Deanna Mulder-Sauter & Cybele MacHardy

We offer Birth Doula Services, Childbirth Education and Prenatal Massage in the East Bay; Oakland, Berkeley and Walnut Creek areas.

We believe amazing birth experiences begin with encouraging education that empowers and inspires you and knowledgeable support that offers the same. We teach Group Childbirth Classes at the Baby World in Oakand that provide many proven techniques for an easier and more manageable birth experience.  Because birth is such an amazing , sacred and profound rite of passage for both parents, we believe that every couple and every baby has the right to the best birth possible.  We would love to be a part of this incredible journey with you.

We  are a doula partnership which means that we interview together and are hired as a team. There is no additional cost for this and it allows for a greater sense of support and comfort for everyone involved. We alternate weekly on-call status and the doula on call when you go into labor will usually be the doula that attends your birth. The other doula may step in temporarily in the event of a long labor to ensure that you always have a refreshed and present doula supporting you.

Doula Statistics:
  • 50% reduction in the cesarean rate
  • 25% shorter labor
