You are worth the quiet moment.

You are worth the deeper breath. You are worth the time it takes to slow down, be still, and rest.” -Morgan Harper Nichols

About Doula Coral

I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role

My name is Coral Smith, and I am a highly experienced Doula serving families in the vibrant Bay Area. With nearly 25 years of dedicated service in the childcare industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to my role, holding certifications as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Lactation Support Counselor, Placenta Encapsulationist, Childbirth Educator and Pediatric Sleep Specialist.

As a proud mother to a beautiful daughter I understand firsthand the importance of nurturing support during the transformative journey of pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

I provide comprehensive guidance that includes evidence-based information tailored to you and your family's unique needs with a holistic approach that encompasses a variety of techniques such as breathing and pelvic floor exercises, mindfulness practices, meditations and massage that help to soothe the mind and foster a deeper connection to your body and with your baby.

Together, we can thoughtfully develop a personalized plan that reflects your values and preferences, ensuring you feel empowered to make the best choices for yourself and your baby. I am committed to offering both physical and emotional support that creates a safe and nurturing environment. I believe in building a strong relationship with my clients through open communication, trust and reliability. I offer both Birth Doula Support as well as day or night Postpartum care for you and your baby, Lactation Consulting, Placenta Encapsulation Services and Sleep guidance to support your family through birth, labor and beyond.

If you’re interested in exploring whether I would be the right fit for your family, please contact me for a free online video consultation to discuss your needs. Congratulations on this incredible journey ahead.
