Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Burien, WA

Hi! My name is Katie and I am. Momma to one nugget. I believe that everyone should have access to a doula and that every birthing person should get to decide how, where, and with whom they birth. Birth is a remarkable process. I am honored to witness the power and to provide support to people throughout pregnancy and labor.

Hi, I’m McKenna! I’m a full spectrum doula providing birth, postpartum, and family support to folks in the Seattle area. I focus on meeting people where they are at and helping to optimize care and support that is tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I completed my initial doula training through Birthing Advocacy Doula Trainings in 2020 and have since completed an additional birth doula training at Bastyr as well as numerous other continued education trainings including Spinning Babies, a Lactation Educator training, and a Body Ready Method training.

Hi! I’m Jaya Mallik (she/her), a birth and postpartum doula in Maple Valley, WA, where I live with my husband, Nathan, and our two daughters, Asha and Diya. My journey into doula work began with my own birth experiences. After an emergency first birth and postpartum depression, I found healing during my second birth with the support of a culturally aligned doula who empowered me and honored my values. Her guidance inspired me to provide the same compassionate care to others. As a Woman of Color and current DEI practitioner, I’m committed to addressing healthcare inequities and ensuring every birthing person feels empowered and supported through this transformative journey.

I’m a Seattle-based birth and postpartum doula trained through DONA International. I believe support should feel calm, steady, and deeply human. My role is to support you. Not to direct your choices, but to offer presence, reassurance, and a listening ear when it matters most. Whether you're preparing for birth or navigating the early days with your baby, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and cared for through every stage of your journey.

Hello I have been a birth doula for 5 years. I am a vet, mom of 7 and an Army wife. I love bonding and watching moms experience true empowerment in the birth room no matter what that looks like to them.

HI I’m Vanessa, Bronx-born, now based in WA, and I’m passionate about supporting, educating, and empowering families through one of the most important moments of their lives: birth. As an Afro-Latina birth doula and spiritual healer, I believe birth deserves to be treated with care, respect, advocacy, and real support; not fear or pressure. I completed my Birth Doula Workshop Training through the Simkin Center at Bastyr University in July 2023, where I gained the hands-on training and knowledge to support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum care. My approach is equal parts nurturing and no-nonsense. I’m here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and heard every step of the way. Whether that means helping you navigate the hospital system, offering emotional support during labor, providing comfort measures, or simply reminding you that your voice matters. I’m in your corner. Always. I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. Every parent deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered while bringing life into this world. My role is to hold space for you, advocate for you when needed, and help you move through this experience with confidence, strength, and peace of mind. At the end of the day, I bring both heart and real-life energy into this work. I’m not just here to “look supportive” in the background. I’m here to support you for real. We’re going to get through this together.

I am a married mother of 3 and understand that moms need support. My heart is geared towards the emotional support and well being of new and expectant parents. So you don't feel alone.

Hi there! I am so happy that you’re here! My name is Jess (Jessica) and I am a Professionally Trained Birth Doula through ToLabor (formerly known as ALACE). I am extremely passionate about helping you create the birthing experience that you envision! I am very lighthearted by nature and am able to uplift and provide positive assurance during critical moments. I want to make sure that you feel supported, comfortable, informed and heard throughout your pregnancy journey, start to finish. This is one of the most important and wonderful, yet stressful times in your life, and you should have someone experienced by your side to lend a helping hand when you need it the most!

Hi! I’m Savitri, a full-spectrum doula with a diverse background in supporting families. My experience includes working as an infant teacher, substitute teacher, and nanny. I’m currently working toward my doula certification, and my long-term goal is to become an OBGYN nurse or nurse-midwife. I approach my work with compassion and without judgment. I believe you are the expert on your own needs and I’m here to offer support as you navigate the journey of parenthood. Outside of my work, I love creating art such as, drawing and ceramics. I also love capturing moments through film photography. When I am not making art, I am running or practicing ballet. I’d be honored to support you and your family!

I believe birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, transformative experience, and the way you are supported matters. As a birth doula, my role is to provide steady, evidence-based support while centering you: your preferences, your intuition, and your sense of safety. I support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period with calm presence, clear information, and compassionate advocacy. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported every step of the way. I work with all birth settings and outcomes — hospital births, unmedicated or medicated labors, planned or unplanned cesareans — and I meet each family where they are, without judgment. My approach is grounded in current evidence, emotional attunement, and the understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth — only what is right for you. Clients often tell me they feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better prepared after working together. I aim to be a steady presence you can lean on — someone who helps you understand your options, supports your partner, and creates space for you to stay connected to your body and your baby. If you’re looking for a doula who is calm, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in your experience — I would be honored to support you.

