During the birth Yoli was very encouraging, positive and helpful. She provided soothing massage techniques, essential oils, and uplifting words of wisdom. Yoli helped me stay calm and stick to my birth plan.

What Families Are Saying

Hannah Corson

Yoli was an amazing doula for us!! She went above and beyond what we were hoping for. She was flexible and adaptable (my labor was stalled out for 5 days), super helpful - willing to make some meals and clean up, not to mention her contribution during my labor. She knows some great techniques that helped me get through each contraction. I couldn't have done it without her! I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Meaghan Aitken

Those very first moments of us loving something greater than ourselves were perfect because of Yoli. I would consider her my family and I hope that she is present when my second child is born. I would highly recommend Yoli for any services. Her compassion towards life and motherhood is immeasurable.

A Little About Me

I began my work in birth support in the Bay Area as a volunteer translator in a hospital OB unit, supporting mothers during one of the most important moments of their lives.

After raising five children of my own, I felt called to continue this work in a deeper way and became a certified doula in 2019.

I believe childbirth is a powerful and life-changing experience. With the right support, education, and care, it can be a moment where mothers feel strong, confident, and deeply connected to their journey into parenthood.

My goal is simple: to support you in a way that feels calm, personal, and empowering.
