Certified Birth Doula · California
Guiding you through one of life's most profound journeys — with compassion, expertise, and unwavering support.
Welcome! I'm Netali Adiel, a certified birth doula dedicated to walking alongside families through the transformative journey of childbirth. With a deep passion for nurturing parents and a commitment to providing evidence-based, compassionate care, I am here to surround you with reassurance and care every step of the way.
As a mother of three raising my family right here in the San Francisco Bay Area, I know firsthand how profound and beautifully unpredictable the path to parenthood can be. My goal is to help you explore and realize your wishes for your birth, while offering a calm, steady presence to help you navigate any unexpected twists and turns with peace of mind.
Whether you are preparing to welcome your very first baby or adding another precious branch to your growing family, you deserve to feel deeply safe, thoroughly informed, and fully supported throughout your pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience.
Let's embark on this beautiful journey together, side by side.
Every family's journey is unique. I provide personalized, evidence-based support tailored to your needs and birth vision.
Two to three in-depth prenatal visits to discuss your birth preferences, prepare you emotionally and physically, and answer all your questions.
Continuous on-call support from early labor through delivery. Physical comfort techniques, emotional encouragement, and advocacy every step of the way.
A dedicated follow-up visit after birth to support newborn care, breastfeeding, and help you process and celebrate your birth experience.
Thoughtful guidance in creating a comprehensive birth plan that clearly communicates your wishes to your medical team.
Research consistently shows that continuous labor support from a trained doula improves outcomes for both birthing people and babies — reducing interventions, shortening labor, and increasing satisfaction.
But beyond statistics, having a doula means you are never alone. Someone who knows your birth plan, holds your hand, reminds you of your strength, and speaks your wishes when you need it most.

Firsthand accounts from families who have experienced the compassionate and expert care that Netali provides.
During my pregnancy, finding the right doula was challenging until I connected with Netali Adiel. From our first phone call, she provided a sense of security and professionalism that was unmatched. Her extensive experience, genuine positivity, and humor made the preparation meetings incredibly valuable. Netali was always available, even in the middle of the night. During the birth, which lasted over 30 hours, she was a constant source of support, never leaving our side. Her dedication and warmth made all the difference, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional, loving, and supportive doula.
Netali was a charm. We booked with her relatively in the last minute, and I'm so glad we did. She was there for us in a video call during the whole night when I had contractions at home. She popped out chapstick when I most wanted it but couldn't say, and magically brought a head pad to my back when it was the right moment. After she managed my nervous jokes, indecisiveness, pain, my fears, my tears, my husband's needs — by the time it was time to push I felt like I've known her for years. I am so thankful.
Couldn't have done it without her! From the very beginning, Netali was the epitome of professionalism, always prepared and organized. What truly set her apart was her deep knowledge of the healthcare system — she helped us navigate decisions and advocate for ourselves, which was invaluable in those overwhelming moments. During labor, she knew exactly what I needed, whether it was massaging my back or simply the space to focus with my husband. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!
We had an amazing experience with Natalie, starting from our prenatal meetings, through the birth itself, and also at the postpartum visit. Since this was our third birth, we mostly needed someone to help mediate between us and the medical staff — in the end, Natalie was exactly what we were looking for, and so much more. She arrived with a big smile, calm and positive energy, and coffee. She knew exactly when to step in and support us, and just as importantly, when to step back. We truly feel lucky to have had Natalie with us and recommend her wholeheartedly!
Thank you so much for your patience, your professionalism, and your wonderful containment. You were amazing the whole way with my niece and the family (who were not easy, patient and calm). Thanks to you, she had an amazing, empowering, exciting, and above all calm and pleasant experience. Thank you for being there every step, caressing and comforting. Thank you so much and a huge hug.
Netali, none of this is taken for granted. Your giving… it is truly obvious that you do this profession from the bottom of your heart. Truly, after being so scared to give birth because I heard so many bad things about the experience, I went through it in a way that I have nothing bad to say. You were attentive, you supported and contained me in a perfect way! From someone who was afraid to give birth, I am now waiting for my next birth — and that is thanks to you.
Dear Netali, I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support during my daughter's birth. You were kind, sensitive, and pleasant all along the way, and you gave me a sense of confidence and calm at such a significant moment in my life. I truly appreciate your support and your warm approach. Thank you so much for everything.
