Alicia Edeline
Being of service to others is my passion, and that passion has found a home in supporting families as they welcome new life into this world. As a birth and postpartum doula, I provide physical, emotional, informational, and spiritual support in a thoughtful and compassionate manner throughout each phase of the process. I love meeting you where you are and simply being a companion to where you are headed. My wish for you throughout your childbearing experience is that you find strength, courage, confidence, and intuition and carry that forward. Your life experiences may influence how you are feeling about your pregnancy, birth, specific needs and type of support you desire. Through prenatal planning and our discussions, we will discover what you and/or your partner may need and how I can best support you through this transformative life event. I am experienced in comfort touch, optimal fetal positioning, rebozo, mindfulness, highly medical/high risk pregnancy, hospital birth, home birth, water birth, VBAC and more. This is your journey, this path belongs to you to walk, to choose, to learn and to grow.
Born and raised in a small town in the Sierra Foothills of Northern California, the importance of family and community were instilled in me at an early age. My life path didn’t immediately lead me to birth work, I first studied linguistics and German in Chico, CA before making my move to the “big city” landing a job in the corporate world. In between supporting new families and individuals, I enjoy spending time with my husband, Kevin, and my two dogs.
Partnership Model
To best serve you, I often work in a partnership with Bri Dewey to provide the benefits of a doula team. These benefits include two unique sets of knowledge, experience, and styles, constant doula support in the event of an extended labor, and continuity of care (built-in back-up if one of us is not available). You get two doulas for the price of one, and visits with us are always a fun time!
