Picture
Traditionally, new parents were cared for by their families and friends after the arrival of a new baby. In our modern society many families live far from one another and this support for new parents is not always available. A postpartum doula can fill this role and provide the non-medical care and support that was customary in cultures throughout history. The quiet and reassuring presence of a postpartum doula can help make the transition to parenthood a bit easier.

Katie's Postpartum Doula Services:  

I am available to provide support most weekdays typically between the hours of 9am-3pm. I work 2-5 hour shifts depending on your location and your needs. My rate is $50/hour (I am open to a reduced rate for those dealing with financial strain). I serve families in Issaquah, Sammamish, Redmond, Snoqualmie, North Bend, Carnation, Fall City, Bellevue, Renton, Newcastle and Mercer Island.
