A dedicated, capable, and broadly skilled Full Spectrum Doula. My skillset has flourished in the years I’ve spent in professional birth and postpartum care. Having supported over 300 families through pregnancy, labor and birth, and even hundreds more in postpartum, as well as a foundation of 20+ years of NCS experience, I am a seasoned Doula based here in metro Seattle / Tacoma. My competencies are built on the foundation of full-spectrum experience of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I walk hand in hand with families through first, second, and third births as well as the many in-between variations of the experience of growing family. It is important to me to practice with a calm and clear mind, helping to build your confidence and awareness early on, helping you assert your autonomy confidently to be in charge of your experience. At the heart of my work as your doula are the values of trust, honesty, reliability and non-judgmental support. There is no one right way to become a family. My role is to help you feel sure of what is right for you.

We truly cannot imagine how we would have navigated the first few months of new parenthood without Nori. Nori’s greatest strengths include her deep wisdom, unmatched knowledge of newborn care, and calm confidence that instantly puts parents at ease. She has a “magic touch” for soothing babies and helping them sleep, and we believe our little guy started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks due to Nori’s gentle, consistent sleep routines. (We were not sleep training at this young age—it was Nori’s consistency and routines she developed for us and our baby that helped our baby know it was time for sleep.) Nori also has a gift for coaching new parents with warmth and empathy: she taught us all the invaluable baby care skills we needed to know—diaper changing, addressing diaper rash, bottle feeding, sleep and bedtime routine, safe sleep and swaddling, soothing, bath routine and hygiene (nail trims etc), and more. She is the most (obsessively!) punctual person I know—we knew we could depend on her to arrive ten minutes early to every single shift. That consistency and reliability really put our mind at ease—my husband and I would excitedly say “tonight is a Nori night!” whenever she was coming and by 5 or 6pm, we already felt more relaxed knowing she would be arriving soon (and always early). She was a reassuring presence in helping us address a few early issues: a dairy intolerance in my breastmilk, and a (worrying-looking but ultimately totally innocuous) skin condition he had early on called transient neonatal pustular melanosis. For the first few months, the only person who could take care of our baby in a way I (the mom) could truly relax (without a single worry or needing to check in to see how things were going) was Nori—because she could provide him an unmatched level of attentiveness, care, and detail orientation. She would notice the smallest things, like a spot of diaper rash or whether to increase the oz in his bottles. Finally, I’ll add that in conversations with our friends about their night nannies and postpartum doulas, we have learned that Nori is truly one-of-a-kind—lots of our friends had wonderful experiences with their doulas/nannies, but no one was truly “Nori level.” She is exceptional and inimitable! We recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation to any family—she is priceless.

Hi, I'm Tori, a birth and postpartum doula in Seattle. It is my goal to provide my clients with knowledge and resources to confidently navigate their pregnancy, birth and beyond. I know there is always more to learn and every birth is unique, so I am continually evolving to provide the best support possible. I am also a massage therapist specializing in prenatal and postpartum massage and utilize those skills in my birth support as well.

We had a great experience working with Tori as our doula! My wife also had a positive experience with her as a prenatal massage therapist. Tori has a great touch with people and helped us navigate many difficult decisions and situations during my wife’s first pregnancy. Her knowledge and calm demeanor helped us to navigate complications and feel better during this uncertain time. She was also flexible and supportive as our needs changed during the pregnancy. We would definitely recommend Tori to anyone who is looking for a doula.

Hi, I’m Hailey (she/her), a trauma-informed, holistic prenatal and birth doula proudly serving families throughout the South Sound region of Washington. My approach is rooted in deep listening, evidence-based support, and honoring the sacred, transformative nature of birth. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel safe, seen, and supported, especially in moments as vulnerable and powerful as pregnancy and labor. Whether you’re planning a home birth, birth center delivery, or hospital birth, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion, calm presence, and nonjudgmental guidance. As a holistic doula, I encourage practices that nourish the body, mind, and spirit; gentle movement, nutrient-rich foods, emotional processing, time in nature, and intuitive connection to your baby. I also hold space for those navigating birth after trauma, offering support that centers your autonomy and sense of agency at every step. Birth is not just a destination, it’s a journey of becoming. I’d be honored to support you through it. Let’s connect and explore what that support can look like for you.

