How Much Does a Birth or Postpartum Doula Cost in Shoreline, WA?

I’m Ivy, a certified Postpartum Doula and Newborn Care Specialist with 10 years of experience working with babies and families. I began my career as a nanny before becoming a doula in 2021, originally training in birth work and quickly realizing that postpartum care is where my heart truly is. I’m certified through ProDoula and Newborn Care Solutions, and I feel deeply honored to support families during such a tender and meaningful season. I love learning from other doulas, value collaboration, and am currently considering becoming an IBCLC as I continue to grow in this work. My own experience with significant body changes has shaped the gentle, compassionate, and non-judgmental way I support families through postpartum recovery.

My name is Rae Pittenger-Jimenez (she/they); I am a midwife, full-spectrum doula, and analog film photographer living in the Pacific Northwest. With over a decade in perinatal healthcare, my work weaves together clinical care with photography and writing, creating a body of work that is both interpretive of the reproductive experience and indexical to the unseen labor of family-building and parenthood. My creative and support practice is informed by years of clinical experience in prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum care, combined with my own experiences of pregnancy, birth, and parenthood.

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.

I am certified as a birth doula through DONA and serve women in the Pacific Northwest, specifically Kitsap County and surrounding areas. I do cross the Narrows bridge to hospitals in Tacoma as well. I do take Medicaid clients as well as tricare. Homebirth is near and dear to me and I experienced it for my births as well. It has also been a privilege to support those wanting to VBAC or birth in a hospital space. It’s exciting to learn about and practice Spinning Babies and other support measures to better serve birthing women.

Hey there! Congratulations on all that is to come. I am very proud to offer both birth and postpartum services. I have always been fascinated with the process of birth and pregnancy, and after having experienced it myself, I found doula work to be intentional and powerful. I believe there is no wrong way to deliver, and no wrong way to mother, as long as the mother has been educated and is fully involved in the decision-making process. As a doula, I bring education, emotional support, and friendship to this journey's exciting yet vulnerable time.

Hi, I’m Maggie! I’ve wanted to be a doula ever since the birth of our first son, Ethan, 14 years ago. His birth showed me just how powerful, vulnerable, and transformative birth can be, and how deeply support matters. When we welcomed our second son, Jak, my understanding of birth grew even more. My experiences as a mother have shaped the way I support families: with compassion, calm, and genuine care. I believe there is no one “right” way to give birth, only your way. My role is to walk beside you, support your choices, and help you feel safe, confident, and heard throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It’s an honor to support you during such a meaningful chapter of your story.

I am Bethany (Doula B), a Filipina American birth keeper from Renton, Washington. My approach to birth work is ancestral, holistic, and seeks to empower you on your birth journey. I accept Medicaid!

Hi, I’m Fiona Mortensen, founder of Little Pines Doula. I’m a certified postpartum doula, student lactation counselor, and a mom to two little boys under two, proudly supporting families throughout the Greater Seattle and Tacoma areas. My passion for birth and postpartum work began during my time as an EMT in King County, where I had the unforgettable experience of helping a mother deliver her sixth baby. That moment opened my eyes to the beauty and privilege of supporting families during such a powerful transition. Since then, I’ve welcomed my own children—first via cesarean and then through a VBAC—experiences that have deepened my appreciation for the importance of informed, compassionate care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. With a background in emergency medicine—including work on a NICU/PICU transport team and as an ER Technician at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital—I bring a steady, grounded presence and a blend of clinical knowledge and heartfelt support to my doula practice. At Little Pines Doula, I offer non-judgmental, personalized care to meet each family’s unique needs. I especially love helping new parents build confidence and connection as they adjust to life with their baby. Outside of doula work, I love exploring new parks with my boys, relaxing at the beach, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. At home, you’ll often find me curled up with an embroidery project and my cats, or sharing laughs and playful moments with my family. I believe joy and humor are essential, and I bring a light-hearted, down-to-earth energy into every family I support. I’m also passionate about learning and am always deepening my knowledge in birth, postpartum care, and lactation—not only to better serve my clients, but because I genuinely love continuing to grow. I truly believe the postpartum period can be one of the most beautiful and transformative times in a family’s life. It’s an honor to walk alongside families during this tender season—and to bring warmth, wisdom, and a few smiles along the way.