Hello! My name is Alex Lanphear and I’m a birth doula based in Redmond, WA. I've been a caretaker and fiery activist since I could walk. I believe birth is the most magical thing in the world, and pride myself on being a guiding light for new families wanting to navigate the birthing path with confidence. I believe that parents deserve to feel the magic that empowered, informed birth can bring and strive to protect the peaceful, powerful energy of bringing a new life into the world. When I’m not with a family, I enjoy painting with watercolors, feeding the local crows, dancing under the moonlight and spending time with my cat.

I’m a mom to two beautiful girls, a passionate birth doula, and someone who loves showing up for families during one of the most incredible — and life-changing — journeys there is. Years ago, I walked away from a decade-long career as a lawyer and followed my heart straight into birth work. Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum feels like home to me — it’s where I come alive. Caring for others has always been second nature, but there’s just something about standing beside a family as they meet their baby that fills me up in a way nothing else does. My approach is simple — warm, personal, and rooted in trust. I believe every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and truly seen as she steps into her power. Birth is raw, real, and different every time — sometimes full of joy and laughter, sometimes messy, emotional, and intense. I’m here for all of it — holding space, offering steady support, and reminding you that you are never in it alone. There’s no script, no one-size-fits-all here. I show up ready to meet you where you are — tuning in, listening, and walking beside you every step of the way. My goal is to make you feel held, informed, and confident, so you can look back on your birth story with pride. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me soaking up time with my girls — whether that’s cooking up something delicious, getting outside, or cheering way too loudly at the rink for my hockey-playing daughter (my proudest role might just be hockey mom!). Nature is my reset button, and the sauna-my happy place to unwind, reflect, and breathe. I’m also fluent in Russian and feel incredibly honored to support Russian-speaking families here in the Greater Seattle area — though truly, my heart is wide open to families from every background and walk of life. If you’re looking for a doula who’s warm, grounded, and 100% in your corner, I’d love to connect. You deserve support that feels like a soft place to land — and I’d be honored to be that for you.

Hello! I am available for postpartum doula work, as well as childbirth photography and nannying.

Hi there! I am a full spectrum doula and newborn care specialist serving the North and Eastside! I hold various certifications in prenatal, birth, postpartum, newborns, and beyond! I am currently enrolled in Midwifery school and I am only taking on PP and Newborn clients at this time!

Hi! I’m Lyndsie, a wife and mother to 2 boys and all around “birth friend” I love spending time outdoors, grabbing a coffee and catching up with friends and am always up for adventures! I believe birth is beautiful, empowering, and transformative. It does not need to be coerced, feared or walked alone. It is my utmost honor to walk alongside women as they transition from maiden to mother. To hold space with a reassuring smile, and a joyful heart, while you bring your baby earth side in your full authority. I believe in connection and relationships. With me you are not hiring an attendant, you are forming a friendship and understanding, you are gaining a sister who loves birth and you and will hold you in all the ways you need.

I practice trauma informed, perinatal, birth, and postpartum support for all birthing bodies, couples, single and single by choice parents, adoptive parents, and families on their surrogacy journeys. My support is queer competent, weight inclusive and intersectional, and it is always my priority to support people getting the care that helps them feel safe and seen, essential to the health and wellness of both baby and family. I know first hand how beautiful, challenging and exhausting childbirth and parenting is, and I come with a wealth of personal and professional experience to share with you.

I love my job! Supporting parents through labor, birth and postpartum is amazing, and rewarding, and what I feel called to do. I am a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a childbirth educator and a lactation educator. Having an understanding of your options is a big part of preventing birth trauma. Educating parents about how they can better navigate their labor and the medical system is a big part of what I do. I support folks emotionally, physically, with information/resources, and with advocacy (and photo documentation of their labor). We usually have some fun too!

My husband, of over 30 years, and I have three grown children. We are super excited to be living in Kitsap Co. again after being away for most of our married lives. As a certified Doula, postpartum doula and Childbirth Educator I enjoy all aspects of the birth process, providing kind, experienced support before, during and after labor. Your birth should be a beautiful, empowering experience in the environment of your choice. I will be by your side to support your choices, give physical, emotional, and informational support as well as advocate for you during decision making. Please consider me as part of your support team as you navigate this important time in your life.

Pronouns she/her. I am a BiPOC full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, community lactation specialist, & I encapsulate placentas.

My approach is simple. I passionately believe every family deserves to have the BEST and most comprehensive care that starts with pregnancy, follows through birth and continues as your family grows. As a doula since 2008, I have built my career striving to provide complete care that respects your family in all aspects to help you along your journey as a growing family.
