Support for the early days of parenthood.

Hi, I'm Chelsea Matthews!

Chelsea Matthews - Doula


Your journey as a new parent deserves to be met with compassion, confidence, and respect. Whether you’re preparing for your first baby or expanding your family, having a trusted San Francisco doula that honors your choices can make all the difference.

At Early Days Doula, you’ll find a blend of evidence-based care and warm, nonjudgmental guidance designed to help you feel informed, empowered, and truly supported during this transformative time. Whether it’s navigating newborn care, offering a calm and steady presence, or providing hands-on help, I’m here for you.

I support all families, and proudly specialize in inclusive, affirming support for LGBTQ families. I offer postpartum doula services, as well as lactation education, tailored to your unique needs. My doula practice is rooted in community advocacy and a genuine joy in nurturing new families, bringing together empowerment and grounding for your individual path.

It would be my honor to help make your early days of parenthood feel a little lighter.
