I'm a natural minded doula in Ollala, WA. I specialize in fertility, pregnancy, birth, post partum, and lactation assistance, with a passion for home and birth center births.

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.

I’m a Seattle-based birth and postpartum doula trained through DONA International. I believe support should feel calm, steady, and deeply human. My role is to support you. Not to direct your choices, but to offer presence, reassurance, and a listening ear when it matters most. Whether you're preparing for birth or navigating the early days with your baby, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and cared for through every stage of your journey.

Hi! I’m Savitri, a full-spectrum doula with a diverse background in supporting families. My experience includes working as an infant teacher, substitute teacher, and nanny. I’m currently working toward my doula certification, and my long-term goal is to become an OBGYN nurse or nurse-midwife. I approach my work with compassion and without judgment. I believe you are the expert on your own needs and I’m here to offer support as you navigate the journey of parenthood. Outside of my work, I love creating art such as, drawing and ceramics. I also love capturing moments through film photography. When I am not making art, I am running or practicing ballet. I’d be honored to support you and your family!

Hi there! My name is Caroline. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, I'm passionate about supporting families to feel more confident throughout their reproductive journey. It is my greatest joy to watch families grow into their new reality through education, emotional support, and care for the entire family unit.

My name is Liza Hameza (Schaefer). I’m a mother of 4, doula, educator, and podcaster who’s spent 15 years studying birth in the fields. What began as a personal story has grown into a lifelong calling. Since then, I’ve supported over 490 births in different birthing settings, guided hundreds of parents through childbirth preparation and the first tender months with their newborns. Alongside modern doula practices, I weave in the wisdom of postpartum traditions I’ve learned in different countries - Belarus, Ukraine, Germany and Cyprus - rituals that honor a mother’s strength and nurture recovery. In addition to my one-on-one work with families, I’m passionate about teaching and mentoring doulas worldwide. I lead specialized trainings, and have been invited to speak at international conferences on birth and parenthood. I also created Oxytocin World, a podcast that brings together midwives, anthropologists, psychologists, researchers, and doulas to share knowledge about birth, parenting, and relationships. I believe birth is more than a medical event - it’s a profound initiation for families, one that deserves care, respect, and continuity. My role is to walk beside you in that journey: grounding, encouraging, and offering both practical tools and emotional support. Outside of doula work, I feel most alive when cooking, practicing yoga, running, hiking in the mountains, or just being with my family. These everyday joys keep me grounded and remind me what truly matters.

I am extremely passionate about helping you create the birthing experience that you envision! I am very lighthearted by nature and am able to uplift and provide positive assurance during critical moments. I want to make sure that you feel supported, comfortable, informed and heard throughout your pregnancy journey, start to finish.

HI I’m Vanessa, Bronx-born, now based in WA, and I’m passionate about supporting, educating, and empowering families through one of the most important moments of their lives: birth. As an Afro-Latina birth doula and spiritual healer, I believe birth deserves to be treated with care, respect, advocacy, and real support; not fear or pressure. I completed my Birth Doula Workshop Training through the Simkin Center at Bastyr University in July 2023, where I gained the hands-on training and knowledge to support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum care. My approach is equal parts nurturing and no-nonsense. I’m here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and heard every step of the way. Whether that means helping you navigate the hospital system, offering emotional support during labor, providing comfort measures, or simply reminding you that your voice matters. I’m in your corner. Always. I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. Every parent deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered while bringing life into this world. My role is to hold space for you, advocate for you when needed, and help you move through this experience with confidence, strength, and peace of mind. At the end of the day, I bring both heart and real-life energy into this work. I’m not just here to “look supportive” in the background. I’m here to support you for real. We’re going to get through this together.

I am a married mother of 3 and understand that moms need support. My heart is geared towards the emotional support and well being of new and expectant parents. So you don't feel alone.

Hey there, I'm Autumn! As a labor and delivery nurse turned birth doula, my heart is deeply committed to supporting women through their unique and beautiful birth journeys, especially those seeking the healing and empowerment of a VBAC. Having experienced a VBAC myself, I understand the strength and courage it takes, and I am honored to walk alongside you as a certified VBAC doula. I believe every birth is special and personal, blending my passion for the science of obstetrics with a deep respect for the spiritual and instinctive nature of labor. As a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mother of two, I bring both professional knowledge and a heartfelt understanding to the families I serve, trusting in God's guidance throughout each birth experience I am honored to support.

Hi! My name is Katie and I am. Momma to one nugget. I believe that everyone should have access to a doula and that every birthing person should get to decide how, where, and with whom they birth. Birth is a remarkable process. I am honored to witness the power and to provide support to people throughout pregnancy and labor.

I am certified as a birth doula through DONA and serve women in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Kitsap County and surrounding areas. I do cross the Narrows bridge to hospitals in Tacoma as well. I do take Medicaid clients as well as tricare. Homebirth is near and dear to me and I experienced it for my births as well. It has also been a privilege to support those wanting to VBAC or birth in a hospital space. It’s exciting to learn about and practice Spinning Babies and other support measures to better serve birthing women.

Hi! I’m Lyndsie, a wife and mother to 2 boys and all around “birth friend” I love spending time outdoors, grabbing a coffee and catching up with friends and am always up for adventures! I believe birth is beautiful, empowering, and transformative. It does not need to be coerced, feared or walked alone. It is my utmost honor to walk alongside women as they transition from maiden to mother. To hold space with a reassuring smile, and a joyful heart, while you bring your baby earth side in your full authority. I believe in connection and relationships. With me you are not hiring an attendant, you are forming a friendship and understanding, you are gaining a sister who loves birth and you and will hold you in all the ways you need.

Hi I’m Johanna! I’m a full spectrum doula, photographer, midwifery student, and mom to two little boys. I’m very passionate about birth and supporting parents on their journey into parenthood. My care philosophy is based on the idea that every parent deserves caring, respectful, and individualized support. I understand how much giving birth can affect parents and their families, and I aim to care for my clients as they go through this impactful experience.

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.

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!

Hello! I am available for postpartum doula work, as well as childbirth photography and nannying.
