Baby Prep
Birth to Baby Northwest offers multiple services that help you to not only enjoy a supported pregnancy but also prepare your body for an optimal birth. We have monthly meetings with the birth doulas, private classes tailored to your needs and massage and reflexology sessions to deal with the aches and pains of pregnancy and to prepare your body for labor.

Your Birth
Choosing the right doula can make all the difference to your birth experience. We offer support that is individualized to you and your partner's particular needs. As your doulas, we help you find and harness the inner strength and confidence that you already have inside you, empower your partner to support you in the way that only he / she can, guide you through the process of birth both at home in early labor and later at the location you have chosen to give birth.

After Your Birth
Birth to Baby Northwest offers postpartum doula care in your home after your baby is born. Your postpartum doula offers breastfeeding support, education about life with newborns and what is normal at this time, hands on help in the form of cooking, tidying up, laundry and whatever you need to feel supported and nurtured during the first few weeks after having your baby.
We also offer postpartum massages both in your home or at our studio in Ballard. |
My labor would have not happened without my lovely husband and the brilliant support of Emma. Though my husband was my rock during this time, it was all thanks to Emma and her style of guiding and aiding my husband throughout this challenging time. I remember my husband’s voice but felt Emma's presence of calm and tranquility. She never imposed onto our moment of laboring but instead was a great support. Though my birth did not turn out as anticipated, she worked very hard to maintain the integrity of our choices and desires of the birth plan we had written." - Iris Kennedy - birth doula client
