Providing gentle, evidence-based support so your family can thrive.
Hi, I'm Babi.
Before becoming a Postpartum Doula and a Newborn Care Specialist, I spent five years caring for newborns, infants, and young children throughout the Bay Area. During that time, I had the privilege of supporting many families and caring for children from birth through their early years, gaining valuable hands-on experience with infant care, feeding, soothing, sleep routines, and child development.
Through these experiences, I discovered my passion for supporting families during the early postpartum period. I realized how much of a difference compassionate guidance, reassurance, and practical support can make as parents adjust to life with a new baby. I also learned how my support to moms can make such a difference during a tender time.This inspired me to pursue a career as a postpartum doula, allowing me to support families during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives.
Families often describe me as calm, attentive, nurturing, and dependable. I am comfortable to both work with parents to incorporate their preferences, but also share my recommendations based on my experience.
I feel honored to walk alongside parents during the postpartum journey, helping them feel supported, confident, and cared for as they welcome and bond with their new baby.

Client Reviews
“Babi adapted beautifully to our needs — preparing meals for me while I was breastfeeding, expertly helping with solids despite two food allergies (FPIES and IgE), and proactively massaging to help bowel movements and tummy troubles. She acted as a true food whisperer for our fussy eater, helped establish healthy sleep habits, supported crawling and first steps, and played a big role in our daughter’s early language development through constant reading, explaining, and singing from day one. We’re deeply grateful for her support and highly recommend her — she’ll be wonderful as a doula for new families.”
— Melissa V."Having Babi as our overnight doula was a game changer. She was calm, reliable, and amazing with our newborn. We finally got the sleep we needed."

"Babi began working with our family when my oldest was an infant, guiding me through being a first-time mother. Most recently this year, she supported us through the newborn phase with our second baby. She successfully got our daughter to take a bottle when she was resisting it for us, and helped us establish a gentle, effective sleep schedule. She is incredibly experienced and has been a great sounding board for us. She effortlessly cares for both of my kids together (now 2.5 years and 6 months). I now have total peace of mind and zero worries whenever I need or want to leave the house. Barbara has a warm, kind presence that instantly puts our home at ease. We love her and highly recommend her for any postpartum or childcare needs."
— Jillian B."I highly recommend Babi. She took great care of our newborn. She is patient, professional, and understand well the baby and the parents' needs."
