A Familiar Hand in an Unfamiliar Moment
Birth is one of the most profound experiences of your life — and the people who surround you in that space truly matter.
At Graceful Glow, I believe every family deserves a calm, confident presence by their side. Someone who knows the questions to ask, the comfort measures that work, and how to hold space when words aren't enough.
Hi, I’m Jenita a Certified Birth Doula, Postpartum Doula, and Childbirth Educator, based in the
East Bay, California.
I believe that welcoming a baby into the world is one of life’s most beautiful and transformative experiences, and every family deserves to feel supported, informed, and
empowered throughout that journey.
As a doula, I am dedicated to providing compassionate, non-judgmental support to families during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum, period.
Most importantly, I am a mother and grandmother myself. I have walked in your shoes and am honored to walk by your
side now to help you achieve an empowered, supported birth experience.
About Me.
I am trained and certified for birth and postpartum doula care, as well as childbirth and breastfeeding education through the Madriella Doula Network. My certifications reflect a strong commitment to providing compassionate, personalized, and evidence based support to every family I serve. I also hold current certifications in Adult and Infant CPR and Basic Life Support ensuring I am prepared to support families with both care and safety in mind.
My approach is centered on meeting each family where they are—emotionally, physically, and culturally. I strive to create a calm, supportive environment where you feel informed, empowered, and confident in your choices throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Whether you are preparing for your first baby or adding to your family, I am here to provide guidance, encouragement, and hands-on support tailored to your unique needs.

I accept Kaiser and Medi-Cal insurance benefits, and may be able to help you get your care covered using other benefits available through your employer or insurance company.
