I'm Katie Sullivan, M.Ed, CPPD, a parenting and sleep consultant, an early childhood professional, a certified postpartum doula, a Montessori educator, and a mother of two. I have studied and worked with young children and families for nearly 20 years, with a special love and appreciation for the infant and toddler stages. My area of expertise is providing families with individualized practical recommendations and sleep/parenting plans. I am passionate about setting up good sleep habits from birth, serving as a resource for new parents, and troubleshooting tricky situations from zero to three.

I am currently a postpartum doula and newborn care and sleep specialist with a desire to support, educate, and empower new parents to have the postpartum experience they desire.

Hi I’m Jay, and my journey as a doula began when I was just 14 years old. I supported a pregnant friend daily after school, and later, I took on a caregiving role for my newborn sister when my mom had to leave for work on weekends. From Friday night to Monday morning, it was just me, my baby sister, and my other younger sibling. These early experiences gave me a deep respect for birthing people and the incredible strength it takes to navigate parenthood. Before officially becoming a certified doula, I worked as an infant-toddler teacher, where I naturally stepped into a supportive role for postpartum families. Through these connections, I began unofficially offering doula services, providing care and guidance during a transformative time in their lives. Today, as a doula, herbalist, and yoga practitioner, I bring a lifetime of experience and passion to my work. My goal is to make care accessible to everyone, creating spaces where families feel empowered, supported, and nurtured. Whether it’s through personalized doula services, custom herbal blends, or prenatal yoga, I am honored to walk alongside families on their journey. Let’s work together to create a plan that meets your unique needs and ensures you feel cared for every step of the way.

Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce myself to you and share a little about what I do! My name is Kirsten Junghans and I am a DTI full spectrum doula, sleep trainer and postpartum chef. I serve the San Francisco Bay Area. I'm a single mother to an 11 year old kiddo named Ivy. As a doula my job is to make sure you know that your curiosities, concerns and questions are valid. The need to be reassured and supported are normal and valid as well. I am an advocate for all birthing individuals. With that being said, it is my responsibility and honor to comfort and support you in labor. I will tirelessly advocate for you to have the birth you want, to answer your questions and to explain what is happening. However, I will not be taking away your power by making every decision for you. This is your body, your birth and your baby. My job as your advocate and support person is to make sure you are informed of all your options, so that you don't ever lose your rights to bodily autonomy when you walk into the hospital. As your advocate I will do my utmost to support you and your choices while explaining your options to you. You are still in control, and that is very important to me! As a postpartum doula, I never overlook the importance of following up with you after your baby's birth. I will support you in the days, weeks or even months afterward. There are many types of support I offer including, feeding support, emotional support, helping you find a rhythm, preparing meals, and holding the baby so you can sleep. Everything I do is done to empower you and help you feel confident in your new role. The most important thing I do during the postpartum period is encourage you to rest and bond with your new baby. The weeks after birth are an immensely beautiful and emotional time. This is not the time to worry about cleaning and jumping back into your normal life. It's time to rest and get to know the child you've waited so long to meet!

I am Camila, founder of Sweet Tangerine Newborn Care. I am originally from Brazil and first moved to the U. S. as an Au Pair, but my story as a caregiver didn't start there. I've been working with children since 2011 when I started teaching preschool. Since then, I have always been involved in the area of education and child care. When I moved to San Francisco, I also had the opportunity to work as a nanny taking care of infants and toddlers. Being around babies and kids, and teaching them to develop and become amazing humans is a big part of me. I have dedicated myself to learning more and specializing in newborn care, which is the area that I love the most, especially now that I became a mom myself. Additional to my vast experience, I have a Master's degree in education science and many complementary courses in the area, such as Newborn Care Specialist, CPR, and first AID.

I know how hard it is to find high quality care. I've worked with children professionally for 20 years across all ages. I have a degree in Child Development and all of my coursework completed toward a master's in Child Development. I'm CPR/First aid certified. Please let me know if you have further questions. I look forward to hearing from you. :-) Mandy
