What happens after birth?
Welcome! I’m Dana, a Birth and Postpartum Doula serving mothers in the Tri-Valley and surrounding communities of the Bay Area.
What happens after birth often takes women by surprise. Most of us are left without adequate support or guidance during this transition. The postpartum time can feel raw, open, vulnerable; yet if we listen closely, these feelings can guide the mother to her intuition. This is why I created The Afterbirth, to prepare and hold women on a deeper level, physically, emotionally and spiritually. We are not meant to walk such paths totally unprepared or unsupported.
My goal is to bring mother-centered care back to the women in our community. I celebrate and honor that you are strong, wise, capable - AND - that your needs matter, and you deserve tender loving care. You will find my approach to be holistic, feminine and considerate of you and your unique needs. I will bring the solidarity of a sister along with the wisdom and warmth of a woman who has walked a similar path before. Learn more about me here.
Personalized support for your transition into motherhood, whether it’s your first time or you have walked this path before.
