Cari Anderson
I am a postpartum doula serving the areas of Santa Barbara and Ventura county.
Welcoming a new baby is a such a precious time, and it is so fleeting. I want to support you so you can soak it in and enjoy this sacred moment. My goal is to help you move through this transition with light, levity, and joy. It is a privilege to be there for you in this moment.
All my life I have been around babies and small children. Growing up as one of nine children, I was constantly surrounded by babies with all my nieces and nephews. I knew what it took to be a supportive family member. I raised two beautiful children of my own in the Santa Monica Mountains. I have worked as an educator in preschools in both Ojai and Topanga Canyon. I have completed DONA postpartum training.
