In the Family Way Doula Services
Every family's story is unique. Mine began with a calling to support mothers and families through every twist and turn of pregnancy and new parenthood. Years before I launched In the Family Way Doula Services, I watched my sister's journey with her second baby. I saw the worry and the wonder—especially after a tricky hospital birth—and wished she had someone with her during the birth that could have truly understood her fears. I wanted to give other families what she needed: caring, culturally respectful guidance, steady hands, and a listening ear.
Now I walk alongside families across Sacramento's diverse communities, supporting natural births in hospitals, cesarean journeys, precious home births, and tender NICU days. Certified in birth and postpartum doula care and lactation consulting, I offer personalized support for each family's needs—love and real information. Every mom, every baby, and every birth story is held with care and respect. This is community; this is your village.

What Is a Doula?
A doula is a trained care professional who provides physical, emotional, and informational support to individuals and families throughout the perinatal period, which includes pregnancy, childbirth, and the early postpartum phase.
Doulas collaborate with medical teams during labor but are dedicated to the needs of the birthing person.
Doulas offer a range of services, such as helping clients develop birth plans, providing comfort measures during labor, and assisting with postpartum recovery, including newborn care and emotional well-being.

Stories From Families
“My experience was incredible. She provided snacks, emotional support, and helpful comfort measures like positioning and counter pressure that truly helped me get through labor. She also helped me make informed decisions that felt right for me throughout the process. She was fantastic, and I feel so lucky to have found her for my labor. I would recommend her time and time again.”
