Birth & Postpartum Doulas Near Me in Kirkland, WA

As a mom of two young ones, one being autistic, I know the difficulty of being a parent with unique challenges. Each of us have them. I'm a believer in post partum parents being prioritized by a caretaker. Need a shower? I'll hold the colicky baby. Rest? I'll cuddle your babe. Food? Do you like cookies? I'm here for you. I will certainly love your child as my own, but you need someone looking out for you too. I'll be that gal.

I am a Certified Lactation Counselor and Birth/Postpartum Doula, and was called to this work because of my own experiences. I had a myriad of pregnancy issues, including loss, high risk medical complications, postpartum mood disorder, PTSD, and breastfeeding challenges. Like many families, we could not find the right resources, despite looking and asking for help. I don't want another person to fall through the cracks like I did. That was back in 2007/2008, and while more support systems are in place, we are still clearly lacking. We all benefit from having compassionate, non-judgmental help in the process of starting or adding to our families, and it brings me immense satisfaction to be that person for others.
