Full Spectrum Doula Services . Embodied Childbirth Education . Counseling and Archetypal Astrology
Hi, I’m Verana Faye.
I am here to remind you what you already know deep in your belly, deep in your bones. I am here to walk beside you, to help guide you through this time, and invite you home. I believe in you and all the life you carry inside.
I am a full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, and archetypal astrologer. I am the owner of Embody Your Birth, and based out of Marin County and the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. I am a dancer, poet, and songwriter, and I am devoted to walking this Earth with integrity, imagination, and liberation.
My work as a doula and astrologer are deeply interconnected as I feel guided by the collective dream for whole and healthy families, relationships, and communities with one another and with the earth as well as the individual’s search for and exploration of purpose, power, and meaning. I walk beside my clients and students, whether in the labor room, the classroom, or in the exploration of the natal chart, creating safe and brave spaces where empowerment, capacity, and deep inner trust can emerge.

My readings are intimate journeys and conversations with Self, Relationship, Power, and Purpose. I meet you where you are in your journey of life and I help you see the ways the planets are guiding your way and how to participate in ways that are empowering and life giving. I also read charts for NewBorns and absolutely LOVE this part of my work.
“Working with Verana at Embody Your Birth is like having an artist connect the dots among the various parts of yourself, and then add in bright colors so the picture becomes fully alive and deeply human.”

Working With Verana
I cannot say enough about how wonderful my experience was with Verana! I am at a point in my life where I need and want to completely reinvent myself. She provided the good vibes, the information, the empathy and the encouragement I needed to feel hopeful about my journey. At the end of the session, I felt seen, understood and supported about the endeavors in front of me.

“Verana is a gifted doula and astrologer! She provided some helpful advice and techniques for us prior to our birth, and was a huge support afterwards as well. The astrology component especially is cool. We got a super reading for the three of us that felt really dead on. We very much enjoyed meeting and working with her, and look forward to doing so again in the future.”
— A and K, parents of Owyn
“I’m a first time mom and it was so helpful having someone guide me and my husband through this new experience - I felt prepared and excited for labor thanks to her words of encouragement. Verana also expertly guided us through the labor and early postpartum days with her positivity, knowledge, and non-judgmental approach. We are forever grateful to her.”
— O, Mother of Baby Rocco
