Find a Birth or Postpartum Doula Near Me in Washington

I had Darlene as my doula for my first baby. She was very organized and I appreciated her thoughtfulness and prenatal meetings. She supported me through my transition between midwives and OB care. Postpartum, I utilized her overnight services which was super helpful as a first time mom.

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t sure what to expect when we hired a birth doula, but I can’t imagine our labor without Haley. She supported both my wife and me from day one. During labor, she stayed calm, guided us through every stage, and helped me be the partner I wanted to be. Her experience and steady presence made our hospital birth feel so much more peaceful and empowering. The biggest thing I noticed was how safe and confident my wife felt with Haley by her side. If you’re looking for a compassionate birth doula, pregnancy support, or labor support, I can’t recommend Haley enough. She was one of the best investments we made for our growing family.

From our very first phone call, I knew Lindzee and I would get along and work well together. I could not imagine going through labor without Lindzee by my side. When I went into labor, Lindzee came to our home and stayed through the night, helping me progress and supporting me through every stage. Once we went to the hospital, her guidance, encouragement, and gentle push helped me keep going, especially when we worked together to help get my daughter into the right position. Although my labor ultimately did not go the way I had hoped or expected, Lindzee was there every step of the way with love, support, reassurance, and comfort. She helped me feel heard and cared for during some of the hardest moments of my birth experience. One of my favorite memories that I still think about is when I needed a distraction during my long labor, and Lindzee and I ended up playing Tapple while my mom watched us. It was such a simple moment, but it perfectly captures the kind of support she gave me, helping me through the difficult moments while also making me laugh and feel like myself. We bonded throughout my long labor, and I feel incredibly lucky that I gained not only an amazing doula but also a friend through this experience. I will always be grateful for Lindzee and the role she played in bringing my daughter into the world. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

We are grateful for Teresa's overnight support after our second child was born. When she arrived each night, she jumped right in and quickly soothed our baby even during the challenging witching hours. She helped us get more sleep by handling baby care and washing supplies so that we'd have a better next day. Her flexibility in adjusting the start and end time for each night was a huge help as we navigated our newborn's ever-changing schedule and needs. Teresa was even confident with the cloth diapers we were using, which was a wonderful surprise. She was also sweet and patient with our toddler and cats as they were curious about this new person's appearance. She was a huge help in those early weeks!

My 4 month old twins went from horrible sleepers, up all night and spaced out sleeping during the day, to only waking up ONCE for a feed every night when I used Taeleonna for our sleeping needs!!! She changed our life 😭 and was extremely empathetic to us as new parents. She even reassured us constantly that we are doing our best and doing great. I recommend to anyone in desperate need of sleep. Our twins are 3 1/2 and have an amazing sleeping schedule. Thank you Taeleonna!!

Harneet was an incredible postpartum doula for our family, and we can’t recommend her highly enough. She was always punctual, dependable, and responsive, which gave us so much peace of mind during those early weeks. She quickly learned our daughter’s routines and provided excellent overnight care so we could get the rest we desperately needed. Our family also faced an unexpected medical diagnosis for our baby, and Harneet was a wonderful source of support throughout that experience. We always felt that our daughter was in caring, capable hands. We are so grateful for the support Harneet provided our family and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dependable postpartum doula.

Kate has been an indispensable part of my postpartum journey. Her first overnight shift coincided with me experiencing a postpartum hemorrhage. While my husband and I were in the ER navigating this frightening birth complication, we felt at peace knowing our newborn was in more than capable hands. It was a relief not to have to carry the mental load of infant care during such a stressful time. Given her own complex birth story, I felt that Kate could truly understand the curveballs thrown our way and meet them with grace and empathy. One of the biggest milestones of my postpartum journey has been breastfeeding on demand, and Kate played an instrumental role in helping me get there. Since I exclusively pumped and bottle-fed my firstborn, I had little confidence that I’d be able to breastfeed my second baby. Kate’s gentle encouragement, practical lactation tips, and weekly check-ins gave me the confidence and support I needed to keep going. She helped me turn something I wasn’t sure I could do into a meaningful part of my bond with my baby. Early on, I was struck by Kate’s humility. She listened as I processed my anxieties out loud. She gave hand and foot massages with aromatherapy in the comfort of my own home. Her public health experience makes her a great resource for evidence-based guidance and WA state programs. As someone deeply embedded in our local community, she was also a great connector. Kate’s care extended to our home, too. She folded laundry, organized bottles and pump parts, decluttered our living spaces, and prepared comfort foods and nourishing meals. She anticipated my needs without requiring oversight. She’s proactive, observant, and a true self-starter. I would wholeheartedly recommend Kate to any mother looking for compassionate postpartum support.

