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.

Previous to receiving my certification, I was a postpartum nurse for 6 years. I specialize in creating tailor- made feeding plans for the families I work with. Every mother-baby dyad is unique which is why it can be so important to have a lactation consultant that can come up with a feeding plan that works best for you. I strive to meet your goals and am constantly checking in to ensure the plan we develop is working for you. I have much experience in but not limited to, pain with latch, low milk supply, breast refusal, bottle refusal, tongue tie, weaning and so much more. In my spare time I love to be with my daughters.

Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.

Susan has a natural ability to make you feel at ease, which was exactly what me and my baby needed during a challenging time with feeding. Susan brought a sense of calm into our household when we were at our most stressed and hectic. Susan is not only very knowledgeable but also incredibly empathetic and caring. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all my questions with patience, and provided clear, practical guidance along with consistent follow up support. Her gentle, reassuring approach has made me feel supported and empowered throughout my breastfeeding journey. I highly recommend Susan as a lactation consultant!

Hi! My name is Katie and I am. Momma to one nugget. I believe that everyone should have access to a doula and that every birthing person should get to decide how, where, and with whom they birth. Birth is a remarkable process. I am honored to witness the power and to provide support to people throughout pregnancy and labor.

Becky is a wonderful photographer and so easily puts you at ease. She helped me with headshots and general photos for my doula website, and I couldn't be happier. I usually feel a bit awkward in front of a camera, but with Becky it just felt like we were hanging out and happened to get some great photos :) I also know that she's fantastic with parents and kids (especially brand new ones!), having seen her in action in our community. Go for it!!

Dear Mother, Congratulations on the new life growing within you! Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are sacred journeys, and I honor the beauty of this season in your life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and so is your baby. I am praying for you—for peace in your heart, strength in your body, and wisdom as you prepare for this incredible transition. Know that you are not alone, and that God is with you every step of the way. Hi, I’m Stephani, and I am honored to walk alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a Christian doula, I can provide a strong foundation of prayer and biblical affirmations to help you find peace in the unknowns of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

"I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." – Ephesians 1:16 (ESV)

Recent review

Stephani provided post-partum doula service to me and to say that she went above and beyond is an understatement. She has an intimate knowledge of the post-partum period and great skill in nourishing a new mama. She was culturally-sensitive to our family, and there for whatever we needed - meals, massage, a listening ear. Stephani's attentiveness was a joy and comfort during a challenging post-partum period.

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.
