Hello, we’re Jessica, Autumn, and Jordan—three certified birth doulas (and photographers) serving families who desire to feel deeply supported, seen, and prepared as they welcome new life. We believe birth matters—not only the outcome, but the experience: how a woman is treated, how she’s supported, and how she remembers it. Our role is to be a calm, steady presence—listening well, praying over your journey if you wish, and holding space for both the intensity and the beauty of birth. Whether you’re preparing for an unmedicated birth, navigating past trauma, planning a VBAC, or simply want a trusted guide in the room, we provide evidence-based guidance, hands-on comfort, and heartfelt encouragement. Our hope is that you look back on your birth feeling empowered, informed, and cared for—body, mind, and spirit.
Working with Jessica as our doula was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy journey. From the very beginning, she was amazing—supportive, knowledgeable, and incredibly kind. Her initial consultation and two pre-birth meetings were packed with helpful information that made us feel so empowered and prepared going into labor. During the birth, Jessica was truly in tune with what I needed. She had this calm presence that grounded the whole room, and when we were in the thick of labor and forgot parts of our birth plan, she gently and confidently advocated for us. She also captured the most beautiful photos during the birth—images we’ll treasure forever. What amazed us even more is that her photography never took away from her doula support; she was fully present the entire time—I didn’t even realize she was taking pictures! A few days after our birth, she came over to our home to check in on us, making sure we were all doing well physically, mentally, and emotionally. She brought a huge, delicious jar of homemade bone broth with her, and it felt like the most thoughtful gift. We are beyond thankful for everything Jessica did for us. Her genuine care, compassion, and expertise made all the difference in our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience.

Way, Iskwist Sierra sanchez. Hello, my name is Sierra Sanchez. I am a descendant of the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Indians and a Mexican-American. I have roughly 3 years of experience under my belt as a doula and lactation counselor. I have supported hospital, birth center, and home births. I am confident in my skills and services and am devoted to continued development. This year I have really started focusing on bringing more culture into my work and connecting with my communities. I attended the first annual Returning from the Stars conference hosted by the Center for Indigenous Midwifery and completed the Cerrando Caderas Challenge with IndigeMama this summer. I recently began a part time position aiding Spokane Tribal Network in supporting local Indigenous doulas, such as myself, by providing Medicaid billing support. I look forward to future opportunities to progress the work we are doing in our communities.
I cannot say enough good things about Sierra. In addition to being a wonderful doula, she is also just a delightful human being. She is kind, caring, down to earth, funny, and she has a way of instantly putting people at ease. Even though she is young, she is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and wise beyond her years. Do not let her polite and quiet demeanor fool you though, as she will advocate for you fearlessly and assertively. Throughout both my pregnancy and labor, she spoke up for me on many occasions where I either couldn’t find the words or confidence to do so myself. This was my first pregnancy and I was scared and unsure of so many things and having her there to guide me and help me navigate this uncharted territory was invaluable to my mental health. She was able to educate me and my husband about so many things, including an entire set of comfort measures to use during both pregnancy and labor. If we decide to have another baby down the road, I will not hesitate to reach out to her again.

I am Bryana! A mother of 2 with over a decade of infant care experience, a passion for birth, and a passion to help families build a strong foundation for pregnancy, birth and postpartum!
Bryana is an amazing doula. The doulas from her agency are also amazing. I have had the pleasure of having her all 3 of my births. She is so knowledgeable & answered all of my questions. She was attentive when i needed her & was amazing during my births! She is worth everything. I felt loved & cared for as well as my fiancé had the same sentiment. We enjoyed her company & her support. She was amazing in every part of the process. I can’t express enough how much i would hire her over and over again. This last birth she started doing birth photography & while she couldn’t go into the OR DUE TO my hospital not allowing her She got amazing photos before and after we went in and came out and I’m forever grateful for those photos and memories & i cry when i look at them. The experience is over all blissful. Her and her doulas are attentive and answer questions in a timely manner & if i had more babies i would pick her and her agency over and over again. The peace of mind they gave us was everything! I recommend her to everyone truly.

