Hiring Joy was the perfect decision for my family. Her experience and gentle demeanor put our infant, my husband and I all at ease. We knew our baby and toddler were in great hands, her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to support our household (and gave us the sweetest parting gift!). Thanks!

I am a holistically-minded IBCLC lactation consultant. As an IBCLC I specialize in oral habilitation and tethered oral tissues, as well as assessing low milk supply, and pumping. I offer home visits in the Bonney Lake area, and in-office consultations at The Birthing Inn in Tacoma.

Recent review

We had the privilege of having Zoe as our overnight postpartum doula for our second child. It was great having such a warm, friendly, and supportive presence in the house while most of the rest of the folks in the house were asleep. She was a huge help during our struggles with breastfeeding and our daughter's jaundice treatment, as well as with all the baby-related chores that seem small but add up quickly. I could rest assured that Baby was cared for and that I wouldn't wake up to a bin full of used baby bottles and pumping supplies to wash. Even our 3 year old really warmed up to her, even though she was mostly here during his sleeping hours. We felt very well supported and Zoe's visits were the perfect way to reset during the newborn+toddler struggle.

Labor, Postpartum, lactation and Infant Care Specialist (ProDoula) Growing up, I was empowered having been around so many strong, independent women and it led me toward a path of wanting to carry that into my career. I believe that pregnancy and birth and postpartum are monumental life experiences that no one should have to do alone. Every person so matter their background or beliefs deserves support and respect as they venture through this major life transition. My personal philosophy of what doula embodies is a person who stands beside the new parent(s) to help with guidance, validation, and empowerment. For the last decade of my life I have been devoted to this practice, caring for and assisting with dozens of families to thrive in not only their family life but into their communities. And I hope to continue this practice for a long time.

I believe in fostering a safe and empowering environment for both parents and children, with a focus on kindness, communication, and education. The combination of offering childcare and birth services has been an incredibly rewarding journey.

Hey! I’m Victoria! I am a dedicated doula and currently a midwifery student, passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a mom of six, I understand firsthand the beauty and challenges of welcoming a new baby. I offer comprehensive support including placenta encapsulation, birth photography, and birth pool rentals to help families create a safe, memorable, and empowered birthing experience.

Recent review

Anyone wanting to feel confident and supported in their birth experience I highly recommend adding Victoria to your team. We used Victoria as a doula for our second daughter and from the moment she was hired, access to her vast knowledge base brought so much comfort. She provided a listening ear, and a safe place for talking through my goals and fears surrounding birth. I appreciated her low pressure check ins from an experienced mom who understood the ups and downs on pregnancy. I was in prodromal labor for weeks and though there were quite a few false alarms, I never felt like burden. Including on our daughter’s birthday, we really had to fight to keep my body in labor. Victoria had continuous suggestions and kept us encouraged the whole 14 hour day. Her reminders of my goal to birth without interventions, affirmations that I was strong enough to do it and the untiring counterpressure were instrumental in me having the birth experience I wanted. She also captured beautiful photos and video of the day, did a newborn shoot, encapsulated my placenta, and to go above and beyond; surprised us the next day with a little birthday cake she baked for our new little girl. Everyone deserves a Victoria!

Hello! I am a mom of two, full spectrum doula and student midwife in Tacoma, WA. I’ve spent the majority of life supporting people in various and capacities, but found my calling in supporting families through the perinatal period. “It takes a village” is something I grew up on, but also stand and as a mom myself I know that finding that village can be difficult. My goal as your doula is to help bridge that gap and support you during what some consider a very vulnerable and changing journey. I aim to meet families where they are at and in ways that feel most comfortable for each client. I would love to connect and see if I would be a good fit for you!

Recent review

Débora is incredibly kind, patient, and nurturing, and she was truly wonderful with my newborn. From the very first day, it was clear that she has a deep and thoughtful understanding of newborn development and milestones—she noticed the little things, anticipated our baby’s needs, and always approached each moment with gentleness and care. Her cheerful and calming presence had a very positive impact on our baby’s mood and overall well-being, bringing warmth, joy, and steadiness into our daily routine. I always felt completely at ease knowing my baby was in her care, as she is attentive, trustworthy, and consistently goes above and beyond. I can wholeheartedly recommend Débora without hesitation and am deeply grateful for the love and expertise she brought to our home.

