Everyone deserves a doula. Whether you are nervous about giving birth or excited and intrigued, whether you want to know as much about the process as you can or you want to keep the mystery, the Harmony Doula Group are committed to providing you the best possible care with individualized emotional and physical support.

Relaxation. Reassurance. Guidance.

We will hold your hand, or your partner's hand, or your mom's hand, if that makes your birth a memorable and positive experience for you.

The team at the Harmony Doula Group have supported more than 500 people and families through childbirth.

We are trained in trauma-informed care and harm reduction practices, and equally inportantly bodywork modalities that include acupressure and pelvic floor balancing for easier, faster, more comfortable labors.

"Having a doula was an unforgettable, wonderful experience. Our experience of labor was calming, exciting, and fun. With each doula, I had a connection and feeling of safety. Having the Harmony Doula Team there made me feel confident, and allowed my partner and family to concentrate on being loving support to me rather then birthing experts." - Amy

It's normal for pregnant people and/or their partner(s) to have feelings of excitement, anxiety, and unease, even those who have already had babies. Our experienced team can guide you though it, asking questions, providing information, making suggestions, and helping you to discover what's important to you.

Less stress, less worry, more confidence, and better outcomes

Our doula support takes a collaborative approach. We listen to your values, hopes, and needs. We work together to support you in a way that you choose, so that you can have the most positive and empowered birth experience.

In the days, weeks, or months before you welcome a baby, the Harmony Doula Group is working to build a strong, connected relationship of trust with you. Whether at home in early labor and in active labor at the hospital, we join your birth care team whenever you need us.

Here's what you get with the Kaiser Package:

The Kaiser Hospital Birth Doula package is intended for anyone planning to use their Kaiser benefit for a doula. Kaiser is very specific about what they consider part of a doula package. This package allows you to use your maximum benefit.

We will soon be contracted to direct bill our Kaiser Medi-Cal beneficiaries, but do not intend to contract for Kaiser commercial plans.

Kaiser does not consider access to our online client classroom with childbirth, lactation, newborn care, and postpartum recovery classes, our body work sessions prenatally, or our lactation education provided postpartum to be covered in a doula package. Kaiser clients can choose the Works or Basics packages to utilize the fullness of our skills and abilities as a practice, but likely will not have their whole expense covered by their insurance.
