Hello and welcome!

I'm jaqueline, certified full spectrum doula and sleep consultant serving families in the bay area

My journey began with a move from Brazil to the US, where I initially served families as a nanny. Feeling called to provide deeper support, I became a newborn care specialist and dual-certified sleep consultant.

After having my own baby, my passion for holistic care grew, and I was inspired to get my birth and postpartum doula certifications. Now, I'm excited to combine my passion and years of expertise to serve families like yours throughout the East Bay Area and San Francisco, guiding you from pregnancy through your child's early years.

CLIENT LOVE

“As first-time parents Jaque was an invaluable resource”

 providing us and our daughter with training and support on sleeping, bathing, feeding, skincare (diaper rash, cradle cap, etc), and creating & establishing routines (day & night). While having a wealth of knowledge on many subjects, Jaque also knew when to defer to experts (lactation consultant, pediatrician, etc.) and never provided advice when she was not the expert. She also was considerate of our priorities as parents and willing to flex her curriculum to meet our needs and goals. We have recommended Jaque to many friends and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, supportive, professional, expert childcare specialist!

frequently asked

  • A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional and physical support to expectant mothers before, during, and after childbirth.

  • I am certified as a Full Spectrum Doula, Pediatric Sleep Consultant, and Newborn Care Specialist, with current CPR/First Aid certification. I am also working toward becoming a Certified Lactation Support Provider. Additionally, I regularly complete continuing education courses in newborn care, birth support, postpartum care, lactation, and pediatric sleep.

  • Absolutely! I offer birth and postpartum doula services, either individually or as a package. Many clients prefer having the same doula throughout their journey for continuity of care and a deeper understanding of their needs.

  • While doulas focus on pregnancy, childbirth, and early postpartum support, sleep consultants specialize in helping families establish independent sleep habits for their little ones. Sleep consultants assess sleep patterns, create customized sleep plans, and guide parents through sleep training methods.
