We are Julia Larson and Erin Chapman, a birth, postpartum, and lactation support doula partnership based in Berkeley.

We offer:

Birth Doula Support
Postpartum Day Doula Care
Postpartum Night Doula Care
Comprehensive Lactation Support
Extensive Postpartum Meal Planning & Preparation

We share an immense passion for both the transformational value of birth and the sacred, very tender freshly postpartum period and enjoy supporting clients through both of these very important but often very different transitions.

 We are seeking clients that are intentional about their birth and postpartum preparation and seeking an engaged and experienced doula duo to amplify their efforts and preparation.

We believe in maximizing the impact of our care with our clients, not minimizing the time we spend together— this often looks like more frequent and thorough prenatal visits, more thorough pre and early labor support, and more robust postpartum contracts that can span through the 4 or more month after birth.

Unlike other doulas that may be on call for 5 or more birth at a time, because we work with only one to two families at a time we offer both guaranteed birth attendance and plentiful immediate postpartum support availability.

We enrich our support by also being an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC Erin) and soon to be IBCLC (Julia). We are able to weave in comprehensive feeding support into both our prenatal preparation and postpartum support contracts. Having day and night time advanced lactation providers at hand (medical grade weights, latch and positioning help, feeding plans) is rare in the doula support world and something we see that really sets apart our partnership.

We are looking forward to getting to know you more to see if we might be a good fit!
