What We Offer

Postpartum Care,
Your Way

The East Bay Postpartum Doula Circle is a guild of independent doulas who have been meeting monthly for support, peer consulting, and continuing education since 2001.

Each doula brings her own background and expertise — from lactation and sleep consulting to infant massage and craniosacral therapy. You hire directly, choosing the doula whose skills and style are the best fit for your family.

What Sets Us Apart

25 Years of Community

Evidence-Based

Monthly meetings with guest speakers, shared research, and continuing education keep our care current and informed.

Independent

You hire your doula directly. Each doula sets her own rates, schedule, and contract — no middleman fees.

Multidisciplinary

IBCLCs, craniosacral practitioners, birth doulas, massage therapists, sleep consultants, and Reiki practitioners — all in one circle.

Peer-Supported

Our doulas support each other through an active online group and monthly meetings — so the wisdom of the circle benefits every family.

"With professional support from a postpartum doula, a family can experience success, gain knowledge and become more self-confident with the new baby."
