LGBTQ+ Affirming Doulas in Seattle, WA

I am a registered nurse with 25 years of experience in labor & delivery, maternal and child public health, and pediatrics. I have been providing postpartum doula services to friends and family, informally, for many years. I have chosen to make postpartum doula care my full- time work because I believe that every birthing and non-birthing person deserves deep support after the birth or adoption of a baby. With an extensive background in caring for medically complex infants and children, as well as socially vulnerable populations, I am passionate about providing equitable, trauma-informed care to everyone. As your postpartum doula, I will support you and your family in the ways that feel best for you. You, your baby, and your family are always at the center of my care. When your body and soul feel safe and loved, anything is possible. Providing support to all families, with a focus on: ❤️ Families with infants who may require care in the NICU, including premature infants, medically fragile infants, and infants with special needs. 🧡 Families with multiples (twins, triplets, etc.) 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA+ parents 💛 Neurodiverse parents 💚 Birthing person/families who have felt mistreated, unheard or not valued by the medical and other systems in this country 💙 Anti-racist and equitable care for all bodies 💜 Please reach out to me for more information on other services available, including abortion and perinatal loss doula support.

As a compassionate postpartum doula and newborn care specialist I am dedicated to supporting parents during the crucial postpartum period, offering care and guidance as they adjust to life with a new baby. It is my pleasure to provide nurturing, non-judgmental support, help parents learn new skills, and feel confident in their abilities. From complete baby body care to assisting with newborn sleep, feeding, and infant soothing techniques, I offer practical support so you can rest, recover, and recharge. Let me be there for you, ensuring you have the support and space to enjoy your transition into parenthood. Day or nighttime support is available!

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.

**Hello! My name is Kate. I am a pediatric nursing assistant, postpartum doula, and nanny. I believe every family deserves care regardless of their ability to pay or their established social circle. I have a special place in my heart for medically complex families, helping them through the trenches and seeing the light and love a special needs child brings. I believe in creating a calm, judgment-free environment with open communication about how best to support your family. I practice evidence-based newborn care with a focus on nurturing parents to feel comfortable taking care of their baby in a way that aligns with their wishes and values. When I am not working, I enjoy Pilates, being outside, going on walks with my dog, and spending time with my partner and family. *I am currently only taking families with medically complex babies.*

While you're navigating your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, I’ll be by your side with emotional, physical, informational, and spiritual support that’s tailored to you.

Hi y'all! My name is Kaolin (Mi Cha) Cummins, and I am a multi-doula (certified birth doula, postpartum doula, multiracial, multilingual, 2-spirit, multi-momma, etc.) who primarily serves the Kitsap area, traveling up to 40mi. to the surrounding areas to provide care for QTBIPOC families. I am originally from South Carolina, and grew up all around the south, eventually moving to Kitsap due to the military. I've been here a while, but I'll always call the Carolinas my home. I am passionate about all things related to the cycle of life, from women's health to preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, life changes, and beyond. I've always had the calling to help others, and have been in caregiving(focused work with children with special needs and the elderly/disabled)/medical-related fields prior to becoming a doula. I realized after my second baby that my calling in life is to be a source of education, positivity, and support for new (and pro) parents through these changes, as one can never have or give too much support. I noticed the lack of QTBIPOC doulas in my area and realized that the lack of representation and access to providers that looked and lived like me was common everywhere, and that just won't do! Outside of being a doula, I am focused on pursuing a career as a CNM (Nurse Midwife) and am determined to mesh the Indigenous & Asian cultural practices I grew up with and the scientific and medicinal knowledge I am currently learning. I hope that in bridging both "worlds", we can foster person-focused care that will assist in creating fewer medical interventions in birth, and also provide exceptional care to parents who need medically necessary care but otherwise would not be able to attain it in other circumstances(i.e., low-income/wage disparity, inaccessibility to a provider of color, and LGBTQ+ conscious medical professionals, etc.). I believe access to information is one of the key players in having a successful birth/parental journey. I strive to create a judgment-free practice, to serve as a provider who assists in these beautiful changes in life. My goal is to leave the world better than I found it and to provide parents/caregivers with the informational and emotional support they need to get through life's events. You don't have to do it alone! Outside of doula work/becoming a midwife, I love spending time with my own little family, and doing anything creative/expressionist! I am a bit of an introvert, but you might catch me on the dance floor if the music's good!

I’m Hallie, a Perinatal Strength Coach and Birth Doula, and my passion is helping you feel strong, supported, and confident as you prepare for birth and beyond. I know firsthand how much is missing when it comes to truly preparing for labor—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally, too.

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.

Labor, Postpartum, lactation and Infant Care Specialist (ProDoula) Growing up, I was empowered having been around so many strong, independent women and it led me toward a path of wanting to carry that into my career. I believe that pregnancy and birth and postpartum are monumental life experiences that no one should have to do alone. Every person so matter their background or beliefs deserves support and respect as they venture through this major life transition. My personal philosophy of what doula embodies is a person who stands beside the new parent(s) to help with guidance, validation, and empowerment. For the last decade of my life I have been devoted to this practice, caring for and assisting with dozens of families to thrive in not only their family life but into their communities. And I hope to continue this practice for a long time.
