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!

My experience with Bridgette was fantastic. My main reason for using a doula was I wanted someone in the birth room to be a fierce advocate while I was medicated and in pain and unable to advocate for myself. She was that and so much more. I had to push for 4 hours to get my little one out after already being in labor for 18 hours. The doctor said I was close to needing the vacuum to get her out and I credit Bridgette's knowledge, encouragement of frequent position changes while pushing and encouragement to keep hydrated and nourished with clear liquids to why I was able to get my little one out without the vacuum. Another thing that was a great help was giving my overwhelmed partner guidance on the best ways of helping me and keeping him calm and involved in a stressful situation. In addition to that she got the BEST pictures of the delivery while respecting the fact I didn't want any from the angle you could see my more intimate areas. I'll cherish those pictures forever. My birth was a beautiful wonderful experience. I have to credit part of it to luck but the majority of it to Bridgette.

Laura was truly a life saver after our baby was born. Baby girl ( was very small when she was born, so the combination of concern about baby's weight/size, breastfeeding troubles, a lot of family stress, and awful postpartum depression made things really tough. Laura swooped in with incredible calm, knowledge, endless support, and a soothing touch, and things suddenly felt a bit more manageable. When Laura arrived, she would somehow see the big picture of "what does this house/family need right now?" and also zoom in on me and baby to make sure we were safe and comfy. The days when Laura was in our home meant I could take a shower, take a nap, have a solid meal--all while trusting that our baby was in excellent hands. Her depth of knowledge about pregnancy, newborns, feeding, safety, and overall health is incredible--and she has so many resources to share--but more than anything else, she made us feel incredibly cared for. I cannot recommend Laura highly enough to help smooth the transition from giving birth into the wild newborn days. Thanks to her, we felt less stress, less exhaustion, less worry, and so much more comfort. She's an amazing doula!

Bethany is truly such a gem, and I genuinely don’t know what my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience would have looked like without her. I went through my pregnancy without the support of a partner, and having Bethany by my side made such a huge difference in my experience. She was so kind, caring, warm, and genuinely supportive from the very beginning. Having her with me at appointments made me feel like I wasn’t navigating everything alone, and during labor, her presence brought me so much comfort. She supported me, helped advocate for me, and made sure I felt heard and cared for during such an important and vulnerable time. What makes her even more special is that her care never felt like it was simply a job. She genuinely cared about me, my baby, and my family. She was so sweet and loving with my older children and made them feel included and comfortable throughout the experience as well. Even postpartum, she continued to show up with the same warmth and thoughtfulness, whether that was checking in on me, supporting me as a new mom again, or even showing me how to make nourishing meals. I feel like I gained a lifelong friend in Bethany. I will forever be grateful that she was part of this chapter of my life, and I appreciate her more than I could ever fully put into words. Any family lucky enough to have her as their doula is getting someone incredibly special. I cannot recommend her enough.

Rae supported us as a doula and birth photographer with the birth of our second daughter at St. Anne's in Burien, WA. Her presence in listening to our previous birthing experience, and our goals for this one, made us feel seen, known and held at each step of the way. Tiffany (birthing person) experienced Rae's care as steady, grounding and affirming, and feels that it helped her stay embodied even amidst intensity. Thomas (birthing partner) felt Rae's responsiveness was stellar, and that her instructions during labor were clear, pracitcal and kind. Rae's photography beautifully captured our perinatal chapter and served to support us in integrating our experience, as well as celebrating and honoring, the arc of our journey.

I’m Ivy, a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with 10 years of experience working with babies and families. I began my career as a nanny before becoming a doula in 2021, originally training in birth work and quickly realizing that postpartum care is where my heart truly is. I’m certified through ProDoula and Newborn Care Solutions, and I feel deeply honored to support families during such a tender and meaningful season. I love learning from other doulas, value collaboration, and am currently considering becoming an IBCLC as I continue to grow in this work. My own experience with significant body changes has shaped the gentle, compassionate, and non-judgmental way I support families through postpartum recovery.

We have had a fabulous experience with Ivy. She provided overnight support 1-2 times per week for the first 2 months following the birth of my third child. She was really wonderful at soothing my daughter which facilitated a lot of extra sleep for me. I spent each week looking forward to her visits knowing I could catch up on some much needed rest while she was here. I have experience with 4 different postpartum doulas over the course of my 3 pregnancies and Ivy facilitated the most sleep for me, which was incredibly appreciated. Ivy is very perceptive to the unique needs and preferences of each baby. By her second visit, she had already discerned some specific ways my daughter liked to be soothed and we adjusted our nightly approach accordingly, making nights easier for all of us. Ivy is very knowledgeable about newborns. Occasionally, I would reach out to her via text between visits to seek her advice and she was always gracious enough to respond. It made me feel very supported. I would highly recommend her!

Hi! I’m Jaya Mallik (she/her), a birth and postpartum doula in Maple Valley, WA, where I live with my husband, Nathan, and our two daughters, Asha and Diya. My journey into doula work began with my own birth experiences. After an emergency first birth and postpartum depression, I found healing during my second birth with the support of a culturally aligned doula who empowered me and honored my values. Her guidance inspired me to provide the same compassionate care to others. As a Woman of Color and current DEI practitioner, I’m committed to addressing healthcare inequities and ensuring every birthing person feels empowered and supported through this transformative journey.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Jaya! She was a wonderful addition to our birth team and made both pregnancy and labor a comfortable and safe experience. Throughout pregnancy, Jaya was a great communicator. She was always willing to answer our questions and checked in on us as we got closer to the end of our pregnancy. When we met in person to discuss our vision for labor and delivery, she shared an immense amount of information with us and helped us craft a birth plan. She was respectful of all of our wishes and helped us to feel informed and prepared. We were unexpectedly induced before the end our pregnancy. When we found this out, Jaya immediately called us to talk things through. She was kind and gentle and made sure we had the information we needed. When she joined us in the hospital during labor, she brought with her a balance of both calmness and positivity. As labor progressed and we had to make decisions about care, she again made sure we had the right knowledge to make informed decisions. She supported both me and my partner as we navigated the challenges of labor, and helped to bring both joy and serenity into the room. Overall, Jaya was incredibly supportive, kind, and knowledgeable. She made us feel safe, listened to, and empowered. We would highly recommend her for birth doula services, and are very grateful for her support and wisdom.

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!

As Marlo’s business partner, we work closely together a lot, and I see firsthand the immense heart, honesty, and professionalism she brings to every single family we serve. I know how deeply our joint families love Marlo and appreciate her care—the previous claim about her being greedy or unprofessional couldn't be further from the truth. We built our practice on transparency, clear contract boundaries, and an ethical backup network to protect parents during an unpredictable season. When severe medical emergencies arise, Marlo always acts with total integrity and clear communication. I am incredibly proud of our work together, fully stand by her character, and am so grateful to have found a partner in her.
