Jenn is an incredible doula. We hired her to help us go through the birth of our first child, and…read moreare so glad we did! We hadn't planned our pregnancy and really knew nothing about childbirth. Jenn walked us through what to expect and fielded all of our questions with ease. She helped us to feel like we could go through the birthing process with knowledge and awe at the same time. The day of the birth Jenn was there from the start. Her constant encouragement enabled my wife to get through the roughest patches of labor and stay focused. She was also great in helping me support my wife through the labor process. The birth of our baby was a wonderful, amazing experience and Jenn played a large part in making that come to be. Highly recommended!!!

Jen was present for 2 of my births and was just the reassurance and firm but gentle presence I…read moreneeded. I was determined after having my first child that the next two times I would have a doula! Yay me for following through! I contacted Dolphin Doula & Yoga and chose Jen to be my doula. A doula is so much more than just a birth coach; a doula is a partner and sister to help you before, during and after. With my second child we danced during labor in the hospital. With my third, stuck in a diagonal breach position, Jen was there to help me meditate and relax while the doctor performed a "version", turning the baby from the outside to get the head down. Yes, baby stayed head down and was delivered in the next few days! Whew!

I highly recommend Munira to any family looking for a loving doula in the early days with a new…read morebaby. She was our night doula three times a week for our daughter's first 8 weeks, and she made an even bigger difference than we expected. As first-time parents, we were in the dark about a lot. She taught my husband and me so many things: swaddling, feeding, working through gas to avoid colic, baths, bedtime routines, and so much more. She did everything with patience and kind reassurance. She also helped lay the groundwork for good sleep from Day 1, which was extremely important to us. By six weeks, our newborn was sleeping 6-7 hours consistently. I truly value how much she helped me. She supported me with breastfeeding, improving my milk supply, and my own recovery, and she pitched in with baby laundry and getting us organized, which took a lot off our plates. On her nights I actually slept, and over time I built more confidence in my own capabilities. She's the main reason I have felt calm instead of anxious through this huge life change. She's warm, non-judgmental, and deeply knowledgeable. She fit naturally into our home and felt like family right away. We are going to miss her a lot. I feel incredibly lucky to have had her and will never forget the impact she has had in such a short time. 5 stars doesn't come close.

Had my first in-home prenatal massage with Kaelyn and couldn't be happier with my experience…read more Kaelyn was very kind and created a relaxing environment in my home (amongst the chaos of my embarrassing nesting mess ). Now that I've experienced it, the ability to have an in-home option for a massage, especially being 35 weeks pregnant, is invaluable to me! Kaelyn was very caring and hit a lot of spots for me that I didn't even realize was giving me discomfort. Couldn't thank her more for that! I'm so glad I opted to buy a series of massages to get me through the homestretch of this pregnancy and I already intend to purchase more as well as book some for my husband. Highly recommend and can't wait for my next massage!

Sheila and Marji did a wonderful job. I asked for help to support me during my delivery, I was…read moreworried about being pushed into procedures and medications by the hospital. They stayed by my side the ENTIRE TIME I needed them. They helped me after 12 hours of labor decide the best corse for my delivery and I felt informed and not pushed. They helped me on my weak points by encouraging me and answering my questions when I needed it. I am so glad I wasn't alone with hospital staff and my loving husband. If your thinking about a doula and need your questions answered please call her. Both her and Marji are incredibly welcoming. You may be able to do it without help, but a strong hug and beautiful words of a supportive woman is honestly what EVERY woman delivering a baby should be entitled to and mandatory. Postpartum checkup allowed for some ahha moments that really helped us thrive. For some the price is a drop in the bucket, for some it's an investment. You genuinely will remember this moment a lifetime.

Wow what an awesome doula! I initially hired Sheila in hopes that she could help me along with my…read moreplan for a VBAC. Well... baby decided that she was going to stay breech so I was forced to schedule a repeat c-section. Throughout the whole pregnancy Sheila was so supportive, always checking in to see how I was doing. When we found out baby was breech she also was able to provide recommendations for a holistic approach to turn baby. Sheila was an amazing postpartum Doula. I have to admit my husband was a little apprehensive about the idea of a postpartum doula but, the morning she left he was asking when she could come back. If I could've afforded to have Sheila here every night for the first week I would have. Having Sheila was an essential piece of my recovery and she was an amazing resource for baby well. Although I am a veteran to breastfeeding I couldn't figure out why baby's latch was painful, Sheila was able to see something wasn't right and made a call to a lactation consultant. Baby was diagnosed with a tongue tie ( mind you I had seen 3 lactation consultants who had missed it ). Sheila genuinely cares about her moms and babies, and she loves what she does. Even weeks after having baby she still checks in periodically. I am so happy that I had the pleasure of working with her. Thank you for all your help Sheila!