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. My interest in birth stems from personal experiences and challenges, which sparked a dedication to self-advocacy and evidence-based practices. I believe in empowering you with the knowledge to make informed decisions and feel confident in your choices. 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 approach my work with a holistic perspective and a touch of humor—I've even been known to bring some dance moves to the delivery room if there's a killer playlist! 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. Let's connect—I'm here to help and excited to be part of your journey.
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.

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.
Charity has helped me in so many ways throughout my pregnancy and my labor . I’ve had fears and doubts because of my mindset , I was terrified of the pain . I would have never imagine that my fifth child would be my natural home birth baby ! If it wasn’t for charity I don’t think I would have ever made it , her positive mindset and compassion pushed me to overcome the pain and bring my baby earth side . I can say no more how chaotic my labor was , it was the absolute best experience ever !!!

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.
Every future mother needs a Dana in her court. She was a life saver during my high risk pregnancy, birth, and postpartum; just the friend I needed in the delivery room. The doctors wanted to rush me into labor, but Dana successfully helped me negotiate with them for more time. She helped me dilate naturally without Petocin, through visual, auditory, and physical stimulation. She taught my partner and I many exercises, techniques, and birthing positions we didn’t even know about. I also had her come by my house to do a postpartum body binding on me, which I highly recommend as it was very healing and relaxing. You just don’t know until you try it. Thank you so much, dear Dana! I can’t imagine my next birth without you.

Hey! I’m Victoria! I am a dedicated doula and currently a midwifery student, passionate about supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a mom of six, I understand firsthand the beauty and challenges of welcoming a new baby. I offer comprehensive support including placenta encapsulation, birth photography, and birth pool rentals to help families create a safe, memorable, and empowered birthing experience.
Anyone wanting to feel confident and supported in their birth experience I highly recommend adding Victoria to your team. We used Victoria as a doula for our second daughter and from the moment she was hired, access to her vast knowledge base brought so much comfort. She provided a listening ear, and a safe place for talking through my goals and fears surrounding birth. I appreciated her low pressure check ins from an experienced mom who understood the ups and downs on pregnancy. I was in prodromal labor for weeks and though there were quite a few false alarms, I never felt like burden. Including on our daughter’s birthday, we really had to fight to keep my body in labor. Victoria had continuous suggestions and kept us encouraged the whole 14 hour day. Her reminders of my goal to birth without interventions, affirmations that I was strong enough to do it and the untiring counterpressure were instrumental in me having the birth experience I wanted. She also captured beautiful photos and video of the day, did a newborn shoot, encapsulated my placenta, and to go above and beyond; surprised us the next day with a little birthday cake she baked for our new little girl. Everyone deserves a Victoria!

Former career nanny turned Full Spectrum Doula serving the Puget Sound + beyond. My primary focus is on postpartum care and I am extremely passionate about nourishment. I believe good food truly heals and I’d love to be a part of your journey!
Hiring Joy was the perfect decision for my family. Her experience and gentle demeanor put our infant, my husband and I all at ease. We knew our baby and toddler were in great hands, her communication was excellent, and she went above and beyond to support our household (and gave us the sweetest parting gift!). Thanks!

Hi there! I am a doula in the South-King and Pierce county area. I recently had my first baby and had a beautiful and successful home birth! Having that experience behind me I can honor the vulnerability that women are faced with in such a monumental moment in time. I believe that every birth should be protected and honored for the extraordinary experience it is. I value creating relationships with my clients that are friendship based and grown with trust and compassion. Every birth is different and unique and should be treated as such. I can’t wait to get to know you and work with you! :)
Felisha helped us welcome our first child into the world and we are SO grateful to have had her alongside us in that journey! She was always so kind and thoughtful, wanting our priorities to be heard and met first. When labor/contractions started for me, it all went rather quickly for me as a first time mom but Felisha was ready and able to come to me as soon as I needed her. She was helpful and thoughtful while I labored at home. She was absolutely needed to get through my labor and delivery. Having a second person (besides my Husband) that I was comfortable with to help me get through contractions, apply counter pressure, switch positions, and get water/snacks was everything we needed. We cannot thank Felisha enough for helping us welcome our baby girl into the world!

