About Shelby

Hello everyone, my name is Shelby Usher and I am a certified birth and postpartum doula serving the Pierce and Thurston county area of WA. I am also a travel doula. Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative, powerful journeys of your life—and you don't have to navigate it alone. My role as your doula is to provide continuous, compassionate emotional, physical, and informational support every step of the way while maintaining a judgement free zone. Whether you are picturing a quiet home birth, an unmedicated birth center experience, or a hospital birth with an epidural, my goal is the same: to help you feel heard, respected, and completely empowered to make the best choices for your body and your baby. When I’m not supporting families in labor or attending prenatal visits, you can usually find me spending time with my family.

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!
