About me
I am certified as a birth doula through DONA and serve women in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Kitsap County and surrounding areas. I do cross the Narrows bridge to hospitals in Tacoma as well. Homebirth is near and dear to me and I experienced it for my births as well. It has also been a privilege to support those wanting to VBAC or birth in a hospital space. It’s exciting to learn about and practice Spinning Babies and other support measures to better serve birthing women.

Service introduction
My services include prenatal birth preparation with time to build trust and confidence,as well as, postnatal check-ins a few days and weeks after the birth. I am trained in Spinning Babies and VBAC certified. Sometimes a client wants me to come to the house in early labor or they want to labor at home as long as possible. I’ll be there. I offer support, comfort measures, and advocacy during the labor to you and your partner.

Ratings and reviews
Carol has been my birth doula twice, and her support was invaluable each time. From the prenatal stage—helping me with birth planning, stretching, and essential oils—to the labor itself, she guided with practical knowledge and grace. Her hip squeezes provided significant relief during intense labor, and she was a steadfast advocate for my wishes, helping me achieve lower-intervention births in a hospital setting. Carol is remarkably calm in high-stress moments. After discovering my baby was breech, her specialized knowledge of breech delivery helped inform my decisions, gave me confidence to do what I felt was right for my baby and I, and supported me through to a successful vaginal breech delivery. Compared to my first birth, having Carol as my doula made a huge difference in helping me feel secure, contributing to all-around more positive birth experiences.

I had Carol Eddy as my doula for both my pregnancies so far and it has been the best decision and experience ever! Highly recommend for any first time mothers who might be anxious and unsure how to advocate for themselves in a birthing scenario.
