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.

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’m a DONA-trained birth and postpartum doula who blends city grit with grounded, nature-rooted care. My journey began by supporting friends through birth and postpartum while navigating the unpredictable life of a military family. A path that taught me flexibility, compassion, and a deep respect for the strength of parents. Before becoming a doula, I worked as a corrections officer, where I learned to stay calm under pressure and advocate fiercely for others. Today, I bring that same steady confidence to the families I serve through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. Once a city girl and now deeply connected to nature, I offer a balance of strength and softness in my work as a birth and postpartum doula, infant sleep consultant, and placenta encapsulation specialist. I also provide traditional belly binding support to promote healing, grounding, and body awareness during the postpartum transition. As a mom to two spirited boys and two lovable fur babies, I know firsthand how messy, magical, and transformative those early days can be. My goal is to walk beside you with knowledge, warmth, and zero judgment. Whether you’re preparing for birth, navigating postpartum recovery, supporting your body’s healing journey, or finding rhythm and rest with your newborn. I’m honored to support families through every layer of this season- body, mind, and heart.

I can't say enough good things about Lindzee! I hired her as a postpartum doula after I had a bad experience with my birth doula who never even followed up for my postpartum care. Lindzee was like a little fairy doula. Every time I turned around my water cup was refilled or something was done I didn't even think to ask her to do. It was amazing. She did day and night shifts in the first month. She was extremely helpful. I even used her again for one night when my daughter was 5 months old and went through a sleep regression. It was so refreshing and helpful compared to my bad doula experience. I highly recommend her!

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 3 years of experience under my belt as a doula and lactation peer counselor. I have supported hospital, birth center, and home births. I am confident in my skills and services and am devoted to continued development. Since 2025 I have really focused 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 their Indigenous doula training. I also began a part time position aiding Spokane Tribal Network in supporting local Indigenous doulas, such as myself. I look forward to future opportunities to progress the work we are doing in and for our communities.

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.

I met Harneet and wanted to have her help me through my second pregnancy almost immediately. I needed all the support as we have a very active 3 yr old. Harneet was amazing right from the first time we spoke to her. She clearly listed out all the ways she would support me and my family. I'm so glad she was in the room while I labored with my second baby. She was there to remind me to breathe, making sure the hospital staff knew what we wanted and didn't want, and didn't leave until I was moved to the recovery room. After the delivery, we asked Harneet to help us care for our newborn, and we're so glad she stepped in. Harneet was always available and on call (for the delivery), she is extremely punctual. She was my body double, caring for the baby, changing diapers, doing the baby laundry and even helped with the dishes so I could take a shower. If you need help during the most vulnerable and important times of your life, you can't go wrong with hiring Harneet!

I believe birth is not just a medical event — it’s a deeply personal, transformative experience, and the way you are supported matters. As a birth doula, my role is to provide steady, evidence-based support while centering you: your preferences, your intuition, and your sense of safety. I support families through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period with calm presence, clear information, and compassionate advocacy. Whether your birth unfolds exactly as planned or takes unexpected turns, you deserve to feel informed, respected, and supported every step of the way. I work with all birth settings and outcomes — hospital births, unmedicated or medicated labors, planned or unplanned cesareans — and I meet each family where they are, without judgment. My approach is grounded in current evidence, emotional attunement, and the understanding that there is no “right” way to give birth — only what is right for you. Clients often tell me they feel more confident, less overwhelmed, and better prepared after working together. I aim to be a steady presence you can lean on — someone who helps you understand your options, supports your partner, and creates space for you to stay connected to your body and your baby. If you’re looking for a doula who is calm, knowledgeable, and deeply invested in your experience — I would be honored to support you.

