and worked closely with me to craft a plan to make sure that postpartum with my second baby was a more positive experience. While I was still pregnant, Chandra and Soi provided bodywork that really helped me prepare for the birth. Chandra also took the time to educate me on the Ayurvedic approach to postpartum (nutrition, bodywork, and healing in general). After my baby was born, Chandra delivered an incredible food and drink package to UCSF so that I could focus on my recovery from day 1. She was also in touch in the lead up and during the delivery providing emotional support and encouragement. After I came home from the hospital, Soi arrived and cared for me and my baby for 8 weeks. The level of care that was provided went above and beyond my expectations. Soi truly took care of me, so that I could be there for my new baby and toddler and be present with them to enjoy this precious time together. Soi cooked nutritious and warming meals for me, she provided daily bodywork to help my sore muscles, and she was there every step of the way encouraging me. She quickly became a very close friend that I knew that I could rely on. She was incredibly hands on with my newborn, making sure that I had time to rest and recover. It was such a relief to have someone in my home that I felt like I could trust, and who I genuinely believed cared about my and my baby's well being. Over the course of these 8 weeks Chandra was also always on call and available to provide additional support, advice, and encouragement. After the 8 week period I have continued bodywork with Chandra and it has made such a positive impact on my continued recovery. Working with Chandra and Soi was the best investment I could have ever made in my physical and mental health and my recovery. From the moment you meet Chandra you can immediately tell that she loves caring for others, and finds joy and meaning in helping other people. Soi also has a very positive and nurturing energy and puts 100% of her heart into her work. Every thing that Chandra and Soi do comes from a place of love and wanting to connect and care for new moms. I highly recommend both Chandra and Soi, and would work with them again with no hesitation.

Absolute sweetheart!…read more I'm shocked that more people haven't written a review for Rose and her incredible capabilities. I've done my share of acupuncture and let me tell you, Rose is the best. She very gentle, very encouraging, and totally professional. She puts all your worries at ease and always makes you so relaxed you will literally fall asleep with needles in various parts of your body with no problem at all. She's very educated in woman's issues and is always very clear with all the explanations and questions you might have. If you're looking for true professionalism, a gentle touch, and personal experience, what are you waiting for? Call Rose!

This review is long over due…read more First and most importantly, I started seeing Rose in June of 2011 and by November 2011 I was pregnant. Before seeing Rose we had been trying to get pregnant for over a year and although we did get pregnant it was followed quickly by a devastating miscarriage . When I became pregnant again in November having Rose by my side was just the calming I needed, she is so knowledgeable and kind. I feel extremely blessed to have her as part of my "team." I am now 24 weeks pregnant with my first little boy and I couldn't feel happier and more grateful.

I trust her completely with my son, and even my older son loves her. When I tell him that Caitlin is coming, he exclaims, "Yay!!! Caitlin!" :) My husband is also getting a full 8 hours worth of sleep, and he asks me upon waking up: when is Caitlin coming for another night? If you're looking for rest during the day or night, call Caitlin. Personable, sweet, supportive, and loving, Caitlin is the best!

Caitlin was referred to me by a fellow doula and she was nothing short of amazing. We had planned…read moreto meet and discuss my birthing plan a few weeks before my expected due date but my baby girl decided to come early. Without meeting prior to the birth, Caitlin responded to our call in the middle of the night and drove from SF to Redwood City to assist us in the birthing process. She arrived ready and energetic while remaining calm and soothing. She listened to me and addressed all my needs and became a liaison between my family and the hospital staff. We were very grateful for her presence. Caitlin also offered to keep and freeze my placenta for encapsulation. At the hospital, Caitlin was also a lifesaver by installing our car seat! After the birth, Caitlin followed up with us and helped us for the first few weeks at home with the baby. From teaching me about infant carriers and breast pumps to discussing how the body recovers after birth, Caitlin was an expert. You can tell that this is her passion. I thank Caitlin for being an amazing doula and an overall wonderful person to have during this new chapter in our lives. My family is the most important thing to me and I trust Caitlin with my precision baby girl! Thank you so much Caitlin!

I have known Erica Matluck for a while. Years ago, I used to get amazing massages from her when I…read morelived in the Bay Area. Now that she is an accomplished Naturopathic Physician, I decided to go see her the last time I was in SF. I had been suffering from massive allergies, digestive problems and insomnia. Then suddenly, my hair started falling out and I was developing rashes on my face. It was frightening, to say the least. Although, before I went to Dr. Matluck, I had sought out a random ND in Southern California who was unable to help my condition after I had spent nearly $1000 out of pocket. So, with pressure from my Mother, I decided to turn to a conventional MD specialist after nearly a year of struggling with the condition and trying alternative treatments. However, my condition puzzled that specialist, as well, and after spending hundreds of dollars he failed to relieve my condition and I was left feeling totally defeated. Finally, when I was in SF a few months ago I decided to give Dr. Matluck a call. She ran every test on me including a stool sample. She was the first doctor who was confident she could heal me, which felt like such a relief. She nailed the source of my condition, and treated me accordingly. I noticed my hair loss ceasing almost immediately followed by my rash clearing up! My food allergies were diagnosed and I now have more energy than I have had in years. Dr. Matluck is smart, confident in her treatments and I highly recommend her. I am just grateful I have her to turn to from now on.

