Aline DeCarvalho Franca

Full Spectrum Doula

About Me

Hi, I'm Aline! I'm a Brazilian birth doula based in California, offering gentle, continuous support through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Supporting families through this transformative time is truly my calling.

I support families with care, presence, and guidance, so they feel safe, informed, and held every step of the way. My goal is to help you feel supported and at ease as you welcome your little one.

Practice Philosophy

My philosophy is rooted in seeing birth as a sacred moment for mom, baby, and family, a moment when the body's physiology should be respected, with intervention used only when it's truly needed. That's why I provide strong prenatal education for expecting mothers and their partners, spending many hours exploring the benefits of physiological birth, the realities and consequences of interventions, and any personal fears. This is the core of my support, so you can arrive at your birth strong, informed, and ready to make decisions consciously.

During birth, I draw on aromatherapy, massage, rebozo, and steady emotional support to help you navigate the experience as smoothly as possible.

In the postpartum period, my focus turns to your well-being, making sure you feel mentally well, supported by your partner, adjusting to the many changes, and feeding comfortably. Overall, my goal is to help you feel respected, informed, and supported every step of the way.
