SUMMER RESET

Caitlin is taking a short break this summer to rejuvenate, spend time with friends and family, and take a closer look at the path of Together Birth & Body. Thank you for such a beautiful year of community and growth, and I look forward to sharing my new offers that align with my vision and best serve my community. While my calendar is inaccessible and I have limited availability to see clients during the month of July, I always love hearing from you and am happy to support you when I can. Please do not hesitate to reach out via email by clicking the button below. From my family to yours, have the most amazing summer!

I am so happy you’re here.

Together Birth & Body is the private practice of Caitlin Breen, a pre & postnatal doula, massage therapist, and yoga instructor.

Caitlin offers embodied education for pregnancy and birth through prenatal yoga, massage, and workshops. While facts and data are important, there are other ways of "knowing". Together Birth & Body gets you out of your head and into your body for the kinesthetic, sensory experience of pregnancy, birth, and parenting.

Our Values

  • CONNECTION

    We don’t want to just “get through” this time, but deeply connect to it. Slow down, be present and connect to your body, your baby, your partner, and your community.

  • COMMUNITY

    We believe in bringing people together. Find your people and build your village, because nobody should do this alone. We are all in this together.

  • COLLABORATION

    Just like you can’t do it alone, neither can we. No drama or competition in our business, just support and collaboration among perinatal professionals that want the best care for you and your family.

WE LOVE YOUR FAMILY

Together Birth & Body celebrates all families and actively works toward a just, free, and loving world for all. I see you and stand with you. I work for YOU and denounce systems that contribute to oppression, violence, or hate based on race, religion, ethnicity, or gender identity. My mission as a business and a person are to:

  • increase access to supportive care

  • reduce harm and contribute to collective healing

  • uplift and collaborate with those in my community who are already doing amazing work in centering reproductive, birth, and postpartum justice.

About Caitlin

Meet Caitlin Breen, a pre & postnatal doula, massage therapist, and yoga instructor who was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Hello families, I am so happy you’re here.

I was lucky to be raised in a big family full of unofficial doulas; grandmas, aunts, and cousins would regularly attend each others' births and offer support with postpartum meals, baby showers, and lactation tips. This work is in my blood.

After attending massage therapy school in 2008 and yoga teacher training in 2009, I felt the call to take a DONA doula training and hone my skills as a birth and bodyworker.

In becoming a mother to two beautiful daughters, I was hit with a deep appreciation for the wisdom passed down to me from my family about what it really means to be a doula. Movement and massage are the tools I use, but community and connection are at the heart of my work. I look forward to connecting with each and every one of you and am thrilled to be in community​ with you during this special time.

    Gary, Bay Area
