We were toying around with the idea of hiring Callie for our second child, and she took a last minute phone call, and answered all of my questions for my second without charge. She got into the specifics of my second son very quickly and provided direction for how to adapt sleep teaching for him given his needs. I know if the training doesn't go as planned, she will be there for us and if it does go well, we have her to thank!

Callie has helped me gain confidence when it comes to getting both of my children on the right path…read morewith sleep from the get go! She has affirmed what I'm comfortable with as far as "sleep training" and been such an encouragement through the tougher sleepless weeks. She truly feels like a part of our family. Her advice and consistency through newborn/toddler sleep struggles in my mind makes her the single most important piece to the functioning of our family, as everyone knows sleep is paramount! Thank you thank you thank you Callie, we love you!

We can't say enough good things about Margo. She was our night doula and sleep trainer in the early…read moreweeks with our baby, and she was truly wonderful. From the very first night, it was clear she cared deeply, not just about our baby, but about our entire family. She checked in on how we were doing, made sure we were rested and supported, and treated our home and our little one with so much warmth. Her care went far beyond the nights she was with us. She would reach out throughout the day to see how the baby was doing, and even checked in while she was on vacation. That level of dedication is something you just don't find often. Her knowledge was incredibly helpful in those early days, but what has really stayed with us is the foundation she built. The sleep training routines and guidance she gave us are things we still use today. We recommend Margo to all of our friends, and we'd recommend her to anyone looking for a night doula or sleep trainer without hesitation.

The postpartum period is notoriously difficult, but Margo made ours relatively easy. She's an…read moreexpert doula and sleep trainer, and she is a great educator. Plus she's a warm, calm person with solid social skills who is a pleasure to be around. Honestly, I missed just talking with her after our contract had finished. She's also accessible-- if you are working with her at night and you have questions during the day, she will answer and help. Margo is worth every cent; you couldn't do better.

We have reached out to Adele twice now, once when our boy was about 1.5 years, and once more…read morerecently when he was 2 - both at times when he was going through some kind of sleep regression. Adele was such a great listener and support to us sleep-deprived and desperate parents, and both times she felt we were on the right track (she was right) and very kindly did not charge or offer her services as she did not think we needed them. She has great integrity and truly cares about helping people rather than trying to force a program. We will be keeping her in mind in the future should we face other sleep issues - she's great!

I cannot recommend Adele enough! From the very beginning, she was incredibly understanding and…read moreflexible, tailoring her approach to fit our family's comfort level. Sleep training can be such a difficult and emotional process, especially when hearing your baby cry, but Adele's gentle and supportive method made all the difference. Unlike other consultants I looked into, who were strict in their "cry-it-out" approach, Adele was caring, patient, and truly invested in our success. From night one, my baby was sleeping through the night! We only had to give a few bottles before he naturally weaned himself, and as a huge bonus, we also managed to say goodbye to the binky! Thanks to Adele's method, which worked perfectly for us, he is now an amazing sleeper--and in turn, our whole family is finally getting the rest we desperately needed. We are all so much happier! What I loved most about working with Adele was how attentive and responsive she was. She truly understood how much we were struggling, and it was clear that she genuinely wanted to help. She was always quick to answer emails, calls, and texts, making us feel supported every step of the way. Each sleep plan she provided was well-organized, easy to follow, and set us up for long-term success. Even now, I feel confident handling any future sleep challenges because of everything she taught us. I've already recommended Adele to several friends and will recommend her to anyone else who finds themselves in a situation where they need a sleep consultant. Adele completely transformed our little guy's sleep, and I know so many other families could benefit from her expertise. Adele saved our sanity and gave us our lives back. Now, instead of taking shifts for naps, we can actually enjoy our days together as a family. If you're struggling with sleep, don't hesitate--Adele is the best!"

This review is long overdue…read more I had my first child in Dec 2023. I worked with Chandra as my postpartum doula and the experience was nothing short of amazing! She was like a second mother / sister to me the entire time. The first few weeks of postpartum were truly a rollercoaster ride of emotions but working with Chandra made it so much easier. I could ask her any question and knew that there was no judgement whatsoever. I felt so comfortable around her within a few days. She was the blessing I needed during my postpartum phase and I am truly grateful that our paths crossed. She is a wonderful human being with such a beautiful aura. The treats she made were so tasty and healthy. When I mentioned to her how I loved a certain treat she made, she made me the same one a few days later as a surprise in addition to what she already made for me. On our last day, she gave me a sacred thread to bless me and my family which I am still wearing a whole year later! I am super thankful to her for taking care of me so well during my postpartum phase. she is truly a gem!

