Hello, we’re Jessica, Autumn, and Jordan—three certified birth doulas (and photographers) serving families who desire to feel deeply supported, seen, and prepared as they welcome new life. We believe birth matters—not only the outcome, but the experience: how a woman is treated, how she’s supported, and how she remembers it. Our role is to be a calm, steady presence—listening well, praying over your journey if you wish, and holding space for both the intensity and the beauty of birth. Whether you’re preparing for an unmedicated birth, navigating past trauma, planning a VBAC, or simply want a trusted guide in the room, we provide evidence-based guidance, hands-on comfort, and heartfelt encouragement. Our hope is that you look back on your birth feeling empowered, informed, and cared for—body, mind, and spirit.

Working with Jessica as our doula was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she was amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. Her initial consultation and two pre-birth meetings were packed with helpful information that made us feel so empowered and prepared going into labor. During the birth, Jessica was truly in tune with what I needed. She had this calm presence that grounded the whole room, and when we were in the thick of labor and forgot parts of our birth plan, she gently and confidently advocated for us. She also captured the most beautiful photos during the birth—images we’ll treasure forever. What amazed us even more is that her photography never took away from her doula support; she was fully present the entire time—I didn’t even realize she was taking pictures! A few days after our birth, she came over to our home to check in on us, making sure we were all doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally. She brought a huge, delicious jar of homemade bone broth with her, and it felt like the most thoughtful gift. We are beyond thankful for everything Jessica did for us. Her genuine care, compassion, and expertise made all the difference in our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

I believe that all people, but particularly people in childbirth, can do hard things because they are full of love and that love gives them power. 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.

Madeline is a close friend of mine and I was so excited to have her as my doula for my first baby! Unfortunately, I ended up needing a C-section not too soon after my "labor" started. Although we didn't get to thoroughly practice all the labor prep we had done together (i.e. birth classes, spinning babies videos, recommended books on labor, podcasts to listen to, going through my birth plan, etc.), Maddie was an excellent source of encouragement and helped me grieve the labor I didn't get. She was there for me in the weeks after my baby's birth and visited us multiple times while we were in the NICU, being an invaluable resource to us during a hard time. We are lucky to know her!

Working with Teresa has been an absolute dream. She is one of those providers that you simply cannot top. She is warm, communicative, and so so incredibly talented. I reccomend her to each and every one of my clients who needs overnight support I cannot accomodate. When I tell you Teresa is GIFT to the Seattle postpartum community I truly MEAN it. I tell my clients I would trust Teresa with MY own children if I were to have them and they can too. Her professionalism, background, and immense community impact makes her unparalled provider. If you have a question about it she has seen it, done it, conquered it. I truly cannot reccomend her enough. I also see this immensely benevolent side of her - this work goes far beyond any fee her clients pay. It's soul work. She wants to help. She cares. She is your VILLAGE. Teresa is the dream team member every postpartum client needs. I would reccomend Teresa without any hesistation for any of your postpartum needs.

I highly recommend having Jordan as your doula. Our experience with Jordan was 11/10; she was magic. Jordan makes everything easy. She listened to what my husband and I were each hoping for in our birth experience and helped us get there! We learned so much from her to truly understand all our options, to really make welcoming our little one what we wanted. We had a lot of questions and Jordan answered every question we had without fail, with both honesty and reassurance. If she didn’t already know the answer from her wealth of experience, she would find the answer and always follow up. No question was ever too big, small or silly; we always felt comfortable asking her. Jordan goes above and beyond. From arranging to stay nearby so that she wouldn’t miss a thing when our due date came to sending exercises to prep for labor to helping us postpartum, Jordan has become someone we trust wholeheartedly. We count ourselves very lucky to have her in our corner and will definitely call her if we are expecting again!

Recent review

We had the pleasure of working with Sanee for the first few months of our son's life, and we are so grateful for the care she provided. She was incredibly reliable, dependable, and brought a calming presence into our home. Her loving and attentive nature made us feel completely confident leaving our son in her care overnight. She quickly became a trusted partner and gave us peace of mind during a very vulnerable time. We highly recommend her to any family looking for experienced, nurturing support.

Autumn is truly experienced and always had an answer to my questions with a great balance between giving not just the benefits but also risks and alternatives to suggested interventions. Having her in your birth space means having a calm presence, knowledgeable guide and a strong advocate. I can’t recommend her enough!

I specialize in overnight care for new families. I maintain certification as a postpartum doula, have completed training as an advanced newborn care specialist, and have worked with over 50 families in the last three years. I become a member of the family I work with and am committed to being a part of your team. I am warm, personable, and develop a sense of mutual respect with my clients. As a doula and newborn care specialist I am akin to a walking, talking baby book that is forever being updated on current trends and safety standards.

Recent review

Meri is a doula extraordinaire. We slept so peacefully knowing our baby was well taken care of, loved and carefully watched all night. Meri is meticulous, communicative, thoughtful and a wealth of knowledge, especially for us first-time parents. Meri became part of our family during her weeks with us and we couldn't have survived that fragile postpartum time without her. Not only would we wake up to all the baby tasks done (perfectly), but she was a strong support system for all the postpartum changes for me as a mother. Hiring Meri was beneficial to our baby, our sleep, our marriage, my mental health and so many other aspects of our life. We already miss her dearly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for this type of care.

