About Me

Hi, I'm Sophia Seidensticker! I'm a DONA Certified Birth Doula serving the Greater Sacramento area, and I'm also a nursing student working toward becoming a Certified Nurse Midwife. I'm deeply passionate about reproductive health and continually inspired by what the body can do during pregnancy and childbirth. This work is truly my calling.

I trained with DONA to become a birth doula so that I could support birthing people in having positive birth experiences through both physical and emotional support.

Practice Philosophy

I believe birth is a natural process, and I'm endlessly fascinated and inspired by what the body can accomplish when birthing people feel safe and supported. That belief is at the center of everything I do.

I provide emotional, physical, and informational support so that you feel empowered to make informed decisions about your health and maintain your bodily autonomy throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

Overall, my goal is for you to feel safe, supported, and confident, able to trust your body and your choices, and to walk away with a positive birth experience that's truly your own.
