-PAULINE
Born in Los Angeles CA, raised in the SF Bay Area, I am passionate about Community Service and providing support to families. I have over 14 years experience in working most areas between geriatrics and pediatrics. I discovered my calling in birth and postpartum work working as a Nursing Assistant in Postpartum and NICU units.
I am dedicated to providing assistance with the arrival of your newborn by helping to prepare home, light cleaning, meal preparations, physical and spiritual needs. My mission is to make this experience one to remember, making sure you have the necessary tools you will need to navigate through this journey.
I am a Mother of 3 Beautiful adults. I take pleasure in traveling, and outdoor activities.
I enjoy writing, poetry, cooking cultural dishes, and dance. I enjoy music and arts. Being an advocate of love and peace, I truly enjoy every aspect of this life.
"My daughter had a great experience with her birth Doula Pauline Manning. By it being her first time giving birth she made her labor experience the best. She was very supportive, tentative , patient, hands on and gave her a lot of emotional support. Very soothing to her she gave her massages they walked together , She had my daughter do the ball exercises. Accommodated with whatever she needed. I highly recommend Ms. Manning she's the best." - Gaynelle Henderson
"I strongly recommend Pauline Manning. The support that was provided made me feel much more comfortable and confident through my journey into motherhood from the soothing aroma therapy massages, the relaxing music, the coaching on how to breath through every contraction she offered me a place of comfort and assurance." - Sydney Bailey (1st time Mom)
