Hi, I’m Kendyl—a birth and postpartum doula passionate about supporting new and growing families with inclusive, evidence-based care. I believe that all birth is natural, whether it happens at home, in a hospital, or anywhere in between. My role is to provide nonjudgmental support and up-to-date information so you can feel confident, cared for, and truly seen—no matter what your birth or postpartum journey looks like. I’m married, a parent to a lively toddler, and I find joy in baking and building relationships with the families I serve. My practice is grounded in compassion, respect, and the belief that every family deserves affirming support tailored to their needs. Wherever you are in your journey, I’m here to walk alongside you.

My journey to becoming a doula began when I was present for my niece’s birth in 2008. I was deeply moved and in awe of the process of birth. In 2018, I attended my first Doula training and went on to certify as a Full Spectrum Doula in 2020. I began my work as a birth doula, volunteering for a community organization in Austin. In 2023, I moved to Seattle where I focused exclusively on providing postpartum care. I worked as a postpartum doula through an agency, Seattle Doulas, and then worked for Swedish Hospital Doula Program. I have now relocated to Tucson, Arizona. It’s a privilege for me to be a part of this transformative time in families lives. I am deeply grateful to each family that has welcomed me into their homes and their postpartum experience!

Hi! I’m Marie. I am a Mother, Photographer, Certified Birth & Postpartum Doula, Certified Breastfeeding Counselor & Childbirth educator. My passion lies in the deep-rooted belief that there is an extreme need for birthing families to be thoroughly supported throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. After learning firsthand the immense value of having a doula, as well as a solid understanding and education of pregnancy and childbirth during my own experiences, I was inspired to help new families gain the confidence, comfort, and peace of mind that having the guidance of a doula can provide. I bring the experience of being a nanny for almost 20 years, a special education and early childhood educator in Montessori, as well as being a photographer for 20+ years. I am also trained in Positive Discipline. The skills I have gained by providing these services for others are crucial to the work I do as a doula. By working with many amazing families throughout the years, I have learned how to anticipate the needs of others and make myself available to them accordingly, which directly relates to my nurturing personality. I believe this is vital for a doula to possess. My clients rely on my peaceful, compassionate, loving, supportive nature to help them feel empowered, informed, and ready for this beautiful new journey. I currently reside in my hometown of Tucson, AZ after living in San Diego for 20 years. On my time off you can find me enjoying my time with my family, hiking, camping, working in the garden or just about anything that gets me outside and enjoying this beautiful planet we live on.
