Request to Meet Summer

Summer (she/her) is a Birth Doula and Health Educator. To Summer, being a doula is showing and guiding people that you can prioritize and advocate for yourself – your comfort, your safety – through birth, one of the most transformative moments in one’s life, and for the rest of your life. She studied Public Health at UC Berkeley and was a Sexual Health Educator. Summer was previously a Program Manager in biotech before deciding to change career paths to become a birthworker.

From promoting reproductive health to learning about America’s complex healthcare system, Summer is passionate about helping growing families prepare and navigate through what happens during labor and birth while providing compassionate and personalized care. She is dedicated to ensuring her clients feel safe. Through education and understanding your options for your body and your baby, Summer wants people to feel empowered during their pregnancy, labor, and birth. Creating life and bringing a baby into this world is beautiful and she wants to support people through this vulnerable time. You can cry, laugh, yell as much as you want. She wants you to center yourself!

  • "I can't express how grateful I am for Summer being an incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. She has been more than just a doula – she's been my guide, offering invaluable insights and comforting advice. Calm and soothing nature, coupled with her role as my support system and cheerleader. She has truly created an amazing pregnancy journey for me, and I can't thank her enough. If I decide to have another baby, there's no doubt I would want Summer as my doula once again."

  • "Our journey with Summer was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial meeting, we felt a deep sense of comfort and trust in her abilities. Summer was instrumental in guiding us through one of the most important phases of our lives. Her blend of professional expertise, personalized care, and genuine warmth not only prepared us for childbirth but also enriched our entire pregnancy journey. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any expectant parents seeking a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula."

  • "My birth ended up being expedited, but thanks to Summer's resources and guidance, we managed to organize everything just in time for a comfortable scheduled C-section. When the hospital decided to keep me, I was incredibly nervous. Summer arrived within an hour of me letting her know about the change in plans, and her presence immediately put me at ease. She made sure the doctors were aware of my birth preferences and assisted whenever she could. What I really loved was that the information covered during her sessions was exactly what I experienced in real life. I felt so empowered and in control of my experience because of her. Her postpartum visits and regular check-ins were invaluable, providing much-needed reassurance and support during the transition period for my partner and me. Summer's dedication and care were evident in every interaction, making a significant difference in our experience. If you are considering a doula, I highly recommend Summer. Her expertise and compassionate support are unmatched."

  • We had a wonderful experience working with Summer. We are first time parents, and Summer made us feel really at ease, was highly punctual and responsive. She was also really great with our dog, an energetic but sweet little Australian shepherd. I would recommend Summer to any parents who need someone who is kind, caring, and attentive!

  • I enjoyed every labor technique that Summer applied to help me through labor! Summer was very hands on and I needed this to help me through active labor. I enjoyed Summer’s vibe and proactive approach/attitude! My partner felt fully supported, too
