Service Area

My in person services are offered in and around San Francisco on a mobile, in-home* basis, meaning I offer my services at my clients' homes or offices, or, for Birth Doula services, that also includes the clients' chosen birthing locations. (Other locations may be available in special circumstances.) Note: There may be travel charges to provide service outside of my normal service area. Please see my Rates pages for details.

I also offer many of my services virtually via video and/or phone.

*If Shelter-In-Place Orders are in effect for public safety, with the exception of my hands-on offerings, all of my services may be offered virtually via video and/or phone. Hands-on bodywork / massage offerings will be suspended until authorities have lifted the Shelter-In-Place Order and declared it safe to provide massage services.

Benefits of In-Home
(when in person care is safe)

As a Birth Doula, I typically support my clients in person on a mobile, in-home basis. Offering all of my other in-person services on an in-home basis benefits my clients by allowing them to:

avoid the time, hassle, & expense of driving and parking
use that time and energy for more rewarding activities (such as integration, rest, other self-care, family time, etc.)
