In 2014, after having my own home birth with a midwife, I knew that I wanted to help expectant families have that same empowered and supported birthing experience that I did. I am dedicated to making sure that you and your partner feel like you have the skills you need to have the most positive birth experience as possible. I love to explore and research ways to provide you with continuous support, and use evidence based information so that you can make educated decisions during your pregnancy, birth, and into postpartum.
I support families all throughout the following areas: South Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco, and East Bay. I am 100% vaccinated and boosted.

Birth Doula
Postpartum Doula
"Sheryll was such a source of comfort and support when I had my first baby. I was worried about my gestational diabetes causing complications, and my doctors were stressing me out. But Sheryll helped put my mind at ease and gave me lots of advice. She has an incredible wealth of knowledge regarding childbirth, and any little question I brought to her, she had a thoughtful answer for it. She even made me lactation cookies when my milk supply ran low! I would recommend Sheryll to anybody who needs a Doula."
"Sheryll was an amazing birth doula for the birth of my daughter in October 2012!! After we met with her, my husband and I knew she had the exact energy to be the support we needed. She has a very calming presence, SUPER down to earth and a great sense of humor. Like most women, I had some anxiety and labor hit me in different waves but her approach as a doula helped me feel more in control and calmer. During labor, she offered numerous tips, positions, oils and confidence to help. She was very reassuring through the whole process. Lastly we had a great postpartum follow up that was really helpful for processing everything. Overall, I'd strongly recommend Sheryll!! I plan on working with her again for any future pregnancies!"
"Sheryl was absolutely amazing. She gave me the utter most confidence for birth and made me feel very comfortable to ask questions and concerns. As well as giving me the best advice on how to push , which is very important in the birthing process of course! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a doula. She’s a very nurturing and kind spirit who can help guide you through such a huge and intense part of a woman’s life. Thank you so much for your services, will absolutely go to you for next baby :)!"
"I found out I was pregnant in May of last year and started asking around for Doulah recommendations. A friend of mine suggested Golden Gate Doulas and that's where I met Sheryll. She is absolutely the sweetest and so very knowledgeable. Her support and guidance made everything easier and I'm so grateful to her. She listens, advocates and truly has the mamas and babies' best interests in mind. She is soft spoken, informative and above all has a wonderful personality. I highly recommend her as your Doula if you're looking for someone fantastic! Thank you again Sheryll!"
