Maternity with Lina

Hola! My name is Lina Gutiérrez and I am a Berkeley-based CD(DONA) Birth and ICEA Postpartum Doula with over 18 years of experience. For the past five years, I have been supporting families in the Bay Area through their childbirth and parenting journeys. I have dedicated my career to providing comprehensive and compassionate care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I have assisted over 500 births and educated more than 300 families. I help establish healthy sleep and feeding routines for newborns, allowing parents to get some well-deserved sleep!

My training in Colombia and my diverse experiences in the U.S. have allowed me to develop an approach sensitive to the cultural and emotional needs of families. Additionally, I am a CELACMA-certified lactation consultant and a Lamaze International-certified childbirth educator. I speak both English and Spanish. In addition, I have 22 years’ experience teaching various types of yoga and meditation, I founded my own yoga school in Colombia, and I currently teach a Spanish-language yoga class in San Francisco through Integral Yoga Institute. My well-rounded doula services can include yoga classes, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and massage to enhance comfort and well-being. Learn more about my work and philosophy at www.maternitywithlina.com.