My labor and birthing experience with Jacqi was beyond amazing! Her calm and collected presence is something I’ll continue to be grateful for. I, unfortunately, had somewhat of a traumatic laboring experience due to my high risk pregnancy, and if it wasn’t for Jacqi’s knowledge and calm demeanor I don’t think I would’ve navigated all the medical issues as well as I did. I had my laboring room full of love and support; I had my husband, my sister, mother in law, and Jacqi. With over 36hours of laboring, Jacqi supported me every second. She knew what to do and when. She remembered everything from my birth plan, which was so great, even though my medical situation didn’t allow for some of my preferences to be honored, Jacqi still advocated for the birth experience I envisioned. She was also such a light to have in my room and kept the spirits high with everyone around. She brought snacks, had all the tools to help me labor, and was so so so incredibly emotionally supportive. My first time birthing experience with a traumatic medical condition wasn’t something I could navigate without Jacqi’s involvement! I will 10/10 be working with Jacqi again for my next birth!!

We loved our experience with Sierra! From the first meeting her demeanor was warm and friendly, we were able to meet at a local coffee place and just chat initially and she really made it a comfortable experience. From answering late night texts and phone calls about general pregnancy symptoms, to birthing positions, to helping me with breast feeding postpartum, her knowledge and expertise has been priceless. She was very present for my labor and helped reexplain things the doctors were saying when I couldn’t quite process during contractions. It was wonderful to have another support other than my husband during labor, as well as someone willing to take photos so my husband could just focus on me. If you’re on the fence about having a doula I couldn’t recommend it enough! If we were ever to have another child in the future we wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Sierra again.

Carrin was made for this role. A friend recommended her after receiving such great care and I’m so glad I followed up on the recommendation. She is kind, professional, and compassionate and made such a positive impact on our pregnancy, labor, and newborn stage.

Eunice is supporting us as a night doula for our newborn, and she has been incredible from the very beginning. In those first couple of weeks, she not only cared for our daughter but also helped us fine-tune feeding amounts, adjust timing, and better understand our baby’s cues. Her guidance made such a difference. Our nights are now much more restful, and our daughter (now two months old) is sleeping more consistently and becoming more independent. Eunice is dependable, communicative, attentive, and truly attuned to our baby’s needs. Our little one is always happy to see her and continues to sleep more regularly through the night. We truly would not have enjoyed this newborn stage as much without her. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for our family.

Laura was an incredible support to us before, during, and after the birth of our daughter. She helped us feel prepared through thorough prenatal meetings and by sharing helpful local resources, in addition to the resources she provided herself. During labor, Laura was especially valuable in helping me manage pain and offering different laboring positions and techniques. Her calm, knowledgeable presence made a meaningful difference when things became challenging and we needed to adapt our birth plan. One of the things I appreciated most was how intentional Laura was about making sure we felt comfortable with the decisions being made throughout the birth process. She helped us slow down, understand our options, and make decisions we felt good about. I always felt supported and empowered to advocate for myself, knowing I had someone experienced in my corner. Laura provided compassionate, continuous support from preparation through postpartum recovery, and we are so grateful to have had her with us for such an important experience. I would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely caring doula!

We feel incredibly lucky that we found Nadine to help us during the first six weeks with our newborn. As first-time parents, those early weeks were filled with so many questions and having someone as knowledgeable, caring, and reassuring as her by our side made such a huge difference. From our very first video call to our last night together, she was professional, dependable, and incredibly kind. She had such a calm confidence that immediately put us at ease, but what we appreciated most was how much she respected us as the parents. She always made it clear that she would do whatever we wanted and follow our preferences, while also being there to offer her professional advice whenever we wanted her perspective. She taught us so much during those first few weeks, including how to change diapers, bathe our baby, burp him, take his temperature, soothe him, and so many other little things that we probably wouldn't have figured out nearly as quickly on our own. More than anything, she helped us feel like we were actually capable of doing this whole parenting thing. That confidence was incredibly valuable to us. She was also so flexible and accommodating with our schedule, which we really appreciated as new parents trying to figure everything out day by day. Knowing that she was coming in at night gave us a sense of comfort and peace of mind during a time when everything else felt so new and overwhelming. We call her our night angel! Looking back, we honestly don't know how we would have gotten through those first six weeks without her. We are so grateful for the care she gave our baby and for the support and confidence she gave us as parents. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any expecting or new parents. We truly couldn't have asked for a better person to help us through those first weeks.