Hi there! I’m Aja, and I LOVE birth work. My passion started with my first pregnancy in 2020, and has only grown from there! My main goal and priority is doing everything I can to ensure my clients get the birth and postpartum they want. I believe birth of any sort and manner demands support, both mentally and physically. I am certified as a DONA birth and postpartum doula, and am also lactation certified. I just really love all things pregnancy, birth and baby related. I’d love to help you!
When we found out we were pregnant I was on a mission to have the best labor and delivery experience possible. That’s where the wonderfully talented Aja Gribble changed my life and made my dream a reality. Aja from the start was an amazing advocate for my needs and wants. We met up with my husband and spent the next hour and a half figuring out what exactly we wanted out of this experience. As a first time mom, my concern was going with a naturalistic approach at a birth center and having an unmedicated birth while maintaining a positive experience. Aja helped me find that and did her best to advise me on what my birth plan would look like if we were to incorporate all of my wishes into something doable. We also created a backup plan if the situation arose where we had to do a hospital birth. I felt so well taken care of and heard while preparing for my baby’s birth. Another strong suit of Aja’s is her vast knowledge of labor and being a mom in general. She was sending me tips left and right according to my wants and needs. When it came down to getting baby ready, she provided a list of exercises to get my daughter in position. I was laboring at home for the majority of my labor and Aja along with my husband, of course, got me through it. She showed my husband different ways he could support me with every contraction and I do believe it’s what got me to be dilated at an 8 by the time we arrived at the birthing center. She stood by my side for the duration of my labor and delivery and was nothing but positive and encouraging not only to me but my husband. Needless to say I am so happy with having hired Aja as a doula because her guiding me through this process made a world of a difference. Thank you Aja for being wonderful and being a part of our journey and making it that much better. We couldn't have done it without you.

Dear Mother, Congratulations on the new life growing within you! Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are sacred journeys, and I honor the beauty of this season in your life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and so is your baby. I am praying for you—for peace in your heart, strength in your body, and wisdom as you prepare for this incredible transition. Know that you are not alone, and that God is with you every step of the way. Hi, I’m Stephani, and I am honored to walk alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a Christian doula, I can provide a strong foundation of prayer and biblical affirmations to help you find peace in the unknowns of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether it’s through prayer, worship music, Christian hypnobirthing, or Bible-based affirmations, I will support you in creating a birth experience that reflects your faith and values. "I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." – Ephesians 1:16 (ESV)
Stephani provided post-partum doula service to me and to say that she went above and beyond is an understatement. She has an intimate knowledge of the post-partum period and great skill in nourishing a new mama. She was culturally-sensitive to our family, and there for whatever we needed - meals, massage, a listening ear. Stephani's attentiveness was a joy and comfort during a challenging post-partum period.

I'm a certified Birth Doula, Photographer and Videographer serving Seattle and the greater Puget Sound area. I also offer Maternity, Newborn and Family Photography Sessions at a discount when bundled with birth doula services.
Becky is a wonderful photographer and so easily puts you at ease. She helped me with headshots and general photos for my doula website, and I couldn't be happier. I usually feel a bit awkward in front of a camera, but with Becky it just felt like we were hanging out and happened to get some great photos :) I also know that she's fantastic with parents and kids (especially brand new ones!), having seen her in action in our community. Go for it!!

