Empowering your birth journey with Calm, Care, and Compassion

Hi, I’m Vivian Do, a birth and postpartum doula serving families in the East Bay and San Francisco.I became a doula because I’ve seen how lonely and isolating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum can feel—and I don’t believe anyone should have to go through it alone or feel unsupported. It truly takes a village, and I’m here to be part of yours.I completed my labor, postpartum, and lactation training through MaternityWise, am trained with Hospital Friendly Doulas, and currently volunteer weekly as a birth doula at Alta Bates Sutter Health in Berkeley. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I proudly accept Medi-Cal and Kaiser insurance so that quality birth support is accessible to more families.My goal is to provide calm, compassionate, and affirming care while advocating for your voice and honoring your choices.I believe that every birthing person should have the support and care they deserve for birth and postpartum. I will advocate for and empower you to have the birth journey that you dream of.

Our prenatal sessions are designed to help you feel calm, confident, and supported as you prepare for birth and postpartum. Together, we’ll explore topics such as:- Nourishing your body with food, supplements, and gentle movement- Supporting your body and baby’s positioning throughout pregnancy- Clarifying your birth preferences, goals, and concerns- Understanding labor and what to expect during birth- Navigating hospital options, interventions, and pain relief options- Learning comfort tools like breathing, visualization, affirmations, and movement- Preparing your partner or support person for labor and postpartum- Getting ready for the final weeks, hospital bag, and home setup-Planning for postpartum recovery and breastfeeding supportEach session is personalized to your needs, questions, and vision—because your birth journey is unique, and your support should be too.
