Ronit April: Birth Doula • Postpartum Care • Massage Therapy

Placenta heart of a baby girl born last night… a very quick second labor. Momma was ready to push, using her body to move the baby down and out…
Labor started in the afternoon, but she continued with her day and evening, making sure Kid #1 was settled for the night.
After that, she was ready for baby #2.
At L&D at 9:15 pm, her water broke at 9:43, and the baby was born at 11:05 pm 💫
It’s awe-inspiring to witness labor like that—a full-body experience, connected to her baby through her breath and her will… 🐣
Sometimes my doula work happens quickly 😍

Sometimes the next step in birth is not doing more. It is creating more space. 🌿

Spinning Babies® is a body-based approach that helps your baby find a better position by first supporting your body. Through gentle bodywork, movement, and positioning, we focus on the pelvis, hips, and soft tissue so things can shift naturally.

This work can be especially supportive if your baby is breech, if your body feels tight or uncomfortable, or if you simply want to prepare in a more connected, intentional way. 🤍

“Balance before force” is at the heart of this practice. When the body is supported, birth can unfold differently.

Those first weeks after your baby arrives can feel like everything at once. Beautiful, exhausting, emotional, and unfamiliar. 🤍

You are learning your baby. Your body is healing. Your life is shifting. And you are not meant to carry all of that alone.

As a postpartum doula, I step into your home to create steadiness. I support feeding, newborn care, meals, rest, and the emotional waves that come with this transition. I also help you notice patterns, build confidence, and find a rhythm that works for your family. 🌿

This kind of support changes how postpartum feels. It gives you space to recover, connect, and settle into this new chapter with more ease.

Your body is doing something incredible. It is also carrying a lot. 🌿

Heart & Womb Birth Bodywork is designed to meet your body where it is and support what it is being asked to hold. This is not just relaxation. It is intentional, skilled bodywork that works with your belly, pelvis, and breath to create more space, ease, and balance for both you and your baby.

Many clients come in feeling tight, uncomfortable, or disconnected and leave feeling softer, more aligned, and more aware of how their body and baby are working together. 🤍

If you are navigating discomfort, preparing for labor, or simply wanting to feel more at home in your body during pregnancy, this work can make a real difference.

Birth is unpredictable. Preparation does not mean controlling it. It means walking in feeling supported, informed, and connected to your body. 🌿

My role as a birth doula begins long before labor. Together we explore your birth preferences, practice comfort techniques, and prepare your partner so they know how to support you when things get intense. We work with movement, positioning, massage, and body awareness so you have tools that actually help when labor begins. 🤍

When the day arrives, I stay with you. I support communication with your care team, offer hands-on bodywork and positioning techniques, and help you stay grounded in your choices as labor unfolds. ✨

Support continues after your baby arrives too, with feeding guidance, postpartum follow up, and resources if you need them. 🍼

I work with families giving birth throughout the Bay Area including hospitals, birth centers, and home births.

If you are looking for calm, experienced, body-based support for your birth, I would love to connect.

Sometimes birth becomes easier when the body finds better balance.

Spinning Babies® focuses on helping your body create the space your baby needs to move into an optimal position for birth. Through bodywork, movement, and simple techniques, we support your pelvis, muscles, and ligaments so baby can settle more comfortably.

This work can be especially helpful for breech babies, slow labor progress, or simply preparing your body for birth in a more balanced way.

Gentle. Body-based. Practical.

If you are pregnant and want to support optimal baby positioning before labor begins, I would love to work with you