Erica was the best thing that could have happened to me. Last October, I became very sick with…read moremystery illnesses that lasted 10 months. I became so weak that I could barely work, eat or stand up for more than an hour at a time. I started developing numerous infections, each of which triggered another infection or illness. Everyone around me was very worried for my life. Not to discount western medicine, but the western med doctors I saw only attempted to treat each individual ailment, rather than looking at my body holistically and finding the underlying cause. I was extremely blessed to have found Erica. Erica, being trained in both western and alternative medicine, patiently worked with me for months to help alleviate my symptoms while finding the root cause of my rapid decline in health. If Erica did not know an answer, she admitted it, and she would do homework on her own to find the answer. She spoke to specialists and colleages to try and learn as much as she could for me. She was really a warrior for my health, and I truly believe she saved my life. At the end of it all, we discovered that my body was shutting down due to a severe presence of toxic mold in my apartment. If it weren't for Erica's dedication and tenacity in finding the underlying cause/culprit of my illness, I would have never figured out the reason (toxic mold) and who knows what could have happened to me. Where other doctors would have probably given up on me or just treat me with prescriptions, Erica fought for me... and we came out on top. I am eternally grateful for Erica. She is the type of doctor that changes peoples lives, and in turn makes this world a better place. Thank you, Erica!

I am SO grateful I had Eve as my birth doula and acupuncturist! She has the most calming presence…read moreand was an incredible advocate for me during my birth, while working well with the medical staff at the hospital. Her prenatal acupuncture sessions helped me sleep sooo well during the weeks leading up to my birth, which was no easy feat in the third tri. Even though we went through the birthing class through my hospital, Eve's pre-birth sessions offered so much more insight and helped us understand all the options for our birth plan. Would recommend Eve to anyone looking for a birth doula and truly could not have imagined my birth without her!

My mother has a heart condition and was taking fifteen prescribed medications. After getting through COVID, her strength and energy just weren't the same. We turned to Dr. Laura, who created a customized program and recommended natural supplements. Little by little, my mom improved -- and now she's on just five medications and feeling strong, active, and ready to celebrate her 90th birthday this month! My family's trust in Dr. Laura runs deep. Every time something comes up, my mom says, "Lo, please ask Dr. Laura what supplement I can take for this!" But that's not all. My daughter-in-law had been trying to conceive for years. I encouraged her to see Dr. Laura, and two months later, she and my son showed up with a tiny baby T-shirt -- their way of telling me she was pregnant! I cried tears of joy. Today, our beautiful grandbaby is five years old. Dr. Laura doesn't just treat symptoms -- she restores faith, hope, and balance. Her care has been life-changing for three generations of my family. I can't thank her enough. If you're looking for someone genuine, intuitive, and deeply knowledgeable, please go see Dr. Laura. She's one in a million.

Taylor was recommended to us by our friend as well as various Facebook groups. She was super…read morehelpful for the birth of our son at ucsf. The one thing my husband and I loved most about her was her high eq and the ability to read the couple and situation. She was kind and nurturing and always had an answer to support any questions we had. She frequently checked in even when she was on vacation to make sure we were supported. I was also very appreciative of her not being pushy when it came to specific parts of the birth that I had envisioned. She encouraged us to think more holistically about the whole process when we were in the weeds. She helped me through hours of painful contractions which was well worth the money itself but most importantly, she helped my husband through the whole night and supporting him emotionally as he was navigating how to make the best decisions for us as a family. Overall I spent weeks agonizing if I needed a doula for the process and we are so glad we decided on one and that it was Taylor. I'd highly recommend her to our close friends and family should the time come for them as well!

Taylor is simply the best and my wife and I can't recommend her enough…read more We hired Taylor to help us with the birth of our first daughter in December 2022. My wife wanted to try for an unmedicated birth so we thought having the help of a doula would be a good idea. Now on the other side of things we can confidently say that we could not have done it without Taylor. She provided us with amazing support through the several months leading up to birth, a 30 hour labor, and post-partum life. What we loved about Taylor: - Probably the best listener we have ever met - she really worked hard to understand what our goals were and how she could best support them. She always took the time to listen to us intently. - Very knowledgeable about pregnancy, labor, and post-partum life - Taylor is such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to both traditional medicine and holistic medicine. She was able to answer so many of our questions across so many different areas. She shined at helping us understand the pros & cons of various decisions we had to make or decisions that we anticipated we might have to make. We really trusted her judgement by the time labor came around given how much experience she has and how deeply she understands pregnancy & labor. - Never pushes recommendations - Taylor never pushed recommendations or advice on us unless we specifically asked what she thought we should do. We loved this about her. She simply presents the facts and what she's seen in her experience and helps guide you to the decision that you want to make. This approach was refreshing and helped us build so much trust in her. - Willing to help at any time - even after our time with Taylor was over, she took the time to answer calls & texts from us as we were adjusting to new parent life. - Amazing endurance - during my wife's 30 hour labor Taylor helped me provide counter-pressure to my wife, kept her spirits high, had great comfort measure suggestions, and subbed in when I needed a quick break. Having Taylor with us during labor helped my wife achieve her goal of having a fully unmedicated labor. - Kindness - Taylor is one of the kindest people we know. She brought us awesome treats & thoughtful things throughout the entire time we worked with her. Overall we had the best experience with Taylor. If you are looking for a doula I would highly recommend talking to Taylor and you will quickly see why so many people have great experiences with her. If you see this Taylor, thank you again and you're the best!
