Our DOULA Team

All birth professionals who work with Redwood Doulas have been hand-picked for their combination of skill-set, heart, and professionalism. Since no two families are alike, our diverse group of birth professionals support ALL families.

After your initial consultation with Kymberlie, the owner and CEO of Redwood Doulas, you will be matched up with one to two doulas and scheduled for a Zoom interview to meet them before you decide which one is best for your family.

All birth professionals who work with Redwood Doulas are Independent Contractors and work directly with clients to schedule prenatal meetings, and postpartum and birth support. Redwood Doulas connects families and doulas, handles the contract and financial side of support, and checks in with clients regularly to see how their support and parenting journey is going.

Every birth professional on our team is:

CPR Certified
Trained by a top Doula Training Organization
Professional Insurance
Background Check Verified

With so much unexpected when it comes to babies, knowing that you have support you can count on shouldn't be something you worry about. Redwood Doulas offers the opportunity for more extensive support (24 hrs & live-in), the ability to extend contracts as needed, and a built in back-up system so you are never without support when you need it most.

YOUR DOULA TEAM

Tess

Birth & Postpartum Doula

I aim to provide compassionate, evidence-based care that activates families' power to make informed choices about their reproductive health and experiences.

MEET TESS

As a doula, I strive to provide nonjudgmental, inclusive care that honors and respects the unique needs and experiences of each individual. My values of anti-capitalism, mutual aid, and community care inform my approach to doula work, and I prioritize building relationships of trust and collaboration with my clients.

I received my doula certification from Cornerstone Doula Trainings in 2020, while studying at Mills College. In spring 2022, I graduated with a BS in Biology and a BA in Public Health & Health Equity. I left my job as a preschool teacher to fulfill my longtime dream of working as a doula and was honored to also accept a part-time position at Birthing Cultural Rigor, LLC, a perinatal quality improvement firm fighting to end obstetric racism.

My background has led me to appreciate both the medical and the natural. I provide my clients with the latest evidence and science-backed explanations while holding space for our bodies to work their magic. I love to share the knowledge I’ve gained through my years as a birth and child development nerd.

My doula practice is firmly and unapologetically queer- and trans-inclusive, anti-racist, pro-informed consent, pro-autonomy, and pro-choice. I am constantly learning and welcome all opportunities to further educate myself.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my nesting partner and our two cats, honoring my body through dance and swimming, watching documentaries and reality TV, and building community. I am grateful for the opportunity to support others on their journeys and hope to meet you soon!

Maria

Birth Doula, Placenta Encapsulator

My personal philosophy is to empower families with love, knowledge, and respect so that they can choose the best way forward in relation to childbirth, postpartum and newborn care.

MEET MARIA

I am a very empathetic and caring person and I believe these characteristics add up to my role as a Doula. I have been working as a childcare provider for over 11 years and love my work as a Doula. I like to incorporate notions of nutrition and natural medicines, such as aromatherapy in my role as a Doula, always respecting the wishes of my clients. No judgments, no pressure. We are on this journey together.

Ana

Birth & Postpartum Doula

I support families to feel empowered in every physical and emotional aspect of this new journey.

MEET BRIANNA

Thais

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist & Breastfeeding Educator

I am dedicated to supporting families during the special moment of welcoming a new baby into their lives.

MEET THAIS

Having a background in childcare and infant care, I have spent many years helping people in this remarkable phase of life which led me to my true passion. I know the value of family and as many in the Bay Area, I live far from my roots and I understand how essential it is to have someone there during this family transition.

I’m a caring, respectful, knowledgeable, calm, and kind person. I will be there for you through it all without any judgments, and I will always respect your individuality. I will strive to do my best to meet all of your expectations. I’m thankful that my path has finally brought me to living out my dream, of being a Doula. I come from a place of love with everything I do, and I cannot wait to meet your growing family.

Lauren

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Herbalist

My focus is to attend your birth in ways that support your full expression, facilitating conscious choice, knowing that each has their own journey and truly, your body knows best.

MEET LAUREN

My focus is to attend your birth in ways that support your full expression, facilitating conscious choice, knowing that each has their own journey and truly, your body knows best. I support partner participation to increase intimacy and trust.

I am available for Herbal Medicine consultations both for the childbearing years and beyond and I love making medicine that meets our whole selves.

Victoria

Birth & Postpartum Doula

I am a mom who is passionate about supporting other families throughout the magical yet challenging experience of bringing a new life into this world.

MEET VICTORIA

Adriana

Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist

My passion is taking care of newborns and families, sharing my knowledge and helping parents find what works best for their family.

MEET ADRIANA

I’m Brazilian and a mother of two beautiful girls. I worked as a professional nanny before becoming a Birth/Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist.. I am naturally caring, attentive, reliable, and ready to listen to the parents’ needs and what they want for their baby during this important phase. I can help facilitate the transition of having a new baby in the family and support interactions with your older children. I also have experience with sleep shaping/sleep conditioning for newborns.

