Hello everyone, my name is Dana and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Lynnwood, WA. I proudly serve the Greater Seattle Area, including Lynnwood, Shoreline, Everett, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, and surrounding communities. My philosophy is simple: I believe in the power of the feminine. My mission is to help you embrace that power during childbirth and guide you through a restful, nourished fourth trimester. I strive to create a judgment-free zone where you can trust your body’s unique wisdom and feel fully supported. My approach is rooted in real-life experience. I have personally navigated three completely different births, giving me an unbiased, adaptive perspective. As a mother of three and a former paraeducator, I am highly stress-resistant and skilled at staying calm and present. I offer support that is Intuitive, Steadfast, and Bilingual (fluent in Russian and Kazakh). For postpartum care, I offer specialized services like Rebozo massage and the "Closing the Bones" ritual, focusing on holistic recovery. I am a lifelong learner, dedicated to ongoing education, and I come to every family ready to collaborate with your team.

My wife is currently soaking up every moment with our newborn so I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. Working with Dana was the best investment we made for our birth journey. After a long and difficult road to conceive, this pregnancy was incredibly precious to us and we were naturally anxious about the delivery. Dana was a wealth of knowledge from day one. When labor got complicated and it felt like we were headed toward an unplanned C-section, she remained our calm in the storm. Her expertise in positioning and her ability to help us navigate the hospital’s suggestions were game changers. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, we were able to avoid a C-section and have the vaginal birth we so deeply desired. She was respectful of the medical staff while ensuring our voices were heard. She didn't just support my wife physically, she empowered us to make informed decisions. We are forever grateful to have had her by our side and I cannot recommend Dana highly enough. As a husband, I was incredibly protective and anxious about my wife's safety. During a very intense point in labor, seeing her in so much pain was unbearable for me. I was actually the one who suggested a C-section just because I wanted her suffering to end. However, Dana remained our calm and steady guide. She didn’t dismiss my fears, but she knew exactly how to support my wife through that 'wall.' With her expert coaching on positioning and breathing, she helped my wife find the strength to keep going. Thanks to her, my wife was able to have the natural birth she so deeply wanted, completely intervention-free and, amazingly, without a single tear! Seeing my wife so proud of herself and empowered by her own strength was life changing. Dana didn't just support the birth, she supported our whole family. If you're a husband who is on the fence about hiring a doula, do it. It was the best decision we ever made.

I practice trauma informed, perinatal, birth, and postpartum support for all birthing bodies, couples, single and single by choice parents, adoptive parents, and families on their surrogacy journeys. My support is queer competent, weight inclusive and intersectional, and it is always my priority to support people getting the care that helps them feel safe and seen, essential to the health and wellness of both baby and family. I know first hand how beautiful, challenging and exhausting childbirth and parenting is, and I come with a wealth of personal and professional experience to share with you.

Melanie Guymon is a superb doula. She spent nights with our little bub for 2+months, she gave us a reprieve and support during the difficult newborn days hard. We had a colicky baby and Melanie not only helped us advocate to our doctors that our baby might have reflux, but she also gave us superb tips on how to help ease her discomfort at night and during the day.  During her time with us Melanie also helped us prepare our baby to move out of the swaddle, and due to her tips, our baby seamlessly transitioned from her Snoo + bassinet and into her crib and a sleep sack. She continued to support us with sleep coaching as well, helping us with our babies sleep schedule, which has allowed our baby to sleep better than all of our other baby friends in a similar age range. We had Melanie start with us around the 6 week mark due to our postpartum schedule, and she was with us until just under 4 months. We could not have done this journey without her.

Hi, I’m Fiona Mortensen, founder of Little Pines Doula. I’m a certified postpartum doula, student lactation counselor, and a mom to two little boys under two, proudly supporting families throughout the Greater Seattle and Tacoma areas. My passion for birth and postpartum work began during my time as an EMT in King County, where I had the unforgettable experience of helping a mother deliver her sixth baby. That moment opened my eyes to the beauty and privilege of supporting families during such a powerful transition. Since then, I’ve welcomed my own children—first via cesarean and then through a VBAC—experiences that have deepened my appreciation for the importance of informed, compassionate care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. With a background in emergency medicine—including work on a NICU/PICU transport team and as an ER Technician at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital—I bring a steady, grounded presence and a blend of clinical knowledge and heartfelt support to my doula practice. At Little Pines Doula, I offer non-judgmental, personalized care to meet each family’s unique needs. I especially love helping new parents build confidence and connection as they adjust to life with their baby. Outside of doula work, I love exploring new parks with my boys, relaxing at the beach, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. At home, you’ll often find me curled up with an embroidery project and my cats, or sharing laughs and playful moments with my family. I believe joy and humor are essential, and I bring a light-hearted, down-to-earth energy into every family I support. I’m also passionate about learning and am always deepening my knowledge in birth, postpartum care, and lactation—not only to better serve my clients, but because I genuinely love continuing to grow. I truly believe the postpartum period can be one of the most beautiful and transformative times in a family’s life. It’s an honor to walk alongside families during this tender season—and to bring warmth, wisdom, and a few smiles along the way.

Having Fiona as my postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made when preparing for our little guy’s arrival. Fiona guided me through decision paralysis, every question or concern, and exhaustion; she did this with care, grace, compassion and patience. She was very professional (prompt, communicated expectations and boundaries clearly) while being personable. I needed someone just like this while my little family navigated this tender time of postpartum. There was never a moment of doubt or worry with Fiona as our doula. I knew my little dude was in great hands while I rested. I can’t recommend Fiona enough! Our 2 months with her was amazing and made my postpartum journey so much easier and peaceful.
