About Me

Hello Friends! My name is Ludivine, but everyone calls me Lulu ☀️

I’m a birth and postpartum doula offering holistic, compassionate support through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Originally from Paris, I’ve called the Bay Area home for many years, where I raised my two children and built a life grounded in nature, mindfulness and centered around wellness and genuine connections. My journey into this work began through my own very different — but equally transformative — birth experiences, as well as getting the privilege to support two close friends through that same threshold into parenthood. This is how the passion for birth work and supporting families during such an important transition and sacred passage, took roots and continues to grow every day.

As a doula, my goal is to help you grow confident in your ability to birth and become a parent — making sure that you feel heard and cared for at all times. I listen to you deeply, help you release your fears and guide you throughout this entire journey, ensuring that you walk serenely into every stage, embracing your inner strength, feeling held, equipped and empowered every step of the way 😊

When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll usually find me hiking, paddle boarding, tending to my balcony garden, cooking for loved ones, or spending time in nature. I love sharing good foods and good times with friends and family.

I strive to bring a calm, grounded presence to the birth space while honoring your unique needs, values, and vision for your experience. Whether you’re looking for guidance, reassurance, advocacy, or simply a steady and compassionate presence, I’m here to support you. The care I offer is deeply informed by my Buddhist practice and general mindful approach to life.

I’ve worked in a variety of settings and have volunteered for over a year now as a doula at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center, where I’ve loved supporting families from many different backgrounds and communities. At my core, I’m simply someone who sincerely cares about people and feels honored to support families through one of life’s most meaningful experiences. I come to this work with an open heart 💗 and an open mind, and I welcome families from all horizons ✨