De’Angela is truly a gift. From the very beginning, she made me feel seen, supported, and cared for in a way that went far beyond the basics. She brings this calm, grounding energy that makes even the overwhelming moments feel manageable. She listens deeply, shows up consistently, and advocates with so much heart. What I love most is how genuine she is — she doesn’t just “do the job,” she connects. She encouraged me, reminded me of my own strength, and made sure I never felt alone in my journey. Any family would be lucky to have her by their side. I cannot recommend De’Angela enough. She’s compassionate, knowledgeable, dependable, and an absolute powerhouse of support.

Kalen was invaluable after the birth of our premature twins. We hired her for 6 months of daytime support. She was punctual, dependable, knowledgable, and clearly passionate about babies. She gave us much needed relief and showed us how to help out little ones sleep through the night! Thank you so much, Kalen!

I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. After obtaining a BFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah, I was able to tour as a professional dancer for many years. Upon "retiring" from dance, I returned to graduate school and obtained my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of Washington. My passion has always been to understand the inner mechanics of the body. I am a certified Level 5 Romana's Pilates Instructor as well as a MELT (Myofascial Energetic Lengthening Technique) Level 1 practitioner. Through my dance, pilates, and myofascial training, I used pelvic floor strengthening components for many years, but felt l needed to further my knowledge. Following PT school, I underwent extensive training in pelvic floor physical therapy and the treatment of women's health issues. I believe in looking at the body as an entire system rather than piecemeal parts in order to treat the whole person.

Hello, my name is Sharlene, a postpartum doula and a naturopathic medical student with a deep passion for supporting new families. My journey into birth work began when I was a senior in high school who had the opportunity to do my rotations at a hospital in Texas. Little did I know at that time that it was passion that had been born from that experience— it planted the seed for my future. Moving to Washington to study at Bastyr was a leap towards making my dreams a reality. Becoming a doula was another beautiful discovery, introduced to me by a professor who not only taught me, but also helped me heal in ways I never expected. Now, as a postpartum doula, I am honored to walk alongside new parents, providing the care, support, and reassurance they need during such a transformative time. I can’t wait to continue growing in this field and, one day, serve my community as a midwife and a prenatal ND, providing holistic care throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

I’m a mom to two beautiful girls, a passionate birth doula, and someone who loves showing up for families during one of the most incredible — and life-changing — journeys there is. Years ago, I walked away from a decade-long career as a lawyer and followed my heart straight into birth work. Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum feels like home to me — it’s where I come alive. Caring for others has always been second nature, but there’s just something about standing beside a family as they meet their baby that fills me up in a way nothing else does. My approach is simple — warm, personal, and rooted in trust. I believe every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and truly seen as she steps into her power. Birth is raw, real, and different every time — sometimes full of joy and laughter, sometimes messy, emotional, and intense. I’m here for all of it — holding space, offering steady support, and reminding you that you are never in it alone. There’s no script, no one-size-fits-all here. I show up ready to meet you where you are — tuning in, listening, and walking beside you every step of the way. My goal is to make you feel held, informed, and confident, so you can look back on your birth story with pride. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me soaking up time with my girls — whether that’s cooking up something delicious, getting outside, or cheering way too loudly at the rink for my hockey-playing daughter (my proudest role might just be hockey mom!). Nature is my reset button, and the sauna-my happy place to unwind, reflect, and breathe. I’m also fluent in Russian and feel incredibly honored to support Russian-speaking families here in the Greater Seattle area — though truly, my heart is wide open to families from every background and walk of life. If you’re looking for a doula who’s warm, grounded, and 100% in your corner, I’d love to connect. You deserve support that feels like a soft place to land — and I’d be honored to be that for you.
