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.

Kalen was invaluable after the birth of our premature twins. We hired her for 6 months of daytime support. She was punctual, dependable, knowledgable, and clearly passionate about babies. She gave us much needed relief and showed us how to help out little ones sleep through the night! Thank you so much, Kalen!

My name is Liza Hameza (Schaefer). I’m a mother of 4, doula, educator, and podcaster who’s spent 15 years studying birth in the fields. What began as a personal story has grown into a lifelong calling. Since then, I’ve supported over 490 births in different birthing settings, guided hundreds of parents through childbirth preparation and the first tender months with their newborns. Alongside modern doula practices, I weave in the wisdom of postpartum traditions I’ve learned in different countries - Belarus, Ukraine, Germany and Cyprus - rituals that honor a mother’s strength and nurture recovery. In addition to my one-on-one work with families, I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring doulas worldwide. I lead specialized trainings, and have been invited to speak at international conferences on birth and parenthood. I also created Oxytocin World, a podcast that brings together midwives, anthropologists, psychologists, researchers, and doulas to share knowledge about birth, parenting, and relationships. I believe birth is more than a medical event - it’s a profound initiation for families, one that deserves care, respect, and continuity. My role is to walk beside you in that journey: grounding, encouraging, and offering both practical tools and emotional support. Outside of doula work, I feel most alive when cooking, practicing yoga, running, hiking in the mountains, or just being with my family. These everyday joys keep me grounded and remind me what truly matters.

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!

Hey there, I'm Autumn! As a labor and delivery nurse turned birth doula, my heart is deeply committed to supporting women through their unique and beautiful birth journeys, especially those seeking the healing and empowerment of a VBAC. Having experienced a VBAC myself, I understand the strength and courage it takes, and I am honored to walk alongside you as a certified VBAC doula.

As a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mother of two, I bring both professional knowledge and a heartfelt understanding to the families I serve, trusting in God's guidance throughout each birth experience I am honored to support.

From the first time I met Autumn I knew we were going to connect well. She is an amazing listener, patient, kind and so smart…especially in all things birth! Autumn is truly experienced and always had an answer to my questions with a great balance between giving not just the benefits but also risks and alternatives to suggested interventions. Having her in your birth space means having a calm presence, knowledgeable guide and a strong advocate. I can’t recommend her enough!

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, my name is Sharlene, a postpartum doula and a naturopathic medical student with a deep passion for supporting new families. My journey into birth work began when I was a senior in high school who had the opportunity to do my rotations at a hospital in Texas. Little did I know at that time that it was passion that had been born from that experience— it planted the seed for my future. Moving to Washington to study at Bastyr was a leap towards making my dreams a reality. Becoming a doula was another beautiful discovery, introduced to me by a professor who not only taught me, but also helped me heal in ways I never expected. Now, as a postpartum doula, I am honored to walk alongside new parents, providing the care, support, and reassurance they need during such a transformative time. I can’t wait to continue growing in this field and, one day, serve my community as a midwife and a prenatal ND, providing holistic care throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

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.

If I could give a rating higher than five stars, I would! Jocelyn was able to take over and advocate for me when I was unable to do it myself, and when my partner and I were unsure of what decisions to make before and during the delivery process. She was there for us from the early stages of labor to when our baby was in my arms for the first time. She is both knowledgeable and creative in her methods and had answers to all our questions. She far exceeded the expectations we had and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for doula services.

I’ve had the joy of witnessing the heart and soul behind Hailey’s beautiful doula journey, and it’s honestly been moving to watch. This isn’t just a business—it’s a true calling. You can feel it in the way she lights up when talking about birth, in how deeply she cares for the women she supports, and in the quiet strength she brings to such a powerful moment in a family’s life. Hailey believes in the natural birth process, in a mother’s strength, and in the beauty of bringing life into the world with intention, support, and love.

Recent review

Trina was a wonderful Doula who shared her peaceful presence, extensive knowledge, and practical strategies in our visits leading up to giving birth. This carried over to the day of birth and we could not have done it without her! She was extremely grounding and helpful to my husband- relieving him to eat or just take care of himself, while she continued to take care of and support me. She was a team player and always deferred to us, but made great suggestions when we asked for them. I would highly recommend Trina (and I have recommended her to friends!).
