Arrieanna

I’m Arrieanna—certified birth and postpartum doula, owner of San Mateo Doula, and someone who truly believes that support should feel like a soft landing, not a checklist.

Since 2018, I’ve been walking with families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum season with calm, care, and a little bit of humor when it’s needed most.

My approach is rooted in presence. That means listening before advising, honoring your choices, and offering tools that help you feel more confident—not more overwhelmed.

I don’t believe in one “right” way to give birth or recover from it.
I believe in your way—and in making sure you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Some days that looks like hands-on support and helping you breathe through a contraction.
Other days it’s warming a heat pack, holding space while you process, or texting you back at 2AM when you’re wondering if what you’re feeling is normal.

I’m here for all of it.
For the transformation. For the tears. For the strength that doesn’t always look how you expected it to.

The goal? That you feel informed, supported, and never judged. That you leave this experience not just having made it through—but having been witnessed, cared for, and trusted along the way.
