California Perinatal Wellness

Supporting You Every Step of the Journey

California Perinatal Wellness is a nonprofit organization that provides direct support to families during pregnancy, postpartum, and early parenthood. Our services include counseling, perinatal coaching, and doula support, all grounded in mental wellness and emotional well-being.

What makes our approach unique is that mental wellness is embedded into every service we provide. We understand that pregnancy, birth, and parenting affect more than physical health. Emotional well-being, relationships, confidence, and connection are equally important. Whether a family is receiving counseling, working with a perinatal coach, or partnering with a doula, our goal is to help them feel supported, informed, empowered, and cared for throughout their journey.

We believe that caring for families means supporting the whole person. Whether you are preparing for birth, adjusting to life with a new baby, or navigating challenges along the way, our team is here to provide compassionate, family-centered support.

California's Perinatal Hub

Expanding Support Through Connection

California's Perinatal Hub was created to expand the support available to families by bringing together trusted community organizations, healthcare providers, public agencies, advocates, and family-serving partners.

While California Perinatal Wellness provides direct services, California's Perinatal Hub helps families discover and connect with a broader network of resources, programs, events, support groups, and services available throughout the community. We believe that no single organization can meet every family's needs. By working together, we can expand access to care, strengthen community connections, and provide more comprehensive support for families.

Through collaboration, resource sharing, and community partnerships, California's Perinatal Hub helps families find the right support at the right time while strengthening the overall network of care available to pregnant and parenting families.

Together, we can offer more than any one organization can provide alone.

Perinatal Coaching

The fertility journey, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and early parenting can bring both joy and unexpected challenges. A Perinatal Coach provides personalized support, guidance, encouragement, and practical resources to help families feel informed, confident, and connected throughout their journey. A Perinatal Coach can also support you through hardships such as bereavement.

Perinatal coaching programs typically range from $50 to $100+ per hour, depending on the level of support and services provided. The good news is that many health plans now offer coverage for perinatal support services, which may help reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs.

At California Perinatal Wellness, we help families explore available benefits and connect with the support they need, because every family deserves compassionate care during pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Questions about coverage or services? We are here to help you understand your options and find the support that is right for your family.
