In 2014, after having my own home birth with a midwife, I knew that I wanted to help expectant families experience the same empowered and supported birthing journey that I did. As a dedicated doula in San Jose, I am committed to ensuring that you and your partner have the skills needed for the most positive birth experience possible. I enjoy exploring and researching ways to provide continuous support, using evidence-based information so you can make informed decisions during your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.
I proudly support families across the South Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco, and East Bay areas, including those looking for postpartum support or sibling doula services. I am 100% vaccinated and boosted.

Pregnancy Prep: Tracking you and your baby’s health throughout your pregnancy is vital. During prenatal visits, we’ll chat about any pregnancy concerns, develop a birthing plan, and meet in person to discuss comfort measures.
Labor and Birth Prep: Having a baby should be a positive experience, so my main focus as your doula is to create a safe and comfortable environment for you to bring your baby into the world and begin bonding immediately.
Postpartum and Newborn Care: My job as your doula isn’t done once delivery is over. I will stay in close contact with you after your birth to provide any assistance you need for healthy development.

Breastfeeding an infant can be challenging, but I am here to help. In this session, I will come to your home to discuss any breastfeeding concerns you may have.

The Body Ready Method™ is founded on five essential pillars: Upper Body Mobility, Core, Pelvis, Pelvic Floor, and Movement Patterns. Incorporating these pillars into your movement during pregnancy can significantly enhance your experience, helping you achieve a more efficient birth, minimize pregnancy-related aches and pains, optimize recovery, and reduce unnecessary abdominal separation and pelvic floor dysfunction. Additionally, this approach enhances pelvic floor responsiveness and promotes the idea of working smarter, not harder!

I can assist you in addressing and alleviating pregnancy-related discomforts. My goal is to help you experience a smooth transition into recovery and postpartum.

Sheryll was such a source of comfort and support when I had my first baby. As a knowledgeable doula, she eased my worries about gestational diabetes and the potential complications that my doctors were stressing me about. Sheryll's incredible wealth of knowledge regarding childbirth made her the perfect doula for my needs. Any little question I brought to her, she had a thoughtful answer for. She even went the extra mile and made me lactation cookies when my milk supply ran low! I would highly recommend Sheryll to anyone looking for a doula in San Jose or those seeking sibling doula services.
Sheryll was an amazing doula in San Jose 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, is SUPER down to earth, and has 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, and we had a great postpartum follow-up that was really helpful for processing everything. Overall, I'd strongly recommend Sheryll for anyone seeking doula services! I plan on working with her again for any future pregnancies!
Sheryl was absolutely amazing as my doula. She gave me the utmost confidence for birth and made me feel very comfortable asking questions and voicing my concerns. She provided me with the best advice on how to push, which is crucial in the birthing process! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. She’s a 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, I will definitely reach out to you for my next baby :)!
I found out I was pregnant in May of last year and started asking around for Doula recommendations in the San Jose area. A friend of mine suggested Golden Gate Doulas, where I met Sheryll. She is absolutely the sweetest and incredibly knowledgeable. Her support and guidance made everything easier, and I'm so grateful to her. Sheryll 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!
