Recent review

Having Carrin as our postpartum doula for overnight care was a true gift during an incredibly vulnerable time. She brought such a calming, supportive presence into our home. Her help through those long nights allowed us to rest and recover, knowing our baby was in good hands. But more than that, she was there to talk through some really tough moments when I felt overwhelmed. I will always be grateful for her care and the comfort she brought to our family.

I specialize in overnight newborn care as a Night Nanny and Newborn Care Specialist. With over 12 years of childcare experience and more than three years dedicated exclusively to newborns, I provide professional, consistent support for families during the newborn stage. My care is guided by a structured, baby-led approach that blends nurturing with practical scheduling. I closely monitor feeding intervals, sleep patterns, and developmental cues to create predictable routines that help babies thrive and allow parents to rest confidently. Gentle sleep shaping, consistent feeding schedules, and careful observation ensure babies are progressing while maintaining their individual needs. Whether supporting breastfeeding, supplementing with bottles, or managing overnight care, I focus on implementing systems that promote healthy circadian rhythms, restful nights, and steady growth milestones. My goal is to deliver calm, reliable overnight care while establishing routines that make the transition into newborn life smoother and more sustainable for the whole family.

Tae was a great night nurse for us for three weeks. The initial scheduling was flexible around our release from the NICU. We had no issues with her and would book again!

Hello! My name is Tierra Beaushaw. I am a Certified Labor Doula, Certified Infant Feeding specialist, and a certified prenatal yoga teacher.  After seven years of experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant in both hospitals and in-home care, I felt a deep calling toward Labor and Delivery nursing—especially after the birth of my first son. While pursuing my studies, I discovered the world of doula support and was inspired by the compassionate, hands-on role doulas play in the birthing experience. Following the birth of my second son, I made the empowering decision to shift paths and become a doula. Today, I combine my clinical background with empathy and intuition to guide families through one of life’s most transformative moments. My passion lies in helping mothers and babies feel safe, supported, and informed. No matter your birth plan or chosen delivery setting, I’ll be by your side—offering heartfelt care every step of the way.

Your baby’s birth is a unique and sacred experience that deserves to be treated as such. You deserve to feel safe, heard, and advocated for in your birthing experience, and making these goals come to life is my top priority. In today’s age of information-overload, decision making can be difficult without a partner to help. My practices are evidence based and guided by what your intuition tells us is best for you and your baby. From me, you will receive physical and emotional support as well as knowledge and evidence based resources. I am deeply honored to assist with every birth I participate in, and am hopeful to be a resource to you as well.

As a Doula, I get to support you as your full self and help your team empower you to have the best birthing experience possible. My approach is full of joy and prioritizes your comfort and needs. Throughout our time together, I will connect you to the resources and information you are seeking and empower you to step out of fear and into a deeper sense of confidence. I look forward to our time together and getting to champion your perinatal experience.

Recent review

Working with Aidyn was an amazing experience! From our very first meeting, she brought such a warm, calming presence that immediately made us feel supported and confident about our pregnancy and birth journey. Throughout pregnancy, she provided thoughtful guidance, evidence-based information, and emotional reassurance that truly helped us prepare in both body and mind. She always made sure to ask what we wanted to make sure to discuss or go over to ensure all our questions were answered. We ended up having a very short but eventful labor and delivery. Without Aidyn advocating for our needs and wishes and making sure we were comfortable and supported, we would have really struggled with how fast everything was moving and would have felt much more traumatic. Aidyn made sure we were comfortable, had everything we needed (and helped get it for us if we didn't have it). The physical and emotional support she provided during labor and delivery was vital and we are still so thankful that she was there with us. After birth, she continued to check in and offer postpartum support and was ready to help out in any way she could while I was dealing with the onset of postpartum depression and anxiety. She has been helping us navigate these first weeks with care and compassion and we can’t imagine having gone through this journey without her. If you’re looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, kind, and truly dedicated to helping families feel informed and empowered, I cannot recommend Aidyn highly enough! Truly one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Teresa. I had a complicated C-section and my son was 4 days old when Teresa started working for me. Her kind and thoughtful nature immediately put me at ease and trusted her with my son completely. She went above and beyond to help me and was very resourceful. As a new mother I had so many questions and she was patient with me and answered all my queries. The nights that she was off, she was able to find us another amazing doula to help us. I would definitely hire Teresa again on the future and recommend her to anyone who is a new mother and is navigating motherhood for the first time. Thank you Teresa!

I hired Callie as our postpartum doula and ended needing her for almost 6 months she was that awesome! She helped us navigate many feeding obstacles and challenges we faced as parenrs with a toddler already. Our baby had bad reflux and needed to change formulas she was amazing at many nights being awake for most of her shifts so I could be the best I could be by day. Totally amazing individual

Danna was truly incredible. She is not only responsible and attentive, but also has such a calming, supportive presence. During my labor she helped me in so many ways — from emotional support and encouragement to physical comfort, including massages and breathing guidance. I felt safe, cared for, and never alone. Her dedication and kindness made a huge difference in my birth experience. I’m genuinely grateful for everything she did for me, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting mom.

Hi Friends! My name is Marlo Knight and I am a certified postpartum doula and certified newborn care specialist as well as a certified postpartum nutrition specialist. I am located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I love supporting families during the magical and sleep deprived first weeks of their baby's life! I absolutely love what I do and do it with my whole heart. I am always looking to bring a sense of peace and calm to the homes I am invited into and I strive to create a judgement free space for parents to ask questions and express themselves freely. As a mother of 3 and a grandmother I bring with me lots of experience in nurturing little ones and their mamas. I can't wait to get acquainted with you! In my free time I enjoy my volunteer work, cooking (my love language), wine tasting with my best guy, family time with my girls and their families, and naps with my cat.

We had an wonderful experience working with Marlo as our night doula for our firstborn son! My postpartum experience would have been very different without her. Marlo was able to be in our home the first night when we got back from the hospital, when I was a sleep deprived mess of a first time mom - and I'm sooo grateful to have started my postpartum journey with her support . She is clearly a pro and loves babies - and I'm glad I was able to learn from her in real time. We continued to work with Marlo for 2-3 nights a week for 6 weeks, and always looked forward to her arrival those nights.  She cared for our son with so much love, and I always could breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's in safe hands overnight, and I could relax fully and sleep. Toward the end, Marlo helped me introduce a bottle overnight, so I was able to get my first nights of fully uninterrupted sleep! Marlo is an excellent communicator, always prompt/responsible and on time, and great with our very curious beagle dog, who welcomed her with open arms. Would absolutely recommend Marlo.

Recent review

I recently reconnected with Sage and she asked me to post a review, since I was the very first birth she ever attended. Sage wasn't a doula when she was there for my kids births, she was just a friend who had given birth before, and who offered to support me when I was young, inexperienced and alone. I had a boyfriend, but they were his first kids too and we were both scared. Between us asking her to be at the birth, and me going into labor the first time, she learned so so much about birth and postpartum and taught me so much. I didn't go to a birth class but I felt way more prepared one she started sharing what she'd learned. When the time came, and I was in labor, I told her and she drove from Atascadero to San Diego, made the 6 hour drive in 5 hours, and was with us for the hardest part of the birth. I still wonder if I could have done it without her help and I really don't think so. Having her there with me was so helpful that I even asked her to be there for my son a few years later, and asked her to go to a friend's birth as well. I'm really glad that she's doing this now, even if it took her 15 years before she decided to do it. I'm so glad we reconnected and I could share this, and I'm so proud to be the very first birth she attended and supported.
