Where Rest, Recovery, and Connection Begin

• Intake Form

Giulia favia

As a mama and postpartum doula, I see each birth as a sacred ceremony. Planning for the postpartum period helps us become wholehearted mothers as we begin the journey of welcoming new life. While birth's magic can't always be explained, we can honor it with gentle rituals, giving our bodies a moment to pause and replenish the energy used during labor.

Having a doula is a necessity and every family deserves to choose their hive based on their needs.Compassionate support should be accessible to every family as they grow and heal together. For that, I offer flexible payment options and accept most insurance plans within Santa Cruz, Monterey and Los Gatos. Many insurance companies now offer FREE postpartum services.

How can I help?

By supporting moms in their postpartum journey, I am committed to my small efforts of healing our community. When women thrive, our communities flourish. After birth, the mind, body, and spirit go through a deep transformation that can shape long-term physical, emotional, and energetic health. Restoring for the body during postpartum lays the foundation for a mother’s happiness for years to come. This is a time when every mama deserves a supportive team to remind her of the power she owns. Why would't we want to focus on our postpartum well being?Many of my offerings are rooted in Mesoamerican traditions, honoring my family’s heritage as a first-generation Mexican American. One of the core practices I support is la cuarentena—a 40-day period after birth that focuses on rest, bonding with the baby, and nourishing the mother with healing foods and rituals.
