Midwives & Home Birth Midwives Near Me in Vashon, WA

Hi! I am Bryana, an experienced certified birth and postpartum doula and birth photographer that has a love for all things birth! As a mother myself I know how important it is to have support through pregnancy and postpartum. I opened my business with the hope of providing full spectrum support to families by giving them a steady, reliable presence, and by giving them a strong foundation to take on parenthood. Through advocacy, guidance, and continuous support, I ensure that my clients feel empowered and informed every step of the way. As a mother with a deep passion for caring for others, I understand firsthand the importance of nurturing and uplifting families during their journey into parenthood and that is exactly what I aim to do!

The support we need during birth and early parenting is intimate, it is unique to each person experiencing it. It is a vulnerable time, one in which we are forced to expose the most raw and real version of ourselves. We need personalized care that addresses our physical, and emotional needs. We need an expert who is committed to our process and our transition through it. I'm Carrot insurance approved. The best way to contact me is through my website www.wholeheartdoulas.com because messages come to me directly.

Hello! I'm a full spectrum Holistic doula, here to serve families of my communities.

Hi y'all! My name is Kaolin (Mi Cha) Cummins, and I am a multi-doula (certified birth doula, postpartum doula, multiracial, multilingual, 2-spirit, multi-momma, etc.) who primarily serves the Kitsap area, traveling up to 40mi. to the surrounding areas to provide care for QTBIPOC families. I am originally from South Carolina, and grew up all around the south, eventually moving to Kitsap due to the military. I've been here a while, but I'll always call the Carolinas my home. I am passionate about all things related to the cycle of life, from women's health to preconception, conception, pregnancy, birth, postpartum, life changes, and beyond. I've always had the calling to help others, and have been in caregiving(focused work with children with special needs and the elderly/disabled)/medical-related fields prior to becoming a doula. I realized after my second baby that my calling in life is to be a source of education, positivity, and support for new (and pro) parents through these changes, as one can never have or give too much support. I noticed the lack of QTBIPOC doulas in my area and realized that the lack of representation and access to providers that looked and lived like me was common everywhere, and that just won't do! Outside of being a doula, I am focused on pursuing a career as a CNM (Nurse Midwife) and am determined to mesh the Indigenous & Asian cultural practices I grew up with and the scientific and medicinal knowledge I am currently learning. I hope that in bridging both "worlds", we can foster person-focused care that will assist in creating fewer medical interventions in birth, and also provide exceptional care to parents who need medically necessary care but otherwise would not be able to attain it in other circumstances(i.e., low-income/wage disparity, inaccessibility to a provider of color, and LGBTQ+ conscious medical professionals, etc.). I believe access to information is one of the key players in having a successful birth/parental journey. I strive to create a judgment-free practice, to serve as a provider who assists in these beautiful changes in life. My goal is to leave the world better than I found it and to provide parents/caregivers with the informational and emotional support they need to get through life's events. You don't have to do it alone! Outside of doula work/becoming a midwife, I love spending time with my own little family, and doing anything creative/expressionist! I am a bit of an introvert, but you might catch me on the dance floor if the music's good!

Hi there! My name is Caroline. As a certified birth and postpartum doula, I'm passionate about supporting families to feel more confident throughout their reproductive journey. It is my greatest joy to watch families grow into their new reality through education, emotional support, and care for the entire family unit.

Hello, my name is Husna Shirzai, and I am a dedicated doula who is passionate about supporting families through one of life's most meaningful journeys. I believe every birthing person deserves compassionate, evidence-informed, and nonjudgmental care that honors their unique values, preferences, and birth goals. As a doula, my role is to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. I strive to create a calm, empowering environment where families feel heard, respected, and confident in their decisions. I understand that every birth experience is different, and I am committed to meeting each family where they are. Whether someone is planning a hospital birth, birth center birth, or home birth, I work alongside their healthcare team to help them feel informed, supported, and cared for every step of the way. My goal is to build trusting relationships with the families I serve, offering encouragement, comfort measures, advocacy through informed communication, and reassurance during this transformative experience. It is truly an honor to walk beside parents as they welcome their new baby into the world, and I am grateful to be part of such an important chapter in their lives.

Hi! I’m Emma Buchanan: follower of Christ, wife, mama, and certified birth nerd. I am a birth doula serving Pierce County, WA and surrounding areas. I believe birth is a normal, physiological, and deeply spiritual experience. I believe that birth almost always works best on its own, but I am thankful for skilled providers when needed!

I also want you to feel empowered and confident going into your labor, birth, and postpartum. If this sounds like your jam, let’s connect!

Labor, Postpartum, lactation and Infant Care Specialist (ProDoula) Growing up, I was empowered having been around so many strong, independent women and it led me toward a path of wanting to carry that into my career. I believe that pregnancy and birth and postpartum are monumental life experiences that no one should have to do alone. Every person so matter their background or beliefs deserves support and respect as they venture through this major life transition. My personal philosophy of what doula embodies is a person who stands beside the new parent(s) to help with guidance, validation, and empowerment. For the last decade of my life I have been devoted to this practice, caring for and assisting with dozens of families to thrive in not only their family life but into their communities. And I hope to continue this practice for a long time.

Hello I have been a birth doula for 5 years. I am a vet, mom of 7 and an Army wife. I love bonding and watching moms experience true empowerment in the birth room no matter what that looks like to them.

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.

My mission is to provide expectant parents with the tools and resources they need to have a safe and healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.

I'm a birth and postpartum doula in Seattle area.

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 became a doula because I am passionate about creating positive and nurturing labor experiences for all. I want to make you feel empowered to follow your natural instincts throughout labor so you have a deep sense of pride and accomplishment when you are holding your newborn. I will support any choice you make about how you wish to labor. I believe that true empowerment is about your ability to choose what is right for your body.

A dedicated, capable, and broadly skilled Full Spectrum Doula. My skillset has flourished in the years I’ve spent in professional birth and postpartum care. Having supported over 300 families through pregnancy, labor and birth, and even hundreds more in postpartum, as well as a foundation of 20+ years of NCS experience, I am a seasoned Doula based here in metro Seattle / Tacoma. My competencies are built on the foundation of full-spectrum experience of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I walk hand in hand with families through first, second, and third births as well as the many in-between variations of the experience of growing family. It is important to me to practice with a calm and clear mind, helping to build your confidence and awareness early on, helping you assert your autonomy confidently to be in charge of your experience. At the heart of my work as your doula are the values of trust, honesty, reliability and non-judgmental support. There is no one right way to become a family. My role is to help you feel sure of what is right for you.
