Newborn Aid Doula
Your calm birth begins here. Bay Area doula care.
“Birth is not only about making babies. It’s about making mothers — strong, capable mothers who trust themselves and know their inner strength.”
Hi, I’m Jane!
I am a certified birth and postpartum doula and a lactation consultant, supporting families across the Bay Area. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practice, attentiveness, and respect for each family’s individuality. I believe birth is not just an event but a deep, transformative process where care, trust, and support are essential. Together, we will create an individualized birth plan and discuss everything that matters to you: how labor unfolds, options for comfort and pain relief, ways your partner can participate, what to expect in the hospital or at a home birth, and how to communicate with doctors and nurses. This preparation helps you feel confident and calm when the day comes to meet your baby. During labor, I help you find comfortable positions, use gentle touch and relaxation techniques, and create an atmosphere of calm, trust, and confidence. After birth, I remain available to help establish breastfeeding, support physical and emotional recovery, and find a sustainable rhythm with your newborn. I work with my backup doula, Daria—an experienced colleague with whom I share a unified approach and the same values. Having a backup doula gives you the assurance of continuous support and peace of mind.
