Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Port Orchard, WA

I am Latha Ram, a DONA trained birth doula, ICEA/Lamaze trained childbirth educator. My path into birth work began after my own birth experience opened my eyes to how modern birth can often feel overwhelming, clinical, and isolating. I found myself asking: when did women and families begin walking this journey without the village that once surrounded them? I created Dhatri to help families navigate pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and compassionate support. My approach blends research-backed education with calm, grounded support. Some families want deep dives into research, medical evidence, and decision-making tools. Others want reassurance, emotional support, and someone who helps them slow down and reconnect with their intuition. Most families need both. I meet you where you are. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to provide you with evidence-based information, continuous support, and advocacy so you can make the choices that are right for your family. I support all birth choices - hospital, birth center, or home birth; medicated or unmedicated; vaginal or cesarean. What matters most is that you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

Hi there! I am Neha, a birth and postpartum doula based in Sammamish, WA. My path to becoming a doula was shaped by my own births and medical experiences at Northwest Hospital, Swedish Issaquah, and Virginia Mason. I know the power of a doula because I lived it twice, whose presence completely transformed my experience. She was the anchor that kept me grounded, providing the safety I needed to trust my body. I know that even the most empowered birth can be followed by a challenging recovery. My own postpartum transitions were marked by the reality of Postpartum Anxiety (PPA), a difficult breastfeeding journey, and a 5 finger diastasis recti that required patience and dedicated healing. These challenges were humbling, but they were also my greatest teachers. My Commitment to You: Full-Circle Care: Dedicated support throughout your pregnancy, labor and postpartum check-ins as you settle into your new life at home. Cultural Heart: A deep respect for your family's traditions and a commitment to honoring them from pregnancy through postpartum. Advocate and Empower: Empower you with resources and advocate for your choices in the birthing room.

Hi, I'm Alexandra (though many call me by my initials, ACE, for short!) My fascination with birth and deep desire to protect mothers and babies compels my heartfelt commitment to the families I serve. My deep and wholehearted devotion to the optimization of your prenatal, delivery, and postnatal experience is not only evident in my loving, hands-on approach, but also in the joy-filled outcomes we share.

I’m a DONA certified birth and postpartum doula who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey began by supporting friends through birth and postpartum while navigating the unpredictable life of a military family. A path that taught me flexibility, compassion, and a deep respect for the strength of parents. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a corrections officer, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and advocate fiercely for others. Today, I bring that same steady confidence to the families I serve through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Once a city girl and now deeply connected to nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness in my work as a birth and postpartum doula, infant sleep consultant, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I also provide traditional belly binding support to promote healing, grounding, and body awareness during the postpartum transition. As a mom to two spirited boys and two lovable fur babies, I know firsthand how messy, magical, and transformative those early days can be. My goal is to walk beside you with knowledge, warmth, and zero judgment. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, supporting your body’s healing journey, or finding rhythm and rest with your newborn. I’m honored to support families through every layer of this season- body, mind, and heart.

In every woman is a place where she knows how she wants to give birth. I want to be beside you to help you find that place. In past cultures, women circled around woman giving birth.

I love seeing people experience that power, and I am passionate about protecting their wellbeing as they do so. As a doula, my goal is not to try to “save” you from the process of childbirth (you don’t need to be saved) or tell you how to birth, but to support you with reliable information, a listening ear, and practical help so that you can fully embrace your birth experience, no matter what it looks like.
