Aneke Roach

I am Aneke, a passionate calm birth worker with 28+years of experience helping future parents on their journey into parenthood, whether in the comfort of their home or any other birth place of their choice. I serve as a midwife and doula, so called monitrice. I think education is key for a good start as family, therefore I teach childbirth education/introduction to lactation, care in postpartum. Birthing a child is the most powerful intimate event in our lives, it should be treated with love, care and professional expertise in the most natural way possible.

I can't recommend Aneke highly enough. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions I made for my birth experience. During labor, she continuously helped position and reposition my body using different techniques to encourage my baby to rotate into a better position and descend. When contractions became most intense, she provided counter-pressure and massage that brought tremendous relief. During the pushing stage, she suggested different pushing positions based on my progress and used warm compresses to help protect my perineum. Her expertise, calm guidance, and constant support played a huge role in helping me achieve a vaginal birth. Most importantly, Aneke is incredibly experienced, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Every time we encountered a challenge during labor or breastfeeding, she always had thoughtful and effective solutions. She never stopped encouraging me, helping me overcome difficult moments, and giving me both the courage to get through childbirth and the confidence to continue my breastfeeding journey.

Rae supported us as a doula and birth photographer with the birth of our second daughter at St. Anne's in Burien, WA. Her presence in listening to our previous birthing experience, and our goals for this one, made us feel seen, known and held at each step of the way. Tiffany (birthing person) experienced Rae's care as steady, grounding and affirming, and feels that it helped her stay embodied even amidst intensity. Thomas (birthing partner) felt Rae's responsiveness was stellar, and that her instructions during labor were clear, pracitcal and kind. Rae's photography beautifully captured our perinatal chapter and served to support us in integrating our experience, as well as celebrating and honoring, the arc of our journey.

Joy was one of two night doulas that we used for the first six weeks of our twins life. Having her in our lives was invaluable, so much so that we extended her contract 2 weeks further than originally planned. She is knowledgeable, skilled and easy to talk to. She provided us with basic tips about baby caring and twin caring when asked, and showed immense skill and love when handling our newborns. We had her for 9 hours every night, which meant that I got lots of sleep but also someone to debrief the day on, and look for tips and improvement. She seemed genuinely happy to arrive every evening, and she cared for our babies as if they were her own. Her calming presence set us at ease, and the babies seemed to always be calmer with her as well. We have told many other pregnant friends about her skill, but recommend her to anyone looking for a night nurse you can trust.

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.

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 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!

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t sure what to expect when we hired a birth doula, but I can’t imagine our labor without Haley. She supported both my wife and me from day one. During labor, she stayed calm, guided us through every stage, and helped me be the partner I wanted to be. Her experience and steady presence made our hospital birth feel so much more peaceful and empowering. The biggest thing I noticed was how safe and confident my wife felt with Haley by her side. If you’re looking for a compassionate birth doula, pregnancy support, or labor support, I can’t recommend Haley enough. She was one of the best investments we made for our growing family.

This woman is incredible. I am so grateful to have had her by mine and my husbands side. My second pregnancy, labor and delivery I wanted redemtion from my first labor and delivery. And she helped deliver that. She was there to guide me in anything I needed. Any questions, she was there to answer. She had my back with every move that was made in the hospital. She helped my husband feel confident in the room. She helped me feel more confident while going through the surges. She took amazing care of me while I was in labor. She took pictures of my husband and I meeting our baby for the first time. She was there for anything I needed and that was exactly the kind of support I needed to feel. It's been 7 months since I had my baby and I feel like she's missing from my life 😂 you won't regret having her apart of your birth team. Thank you Bryanna for everything you did!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelby! Her compassion, dedication, knowledge, and genuine passion for supporting families shine through in everything she does. From the preparation for birth to the support provided during those precious and sometimes overwhelming postpartum days, Shelby brings a level of comfort, reassurance, and encouragement that is truly priceless. She creates a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free environment where mothers feel heard, supported, empowered, and cared for. Having someone so knowledgeable, patient, nurturing, and genuinely invested in the well-being of both mom and baby makes all the difference. Shelby doesn’t just provide a service; she provides a meaningful experience and support that families will remember long after those early days have passed. I wholeheartedly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for exceptional birth and postpartum support. Every family deserves someone like her in their corner!

We are so happy we hired Hailey as our doula! I was 37 weeks when we started looking and worried it might be too late but she stepped right in and made a huge difference for our family. We learned so much from her in such a short time and I felt like she really listened and supported my choices in labor and during the postpartum transition with our second baby. Compared to my first birth experience I felt so much calmer and more in control!! I think everyone should have a doula! We highly recommend Hailey and her services to any expecting family. Thank you for everything!

September 2026

We’re so grateful to have had Sampaguita's support in our birth experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind and genuine. As a queer and trans family, we felt completely comfortable in the space they created. They were also incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated the time they took to figure out what was most important to us around the birth, answer our questions, explain our options, and help us feel informed and empowered throughout the process. We always felt heard, respected, and supported. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and knowledgeable doula. We’re so grateful for the care they gave us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, affirming, and genuine support.