I am a full spectrum birthworker with a passion for supporting the BIPGM and 2slgbtqia+ communities. I believe everyone deserves support and offer my services as sliding scale for all those who need it. I specialize in holistic, traditional care that is backed by evidence, bringing head, heart, body, and soul into use when helping support my clients, no matter where in their reproductive process they are.
I recently reconnected with Sage and she asked me to post a review, since I was the very first birth she ever attended. Sage wasn't a doula when she was there for my kids births, she was just a friend who had given birth before, and who offered to support me when I was young, inexperienced and alone. I had a boyfriend, but they were his first kids too and we were both scared. Between us asking her to be at the birth, and me going into labor the first time, she learned so so much about birth and postpartum and taught me so much. I didn't go to a birth class but I felt way more prepared one she started sharing what she'd learned. When the time came, and I was in labor, I told her and she drove from Atascadero to San Diego, made the 6 hour drive in 5 hours, and was with us for the hardest part of the birth. I still wonder if I could have done it without her help and I really don't think so. Having her there with me was so helpful that I even asked her to be there for my son a few years later, and asked her to go to a friend's birth as well. I'm really glad that she's doing this now, even if it took her 15 years before she decided to do it. I'm so glad we reconnected and I could share this, and I'm so proud to be the very first birth she attended and supported.

Hello! I’m Jordan Cota, a doula, wife, and mother of five. Over the years, I’ve supported many women through various pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences—ranging from home births and VBACs to cesareans and water births, as well as different feeding and parenting styles. I believe that our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences deeply shape us as individuals and parents. While there’s no "easy" way to have a baby, the process teaches us how strong and capable we are. I love supporting women through the "fourth trimester" as they adjust to parenting and bonding with their new baby. My journey to becoming a doula started with the birth of my first child. I was young and unprepared, but my best friend instinctively supported me through a natural labor, and I felt empowered afterward. However, I knew I needed more tools and preparation for future births. For my second baby, I chose an out-of-hospital birth center with a doula and midwife, and just 21 months later, I had a beautiful home birth with my third child. My last pregnancy, with twins, led me to choose a hospital birth with both an OB and midwife.
I highly recommend having Jordan as your doula. Our experience with Jordan was 11/10; she was magic. Jordan makes everything easy. She listened to what my husband and I were each hoping for in our birth experience and helped us get there! We learned so much from her to truly understand all our options, to really make welcoming our little one what we wanted. We had a lot of questions and Jordan answered every question we had without fail, with both honesty and reassurance. If she didn’t already know the answer from her wealth of experience, she would find the answer and always follow up. No question was ever too big, small or silly; we always felt comfortable asking her. Jordan goes above and beyond. From arranging to stay nearby so that she wouldn’t miss a thing when our due date came to sending exercises to prep for labor to helping us postpartum, Jordan has become someone we trust wholeheartedly. We count ourselves very lucky to have her in our corner and will definitely call her if we are expecting again!

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.
Chantell saved my day! She helped me go through the birthing experience and I can vouch for her. I couldn't have managed it without her. I will recommend her any day 🙂

I am a certified labor/birth and postpartum doula. I am also a Newborn Care Specialist and a certified newborn sleep specialist and sleep coach. In addition to giving birth to 10 children myself, I have helped hundreds of families in the nearly 30 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.
We are very glad that we had tabitha for the first 3 months for our son. She is very professional and so compassionate. She is loving and caring and taught us so much about baby caring.

I believe that all people, but particularly people in childbirth, can do hard things because they are full of love and that love gives them power. I love seeing people experience that power, and I am passionate about protecting their wellbeing as they do so. As a doula, my goal is not to try to “save” you from the process of childbirth (you don’t need to be saved) or tell you how to birth, but to support you with reliable information, a listening ear, and practical help so that you can fully embrace your birth experience, no matter what it looks like.
Madeline is a close friend of mine and I was so excited to have her as my doula for my first baby! Unfortunately, I ended up needing a C-section not too soon after my "labor" started. Although we didn't get to thoroughly practice all the labor prep we had done together (i.e. birth classes, spinning babies videos, recommended books on labor, podcasts to listen to, going through my birth plan, etc.), Maddie was an excellent source of encouragement and helped me grieve the labor I didn't get. She was there for me in the weeks after my baby's birth and visited us multiple times while we were in the NICU, being an invaluable resource to us during a hard time. We are lucky to know her!

“I found my birth doula on Bornbir. After submitting my needs, I was able to connect with several awesome doulas that are within a local distance from me.”
“Bornbir is a powerful network. It makes connecting with maternal providers so much easier. It means supporting one another through this parenthood journey, no matter what stage you are in.”
