My own low-intervention, birth center birth attended by midwives, and working as a doula, validated my desire to become a midwife. I recognized how hard it is to attend births with a little one at home. Since I had a young family,  I chose the slow path to midwifery. I focus my career on breastfeeding and lactation support, health education, and nutrition. I raised my daughter in Tucson, Arizona, where I also attended the University of Arizona, earning a BS in Community Health Science and an MPH in Family Child Health\/Global Health. I became an IBCLC in 2007, and I still hold this certification. Eventually, when my daughter graduated from high school in 2014, I  moved to California and attended the Nurse-Midwifery program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).\nI have worked in Family Child Health professions for over 20 years. I worked at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) - Newborn Connections as a lactation consultant from 2014 to 2020. During my time in midwifery school, I had the privilege of working in Women’s and Children’s Services at many Bay Area hospitals, including UCSF Mission Bay, Zuckerberg San Francisco General, Kaiser San Francisco, Stanford, Sutter Mission Bernal, Mt Zion Women’s Health Clinic, and Highland Hospital in Oakland. Through the years, my professional roles have included Doula, Health Educator, Early Childhood Health and Nutrition Director, Public Health Consultant, Lactation Consultant, Nurse Practitioner, and Midwife. I have experience working with national programs aimed at improving health outcomes for families and children,  including CenteringPregnancy® Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, Communities Putting Prevention to Work, Head Start, and the Women Infant and Child’s (WIC) programs, Currently I serve as the President of the California Nurse Midwives Association (CNMA), doing what I can to support policy and practice for women’s health and midwifery care in California and nationally.\nI find joy in working with a diverse population and have a special interest in improving health outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). As a BIPOC person, I understand the importance of racially concordant care. I strive to bring a humble approach to the communities I serve. As a compassionate health care provider, I provide highly effective, personalized emotional and physical support and gender-affirming care to people of all ages and stages of life, including pre- and postmenopausal, pregnant, and postpartum. My goal is to improve health outcomes for families and communities in the Bay Area. I enjoy spending time with my family. I live with my husband, Aaron, and my niece, Nora. My 18-month-old granddaughter, Dakota, lives in Arizona with my daughter, Lily, and we visit each other often. In our free time, we love cruising around San Francisco Bay in our sailboat. I also enjoy gardening and making herbal teas, salves, and remedies. I like to cook, dance, and spend quality time with friends.\n \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Nile Nash  MSN, RN, WHNP-BC, CNM is a mama of two little boys and currently offers postpartum midwifery care packages and sleep consultations.

My own low-intervention, birth center birth attended by midwives, and working as a doula, validated my desire to become a midwife. I recognized how hard it is to attend births with a little one at home. Since I had a young family,  I chose the slow path to midwifery. I focus my career on breastfeeding and lactation support, health education, and nutrition. I raised my daughter in Tucson, Arizona, where I also attended the University of Arizona, earning a BS in Community Health Science and an MPH in Family Child Health\/Global Health. I became an IBCLC in 2007, and I still hold this certification. Eventually, when my daughter graduated from high school in 2014, I  moved to California and attended the Nurse-Midwifery program at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).\nI have worked in Family Child Health professions for over 20 years. I worked at California Pacific Medical Center (CPMC) - Newborn Connections as a lactation consultant from 2014 to 2020. During my time in midwifery school, I had the privilege of working in Women’s and Children’s Services at many Bay Area hospitals, including UCSF Mission Bay, Zuckerberg San Francisco General, Kaiser San Francisco, Stanford, Sutter Mission Bernal, Mt Zion Women’s Health Clinic, and Highland Hospital in Oakland. Through the years, my professional roles have included Doula, Health Educator, Early Childhood Health and Nutrition Director, Public Health Consultant, Lactation Consultant, Nurse Practitioner, and Midwife. I have experience working with national programs aimed at improving health outcomes for families and children,  including CenteringPregnancy® Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative, Communities Putting Prevention to Work, Head Start, and the Women Infant and Child’s (WIC) programs, Currently I serve as the President of the California Nurse Midwives Association (CNMA), doing what I can to support policy and practice for women’s health and midwifery care in California and nationally.\nI find joy in working with a diverse population and have a special interest in improving health outcomes for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). As a BIPOC person, I understand the importance of racially concordant care. I strive to bring a humble approach to the communities I serve. As a compassionate health care provider, I provide highly effective, personalized emotional and physical support and gender-affirming care to people of all ages and stages of life, including pre- and postmenopausal, pregnant, and postpartum. My goal is to improve health outcomes for families and communities in the Bay Area. I enjoy spending time with my family. I live with my husband, Aaron, and my niece, Nora. My 18-month-old granddaughter, Dakota, lives in Arizona with my daughter, Lily, and we visit each other often. In our free time, we love cruising around San Francisco Bay in our sailboat. I also enjoy gardening and making herbal teas, salves, and remedies. I like to cook, dance, and spend quality time with friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBriana Tejuco \u003c\/strong\u003eis a wife, mother of three boys and an active community advocate.

