Here is what a client named Marina has to say about working with Julia:

Julia was a huge help for us since LO’s first week until he was four and a half months old. We relied on Julia’s delicious and healthy cooking and learned things like how to give LO the first bath, how to baby wear properly, effective nursing positions etc. from her.

We also used the time Julia visited to rest and recharge and definitely she was our emotional support!

Julia was always reliable and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend Julia to my friends in the area.

Here is what a client named Sarah S. has to say about working with Mirai:

Mirai was exactly what I had hoped for in a doula. She was able to prepare my husband and I leading up to the birth by sharing information in ways that spoke to our differing learning styles so that we were ready for all possibilities. I was super thankful for this preparation because my birth turned out the opposite of what I had originally planned due to health issues. Despite those changes, Mirai was there through it all. A calm voice in the chaos, and a strong hand to hold. The birth was a whirlwind but some of my most vivid memories are Mirai being that steady presence, calming me and guiding me through it all. Everyone came out of the birth healthy, and I believe Mirai is one of the main reasons that we did so.

Here is what a client named Anna Maier Rogers has to say about working with Alla:

I came to the doula search process quite late in my pregnancy, and Alla saved the day! My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with her. After attending a birthing class while I was approximately 8 months pregnant, we realized that we would benefit from the support of a doula since we don't have many family members nearby. We found Alla's profile on this website and were able to get in touch with her right away. She was very responsive and non-judgmental. I gave birth at UCSF Mission Bay. I appreciate that Alla is open to supporting a range of birth plans and scenarios. She helped to prepare me for the process of labor and delivery in a hospital setting. She put me in touch with an excellent acupuncturist when I went past my due date. She also introduced me to Natural Resources which has provided invaluable breast feeding support.

While in the hospital Alla's presence was soothing and empowering. She provided me with a tens unit which really helped with pain management and suggested different positions and methods for natural pain relief. She also reminded me of my personal agency while in labor and made it clear that her role was to support my decisions rather than making any decisions on my behalf. This included advocating on my behalf if any issues arose with the hospital staff.

Alla is a talented photographer and took pictures during the birth which I will treasure. We've kept in touch during the post-partum period as well. I whole heartedly recommend her as a doula and am so glad she was by my side during this special time in my life.