Hi, I’m Elena (she/her), a certified postpartum doula! I grew up bilingual, speaking German and Italian, and developed a deep love for connection through language. Becoming a mom changed everything for me, and it revealed just how crucial support is in those early days of parenting. It inspired me to follow my true calling: nurturing new parents and helping them build a strong foundation for this incredible chapter of their lives. My approach is deeply influenced by the German tradition of Wochenbett, which emphasizes rest, recovery, and bonding in the weeks after childbirth. I strive to create a nurturing space with personalized care that fosters connection, ease, and confidence as families grow into their new roles. I bring warmth, empathy, and a calming presence to every family I support, honoring the unique needs of each household. It’s a profound honor to walk alongside parents during one of the most tender times of their lives. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me exploring new places with my husband and son, practicing yoga, or simply soaking in the beauty around us.

A dedicated, capable, and broadly skilled Full Spectrum Doula. My skillset has flourished in the years I’ve spent in professional birth and postpartum care. Having supported over 300 families through pregnancy, labor and birth, and even hundreds more in postpartum, as well as a foundation of 20+ years of NCS experience, I am a seasoned Doula based here in metro Seattle / Tacoma. My competencies are built on the foundation of full-spectrum experience of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I walk hand in hand with families through first, second, and third births as well as the many in-between variations of the experience of growing family. It is important to me to practice with a calm and clear mind, helping to build your confidence and awareness early on, helping you assert your autonomy confidently to be in charge of your experience. At the heart of my work as your doula are the values of trust, honesty, reliability and non-judgmental support. There is no one right way to become a family. My role is to help you feel sure of what is right for you.

We truly cannot imagine how we would have navigated the first few months of new parenthood without Nori. Nori’s greatest strengths include her deep wisdom, unmatched knowledge of newborn care, and calm confidence that instantly puts parents at ease. She has a “magic touch” for soothing babies and helping them sleep, and we believe our little guy started sleeping through the night at 10 weeks due to Nori’s gentle, consistent sleep routines. (We were not sleep training at this young age—it was Nori’s consistency and routines she developed for us and our baby that helped our baby know it was time for sleep.) Nori also has a gift for coaching new parents with warmth and empathy: she taught us all the invaluable baby care skills we needed to know—diaper changing, addressing diaper rash, bottle feeding, sleep and bedtime routine, safe sleep and swaddling, soothing, bath routine and hygiene (nail trims etc), and more. She is the most (obsessively!) punctual person I know—we knew we could depend on her to arrive ten minutes early to every single shift. That consistency and reliability really put our mind at ease—my husband and I would excitedly say “tonight is a Nori night!” whenever she was coming and by 5 or 6pm, we already felt more relaxed knowing she would be arriving soon (and always early). She was a reassuring presence in helping us address a few early issues: a dairy intolerance in my breastmilk, and a (worrying-looking but ultimately totally innocuous) skin condition he had early on called transient neonatal pustular melanosis. For the first few months, the only person who could take care of our baby in a way I (the mom) could truly relax (without a single worry or needing to check in to see how things were going) was Nori—because she could provide him an unmatched level of attentiveness, care, and detail orientation. She would notice the smallest things, like a spot of diaper rash or whether to increase the oz in his bottles. Finally, I’ll add that in conversations with our friends about their night nannies and postpartum doulas, we have learned that Nori is truly one-of-a-kind—lots of our friends had wonderful experiences with their doulas/nannies, but no one was truly “Nori level.” She is exceptional and inimitable! We recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation to any family—she is priceless.

I became a doula because I am passionate about creating positive and nurturing labor experiences for all. I want to make you feel empowered to follow your natural instincts throughout labor so you have a deep sense of pride and accomplishment when you are holding your newborn. I will support any choice you make about how you wish to labor. I believe that true empowerment is about your ability to choose what is right for your body.

Hi! I’m Jaya Mallik (she/her), a birth and postpartum doula in Maple Valley, WA, where I live with my husband, Nathan, and our two daughters, Asha and Diya. My journey into doula work began with my own birth experiences. After an emergency first birth and postpartum depression, I found healing during my second birth with the support of a culturally aligned doula who empowered me and honored my values. Her guidance inspired me to provide the same compassionate care to others. As a Woman of Color and current DEI practitioner, I’m committed to addressing healthcare inequities and ensuring every birthing person feels empowered and supported through this transformative journey.

We can't say enough wonderful things about Jaya! She was a wonderful addition to our birth team and made both pregnancy and labor a comfortable and safe experience. Throughout pregnancy, Jaya was a great communicator. She was always willing to answer our questions and checked in on us as we got closer to the end of our pregnancy. When we met in person to discuss our vision for labor and delivery, she shared an immense amount of information with us and helped us craft a birth plan. She was respectful of all of our wishes and helped us to feel informed and prepared. We were unexpectedly induced before the end our pregnancy. When we found this out, Jaya immediately called us to talk things through. She was kind and gentle and made sure we had the information we needed. When she joined us in the hospital during labor, she brought with her a balance of both calmness and positivity. As labor progressed and we had to make decisions about care, she again made sure we had the right knowledge to make informed decisions. She supported both me and my partner as we navigated the challenges of labor, and helped to bring both joy and serenity into the room. Overall, Jaya was incredibly supportive, kind, and knowledgeable. She made us feel safe, listened to, and empowered. We would highly recommend her for birth doula services, and are very grateful for her support and wisdom.
