I am delighted to provide my strongest review for Kamill. Kamill was my night doula for nearly six…read moremonths of my child's life. She stepped into a very tricky social situation with tremendous grace, compassion, competency and empathy. She is an absolutely outstanding doula and any family would be lucky to work with her. Firstly, she was incredibly thoughtful in her approach and seamlessly was able to build confidence in myself and my family with regards to practical aspects of caring for my newborn, including infant feeding via breast-feeding and bottle feeding, encouraging a proper and appropriate schedule for my newborn, understanding how to properly store all formula and other equipment for the baby, and understanding babies' needs. She also spent time teaching my family other basics, including swaddling and daytime activities. She has a very deep understanding of infant physical and psychological development of newborns, as well as their social cues. Because of this mastery, we all felt very comfortable leaving my daughter in her hands over night and even during the day when we had other tasks to complete. We always knew she was extremely experienced and competent at the job. Kamill had an additional challenge of supporting me as a new mother who was simultaneously experiencing grief. She was able to jump in during moments of grieving and to provide assistance and nurturing support, not just for me but also my mother and other family members. Early on, she recognized my passion for art and would spend time with me completing various art projects that would aid in the grieving process. While this is not traditionally part of a doula's main tasks, she was able to see the bigger picture and recognized the need to provide holistic support to my family outside of the typical tasks of a doula. Essentially, she provided absolutely outstanding, holistic care for my daughter AND my entire family - well beyond the traditional role of a doula. Additionally, in her role as a Doula, she is extremely organized, on top of newborn care, and disciplined. She works very hard to ensure that a baby's needs are immaculately met. She was also able to ensure that my daughters' feeding and sleeping schedule were beautifully regulated which has had broad and long-term benefits - even today. She tried to organize and arrange my baby's supplies nicely and also gave us advice and suggestions as baby grew each month and positive suggestions to make beautiful, joyful memories. In the morning, when we awoke I could depend on her to ensure the house was immaculately kept and she even went above and beyond to make sure basic tasks such as dishes and baby laundry were taken care of. She is truly one of the most reliable, determined, and hard working doulas and people I have ever met. In sum, I highly recommend Kamill as a night doula or regular doula. She is absolutely fantastic and a star in her field.

If you're an anxious mom to be, Anna is your gal. When looking for a doula, it was super important…read morethat I worked with someone who was trauma informed, and who had a very calming grounding energy. Anna was all of that and more! I felt prepared and supported leading up to the birth, even despite complications that were super stressful. She has a direct but extremely warm style, and can help pull you out of your head if you start spinning in a stress cycle. Having her at our birth with all of the prep of getting to know her helped me feel supported and calmer going into this, knowing that I had an advocate and a support system there during our daughters birth. She help us navigate difficult conversations with our doctor and reminded us of our autonomy in our decsion making. She's not afraid to assert herself when she needed to, both in telling my anxious husband to take a nap and rest and in helping us communicate our needs during the chaos of the birthing experience. If we have a second baby, we will 100% be looking to work with Anna again. I can't recommend her enough!

I hired Anna after my doula from my first birth was unavailable. There are not enough words to…read moredescribe how cared for, safe and secure I felt with her before, during and after my birth. Right away she took time to hear our birth story from our first birth and talk about big and small changes we wanted to make this time around. She even took the time during our consults to get to know our first son and include him in the converstation (He LOVES her btw). I had a difficult time with my pregnancy during my last trimester and she went out of her way to check in on me and my family to see if we needed additional information and support. When the time came she arrived quickly and even reminded my husband to eat some food. She helped calm me through my early contractions and stepped up with awesome hip squeezes when transition began. She stayed long after the birth to help the midwives and my family settle in before quietly slipping out so we could rest. My husband and I are beyond happy with her services and dedication to my birth. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

From the very first night we brought our newborn daughter home from the hospital, Sannaz has been…read morean absolutely pivotal member of our care team. From helping us devise a feeding strategy to help our daughter get back to birth weight quickly, to recommending services, consultants in her network, and resources for us to learn from; she has been an absolute fount of knowledge and experience. And as first time parents, she was also patient and reassuring, assuaging concerns and helping us navigate the overwhelming amount of information and advice (useful or otherwise) that comes with being a parent in 2025. Obviously her work supporting us at night was exceptional, helping us get the rest we needed to recuperate and adjust to the new normal. But I feel her true lasting impression will be the sense of confidence she instilled in both us to navigate the only constant in parenthood: change. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional doula; she truly helped our daughter get the absolute best start!

We wanted a doula for a few reasons: 1) we were determined to have a natural labor with minimal…read moreinterventions 2) we wanted a familiar face present through our birth experience (hospital staff would only be whoever's on call) and 3) to have someone familiar with modern L&D practices in our corner. We were referred to Sannaz by a close friend and found value in our personal connection and her birth experience. Sannaz brought calm and wisdom during our labor, which helped us achieve our goals and have a positive birth experience. She brought valuable insight and was available to explain and answer our questions in labor and delivery, which helped us stay on track with our birth plan and gave us the confidence in the decisions we had to make in the hospital. I appreciate how well the three of us worked together through the labor and delivery; we were such a great team! Thank you so much!

