Cultivating Calm & Confidence in Birth and Early Parenthood
We love supporting families as they transition through the changes that come with welcoming a baby into their family!
We love supporting birthing people and their partners through the challenges and joys of birth. We are your go-to doulas for pain coping strategies, education, tips for efficient, uncomplicated labor and early postpartum support.
We look forward to supporting you at one of our local birth centers, your home or hospital. We provide support for families birthing in Seattle, North King County, Snohomish County north to Everett, and along the Eastside.
Get that Baby Out! Is a 3 hour workshop in the privacy of your own home that will provide you with the skills and information your need to have an efficient labor. Taught by Melinda Ferguson, a seasoned birth worker and educator of 20 years or Milla Blindauer, a birth doula with over 100 births attended.
We are here to help with birth planning, addressing fears, pain coping & decision making. We provide non-judgmental, compassionate support for expectant parents throughout pregnancy, birth and into parenthood.
“Milla is an exceptional doula. She eased so much anxiety from my first pregnancy for both myself and my husband. Her knowledge, flexibility and judgement-free communication are all the reasons why I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again. ”
“Melinda was with me in the hospital and gracefully led me through different stretches to help the baby lower through the birth canal. After pushing for a few hours my doctor came in to talk about the possibility of the cesarean. Melinda gave my husband and I great advice on questions to ask the doctor to help us get the most information we could before making a choice. I did have a successful VBAC. ”