Chandra and Soi have been the most incredible support system during my postpartum period. My first…read morepregnancy and postpartum were very difficult and I knew I wanted to take a different approach for my second baby. Chandra and Soi created a custom support package for me and worked closely with me to craft a plan to make sure that postpartum with my second baby was a more positive experience. While I was still pregnant, Chandra and Soi provided bodywork that really helped me prepare for the birth. Chandra also took the time to educate me on the Ayurvedic approach to postpartum (nutrition, bodywork, and healing in general). After my baby was born, Chandra delivered an incredible food and drink package to UCSF so that I could focus on my recovery from day 1. She was also in touch in the lead up and during the delivery providing emotional support and encouragement. After I came home from the hospital, Soi arrived and cared for me and my baby for 8 weeks. The level of care that was provided went above and beyond my expectations. Soi truly took care of me, so that I could be there for my new baby and toddler and be present with them to enjoy this precious time together. Soi cooked nutritious and warming meals for me, she provided daily bodywork to help my sore muscles, and she was there every step of the way encouraging me. She quickly became a very close friend that I knew that I could rely on. She was incredibly hands on with my newborn, making sure that I had time to rest and recover. It was such a relief to have someone in my home that I felt like I could trust, and who I genuinely believed cared about my and my baby's well being. Over the course of these 8 weeks Chandra was also always on call and available to provide additional support, advice, and encouragement. After the 8 week period I have continued bodywork with Chandra and it has made such a positive impact on my continued recovery. Working with Chandra and Soi was the best investment I could have ever made in my physical and mental health and my recovery. From the moment you meet Chandra you can immediately tell that she loves caring for others, and finds joy and meaning in helping other people. Soi also has a very positive and nurturing energy and puts 100% of her heart into her work. Every thing that Chandra and Soi do comes from a place of love and wanting to connect and care for new moms. I highly recommend both Chandra and Soi, and would work with them again with no hesitation.

My husband and I hired Angela when I was 36 weeks pregnant and delivered at 38 weeks on 3/1/2015…read more We chose her out of 2 other doulas. Why did we? Well the first phone conversation I felt her confidence and sincerity. When we interviewed her I sensed her passion and sweetness. I felt comfortable with her and that's very important while giving birth. Speaking of birth, I had a long and tough one. She was AMAZING! Very attentive, very responsive, very patient, professional and just incredible. My husband and I wouldn't have been able to cope with our difficult labor without her. She made my 5 hours of pushing "easier" with her words of confidence and support. Angela, you are wonderful and I would definitely love to hire you for my next baby (not anytime soon!).

We hired Angela to assist us with our home birth and couldn't be more happy that we did! My…read morecontractions started intermittently 3 days before our baby girl arrived. By the middle of the second night we needed some reinforcement. My husband and I were both tired and we had exhausted all of the "tricks" we knew. Angela arrived at 2am with a renewed enthusiasm and full tool box. Her physical techniques were incredibly soothing and helpful through my contractions and during the "breaks" as well. Her calming demeanor and encouraging voice helped get us through the second night. We had a break during the day (my contractions slowed down and with less intensity) and then she was back the next night for the birth. Again she arrived in the middle of the night and didn't skip a beat. She jumped in where she was needed (massaging and applying counter pressure on my hips, back and thighs) and helped us bring our beautiful baby girl in to the world. She was extremely helpful to the midwife following the birth as well in getting things cleaned up and put away so we could be present with our daughter and enjoy our new little gift. We appreciated her enthusiasm, confidence, professionalism and willingness to do whatever was needed and best for our family. She is great and we are so happy she was part of our team!

I've been seeing Alison for acupuncture for years, and I honestly can't recommend her enough.

Beyond the physical care, she's also supported me through some really difficult emotional and traumatic periods in my life. She has such a calming presence and creates a space where you feel safe, heard, and genuinely cared for. Alison is not only incredibly skilled, but deeply intuitive and compassionate. I trust her completely, which says everything. She's hands down the best practitioner I've ever worked with, and I'm so grateful to have had her in my life all these years.

I have gone to her several times for counseling when I was married and thought she was effective…read more She was ineffective as a separating couple. During the separation proceedings she was heavy sided for matters to the other party and did not handle being neutral in the situation. She was partial to custody only for the mother and did not regard me as a primary parent. I felt that was unfair for a father trying to have equal custody. This is a new era and fathers are important in raising a child. We do not live in the old days of the mother being a primary parent. She is knowledgeable in her field of work but (separating/divorcing) fathers and men be careful of her bias.

Stumbled upon Mama Roots on Instagram because they were offering a free mama & baby yoga class for…read moretheir grand opening this past weekend! Our instructor was Sofia, she was great. I had brought my 2 month old and he was asleep in the carrier the whole time other mamas had their babies out on the mat with them. Sofia was very interactive and provided guidance as she saw fit for everyone. She was helpful with modifications since I was baby wearing, but I generally also just followed along as best as I could too. I loved doing yoga before, and I'm so glad I found a space that offers classes like this where I could get intentional movement in with my little one! I wish this space was open earlier when I was pregnant. They were offering a free prenatal yoga class that day too. It was something I was looking for when I was preggers and didn't want to go to a regular yoga studio when I was more obviously pregnant and wanted something more catered to that time in my life. They have a restroom right outside the studio room and a changing table in the studio space too. Mats, blocks, and things were available, but you can bring your own if you prefer! Loved the soft light in the room for the babies. No jarring fleurescent lighting over top. The studio is on the 2nd floor. There is an elevator available, but I think they would prefer you to park your stroller in the clinic downstairs. Michelle, the owner as well as one of the providers at the space is super nice and a matcha loving queen! Will definitely be back for yoga and check out their other services another time!
