About me
Hi there, I’m Keyani. It’s so nice to meet you! I’m a certified full-spectrum doula, as well as a certified sleep consultant, newborn care specialist, childbirth educator, and placenta encapsulator. I’ve spent the last 6 years working closely with infants and families, and it’s where my heart feels at home. I’m based in the East Bay and serve families around the San Francisco and Marin area. My approach is trauma-informed, gender affirming, and really centered on you feeling seen, safe, and supported every step of the way. I love helping families settle into their rhythm, build confidence, and feel more at ease in those early days and nights. I’d love to connect, hear more about what you’re looking for, and see how I can support you through this season :)

Frequently asked questions
When will my placenta capsules be ready, and how do I store them?
Capsules are typically ready within about 2 days after I receive your placenta. Once completed, they should be stored in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for longer freshness. I’ll go over everything with you so you feel clear and confident about how to use and store them.
What will I learn in your childbirth classes, and how will it help me prepare for birth?
You’ll learn how labor unfolds, ways to cope with contractions, your options for pain management, and how to make informed decisions as things come up. The goal is for you to understand what is happening in your body and feel more prepared going into your birth.
Should my partner attend the childbirth classes, and how are they involved?
Partners are always encouraged to attend. They learn how to support you physically and emotionally, how to read your cues, and how to stay grounded during labor. It helps them feel more confident and involved, so you feel supported as a team.
What will I learn in your newborn care classes, and who are they for?
These classes are designed for new and expecting parents who want to feel more confident caring for their baby. We go over feeding basics, diapering, soothing techniques, sleep foundations, and what is normal in those early days. The goal is to help you feel prepared, capable, and supported as you step into this new role.
What does a typical day with you look like and how do you support me and my baby?
Each day flows a little differently depending on what you and your baby need. Some days are slower and centered around feeding, rest, and check-ins. Other days include more hands-on support like baby care, light home resets, or preparing meals. I am there to care for your baby and to make sure you feel supported and not alone. We move at your pace and adjust as needed, so it always feels aligned with where you are
Will I be able to get uninterrupted sleep while you’re here, and how do you handle feedings overnight?
The goal is for you to get as much real, uninterrupted rest as possible. I care for your baby throughout the night, including soothing, diapering, and feedings. If you are breastfeeding, I bring the baby to you and handle everything in between. If you are using bottles, I take care of the feeds so you can continue resting. You can sleep knowing your baby is cared for and that you are supported, too.
What does your support look like during labor, and how do you work alongside my partner or care team?
I provide continuous support during labor. I help with positioning, comfort measures, and keeping you focused as things progress. I also help you understand what is happening so you can make decisions with clarity in the moment. I work with your partner and care team, not in place of them. I show your partner how to support you and step in when needed so they can take breaks. I communicate clearly with your providers to help keep things smooth and make sure your preferences are respected.
How do you support me if my birth does not go as planned?
Birth does not always follow a set plan, so my role is to help you stay informed and supported through any changes. I help you understand your options, ask the right questions, and make decisions that feel right for you in the moment. Whether your birth shifts toward interventions or a cesarean, I stay with you as a steady support. I focus on your comfort, help you process what is happening, and make sure you do not feel alone as things unfold.
Do you offer sliding scale options or work with insurance?
I do offer some flexibility in pricing depending on your situation, and I’m always open to having that conversation if cost feels like a barrier. My goal is to make support feel accessible when possible. I’m contracted with Raya, which allows me to accept most major insurance plans. I’m also a Carrot certified provider, so many families are able to receive reimbursement for my services. I provide all necessary documentation and can help guide you through the process to keep things simple and clear.
What does your approach to sleep look like, and do you use sleep training methods?
My approach is gentle, responsive, and tailored to your baby and your comfort level. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all method. Instead, I work with your baby’s temperament and your parenting style to find something that feels realistic and sustainable. If sleep training is something you are open to, we can explore it in a way that still feels respectful and supportive.
How long does it take to see results, and will I be supported along the way?
Every baby is different, but most families start to see shifts within the first few days to a week. Lasting change comes with consistency and support. I stay connected with you through follow-ups and messaging so you are not left guessing. You will have guidance, reassurance, and adjustments along the way so you feel confident moving forward.
How does the placenta process work, and how do you ensure it is handled safely?
I follow the Traditional Chinese Method, where the placenta is gently steamed, dehydrated, and placed into capsules. Everything is handled with strict cleanliness and care. I use food-safe equipment that is sanitized between each client, and your placenta is always processed separately to ensure safety and respect.