I am disappointed to write that I was ghosted by this company during a very sensitive period in my…read morelife. My husband and I are new residents to California and I am currently pregnant with our first child. We have no family in the area. I had a phone consult scheduled with the owner, Ms. Michele, on January 5th, 2026. She called me on time and we both mutually agreed to move forward with the on-boarding process for doula services for my pregnancy. She requested that I call my insurance company and gather the information for her in an email. I did this, and sent her an email the following night, on January 6th. I didn't hear anything from her, so I sent a text message to both her work and personal cell phone number on January 9th. No response. At this point, I am 37 weeks, and anxious to move things along for doula services. The weekend and Monday goes by, and I still have not received a reply. I decide, as a last attempt, to call her. I called both her work and personal cell phone and left a voicemail on each line on Tuesday, January 13th. Nothing. Shame on the owner, Ms. Michele, for stating that she will move the process forward and said she will have a doula for me for my birth. She lied. She disclosed to me during our consult that she is a mother herself and had over twenty years of experience working as a L&D nurse. This provided me great relief and happiness, only for it to be crushed when she never replied to my messages. How can someone with this sort of background make a promise and then not follow through? Ms. Michele should be ashamed of herself not only on a professional level, but also on a personal level. This seems to be a wider issue with the Doula profession as I was ghosted by another local Sacramento doula company as well as the Volunteer Doula Coordinator at Mercy Hospital of Folsom. I believe doulas are a valuable asset to a woman's birth experience, however, I will not be wasting my time anymore trying to arrange one for my pregnancy.

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about our doula, Cristina. Meeting her honestly felt like…read moreit was meant to happen. Before giving birth, we had been looking for a doula but were worried we wouldn't find the right person because Kaiser didn't have a large variety of doulas available. While we were at Kaiser for our hospital tour, we happened to meet Cristina in the waiting room. She started sharing her own birth experience with us and explaining what a doula does not only during labor, but throughout pregnancy and even after you bring your baby home. From that first conversation, we immediately felt comfortable with her and knew there was something special about her. Cristina became such an important part of our birth experience. Before labor, she helped us understand and put together our birth plan, showed us different stretches and techniques to prepare for labor, and connected us with resources available through Kaiser, including meal programs and information about breast pumps. When labor finally came, Cristina truly showed us how dedicated she is. We left our house around 2:00 a.m. because the contractions had become much stronger. When we arrived at the hospital, I was already 8 cm dilated. We immediately called Cristina, and even though it was around 3:00 in the morning, she was at the hospital within about 10 minutes, ready to support us. She stayed right by our side through everything. She helped with breathing techniques, pushing, positioning, and keeping us calm and comfortable during an extremely intense experience. She made sure the nurses understood our birth plan and advocated for everything that was important to us. We wanted a completely natural birth, had specific wishes regarding which vaccinations we wanted for our son, wanted delayed cord clamping, and did not want the vernix immediately wiped off our baby. Cristina made sure our voices were heard and our wishes were understood and respected. But what makes Cristina so special to us goes far beyond everything she did as our doula. Somewhere along this journey, she stopped feeling like just our doula and became family. We love and appreciate Cristina more than we could ever put into words. She was there for us during one of the biggest, most emotional, and most important moments of our lives. The love, care, support, and dedication she showed our family is something we will never forget. Our son, Atticus, now has an amazing Tía Cristina, and that is exactly how we see her as family. We feel incredibly blessed that a simple, unexpected conversation in a Kaiser waiting room brought someone into our lives who would become such an important part of our family's story. Cristina, thank you for being there for us, for advocating for us, for comforting us, for supporting us, and most importantly, for loving and caring for our family. You didn't just help us welcome our son into this world you became part of his life and part of our family. We couldn't recommend Cristina enough. If you're looking for someone who will truly care about you and your family, stand beside you through every moment, and treat your birth experience as something just as important to her as it is to you, Cristina is that person. We love you, Tía Cristina, and we will forever be grateful that life brought you into our family's lives. With love and appreciation, Juan, Mariela & Atticus

I'm a first time mommy & my experience with Cristina was absolutely AMAZING! Literally a thousand…read moreout of ten! I found Cristina because I was in search of Placenta Encapsulation. Then, I seen stuff about Doula which mind you, I had no idea what it meant. I started reading what a Doula was & I said to myself. Let me give her a call so I did. Just by speaking with her she gave me peace & loved her already without even knowing her. She explained everything to me and I just felt it in my heart that she had to be my Doula & Placenta Encapsulation person. I can't put into words of how thankful & blessed I feel with her! God literally placed her on my path because without her I don't know what I would've done! From being pregnant, birth and after birth she was there! She always checked up on me through phone calls/txts, always giving me advice. Always made me feel heard. She even created a beautiful template birth plan for me. Exactly what I had told her! & during labor, ohhh sheee definitely made sure it was followed! During labor she was there for me 24/7 never left my side. She did absolutely everything in her hands that she could for me to be as comfortable and as peaceful as I can. She did counter pressure/massages during every contraction. She even brought me a comb to squeeze! & trust me that thing helps during those contractions! & Guess what she also brought! A Fiber Optic Star Ceiling & Relaxing Aromatherapy Diffuser(: I LOVED IT! She changed me into all the positions you can think of and made sure I was okay with them and comfortable. She even asked the nurses/drs for some tools that I can use that I didn't even know existed. For Ex: Cubs Seat, that thing was amazing! It was super comfortable! I can literally keep going lol All I can say is, I am so happy I followed my gut/heart/intuition! If I ever get pregnant again she will FOREVER & ALWAYS BE MY ONE AND ONLY DOULA AND PLACENTA ENCAPSULATION GIRLY THANK YOU SO MUCH CRISTINA FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID FOR ME I WILL FOREVER CHOOSE YOU
