Where Rest, Recovery, and Connection Begin

Giulia favia

As a mom, postpartum doula, and nursing student, I am a strong advocate for women’s health and well-being. I see each birth as a sacred ceremony. Preparing for the postpartum period allows us to enter motherhood wholeheartedly as we welcome a new beginning. By giving our bodies time to pause, rest, and replenish the energy used during labor, we create space to embrace the profound metamorphosis of our spirit.

Supporting Mothers. Supporting Families.

I believe compassionate postpartum support should be accessible to every family as they grow, heal, and transition into this new chapter together.To help make care more accessible, I offer flexible payment options and work with most insurance plans in Santa Cruz, Monterey, and Los Gatos. Many insurance plans now include postpartum doula services at little to no cost, depending on your coverage.I’m happy to talk with you about your benefits, answer your questions, and create a postpartum care plan that feels right for you and your family.

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.
