Hi! My name is Katherine (Kate), and I am a certified birth & postpartum doula primarily offering postpartum support. I have a Masters degree in Public Health with a focus Maternal and Child Health Services, and nearly a decade of experience in this work. I first became certified as a doula in 2020, and have since worked in various family serving roles in education, public health, and nonprofit. Through all of my experience, I got to uniquely understand the needs of families and the resources available, always striving towards building a pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and parenting experience for all. When I welcomed my first child, I felt the impact of this work in a whole new way. My own experience seriously rocked my world, and I realized I needed to be back in doula work, directly supporting others going through this amazing and life-changing transformation. We weren’t meant to do this alone. And you don’t have to. I would love to support you during this time, and cheer you on as we figure this out.

Kate has been an indispensable part of my postpartum journey. Her first overnight shift coincided with me experiencing a postpartum hemorrhage. While my husband and I were in the ER navigating this frightening birth complication, we felt at peace knowing our newborn was in more than capable hands. It was a relief not to have to carry the mental load of infant care during such a stressful time. Given her own complex birth story, I felt that Kate could truly understand the curveballs thrown our way and meet them with grace and empathy. One of the biggest milestones of my postpartum journey has been breastfeeding on demand, and Kate played an instrumental role in helping me get there. Since I exclusively pumped and bottle-fed my firstborn, I had little confidence that I’d be able to breastfeed my second baby. Kate’s gentle encouragement, practical lactation tips, and weekly check-ins gave me the confidence and support I needed to keep going. She helped me turn something I wasn’t sure I could do into a meaningful part of my bond with my baby. Early on, I was struck by Kate’s humility. She listened as I processed my anxieties out loud. She gave hand and foot massages with aromatherapy in the comfort of my own home. Her public health experience makes her a great resource for evidence-based guidance and WA state programs. As someone deeply embedded in our local community, she was also a great connector. Kate’s care extended to our home, too. She folded laundry, organized bottles and pump parts, decluttered our living spaces, and prepared comfort foods and nourishing meals. She anticipated my needs without requiring oversight. She’s proactive, observant, and a true self-starter. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate to any mother looking for compassionate postpartum support.

Harneet was an incredible postpartum doula for our family, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She was always punctual, dependable, and responsive, which gave us so much peace of mind during those early weeks. She quickly learned our daughter’s routines and provided excellent overnight care so we could get the rest we desperately needed. Our family also faced an unexpected medical diagnosis for our baby, and Harneet was a wonderful source of support throughout that experience. We always felt that our daughter was in caring, capable hands. We are so grateful for the support Harneet provided our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dependable postpartum doula.

I’m Emilee, affectionately known as Nanny Emmy. I’m a career nanny with over thirty years of experience caring for children of all ages. For nearly the past decade, I’ve focused exclusively on newborn and postpartum care, supporting more than fifty families through one of the most important transitions of their lives. Working with families is not about showing up with a checklist. It is about walking into a home and immediately understanding what is needed. From the baby who is struggling to settle, to the parent running on empty, to the small details no one else has time to think about, I bring experience, confidence, and a listening ear. I provide a combination of newborn care and postpartum support, whether during the day, overnight, or both. My care is practical, intuitive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. Whether I'm caring for your baby through the night, helping establish healthy sleep habits, or managing a few household tasks while you rest, my presence is intentional and my care is always tailored to your family’s needs. What sets me apart is not just experience. It is the ability to assess a situation, respond with purpose, and care for the family as a whole. I understand what recovery actually looks like. I understand what newborns need. And I know how to bring relief and routine into a home that feels stretched thin. My goal is to leave families feeling confident and capable without the guesswork. You already know you need the help. The next step is saying yes. Getting started is simple, and the support that follows brings real peace of mind.

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.

We hired Marlo after the birth of both our children. She is extremely professional, punctual, responsible, and caring. She offers advice and is knowledgeable on everything baby related, which I appreciated SO much as a new mom. She is not judgmental and always talks with kindness, something I appreciated during difficult times (like breastfeeding my first baby, or being anxious about things my newborns were doing). Marlo offered helped around the house, and is flexible if there is a need to change the schedule. I would 100% recommend her!

November 2026

Amanda was absolutely wonderful, and I couldn’t recommend her more highly as a doula! Her compassion, patience, and genuine passion for supporting mothers and families truly shine through. She creates a comforting, supportive environment where you feel heard and cared for every step of the way. I especially appreciated her support when I was experiencing challenges with breastfeeding. Those early days can be overwhelming, emotional, and sometimes discouraging, but Amanda was incredibly encouraging, and supportive. She offered reassurance without judgment and made me feel like I wasn't navigating those struggles alone. Having someone so compassionate in your corner during such a vulnerable time makes all the difference. Her knowledge, calming presence, and dedication make her such a valuable resource for new mothers. Anyone fortunate enough to have Amanda by their side is in wonderful hands. I am truly grateful for her support and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting or new mother!

November 2026

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marlo! As the owner of a postpartum doula agency, I have had the privilege of working alongside many incredible doulas. But Marlo has constantly stood out as one of my most trusted, dedicated, and exceptional team members! Marlo was the first doula to join my agency after initially providing backup support for me and a family that I was working with. From the moment I met Marlo, I knew that I could trust her and depend on her. Ever since she has been an invaluable part of my team, and my life. Her compassion, reliability, professionalism, and genuine dedication to this work and the families she supports, is unmatched. As a small business owner and Mother myself, it gives me such great peace of mind knowing that the reputation of my business, and the families who trust us are in the best hands with her!
