About Me

Hi, I'm Vivian! I'm a birth and postpartum doula serving families in the East Bay and San Francisco. I became a doula because I've seen how lonely and isolating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can feel, and I don't believe anyone should have to go through it alone or unsupported. It truly takes a village, and I'm here to be part of yours. This work is truly my calling.

I completed my labor, postpartum, and lactation training through MaternityWise, am trained with Hospital Friendly Doulas, and currently volunteer weekly as a birth doula at Alta Bates Sutter Health in Berkeley. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I proudly accept Medi-Cal and Kaiser insurance so that quality birth support is accessible to more families.

Practice Philosophy

My approach to doula care is rooted in calm, compassionate, and affirming support. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Your voice, your values, and your choices are always at the center of the care I provide.

I'm committed to advocating for you and supporting the birth experience you envision, whether that means a highly medical birth, an unmedicated birth, or something in between. There is no "right" way to give birth, only the way that feels right for you.

I also believe that emotional safety and a sense of grounding are essential to a positive birth experience. During our prenatal sessions, I take time to understand what helps you feel calm, supported, and confident. Together, we explore tools such as breathwork, movement, visualization, touch, and comfort measures, practicing them so they feel familiar and accessible, until they become part of our shared language during labor and birth.

Overall, my goal is to support you in a way that feels intuitive, connected, and deeply personalized, so you feel grounded, empowered, and never alone through every stage of your journey.
