We highly highly recommend Seattle Doulas! We hired their service for postpartum support. All the doulas we worked with (Stevie, Esther, and Emily) are professional, responsible, very knowledgeable, and caring. We completely trust that our kid is in good hands because not only do the doulas have the professional knowledge and skills, but we also trust that they care and are responsible and trustworthy. In addition, as new parents we also learned a lot from the doulas about how to best care for our kids which helped us immensely in gaining confidence and competence with caring for our kid when we are on our own. We are also super appreciative of how quickly Seattle Doulas were able to schedule some support for us because we reached out last minute and in desperation and the support we got was a godsend. As other reviews have mentioned, they have great covid policy and if someone is unavailable they would schedule backup support so you get coverage.

We looooooove Seattle doulas!! We can't recommend them highly enough. We hired them for day/night postpartum support. Emily and Christina were our primary doulas and my husband and I both agree with previous reviewers - it was such a wonderful experience. They became part of our family and I'm going to miss them so much. You can tell they really really genuinely care about their clients, and the babies. We found both of them to be so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, thoughtful and helpful -- just really good people, we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them.

Emily and Christina came to our house several times a week for about 10 weeks. They helped us to build our confidence as first time parents, while ensuring we got as much sleep as we could in those early weeks. We learned so much about newborn care and breastfeeding as well. In addition to caring for mom and baby - the help with light housework was also great - from folding laundry, to washing bottles.

One thing that sets this company apart from working with a single post partum doula is you have a full team - so while you do get paired with the same doulas, if someone is unavailable or gets sick - there's coverage for you - and everyone on their team is equally amazing. They have very good covid protocol too - always wore masks, and all are vaccinated

Seattle doulas really fills a missing niche in that they offer very flexible services that can be just postpartum. Like many in the seattle area we don't have any family around. When I had my first I looked for a doula that was willing to just do a few hours a week postpartum and couldn't find anything that wasn't a huge financial commitment. With baby #2 I knew I was going to be even more in need of a few hours a week to myself. So thankful to have found seattle doulas!! I spoke with one of the owners while pregnant who answered my questions. Assuming you only want a few shifts a week no specific commitment is required in advance. After baby was born I let them know and they sent me bi-weekly emails asking when and how many shifts I wanted the following 2 weeks. Everything is very organized!. They do their best to have the same doula come to your home each time, but do have a team which is nice in case you need a specific time that doesn't work with your regular doulas schedule. Christina was amazing with my very fussy baby and I looked forward to her coming every week to give me a few hours to leave the house and run some errands or get some exercise knowing my baby was well cared for. She also had lots of great suggestions and didn't hesitate to reach out to her network of contacts with any she couldn't answer. Thank you so much seattle doulas for helping support me during the postpartum period.

We had a wonderful experience with Jen and Alise! They are extremely professional and accessible, and eager to offer perspectives and resources. They are also affirmative and accepting of the full range of preferences around birth. Alise accompanied me during my birth and was just amazing! She was with me every step of the way, offering support, water, suggestions, etc., but never in the way. I also really appreciate the support they offer postnatally! I just can't recommend them highly enough. Everyone deserves to be able to give birth with the support of a doula! They make the biggest difference!

I understand that with all the costs of childbirth it might feel hard to justify spending extra on doula care. That being said, investing in postpartum care with Morgan was one of the best decisions I made in bringing my first baby into the world. From day one, Morgan gracefully entered into our family life without a blip and offered nothing but support, wisdom, kindness and friendship. She has tons of newborn knowledge and (other than my husband) is the only person I could really relax leaving my baby with. She's a total pro. I suffered with some pretty gnarly postpartum anxiety the first months, and having Morgan's support in becoming a mama made all the difference.
