Find a Doula Near Me that Accepts Regence Blue Cross Blue Shield

We had a wonderful experience working with MacKenzie as our birth and postpartum doula. As first-time parents, we had so many questions throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period, and MacKenzie was always incredibly patient and thoughtful in answering them. She has a lot of knowledge and experience and was able to give us the information and perspective we needed without ever making us feel overwhelmed. Her prenatal visits were especially helpful in preparing us for what to expect during labor and delivery. She helped us understand our options, supported the choices that felt right for us, and advocated for me as the mom when needed, while always respecting that the decisions were ultimately ours. During labor, her calm and supportive presence helped both of us feel more confident during such an intense and unfamiliar experience. After the birth, she stayed with us to make sure breastfeeding was getting off to a good start. I also passed out after labor, and having MacKenzie there was incredibly reassuring. She helped me and my partner understand what was happening and navigate the situation when we were both exhausted and overwhelmed. We really appreciated that her support didn’t simply end once the baby was born. She was also a great resource during the postpartum period. Having someone experienced whom we could turn to with all of our first-time-parent questions made the transition into newborn life feel much less overwhelming. In addition, MacKenzie is a Carrot in-network provider, which was very helpful for us. She was willing to coordinate with us and make sure her invoices met Carrot’s reimbursement requirements, which made the reimbursement process much easier. We are very grateful to have had MacKenzie support us through such an important time in our lives, and we would absolutely recommend her to other expecting and new parents.

We had the pleasure of working with Layla for postpartum support after our first baby was born, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Layla is incredibly kind, patient, and reliable, and she cared for our newborn with genuine warmth and attentiveness. Her presence brought a sense of calm to our home during a time of huge transition. An added plus—Layla is registered through Carrot, which meant her services were fully covered through my partner’s employee benefits. This made accessing excellent care not only possible but easy. Thank you, Layla, for everything!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about our doula Rebecca. From the very beginning, she was attentive, compassionate, and genuinely invested in making our birth experience as positive and stress-free as possible. She was incredibly hands-on, always available to answer questions, provide reassurance, and offer practical guidance every step of the way. Her knowledge, professionalism, and calm presence gave us confidence during a time that could have felt overwhelming. Whether it was helping us prepare before labor, providing comfort measures during labor, or offering support postpartum, her dedication never wavered. What truly set her apart was how much she cared. She made us feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the entire journey. We are so grateful for her expertise, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our family. If you are looking for a doula who is attentive, knowledgeable, hands-on, and genuinely compassionate, we wholeheartedly recommend her without hesitation.

Ziya was my daughter’s doula during the stillbirth of her child. Ziya, your support was what got us all through it. You were excellent, even in the worst of situations. You were so calm and comforting throughout the entire process. You are such an amazing human.

Kelsi was my post partum doula and she was absolutely amazing - during a difficult time!! She sat down with us to talk about our postpartum intentions and was thoughtful about our personal considerations - work schedules, pets, gardens etc. this was so helpful to bring us together to help us be realistic about our expectations. When the time came, Kelsi was there for the birth. A blur to me now but I remember being dutifully taken care or. She was a supportive presence in the delivery and like a little magic creature , she tidied up after the ordeal whilst midwives tended to me. I completely trust her to take care of my home and my creatures, but me and baby above all. Kelsi’s food deliveries were exceptional and I still crave her food. Massages were great, moxa fabulous. A gentle but supportive presence, friendly and professional. I am so glad she is a part of those memories for me. Endless praise and thanks for Kelsi!!

Bonnie-you’re what I picture as a TRUE midwife. Not lingering and bothering and following. Don’t get me wrong though every person’s presence disrupts the birth in some way- and I was caught off guard had I not met you. But you making my kids waffles and just occupying my kids at times is what I picture as being a true midwife and the help up to go to the bathroom. Even though I had never met you I felt safer with you than the medwives who I’ve met many times and attended my birth. Although my birth was not an actual physiological home birth, and my needs were disrespected by everyone else and was completely ruined by the medwives and the worst experience of my life, You’re exactly what I’d want in an actual midwife for a home birth and what I wanted my experience to be and I think if you ever started offering non medicalized attendance some women would appreciate that. I won’t be having any type of birth attendants next time or ever again since it’d be way to triggering for me but I did appreciate you and my daughter still talks about that nice DR lady with the axolotl 😌(I know it’s hard to find traditional midwives and birth keepers in this area. Unfortunately mine had moved to far away and all the other ones I found were in the occult but now I’m thinking that’s common for licensed ones as well) and I’d totally recommend you for those who want non medical support if you switch from ‘doula’ to wanting to be traditional and just a true ‘with woman’ presence near by.