We’re so grateful to have had Sampaguita's support in our birth experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind and genuine. As a queer and trans family, we felt completely comfortable in the space they created. They were also incredibly knowledgeable and we appreciated the time they took to figure out what was most important to us around the birth, answer our questions, explain our options, and help us feel informed and empowered throughout the process. We always felt heard, respected, and supported. We truly couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate and knowledgeable doula. We’re so grateful for the care they gave us and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, affirming, and genuine support.

My experience with Bridgette was fantastic. My main reason for using a doula was I wanted someone in the birth room to be a fierce advocate while I was medicated and in pain and unable to advocate for myself. She was that and so much more. I had to push for 4 hours to get my little one out after already being in labor for 18 hours. The doctor said I was close to needing the vacuum to get her out and I credit Bridgette's knowledge, encouragement of frequent position changes while pushing and encouragement to keep hydrated and nourished with clear liquids to why I was able to get my little one out without the vacuum. Another thing that was a great help was giving my overwhelmed partner guidance on the best ways of helping me and keeping him calm and involved in a stressful situation. In addition to that she got the BEST pictures of the delivery while respecting the fact I didn't want any from the angle you could see my more intimate areas. I'll cherish those pictures forever. My birth was a beautiful wonderful experience. I have to credit part of it to luck but the majority of it to Bridgette.

I cannot recommend her enough. Candace helped me through all three of my pregnancies! She provided unwavering emotional support throughout my pregnancy and postpartum, helping me feel seen, heard, and confident during such a vulnerable season. She gave me invaluable breastfeeding guidance and was an incredible resource when I developed mastitis and preeclampsia. Her compassion, knowledge, and calming presence made such a difference in my experience. Every family deserves someone like her in their corner.

After a traumatic birth experience with my first, Emily and Christina helped to make my second birth experience a healing one. They took the time to listen to both my partner and myself and truly hear our concerns. Having another person fighting in our corner made the experience so much different. When my partner and I didn't know what we needed Emily and Christina knew.

- Leah Thompson

I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She is skilled in baby positioning, helping to ensure optimal alignment for a smoother labor process. Additionally she has a great understanding when it comes to tongue and lip ties and body work. Her expertise made a huge difference in my experience. Beyond her skills, she has a wonderful sense of humor that puts you at ease. Her passion for what she does is evident. Her ability to make complex topics understandable and approachable was so helpful. Ashley gave great guidance on how to help labor progress naturally and it was instrumental in achieving the birth experience I desired.

Amanda is nothing short of amazing. She served as my doula for our third child, born in 2015 in Kenya. Giving birth seemed daunting at first, but Amanda's confidence, skill, and calm demeanor made everything easier. From the moment that I found out that I was pregnant, she was a source of advice and a trusted confidant, answering my questions and addressing any concerns that I had. When it came time for the birth, our little one was very reluctant to come into this world, but Amanda made the whole experience more positive. She advocated for us with hospital staff and doctors, allowing me to focus on my body and child. Of course, she was also by my side throughout the experience, offering encouragement and even some laughs. After the birth, Amanda continued her high level of care with post-partum wellness checks for both me and baby. We were very grateful to have her with us during this journey. Her dedication to me and our family is still something that I look back on with great fondness.

We hired Esme as a postpartum doula to help us get some sleep during the first months with our newborn. As first-time parents, everything felt overwhelming. We were also a bit worried about having someone new in the house at night, but Esme made it feel easy from day one—we felt comfortable with her right away. Esme was honestly a lifesaver for us in those early months. We feel very lucky to have had her support. Our baby would often wake up crying at night and was hard to soothe, but Esme handled those moments with such calmness and confidence. She clearly knows how to work with newborns, and that’s not easy to find. Our daughter felt comfortable with her, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. What stood out the most was how calm she stayed, even during more intense moments. That calm presence really helped our baby settle much faster. We would absolutely recommend Esme to any new parents—she makes a huge difference, both for the baby and for your own sanity and sleep.
