I believe birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, transformative experience, and the way you are supported matters. As a birth doula, my role is to provide steady, evidence-based support while centering you: your preferences, your intuition, and your sense of safety. I support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period with calm presence, clear information, and compassionate advocacy. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported every step of the way. I work with all birth settings and outcomes — hospital births, unmedicated or medicated labors, planned or unplanned cesareans — and I meet each family where they are, without judgment. My approach is grounded in current evidence, emotional attunement, and the understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth — only what is right for you. Clients often tell me they feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better prepared after working together. I aim to be a steady presence you can lean on — someone who helps you understand your options, supports your partner, and creates space for you to stay connected to your body and your baby. If you’re looking for a doula who is calm, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in your experience — I would be honored to support you.

I truly can’t say enough wonderful things about Olena. As first-time parents, there were so many unknowns, and having someone so knowledgeable, calm, and compassionate by our side made such a difference. During labor and delivery, she was exactly the presence I needed. She knew when to step in with guidance, comfort, and encouragement, and when to simply be there and let my husband and me have our moment. She helped me feel grounded during some of the most intense parts of labor and was also an incredible support to my husband, helping him know how to best support me. What stood out most was how deeply she cared. I never felt like I was just another client. She was thoughtful, attentive, patient, and completely present throughout the entire experience. Having her there gave both of us an added sense of confidence and comfort during one of the biggest moments of our lives. Looking back on the birth of our baby, I’m so grateful she was part of it. I would recommend her without hesitation to any expecting family. She will always hold such a special place in our birth story. ??

Our birth doulas, postpartum doulas and overnight newborn care specialists are certified, insured and background-checked, and each one went through our own evaluation before meeting a family. You work with one coordinated plan: a primary doula, a vetted backup arranged in advance and a coordinator who keeps the schedule steady if your baby comes early or a shift has to move. Services: birth doula support (prenatal visits, continuous labor support, a postpartum visit), daytime postpartum doula care, overnight newborn care, and private childbirth and newborn care classes at home or online in South Florida. I am a CAPPA-certified birth doula and childbirth educator, a certified postpartum doula (Doula Link) and a breastfeeding counselor (AHEC); I speak English and Russian. Motheretreat is an approved provider for Carrot and Maven employer benefits and holds a 4.9 rating on Google from 190+ families.

I cannot recommend Inara Arauz enough! From the moment she became part of our journey, she brought so much warmth, compassion, and reassurance during both my birth and postpartum experience. As my birth doula, Inara was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and calming. She helped me feel informed, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Her presence made such a meaningful difference during one of the most important moments of my life. As my postpartum doula, Inara continued to go above and beyond. She was so sweet, kind, and unbelievably patient with my baby girl. Watching the love and gentle care she showed my daughter gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to rest knowing she was in the very best hands. She also offered encouragement, guidance, and support when I needed it most as a new mom. I also want to give a special thank you to Laila, who cared for us as my postpartum doula on several nights. She was equally kind, compassionate, and attentive, and I always felt confident leaving my baby girl in her care. Her calm presence and genuine love for babies made those nights so much easier for our family. Both Inara and Laila have hearts of gold, and I am forever grateful for everything they did for our family. If you’re looking for a birth or postpartum doula who is experienced, caring, and truly passionate about what they do, I wholeheartedly recommend them. They made such a positive impact on our lives, and we will always cherish the support they gave us during this special time.

Инара- приятный в общении человек и хороший специалист своего дела. С первой минуты знакомства с ней было максимально комфортно общаться. Она уточняла как я хочу чтоб прошли роды, какую музыку хочу и даже какие аромасвечи, то, о чем я даже и не задумывалась, но это добавило комфорта и спокойствия в процессе родов. У Инары с собой был целый чемодан всевозможных атрибутов, помогающих расслабиться и снять боль во время схваток. Также она помогала проживать схватки, делая массаж поясницы, объясняла как правильно дышать и что делать во время потуг, помогла правильно приложить малыша к груди и сделала фото и видео процесса родов, по моей просьбе. Когда начались схватки, Инара приехала за мной, и подъехав к госпиталю мне показалось, что схватки были ложными. Тогда мы решили поехать на пляж, сделать пару упражнений и прогуляться, чтоб понять реально ли нам пора в госпиталь, или это ложная тревога. Это был незабываемый вечер на пляже перед родами и потом отличная поддержка во время родов, что бесценно! Особенно, когда ты в чужой стране с не самым лучшим знанием языка, такая поддержка необходима, очень рада, что в такой важный момент Инара была со мной.

Liza Hameza

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.

Hello everyone, my name is Dana and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Lynnwood, WA. I proudly serve the Greater Seattle Area, including Lynnwood, Shoreline, Everett, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, and surrounding communities. My philosophy is simple: I believe in the power of the feminine. My mission is to help you embrace that power during childbirth and guide you through a restful, nourished fourth trimester. I strive to create a judgment-free zone where you can trust your body’s unique wisdom and feel fully supported. My approach is rooted in real-life experience. I have personally navigated three completely different births, giving me an unbiased, adaptive perspective. As a mother of three and a former paraeducator, I am highly stress-resistant and skilled at staying calm and present. I offer support that is Intuitive, Steadfast, and Bilingual (fluent in Russian and Kazakh). For postpartum care, I offer specialized services like Rebozo massage and the "Closing the Bones" ritual, focusing on holistic recovery. I am a lifelong learner, dedicated to ongoing education, and I come to every family ready to collaborate with your team.

We had such a wonderful experience with our doula, Dana. She was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and caring throughout the entire process. Her calm presence and encouragement made me feel confident and reassured during labor, and she was always there when I needed guidance or support. Dana truly went above and beyond to make sure both my baby and I were comfortable and well cared for. I’m so grateful for her compassion, professionalism, and dedication. I highly recommend Dana to any expecting family looking for an amazing doula.

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.