Suely

Postpartum Doula, Breastfeeding Educator

As your postpartum doula, I offer nonjudgmental nurturing support to help you thrive and navigate your postpartum period smoothly.

MEET SUELY

I have always known myself as a nurturer, but it doesn’t come from nowhere. It all comes from my base foundation:

My mom, Tiloh, was the lovely family’s matriarch and a nurturer. I grew up seeing women in my family empowering and supporting other women in our community during all phases of their lives, through birth, and joy, and when they felt isolated and overwhelmed. This is where I learned that sometimes it takes only a set of helping hands to cause a positive impact in a woman’s life.

Family is important to me, and I have found my true calling in supporting families to create a peaceful transition and comfort when bringing a new baby home.

Becoming a parent is the most rewarding mission in life and it comes with infinite joy and challenges. The experience will be unique for each individual or family but they all have one thing in common: The need for a village to raise new humans.

As your postpartum doula, I want you to thrive and navigate smoothly during your postpartum period. I will offer you nonjudgmental nurturing and support with my knowledge and experience that I have assisted many families throughout my career as a childcare provider.

Bianca

Postpartum Doula

I love helping parents navigate the many hormonal changes, sleep deprivation, and exhaustion of the Postpartum period, while also enjoying this very important and loving moment.

MEET BIANCA

My name is Stefanne Bianca, but you can call me Bianca! Since I was 15 years old, I started to be interested in the world of parenting, I always liked everything related to pregnancy, birth, family, and development. I've always helped to take care of the children in my family. I've worked as a monitor for children at children's parties, I've been an au pair, and a nanny, and now I'm a doula and a mother.

I have always been proactive and multitasking, but becoming a mother and knowing all the possible hormonal changes in pregnancy, I became even more concerned and cared for the parents and children around me. Now I understand better how much we can care and help. My husband and I didn't have any help with our daughter, which awakened in me the desire to support other families as they go through this very important moment in life.

Ivette

Postpartum Doula

I look to provide families with the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own family.

MEET IVETE

As a postpartum doula with over five years of experience in infant care, I provide exceptional care to new parents and their infants. As a mother myself, I understand the importance of having a supportive and compassionate postpartum doula during this special moment in a family's life.

I am patient, empathetic, and respectful of different parenting styles. I am also reliable, punctual, and able to work independently or as part of the household.

Holly

Birth & Postpartum Doula

I act as a guide through your postpartum recovery, offering encouragement, support, and rest for you and your family.

MEET HOLLY

Juliana

Postpartum Doula

I am committed to helping families to adjust to life with a new baby and providing all the support they need so everything will be as smooth as possible.

MEET JULIANA

Breanna

Postpartum Doula

I am passionate, patient, and dedicated to assisting your family and supporting your parenting philosophy.

MEET BREANNA

With over eight years of experience across roles like pediatric medical assistant, postpartum doula, newborn care specialist, and nanny, I bring a well-rounded background in childcare. I’m committed to helping families navigate the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby, offering compassionate support for recovery and essential care for your newborn while honoring your unique parenting philosophy.

Imane

Birth & Postpartum Doula

I am an advocate, trusted support, and helping hand. My goal is to honor and protect what you know you need, ensuring you feel empowered throughout your journey.

MEET IMANE

I believe there's a place for everything, and no one thing is wholly good or bad. The more we know, the better we can choose for ourselves while also holding the reality of the very little control we have over everything. Providing this kind of care for my community is an act of love and revolution I truly believe in.

Every person deserves to feel safe, informed, and supported through every phase of life but especially during this time of bringing new life into the world. Being invited to be a part of this chapter with you is something I don't take lightly and am grateful to be a part of. My practice is rooted in the core understanding that this type of support is a human right, and that if our modern system of living did not remove us from the ways of communal living this care would have been obvious and not need to be sought out. I believe that the way we heal as a society is to take care of one another, and this is how I hope to contribute to you and your family.

Kathy

Birth & Postpartum Doula, Hypnobabies & Body Ready Birth Instructor, Lactation Counselor (Olympia WA)

As a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula, I feel honored to be able to share my expertise with families around the Washington South Puget Sound.

MEET KATHY

I approach birth and postpartum support holistically and from a functional perspective, believing birth is a normal part of life, and parents know what is best for their babies. While providing physical support during labor and in your home postpartum, my role is also to act as an advocate for your family and help you know your options and choose what feels best for you. I believe everyone deserves love and support during their transition into parenthood.

Davina

Birth & Postpartum Doula, and RWD Administrative Assistant (Olympia WA)

I believe in a judgment-free and pressure-free approach, ensuring that you feel empowered and supported in your journey into parenthood.

MEET DAVINA

Hello! I'm Davina, a proud mother and passionate postpartum doula. My personal journey into motherhood has equipped me with a naturally nurturing spirit and deep empathy, which I now dedicate to supporting new families during this transformative time in their lives.