You’ll hear six to eight months old is an optimal time to start signing with your baby. After babies are six months old, they are starting to associate words with the world around them. That's language whether spoken or gestured. Their long-term memory is developmentally ready to retain the signs they see. At six months of age babies’ motor skills and hand-eye coordination are at a stage to be able to make more precise gestures. Having said this,\u003ci\u003e it’s perfectly fine to start earlier than six months old\u003c\/i\u003e. That way you will be ready with a solid signing vocabulary when your baby is six months old! Start building your baby sign language skills today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTwo reasons why we suggest parents start early on:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. We’ve found the younger the baby is the easier it is for parents to pay attention in class. Older babies often demand more attention during class and pull the parent’s focus away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2. Many parents are very interested in learning baby sign language however they end up going back to work when their baby is four months old at which point they don’t have the time to attend the classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s worthwhile to note that many Deaf parents sign with their babies from birth. Their babies generally sign back significantly earlier than babies in hearing families do. The only caveat is that when you start signing with a very young baby and you don't see any results, don't give up. Be patient and remember that receptive language comes before expressive language whether it's signed or verbal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhen does a baby start to sign back to you?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you start signing regularly to babies when they're under seven months of age you can reasonably expect them to sign back when they’re between eight and ten months old. It really depends on how often you sign with them and it also depends on your baby’s personal agenda. Yes, every baby has their own agenda and, much like their first step or the day they are potty trained, they ultimately are the ones that decide when they are ready to start signing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAre babies required to attend class?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBabies are welcome. However, babies are not required to to attend class. If your baby is napping or cranky, it is perfectly fine to come without your baby because we are teaching you, the parents, American sign language. At this stage of the game, the babies are just along for the ride. We call these classes \"playgroups\" not because the babies are playing; It's you, the grown-ups that are playing, having fun growing your vocabulary and sign language skills, using the signs with interactive games and songs. If anyone has a really active toddler on the move it is fine to attend sans child so that you can focus on the ASL lesson plans. That being said, we can handle active toddlers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is a link to Bill's \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.happybabysigns.com\/faqs.html\"\u003eFAQ page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab3\" style=\"display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003c!--This is the Facilitator(s) section (This line is just a signpost; please don’t edit.)--\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"ignore\"\u003eFacilitator(s)\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBill White\u003c\/b\u003e received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychobiology from University of California, Santa Cruz.

She supports mothers through the many emotional and mental challenges that come with modern motherhood—whether during pregnancy, postpartum, or in the daily juggle of parenting, identity, and work-life demands. Christina works with clients navigating overwhelm, burnout, and the invisible weight of the mental load, helping them reconnect with themselves and find strategies that truly support their well-being. As a mother of two young boys herself, Christina brings both clinical expertise and lived experience to her work. She understands how easy it can be to feel isolated, stretched thin, or not quite like yourself. Her clients often come to her feeling anxious, on edge, or unsure whether what they’re experiencing is “normal” or something more like postpartum anxiety or depression. Her message is clear: you don’t have to figure it out alone. Christina’s approach is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. She creates a space where mothers can be honest without judgment and focus on their needs - whether that means processing difficult emotions, shifting unhelpful patterns, or rediscovering a sense of self beyond motherhood. Clinically, Christina integrates psychodynamic, attachment-based, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), ACT, and EMDR approaches, all within a client-centered, strengths-based framework. She also embraces a matricentric lens, which centers the voices and needs of mothers in the therapeutic process and honors the complexity of motherhood. If you’re ready to make space for yourself and your needs, Christina would be honored to support you.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Christina Klein, LMFT, PMH-C","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43154048024685,"sku":null,"price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/9103\/8317\/files\/Grouptherapyflyer1_1.png?v=1759531691"},{"product_id":"homebirth-prep-intensive-3-day-in-person","title":"Homebirth Prep Intensive 3-day: In-Person","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: none;\" class=\"tabz\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab1\"\u003e CLASS DESCRIPTION \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003e DETAILS \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003e FACILITATOR(S) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe non-member rate for this 3-Day Intensive is $250 and the member rate is $220.

The last few years have been consumed by birthing and raising two little ones during the pandemic and tending to her family. The newest chapter of her calling as a midwife has focused Nile’s professional role on the fourth trimester postpartum period. Mama Lion now cares for families who birth in the hospital but have the wisdom to set up a postpartum plan. Nile is thrilled to be working with the Natural Resources family as the newest facilitator of the New Mothers Circle and the Pregnant Together Circle. www.mamalion.org\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nile Nash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43242975789165,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0286\/9103\/8317\/products\/meet-the-midwives-virtual-the-san-francisco-homebirth-collective.png?v=1658793412"},{"product_id":"childbirth-prep-intensive-3-day-in-person-spanish","title":"Entrelazado: Clase Prenatal de Preparación para un Parto Armonioso","description":"\u003c!--Start tab labels--\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: none;\" class=\"tabz\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab1\"\u003e CLASS DESCRIPTION \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab2\"\u003e DETAILS \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"display: inline;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"#tab3\"\u003e FACILITATOR(S) \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThe non-member rate for this 3-Day Intensive is $429 and the member rate is $343.