Ottilia and Cody make a great team. They are alike in that they both are warm-hearted, competent…read moreand approachable. The ways in which they are different is really what makes this a strong program. They each come from a unique professional background, and that coupled with their unique struggles and triumphs as mothers themselves, is what makes their breadth of knowledge so expansive. I think for a lot of women, myself included, there seems to be an abundance of information out there relating to pregnancy and childbirth, but when you're really going through it, you want individualized answers to your questions that are sometimes hard to find online or in books. Like Ottilia, I'm also a Labor and Delivery nurse, and yet she taught me things during my pregnancy that I never knew. She was indispensable when it came to providing labor support when I had my daughter. She's an excellent listener and she's extremely intuitive- two qualities I find indispensable in this line of work. I really connected with Cody when it came to my breastfeeding journey. The thing about becoming a mom is that you have no idea what leg of the journey is going to give you the most trouble. When you actually reach this junction, you are too tired/overwhelmed/busy/etc to do any real research to guide your decision-making. Not only did Cody provide this, she also shared her experience with me and at the time I just really needed to hear from someone else who shared my experience. Apart from all of this, they both are just really cool people that you'd actually want to share this part of your life with.

I can't say enough good things about Ottilia! Although I didn't have the opportunity to experience…read moreher course with my first child I would definitely do so for my next one. I was so fortunate to have Ottilia as one of my nurses during my stay at Highland Hospital. I originally planned a home birth but my son was a bit too cozy, pushing us past the 42 week mark so I needed an emergency transfer for induction support. From the start Ottilia's care was like nothing I had ever experienced in a hospital. Not only did she radiate so much warmth, but she constantly checked in to make sure I was taken care of and that things were progressing well. She always took extra precautions to make sure that my son was in a good position and answered any of my concerns with honesty. As her shift was ending she even went out of her way to put us in the care of an amazing nurse who also had a background as a doula. My husband and I were both thrilled, however, when Ottilia was one of the nurses that was present for our son's delivery. I was in labor for a total of 40 hours and was pushing for four when I was finally dilated enough. Ottilia gave me so much encouragement, continuously sharing affirmations and empowering the birth through the end. I know that she advocated strongly for me throughout that whole process. Because my son was posterior and just had such a hard time coming out we needed to do a vacuum assist. Ottilia was right there giving me the strength I needed for that final push to meet my son! He wasn't breathing for the first six minutes, but God is good and I knew in my heart that he would pull through. When we finally heard his cry Ottilia looked at me and said, "Do you hear that? That's your son!" Aside from my dear husband, I can't imagine having anyone else by my side at that moment. She even spent the time after to show me how to manually express and get that precious colostrum my boy needed. We have so much love, respect, and adoration for Ottilia. Let's just say that if we have a girl, we'd name her after this incredible woman.

It has been several years since the birth of my child and I now reflect, after time has passed, on…read moremy memories with Angelika ... Angelika was very demeaning to me as a woman. She was so rude and curt that I walked out on her during a visit, never to return. I trust my intuition and do not take kindly to bullying from anyone, especially someone who I am trusting with something so intimate as birth. My sense is that Angelica is most interested in making money as a midwife than in creating a warm and trusting environment for those she serves. After leaving Angelica, I hired a much more caring midwife, who was less expensive and a doctor to boot. If I had it to do again, I would hire a Doula and ask a few friends to assist my birth before going to a Marin General or UCSF to have a natural birth. Both hospitals are very accommodating to women who wish to birth naturally.

Angelika is the most dedicated midwife that I have ever met. My partner, family and I had absolute…read moreconfidence that we were in the best possible care with Angelika. Angelika has the strongest medical background and has been at the most births of any midwife I have known in the US because she trained and worked in Germany for many years. In German hospitals the midwives, not the doctors are the ones who are present for all births. Angelika also offered a free parenting class (by donation) too connect with other families in her care and to teach us mindfulness/ meditation. Her class was far superior to the parenting class we spent hundreds of dollars to take. Angelika offered great compassion and medical skill at my birth. Angelika guided me through the most intense part of labor by helping me tap into what I had learned in the mindfulness practice. The birth of my baby was one of the most empowering and blissful days of my life and labor was only six hours long! The icing on the cake is her excellent postpartum care which surpasses any other midwife service in the area. Even after a near perfect birth, emotional jags and worries about the baby surfaced for me and Angelika was always available be phone and came by to visit regularly. Angelika is a blessing in our lives and has encouraged me to be a kinder, calmer and stronger woman. A good friend is someone who accepts you for who you are but a friend closest to the heart is one who encourages you to be the best person you can be. Angelika is my midwife and teacher and now, also a friend close to my heart.

I've worked closely with many doulas, and Tanya really stood out as proactive, sweet, responsive and a very comfortable person to talk with. She showed up on-time, kept herself quietly humming around taking care of things without even being asked -- such a wonderful thing because I was frazzled and exhausted, so being able to just rest and not have to ask for each little thing was sooo wonderful. A glass of water would appear, and I felt I could take a glorious nap with full trust she would take great care of the baby when I did. I'd wake up to a clean house (no chores left, yay!) and felt replenished emotionally too. I cannot recommend Tanya highly enough. In fact, I recommend her all the time!

She taught us about babywearing, the Wonder Weeks, and special Boon drying rack pieces - and on top of it all, was so kind and gentle with our son. If you're considering a postpartum doula, definitely reach out to Tanya. She's super responsive and completely worth the investment!