From the moment I decided to choose Olena, I have never regretted it. From the very beginning, Olena was incredibly attentive and supportive. Her two prenatal visits were incredibly helpful. She clearly explained what to expect during labor and helped me prepare for the upcoming challenges both mentally and physically. She demonstrated valuable pelvic floor exercises that gave me confidence and preparedness for my future labor. Throughout my entire labor, she was very responsive to my needs and ensured that my wishes and comfort were a priority. She worked closely and communicated effectively with the nurses and midwife, and her support was especially crucial when the question of a C-section arose. She confidently advocated for my preferences and helped my voice be heard. When the decision was finally made for a C-section, her support never wavered. Both my husband and I felt reassured by her steady presence in the operating room. One of the most meaningful moments for me came right after the birth of my son, when my husband needed to be with him and all the doctors were busy. I cannot forget the comfort of her hands on my face while I was getting stitches. It was exactly what I needed to feel safe and cared for. After the labor, she continued to provide me with comprehensive support. She taught me how to sit and breastfeed correctly, guided me through every step, and frequently checked in to make sure I was doing well. I truly valued her knowledge and genuine care, and she went above and beyond, sharing an incredibly helpful list of tips for newborn care, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding. Having Olena as our doula has been incredibly beneficial for both me and my husband. Her experience and unwavering support truly helped us through every step of this life-changing moment, and if my husband and I decide to have a second child, I know who I will choose as my doula.

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 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.

I have been supporting pregnant people for 18 years. I began my journey shortly after my own firstborn came peacefully into this world and the passion was ignited! I studied to be a midwife (CPM) with a number of excellent mentors and qualified in 2011. I have worked in both home and hospital settings as a doula and an excited to now be supporting this community of Clallam County. I am currently only working as a doula (non-clinical support).

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.

Hi! I’m a birth doula, childbirth educator, and lactation counselor with a background in osteopathic medicine and a deep passion for perinatal support. During medical school, I saw how the way we approach and nurture pregnancy and birth can shape early family experience, creating lasting ripple effects. In addition to birth work, I lead parent support groups through PEPS and am a mom of two teens. I understand how unpredictable and transformative the journey into parenthood can be, and my role is to help you feel grounded in the moment and ready for what comes next. Every parent brings their own values and lived experiences—sometimes joyful, always complex—and I offer steady support and advocacy tailored to your unique path.

Working with Jen was one of the best decisions I made for my birth. From the start, she brought a calm, confident, and grounding presence that felt so reassuring. She took the time to understand not just what my birth plan was, but why it mattered to me (which I think made all the difference when things didn’t go exactly as I originally hoped). Throughout pregnancy, she stayed in close contact and was always available when I felt worried or confused. Her guidance through the confusing days of pre/early labor and her arrival as soon as we needed more support made me feel really cared for. During labor, Jen really helped me cope with contractions and stay calm in between. She helped me get into a good flow and pulled many helpful things out of her toolbox (both metaphorically and literally) without disrupting my rhythm. Hospitals make me uneasy, but she helped me stay focused no matter what was going on around me. She kept me grounded when things got intense and I doubted myself. Jen interacted effortlessly with the medical team and brought up helpful questions I wouldn’t have known to ask (monitoring, IV placement, positioning especially during pushing). Between preparation during prenatal meetings and Jen’s encouragement and advocacy during my birth, I was able to stay confident and really be in the moment when my baby arrived. I can’t imagine going through pregnancy and birth without her.

Darby Merritt LM, CPM As a small-town local, I have a deep love for all things old-fashioned and being rooted in community. After spending many years on the road, my husband and I feel blessed to have settled in the PNW. We’re raising five growing children who are the light of our lives, with a focus on a deeply rooted, home-centered life—fostered at home through growing our own food, homeschooling, and spending as much time together as this beautiful life allows. Work Life – I’ve been attending births in a variety of roles since 2012. In 2016, I graduated from AAMI Midwifery School, and have been attending births ever since in a variety of roles. I currently hold an active CPM credential and am a licensed midwife in both Washington and Idaho. I maintain current certifications in Neonatal Resuscitation (NRP) and CPR/BLS, and I pursue continuing education each year to expand my skills and deepen my understanding of holistic health. Supporting families through the sacred journey of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum brings me profound purpose and joy. I believe in the strength of women and families, the power of autonomy, and the importance of true informed consent. It is an honor to walk alongside families during these life-changing moments.

I would highly recommend Darby as a midwife! As a first time mom she was so informative and gave me all the knowledge I needed at every appointment. She aligned so well with my views of wanting a natural, calm, as God designed birth. My birth experience was long and intense as are many but she always remained calm and collected. Giving me assurance that my body would do as it was created to. She embodies knowledge, a sense of calm, and an excitement for new life. She stands by a women’s right to choose how her birth and baby will be brought into this world. Thank you Darby, I look back at my birth with awe of my body and what it can do through patience and perseverance. I wouldn’t change a thing.
