Hi, I’m Fiona Mortensen, founder of Little Pines Doula. I’m a certified postpartum doula, student lactation counselor, and a mom to two little boys under two, proudly supporting families throughout the Greater Seattle and Tacoma areas. My passion for birth and postpartum work began during my time as an EMT in King County, where I had the unforgettable experience of helping a mother deliver her sixth baby. That moment opened my eyes to the beauty and privilege of supporting families during such a powerful transition. Since then, I’ve welcomed my own children—first via cesarean and then through a VBAC—experiences that have deepened my appreciation for the importance of informed, compassionate care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. With a background in emergency medicine—including work on a NICU/PICU transport team and as an ER Technician at Mary Bridge Children’s Hospital—I bring a steady, grounded presence and a blend of clinical knowledge and heartfelt support to my doula practice. At Little Pines Doula, I offer non-judgmental, personalized care to meet each family’s unique needs. I especially love helping new parents build confidence and connection as they adjust to life with their baby. Outside of doula work, I love exploring new parks with my boys, relaxing at the beach, and enjoying the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. At home, you’ll often find me curled up with an embroidery project and my cats, or sharing laughs and playful moments with my family. I believe joy and humor are essential, and I bring a light-hearted, down-to-earth energy into every family I support. I’m also passionate about learning and am always deepening my knowledge in birth, postpartum care, and lactation—not only to better serve my clients, but because I genuinely love continuing to grow. I truly believe the postpartum period can be one of the most beautiful and transformative times in a family’s life. It’s an honor to walk alongside families during this tender season—and to bring warmth, wisdom, and a few smiles along the way.

I am Latha Ram, a DONA trained birth doula, ICEA/Lamaze trained childbirth educator. My path into birth work began after my own birth experience opened my eyes to how modern birth can often feel overwhelming, clinical, and isolating. I found myself asking: when did women and families begin walking this journey without the village that once surrounded them? I created Dhatri to help families navigate pregnancy and birth with both evidence-based knowledge and compassionate support. My approach blends research-backed education with calm, grounded support. Some families want deep dives into research, medical evidence, and decision-making tools. Others want reassurance, emotional support, and someone who helps them slow down and reconnect with their intuition. Most families need both. I meet you where you are. My role is not to make decisions for you, but to provide you with evidence-based information, continuous support, and advocacy so you can make the choices that are right for your family. I support all birth choices - hospital, birth center, or home birth; medicated or unmedicated; vaginal or cesarean. What matters most is that you feel informed, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

Welcome to Mother Trees. I am a Registered Nurse, Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant, Pre and Perinatal Psychology Educator and Biodynamic CranioSacral Therapist., located in Newcastle, WA. Birthing a new soul is a sacred rite of passage. In our busy world we have forgotten how to be fully present to receive this gift. Unfortunately, most hospital births feel far from empowering or sacred. Deliveries are often induced, creating a faster paced timeline that can make communication between mom and baby more confusing and difficult. Taking time to slow down and listen deeply to your baby, your partner and yourself can be immensely rewarding. It is not what we normally do, so having a guide is helpful. This is the service I’ve been providing to new parents for more than 30 years. I have worked with thousands of breastfeeding families in hospital and home settings. It brings me great joy to provide support and direction during your transition into parenting.

I am a holistically-minded IBCLC lactation consultant. As an IBCLC I specialize in oral habilitation and tethered oral tissues, as well as assessing low milk supply, and pumping. I offer home visits in the Bonney Lake area, and in-office consultations at The Birthing Inn in Tacoma.

Hi, I’m Mehri. I’m a mom of two girls, and I truly believe there is nothing more important than helping a mother feel safe, supported, and never alone. I went through this-when you dont have any support, no one can understand you, even sometimes your friends or your family members. During my pregnant period I almost lost 2 my best friends because of I was expecting from them support that I never received, not because of they dont care, they just dont know how to deal with that. Life once surprised me with an unexpected home birth before the ambulance arrived. In that moment, I learned that staying calm, taking a deep breath, and having someone beside you can change everything. Since then, I’ve carried that feeling with me. I love listening, encouraging, making tea, holding a baby so a mom can rest, or simply sitting quietly when that’s what’s needed. Families often tell me that they feel calm around me, and that’s the greatest compliment I could ever receive.
