Arise Doula Collective

12 years of experience

At Arise Doula Collective, we offer our clients nearly 25 years of combined experience in the doula and healthcare fields. We are trained to support your unique birth experience whether you have a home birth, hospital birth, or deliver at a birthing center. We support unmedicated childbirth as well as epidural or C-section deliveries. We are a small team of three doulas who work together to provide continuous, relationship-based care and cannot wait to walk alongside you through this journey!

I highly recommend having Jordan as your doula. Our experience with Jordan was 11/10; she was magic. Jordan makes everything easy. She listened to what my husband and I were each hoping for in our birth experience and helped us get there! We learned so much from her to truly understand all our options, to really make welcoming our little one what we wanted. We had a lot of questions and Jordan answered every question we had without fail, with both honesty and reassurance. If she didn’t already know the answer from her wealth of experience, she would find the answer and always follow up. No question was ever too big, small or silly; we always felt comfortable asking her. Jordan goes above and beyond. From arranging to stay nearby so that she wouldn’t miss a thing when our due date came to sending exercises to prep for labor to helping us postpartum, Jordan has become someone we trust wholeheartedly. We count ourselves very lucky to have her in our corner and will definitely call her if we are expecting again!

Sanee Murray

3 years of experience

Hi! My name is Sanee (pronounced Suh-Nay), and I’m a postpartum doula and childcare professional based in Seattle. With over a decade of experience supporting families and little ones, I created Nurtured Nest Wellness to offer thoughtful, inclusive care during the sacred transition into parenthood. I specialize in postpartum support, overnight newborn care, and transitional childcare for families returning to work. My goal is to help you feel confident, cared for, and well-rested during this tender chapter. Whether it’s soothing baby through a night feed, preparing a nourishing meal, or simply being a calm presence—you don’t have to do it all alone. It’s an honor to walk alongside families as they grow. I’d love to support yours.

We had the pleasure of working with Sanee for the first few months of our son's life, and we are so grateful for the care she provided. She was incredibly reliable, dependable, and brought a calming presence into our home. Her loving and attentive nature made us feel completely confident leaving our son in her care overnight. She quickly became a trusted partner and gave us peace of mind during a very vulnerable time. We highly recommend her to any family looking for experienced, nurturing support.

Taeleonna Wells

13 years of experience

I specialize in overnight newborn care as a Night Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist. With over 12 years of childcare experience and more than three years dedicated exclusively to newborns, I provide professional, consistent support for families during the newborn stage. My care is guided by a structured, baby-led approach that blends nurturing with practical scheduling. I closely monitor feeding intervals, sleep patterns, and developmental cues to create predictable routines that help babies thrive and allow parents to rest confidently. Gentle sleep shaping, consistent feeding schedules, and careful observation ensure babies are progressing while maintaining their individual needs. Whether supporting breastfeeding, supplementing with bottles, or managing overnight care, I focus on implementing systems that promote healthy circadian rhythms, restful nights, and steady growth milestones. My goal is to deliver calm, reliable overnight care while establishing routines that make the transition into newborn life smoother and more sustainable for the whole family.

Tae was a great night nurse for us for three weeks. The initial scheduling was flexible around our release from the NICU. We had no issues with her and would book again!

Hi everyone! My name is Leah. I'm a 26-year-old postpartum and Labor & Delivery nurse with over three years of experience working as an overnight nurse.

Meri Hoover

I specialize in overnight care for new families. I maintain certification as a postpartum doula, have completed training as an advanced newborn care specialist, and have worked with over 50 families in the last three years. I become a member of the family I work with and am committed to being a part of your team. I am warm, personable, and develop a sense of mutual respect with my clients. As a doula and newborn care specialist I am akin to a walking, talking baby book that is forever being updated on current trends and safety standards.

Meri is a doula extraordinaire. We slept so peacefully knowing our baby was well taken care of, loved and carefully watched all night. Meri is meticulous, communicative, thoughtful and a wealth of knowledge, especially for us first-time parents. Meri became part of our family during her weeks with us and we couldn't have survived that fragile postpartum time without her. Not only would we wake up to all the baby tasks done (perfectly), but she was a strong support system for all the postpartum changes for me as a mother. Hiring Meri was beneficial to our baby, our sleep, our marriage, my mental health and so many other aspects of our life. We already miss her dearly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for this type of care.

Zoe Deenihan

4 years of experience

I am a certified Postpartum Doula serving Seattle and the surrounding areas. I have been working with families for many years as an early childhood nanny and as a doula, and have helping many families through the ups and downs of these early days. I truly love working with a family to help them feel more confident and capable about the choices they are making. I bring a nonjudgmental listening ear and helping hand, and want the whole family to feel brighter every time I'm there. I offer a sliding scale for solo parents, LGBTQIA+ families, BIPOC families, and low income folks - please reach out if you need some assistance!

In a world of social media, “parenting experts” are everywhere - the information overload can be so overwhelming and paralyzing, especially as first time parents… enter Zoe. The hardest thing to embrace as a first time mum was knowing how much you don’t know, so having support, both hands on and virtually, from a postpartum doula made all the difference. Zoe’s knowledge in childcare and child development, as well as postpartum care (with a genuine emphasis on CARE) has made all the difference in our first three months as parents. Any new parents know it’s easy to feel like you’re blundering through, and just trying to survive. Zoe’s demeanor is that of, “you are the parents, you are experts in YOUR child,” as she guides us with her own expertise. She has not only helped to educate, but has given us the tools and encouragement to implement new practices for ourselves. From answers about baby sleep - both naps and nighttime, routines and schedules, lactation support, to the ever important parental care (self care IS caring for your baby, thanks for the reminder, Zoe), developmental milestones, and even playtime (how do you play with a baby? Zoe knows). She has been a delight to work with, her communication is excellent, and in a time that can be frightening and isolating, Zoe has ensured that post partum is not something we ever felt “alone” in. After working with Zoe, it is impossible to think of how different our experience would have been without her, and we are so grateful for the opportunity to have worked with her, and will hopefully get to work with her again for future children

Christina Prskalo

26 years of experience

Christina prskalo postpartum doula in Seattle. I am a trained professional who assists Seattle area families during the critical period after the birth of their baby, offering educational, emotional and physical support. I received my education through the DONA International approved postpartum doula course at the Bastyr University.

I also seek to connect new parents to community resources that will help them gain the support that they need and desire.

Christina was our postpartum doula for several months and I highly recommend her. She made sure we slept and had moments of relaxation during our steep learning curve as new parents, ensured our son was well taken care of, and taught us so much about caring for a newborn. Christina was calm and supportive. She answered and anticipated so many of our questions with such a depth of knowledge and experience that we were able to skip many of the uncertainties and anxieties we were anticipating as first time parents. Christina is communicative, reliable, helpful, supportive, caring, and trustworthy, we’re so thankful for all she did for us!
