About Me

Hello Friends! My name is Ludivine— but I go by Lulu 😊

I'm a birth and postpartum Doula who approaches perinatal care holistically. Originally from Paris, I’ve made the Bay Area my home for many years, raising two wonderful young adults and nurturing a life filled with outings in nature, good foods, and meaningful connections.
My journey into this work began through my own very different, but equally transformative, birth experiences (medicated and unmedicated) and, later on, supporting two close friends. Progressively, I started developing the desire, motivation, and passion to support others through that same threshold.

I am passionate about wellness and healthy living in general. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll probably find me hiking in the hills, paddle-boarding in the Bay, meditating or tending to my little balcony garden. I love cooking for my family, spending time in nature, traveling and learning about different cultures. I believe that warmth, curiosity, and kindness are at the heart of good care, and I strive to bring those qualities into everything I do. At my core, I am a loving, caring, and grounded person. I draw strength from my Buddhist practice and my intent to live mindfully. As your doula, I bring that same energy into the birth space: calm, compassionate, and fully-attuned to your unique needs. From our first prenatal meeting through the postpartum period and beyond, my goal ultimately is for You and your family to have the journey that you envision the best, guiding you, amplifying your voice, helping you release your fears and embrace your inner strength, ensuring that You feel held and empowered every step of the way 😊

Regarding my experience, I have worked in many different settings. I am comfortable anywhere. I have been a volunteer Doula at Alta Bates medical center in Berkeley for more than a year where I really enjoy working with a diversified community. I am a Doula with an open heart 💗 and an opened mind and I can work with anyone whose unique core values make them feel magically special ✨
