Doulas in Oakland, California (Alameda County)

Congratulations on your growing family!

I became a doula because of my love of supporting physiological birth. As a birth doula, I attend birth in all settings. I truly believe birth is sacred and hold that reverence when entering the space. When working as a postpartum doula, I love helping new parents get as much sleep as possible and are well nourished.

My philosophy as a doula is that every birthing person deserves evidence-based information, emotional support and comfort measures. Empowered birthing people are confident going into labor and that is key to having an optimal experience.... See More

I am Carmen Herlihy, a DONA-certified birth doula. I am also a postpartum doula trained by the San Francisco General Hospital doula program. While working as a Licensed Vocational Nurse in the women's clinic at SFGH, I had the opportunity to become a doula in 2010, and it has been the most rewarding work ever imaginable. I am also a Massage Therapist.

I grew up in Barcelona and speak fluent Spanish, as well as Catalan and French. I feel strongly about wanting to support women, partners, and families in this process of welcoming babies to the world. If you are interested in my services, message or call me - I look forward to helping you.

I have received Covid vaccination and all vacines are up to date.
