Sofia is the founder of 'Sofia Doula Services'. She has been serving families all over the Treasure Valley and is looking forward to "Gently guiding you in your birth journey." Sofia is certified as a Birth & Labor Doula, as well as a Postpartum Doula through Madriella Doula Network!
Hi! I’m Sofia, and I’m thrilled with the opportunity to be your doula! As a mom of 3 I’m very familiar with the process of birth, as well as the life changes that come with it.
I believe pregnancy and labor are a special and sacred time, therefore it is my goal to help you have the best labor experience (by using physical comfort measures, words of encouragement, meeting the needs of both you & your partner, advocating for the choices made in your birth plan, and helping you find your own strength and peace during labor). I serve clients at birth centers, hospitals, and home births (unmedicated or those who require more medical intervention). I have a Master’s in Public Health, and after traveling & working in Africa and South America I married the love of my life 16 years ago.

![]() As a mother who experienced postpartum depression, I am well acquainted with the challenges and adjustments that start once the baby is born. As a Postpartum Doula I am here for you! I provide families information and support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and coping skills. I can also help with light housework, fix a meal and help incorporate an older child into this new experience.
I am honored to work with you, and to help you feel empowered and prepared for your desired labor & delivery experience. QUALIFICATIONS: - Certified Birth Doula (Madriella) - Certified Postpartum Doula (Madriella) - Infant CPR & First Aid certified - American Pediatric Association Safe Sleep certified - Trained in Hypnobirthing - Masters in Public Health with Maternal & Infant Health work experience SERVICES & FEES: Placenta Encapsulation: $225
Birth Doula Includes: $750
Postpartum Doula Includes: daytime shifts (minimum of 4 hours), night shifts (minimum 8 hours) $30 to $40
Sibling Doula: $400 Many families having a new baby are without trusted family members living locally or even a babysitter who is willing to be “on call” for an extended time while you have your new baby. I am available to care for older brothers & sisters while their parents are focused on bringing the new baby into the world. Whether planning for a home, birth center, or hospital birth, it is much easier to meet the needs of your older children with one person being solely responsible for them.
