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.

I am a married mother of 3 and understand that moms need support. My heart is geared towards the emotional support and well being of new and expectant parents. So you don't feel alone.

HI I’m Vanessa, Bronx-born, now based in WA, and I’m passionate about supporting, educating, and empowering families through one of the most important moments of their lives: birth. As an Afro-Latina birth doula and spiritual healer, I believe birth deserves to be treated with care, respect, advocacy, and real support; not fear or pressure. I completed my Birth Doula Workshop Training through the Simkin Center at Bastyr University in July 2023, where I gained the hands-on training and knowledge to support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum care. My approach is equal parts nurturing and no-nonsense. I’m here to make sure you feel informed, supported, and heard every step of the way. Whether that means helping you navigate the hospital system, offering emotional support during labor, providing comfort measures, or simply reminding you that your voice matters. I’m in your corner. Always. I believe birth is sacred, powerful, and deeply personal. Every parent deserves to feel safe, respected, and empowered while bringing life into this world. My role is to hold space for you, advocate for you when needed, and help you move through this experience with confidence, strength, and peace of mind. At the end of the day, I bring both heart and real-life energy into this work. I’m not just here to “look supportive” in the background. I’m here to support you for real. We’re going to get through this together.

Hey, I'm Ashley, and I'm thrilled you're here. I am deeply passionate about supporting families through the journey of fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Whether you're considering a home birth, birth center, or hospital delivery, I am here to provide guidance and support tailored to your needs.

I live off the Puget Sound with my daughter and two dogs. I'm passionate about being outdoors, enjoy endurance sports, have a soft spot for animals, and enjoy adding a bit of spice to life when called for.

I am a certified labor/birth and postpartum doula. I am also a Newborn Care Specialist, a certified newborn sleep specialist, and Lamaze trained childbirth educator. In addition to giving birth to 10 children myself, I have helped hundreds of families in the 30-plus years I've been doing this work. I feel it really DOES take a village to raise a child, and I am always honored to be invited to that village. Whether it's assisting in getting information so parents can make informed decisions in labor or birth, or teaching new parents how to bathe their babies, or establishing sleep routines to help all household members to "sleep like a baby", the role I am invited into is an important one that I do not take lightly.

I believe birth is beautiful, empowering, and transformative. It does not need to be coerced, feared or walked alone. It is my utmost honor to walk alongside women as they transition from maiden to mother. To hold space with a reassuring smile, and a joyful heart, while you bring your baby earth side in your full authority. I believe in connection and relationships. With me you are not hiring an attendant, you are forming a friendship and understanding, you are gaining a sister who loves birth and you and will hold you in all the ways you need.
