Stephanie S. | Postpartum Doula in San Jose, CA

    Practice overview

    As a Brazilian doula, I bring a unique blend of cultural understanding and diverse experiences to support you and your family during the transformative postpartum period. Over the years, I've had the privilege of assisting more than 8 families on their parenting journey, and I'm here to provide comprehensive support tailored to your needs.

    Breastfeeding is a beautiful but often challenging aspect of early motherhood. I have extensive experience helping mothers establish and maintain successful breastfeeding relationships with their newborns. Whether you're looking for guidance on latching, pumping, or addressing common breastfeeding concerns, I'm here to lend my expertise and ensure you feel confident in your breastfeeding journey.

    Sleep is a precious commodity for new parents, and I specialize in sleep training techniques that can help your baby establish healthy sleep patterns. I understand the exhaustion that comes with caring for a newborn, and I'm here to provide guidance on creating a nurturing sleep environment and implementing gentle sleep training methods that work for you and your baby.

    In addition to breastfeeding and sleep support, I offer assistance with bottle feeding, including proper feeding techniques and hygiene. I can also take care of the practical aspects, such as washing bottles and pump parts, so you can focus on bonding with your baby and taking care of yourself.

    Emotional support is a cornerstone of my practice. The postpartum period can be emotionally challenging, and I'm here to listen, provide a compassionate ear, and offer guidance on managing the emotional ups and downs that can accompany this time of adjustment. My non-judgmental and empathetic approach ensures you have a safe space to express your feelings and concerns.

    In summary, my doula practice is rooted in my Brazilian heritage and my dedication to supporting families through the intricate journey of early parenthood. Whether you need assistance with breastfeeding, sleep training, bottle feeding, or emotional support, I'm here to provide the expert care and personalized attention you and your family deserve. Together, we can navigate this beautiful and transformative period in your lives.

      I can’t say enough about our incredible postpartum doula! She was an absolute lifesaver during those early days with our newborn. Her emotional support was a game-changer, always offering a comforting presence and a listening ear. Whether it was breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, she provided expert guidance and made us feel at ease. Her sleep training methods were effective, and our little one is now a fantastic sleeper. Her trustworthiness and passion for what she does shine through, and we felt truly blessed to have her by our side.
