Five years ago, I became a birth nerd. Long before my son was born, I found myself fascinated by fertility, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding. I couldn’t get enough—I was constantly reading, learning, and diving deeper into everything related to the childbearing journey. After becoming a mother, that curiosity only grew stronger. Rather than shifting my focus entirely to parenting, I felt drawn to deepen my understanding of birth itself. When my second child was born, I was grateful for all the knowledge I had gathered along the way—and the experience reignited my passion for birth even more. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting many pregnant friends, offering encouragement, information, and a listening ear. Eventually, I realized that supporting families during pregnancy and birth was more than an interest—it was a calling. To further my knowledge and develop my skills, I completed one of the nation’s leading doula training programs at Bastyr University, approved by DONA International. Today, I feel honored to walk alongside growing families during one of the most meaningful transitions of their lives. My goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based support so parents can feel informed, confident, and empowered as they welcome their baby into the world. ✨ Birth is powerful, and it is a privilege to be part of that journey.

My husband, of over 30 years, and I have three grown children. We are super excited to be living in Kitsap Co. again after being away for most of our married lives. As a certified Doula, postpartum doula and Childbirth Educator I enjoy all aspects of the birth process, providing kind, experienced support before, during and after labor. Your birth should be a beautiful, empowering experience in the environment of your choice. I will be by your side to support your choices, give physical, emotional, and informational support as well as advocate for you during decision making. Please consider me as part of your support team as you navigate this important time in your life.

Hi, I'm Tori, a birth and postpartum doula in Seattle. It is my goal to provide my clients with knowledge and resources to confidently navigate their pregnancy, birth and beyond. I know there is always more to learn and every birth is unique, so I am continually evolving to provide the best support possible. I am also a massage therapist specializing in prenatal and postpartum massage and utilize those skills in my birth support as well.

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.

I believe every birth is special and personal, blending my passion for the science of obstetrics with a deep respect for the spiritual and instinctive nature of labor. As a follower of Jesus, a wife, and a mother of two, I bring both professional knowledge and a heartfelt understanding to the families I serve, trusting in God's guidance throughout each birth experience I am honored to support.

Hi, I’m MacKenzie, a certified birth and postpartum doula! I’ve been serving families throughout King, Snohomish, and Skagit counties for the past few years. I’ve always had a deep love for birth, even from a young age! My passion and curiosity around feeding and lactation are what initially drew me to doula work as a career, and I’ve loved being able to support families not only through labor and birth, but also through those tender and often overwhelming early days at home. As I continue to serve families in their homes, birth centers, and hospital settings, it is truly an honor to be invited into such an important and personal season of their lives. My goal is to nurture a judgment-free space where each family feels heard, respected, and cared for, while also helping families feel empowered in their choices and confident as they find their own way into parenthood. In my free time, I love going on adventures with my family, or snuggling up with a good book and a cozy blanket, surrounded by my cats and dog.
