BORN Collective

BORN Collective is a trio of experienced birth workers providing conscious, client-centered care to Bay Area families throughout the childbearing year and beyond.

As doulas we strive to support our clients in accessing their inner strength and connecting with their intuition while providing physical, emotional, and informational resources to support them on their individual journey. We empower people to connect with their baby and birth, advocate for themselves with informed choice, and prepare for the expansive possibilities that come with this life changing transition.

We use our confidence and understanding of a diverse range of birth settings, providers, and families to support our clients on their individual journey whether that be a home, hospital, or birth center birth.

Throughout your pregnancy you will work with two primary doulas from our collective. You will meet with each of them prenatally to prepare, plan, and share about your hopes for your birth and new family. Both doulas will be on call for your labor, with one of us attending your birth. You are also invited to join us at our monthly prenatal group where you can spend time with all three of us, and with other expectant parents, building community and exploring further topics to support your birth and pregnancy.

After working individually in private practice we know that the collective model allows us to provide more comprehensive, sustainable, and consistent support to every family. We operate with a shared ethos, sense of wonder, and joy of birth.

We also run a support group for queer families at any point on their fertility/child rearing journey. This has become a haven for queer families and queer single parents looking to connect and feel supported in community. This group meets monthly, in-person/virtual hybrid.

As a collective we offer birth, and day and night postpartum support. We strive to meet our clients needs in a holistic way an partner with other trusted birth workers to make sure folks get all the support they need.
