18 Best Seattle Doulas

One thing I hear time and time again as a Seattle newborn photographer is how the families I work with birth their babies with the assistance of Seattle Doulas. They love the amount of support a doula provides before, after, and during the birthing process. So I’ve created a list of 18 Seattle Doulas in the blog below. Each one provides a caring and supportive experience to the families they work with. In this list, you’ll find Seattle birth doulas, postpartum doulas, overnight doulas, and lactation consultants. You’ll also find doulas who provide support through placenta encapsulation, belly binding, and prenatal henna. Keep reading through the list for more.

PS: Are you wondering when to schedule your newborn photos? It’s never too early to plan ahead. Whether you are still enjoying the final moments of just you & baby, or baby has arrived, you can schedule your newborn photos with me, here.
