CoCo Love Collective

CoCo Love Doulas provides culturally responsive prenatal, birth, and postpartum support for Black and Brown birthing families throughout Contra Costa County and surrounding Bay Area communities. We believe birth is not just a medical event. Birth is emotional, spiritual, cultural, physical, and generational. Our doulas walk with families through pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery with care that is rooted in advocacy, education, rest, and community. At CoCo Love, families are not just clients. They are part of the village.

Who We Serve We walk with families
every step of the way.

CoCo Love supports:

  • Expecting mothers and birthing families.
  • Black and Brown families.
  • Medi-Cal families.
  • Families navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum transitions.
  • Mothers need emotional support, education, advocacy, and community.
  • Fathers, partners, and family support systems.
  • Families needing postpartum stabilization and connection to resources.

We Are Comitted Our Mission Statement

To improve maternal and infant health outcomes by providing culturally responsive, relationship-centered support to Black birthing families throughout pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and key family transitions.

Core Values & Framework: Grounded in a Wealth and Wellness framework. This framework asserts that maternal health outcomes are fundamentally shaped by clinical care, emotional wellness, family stability, community support, access to resources, and trusted relationships.

Pillars of Care Our Approach

CoCo Love uses a village-based model of care. That means we do not only focus on the birth. We focus on the whole family and the full transition into parenthood. Our approach includes education, advocacy, emotional support, cultural connection, and practical resources that help families feel informed, protected, and supported.

Our Growing Impact

In our first year of expanded service, CoCo Love supported dozens of births and served more than 100 families through prenatal education, birth support, postpartum care, group education, lactation referrals, and community-based pillars of support.