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. And she shows up—fully and wholeheartedly—for every single person she works with. If you’re hoping for a birth experience where you feel seen, supported, and empowered, you won’t find anyone more dedicated. What Hailey is doing is more than a service—it’s a gift.

Hello! I am Evie Ward, Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, Registered Nurse, and the Founder of New Leaf Sleep Consulting. I became passionate about helping families improve their child’s sleep when I experienced the life-changing support from a sleep consultant with my first son. I create a customized sleep plan based on your child's needs and then we spend the next few weeks working on improving your little one's sleep. I believe that sleep is the foundation of a happy and healthy family. My goal when working with families is to help everyone get the sleep that they deserve!

Recent review

When our son was 6 months old, I was so sleep deprived I could barely remember what day of the week it was. I was waking every 1-2 hours to console him, heavily leaning on nursing to soothe him, my husband felt helpless, and frustration had set in. I was referred to Evie and she responded to my message the same day, and immediately made space for a consultation with us. She was extremely compassionate about my emotions around moving our son to his own room and changing the routine of when I’d nurse. She heard ALL of our struggles and addressed each one with encouragement, non-judgement and thorough, unrushed conversation. She even took time out of her own vacation to speak with us during our 2 week learning period. She has a wide range of knowledge about infant sleep, she can relate with personal experiences as a mom herself, and she offers support not only logistically but reassuringly. Our son was sleeping 5-7hrs through the night by day two, self soothing, and quickly became responsive to a nap routine. She literally changed my life during a time of deep self doubt and I can’t recommend her more highly! Don’t hesitate to call her! Postpartum is hard, parenthood is hard, and we all deserve a cheerleader and good sleep!

I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She is skilled in baby positioning, helping to ensure optimal alignment for a smoother labor process. Additionally she has a great understanding when it comes to tongue and lip ties and body work. Her expertise made a huge difference in my experience. Beyond her skills, she has a wonderful sense of humor that puts you at ease. Her passion for what she does is evident. Her ability to make complex topics understandable and approachable was so helpful. Ashley gave great guidance on how to help labor progress naturally and it was instrumental in achieving the birth experience I desired.

I love my job! Supporting parents through labor, birth and postpartum is amazing, and rewarding, and what I feel called to do. I am a birth and postpartum doula, as well as a childbirth educator and a lactation educator. Having an understanding of your options is a big part of preventing birth trauma. Educating parents about how they can better navigate their labor and the medical system is a big part of what I do. I support folks emotionally, physically, with information/resources, and with advocacy (and photo documentation of their labor). We usually have some fun too!

Bryana is an amazing doula. The doulas from her agency are also amazing. I have had the pleasure of having her all 3 of my births. She is so knowledgeable & answered all of my questions. She was attentive when i needed her & was amazing during my births! She is worth everything. I felt loved & cared for as well as my fiancé had the same sentiment. We enjoyed her company & her support. She was amazing in every part of the process. I can’t express enough how much i would hire her over and over again. This last birth she started doing birth photography & while she couldn’t go into the OR DUE TO my hospital not allowing her She got amazing photos before and after we went in and came out and I’m forever grateful for those photos and memories & i cry when i look at them. The experience is over all blissful. Her and her doulas are attentive and answer questions in a timely manner & if i had more babies i would pick her and her agency over and over again. The peace of mind they gave us was everything! I recommend her to everyone truly.

Charity has helped me in so many ways throughout my pregnancy and my labor . I’ve had fears and doubts because of my mindset , I was terrified of the pain . I would have never imagine that my fifth child would be my natural home birth baby ! If it wasn’t for charity I don’t think I would have ever made it , her positive mindset and compassion pushed me to overcome the pain and bring my baby earth side . I can say no more how chaotic my labor was , it was the absolute best experience ever !!!
