CLASS DESCRIPTION

This support circle is for both seasoned and new birth & postpartum doulas. Sharing information and experiences is a great way for us to give well-rounded support to our clients and take care of ourselves as doulas.

Join us for a monthly meet up every third Thursday of the month where we will connect to discuss a variety of topics related to both the professional and personal sides of our work.

-This may include any number of the following topics:
-Talking about how to drum up business
-How to incorporate self-care
-How to talk with clients about sensitive topics

Facilitator:

Alice Knowlton is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and somatic practitioner with over ten years of experience supporting individuals, families, groups, and communities. In her private practice, she blends talk therapy and body-based approaches to help clients navigate challenges, connect with their inner resources, and create lasting change.

Her work recently expanded into birthwork after her twin sister asked her to be her doula—a request that opened her eyes to the profound joys, challenges, and complexities of birth. Now in ongoing training as a birth doula, she is passionate about advocating for babies, parents, families, and the birthworkers who serve them, including doulas, midwives, and other perinatal and postpartum professionals. In addition to facilitating a Doula Processing Support Group, she offers somatic integration sessions for birthworkers needing to process overwhelming or traumatic birth experiences—creating space for both celebration and healing in the often life-altering work of supporting and witnessing birth.
Cecilia Platt is a mom and a postpartum doula in San Francisco. Originally from Sonora, Mexico, she moved to the Bay Area in 2012. She's been working with babies and families for 20 years, starting out as an infant nanny. In 2016, she dove into the world of pregnancy and childbirth through a Prenatal Yoga TT. Inspired by this, she pursued training as both a birth doula and a postpartum doula, slowly starting her doula journey while also working as a Family Assistant. Cecilia is currently part of the postpartum doula team at Golden Gate Doula Associates and recently finished her second postpartum doula training at Natural Resources.

Muneeza Patel is a birth and postpartum doula. "My journey to supporting parents through their birth and postpartum experiences has been unconventional. With several years spent in management consulting at McKinsey & Co and leadership roles at health-tech startups, I have always been drawn to the maternal health space. In early 2024, I transitioned to becoming a doula, aiming to offer holistic support to parents during this pivotal time. My practice integrates the three core elements of care I believe are paramount: rest, body work, and good nutrition. In addition to that, I also incorporate exercises to support the transition back to work. By facilitating the Natural Resources doula circle, I hope to support fellow doulas on their own professional paths, and foster a community where we can exchange insights and enhance our collective knowledge for the well-being of the families we serve."
