About Kristan - Bay Area Postpartum Doula, Night Doula & Lactation Counselor

As a mother and experienced postpartum doula, I understand the joys and challenges of welcoming a new baby. My passion is helping families transition into parenthood with confidence, compassion, and calm guidance. 

​

Certified Postpartum Doula, Newborn Care Specialist, and Lactation Counselor

​

Parents often tell me what sets me apart is the combination of deep experience and genuine care. With more than 20 years working with children, along with certifications in postpartum doula support, newborn care, and lactation counseling, I provide guidance families can trust. My role is not only to care for your baby, but to make sure you feel seen, supported, and confident as a parent.

I offer a wide range of services to help new parents, including:

  • Lactation Counseling and Breastfeeding Support: Assisting you in establishing a strong breastfeeding foundation, addressing concerns like milk supply, and helping with latching issues.

  • Newborn Care Education: Providing essential skills and knowledge for newborn care.

  • Emotional Support: Helping you navigate the emotional challenges of the postpartum period.

  • Practical Household Assistance: Assisting with everyday tasks to allow you more time to bond with your baby.​
