Supporting Families
​
Bringing your newborn home is a time of love, change, and adjustment. As your postpartum doula and lactation specialist, I’m here to ease that transition—supporting your recovery, answering your questions, and creating space for rest and confidence. With practical help, emotional reassurance, and gentle guidance, I help you and your family settle into this new chapter with greater peace, joy, and strength.
About Catherine Meyer
I'm a San Francisco–based postpartum doula, breastfeeding specialist, and yoga teacher with a background as a licensed midwife in France, where I had the privilege of supporting thousands of families and delivering over 500 babies. Today, I dedicate my work to guiding parents in the tender weeks after birth—offering practical help, breastfeeding support, and emotional reassurance. As a mother of three, I understand both the beauty and challenges of this transition and bring calm, compassionate care to help you feel confident and supported as you welcome your baby.
