My philosophy is that judgement and restriction has no place in birth work. I'm not here to tell you what to do or turn my nose up at you for what you choose not to do.

My name is Sandra Luz Alvarado and I am a postpartum doula and a Newborn Care Specialist. I was born in El Salvador and came to California 35 years ago. I am a wife (I have been with my husband almost 30 years!) and a mother to 5 beautiful children, including my youngest, who is three years old. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a graphic designer, elder care provider, and nanny. Some years back I decided to become a postpartum doula. I was interested in expanding my knowledge about infants, while supporting new mothers at the same time. I love spending time with families during this early part of life--helping them to have a smooth adjustment and close bond with their newborn. I am also trained to support women during labor and birth. My birth and postpartum doula trainings are through DONA International. My continuing education includes: childbirth education training, breastfeeding education training, and CPR/First Aid Certification. I love working with new parents and giving them all the information and skills they need to be successful and confident parents. It's such a pleasure seeing my client families blossom in the postpartum period. It would be an honor and pleasure to support you in your own parenting journey!
