Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Federal Way, WA

Hello! My names Inna and I am a mother of 3 kids. To me birth was always fascinating. You get to see life coming into the world. It's such a special, beautiful moment! All my births were different and I learned each time what could help the next one. I have been a doula for an all natural labor for a first time mama. It was such a beautiful thing to experience and help with. I want to help more mamas whether it's all natural or not. I am here for you through It all.

I am a certified labor/birth and postpartum doula. I am also a Newborn Care Specialist, a certified newborn sleep specialist, and Lamaze trained childbirth educator. In addition to giving birth to 10 children myself, I have helped hundreds of families in the 30-plus years I've been doing this work. I feel it really DOES take a village to raise a child, and I am always honored to be invited to that village. Whether it's assisting in getting information so parents can make informed decisions in labor or birth, or teaching new parents how to bathe their babies, or establishing sleep routines to help all household members to "sleep like a baby", the role I am invited into is an important one that I do not take lightly.

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.

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.

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.
