Hello everyone, my name is Dana and I am a Certified Birth and Postpartum Doula based in Lynnwood, WA. I proudly serve the Greater Seattle Area, including Lynnwood, Shoreline, Everett, Lake Stevens, Monroe, Marysville, and surrounding communities. My philosophy is simple: I believe in the power of the feminine. My mission is to help you embrace that power during childbirth and guide you through a restful, nourished fourth trimester. I strive to create a judgment-free zone where you can trust your body’s unique wisdom and feel fully supported. My approach is rooted in real-life experience. I have personally navigated three completely different births, giving me an unbiased, adaptive perspective. As a mother of three and a former paraeducator, I am highly stress-resistant and skilled at staying calm and present. I offer support that is Intuitive, Steadfast, and Bilingual (fluent in Russian and Kazakh). For postpartum care, I offer specialized services like Rebozo massage and the "Closing the Bones" ritual, focusing on holistic recovery. I am a lifelong learner, dedicated to ongoing education, and I come to every family ready to collaborate with your team.

My wife is currently soaking up every moment with our newborn so I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. Working with Dana was the best investment we made for our birth journey. After a long and difficult road to conceive, this pregnancy was incredibly precious to us and we were naturally anxious about the delivery. Dana was a wealth of knowledge from day one. When labor got complicated and it felt like we were headed toward an unplanned C-section, she remained our calm in the storm. Her expertise in positioning and her ability to help us navigate the hospital’s suggestions were game changers. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, we were able to avoid a C-section and have the vaginal birth we so deeply desired. She was respectful of the medical staff while ensuring our voices were heard. She didn't just support my wife physically, she empowered us to make informed decisions. We are forever grateful to have had her by our side and I cannot recommend Dana highly enough. As a husband, I was incredibly protective and anxious about my wife's safety. During a very intense point in labor, seeing her in so much pain was unbearable for me. I was actually the one who suggested a C-section just because I wanted her suffering to end. However, Dana remained our calm and steady guide. She didn’t dismiss my fears, but she knew exactly how to support my wife through that 'wall.' With her expert coaching on positioning and breathing, she helped my wife find the strength to keep going. Thanks to her, my wife was able to have the natural birth she so deeply wanted, completely intervention-free and, amazingly, without a single tear! Seeing my wife so proud of herself and empowered by her own strength was life changing. Dana didn't just support the birth, she supported our whole family. If you're a husband who is on the fence about hiring a doula, do it. It was the best decision we ever made.

I am a Certified Lactation Counselor and Birth/Postpartum Doula, and was called to this work because of my own experiences. I had a myriad of pregnancy issues, including loss, high risk medical complications, postpartum mood disorder, PTSD, and breastfeeding challenges. Like many families, we could not find the right resources, despite looking and asking for help. I don't want another person to fall through the cracks like I did. That was back in 2007/2008, and while more support systems are in place, we are still clearly lacking. We all benefit from having compassionate, non-judgmental help in the process of starting or adding to our families, and it brings me immense satisfaction to be that person for others. Show Less A scenic landscape showing mountains, a lake, and trees under a clear blue sky. My Philosophy I believe that every person has the right to a safe, respectful, and empowering experience when starting or adding to their family-whether through adoption, fertility treatments, or birth. This should be provided no matter their race, religion, beliefs, economic status, disability status, sexual or gender identity. I am committed to provi Show More My Services I offer a range of services to support birthing individuals and families throughout the pregnancy and childbirth journey. These include prenatal support, labor and delivery support, postpartum care, bottle-feeding/formula guidance, pumping and lactation support.

I practice trauma informed, perinatal, birth, and postpartum support for all birthing bodies, couples, single and single by choice parents, adoptive parents, and families on their surrogacy journeys. My support is queer competent, weight inclusive and intersectional, and it is always my priority to support people getting the care that helps them feel safe and seen, essential to the health and wellness of both baby and family. I know first hand how beautiful, challenging and exhausting childbirth and parenting is, and I come with a wealth of personal and professional experience to share with you.

Melanie Guymon is a superb doula. She spent nights with our little bub for 2+months, she gave us a reprieve and support during the difficult newborn days hard. We had a colicky baby and Melanie not only helped us advocate to our doctors that our baby might have reflux, but she also gave us superb tips on how to help ease her discomfort at night and during the day.  During her time with us Melanie also helped us prepare our baby to move out of the swaddle, and due to her tips, our baby seamlessly transitioned from her Snoo + bassinet and into her crib and a sleep sack. She continued to support us with sleep coaching as well, helping us with our babies sleep schedule, which has allowed our baby to sleep better than all of our other baby friends in a similar age range. We had Melanie start with us around the 6 week mark due to our postpartum schedule, and she was with us until just under 4 months. We could not have done this journey without her.
