Supported doulas support you.

Why Choose a Doula Collective

Note from the founder, Jen Laird

Why Choose a Doula Collective

Being a doula can be isolating. I know what it's like to long for a safe place to collaborate with another doula, seek professional advice, and to process birth experiences. I envisioned providing doulas the opportunity to be on the receiving end of the support they so beautifully give to their clients. In addition, I see the importance of doulas spending their energy on being a doula rather than the less exciting work of maintaining a website. From this desire, Seattle Birth Doulas was formed.

You can be confident when hiring a doula from Seattle Birth Doulas, your doula has opportunities for professional development, birth processing, and support from an experienced professional.

All the best,
Jen Laird — Founder

Fear and Anxiety of Giving Birth: Do I Need to get rid of These Feelings?

Embracing fear as a natural response to the unknown can transform anxiety into confidence. Equip yourself with knowledge, create positive affirmations, build a supportive birth team, seek out uplifting stories, and practice self-compassion. This approach helps counterbalance fear, empowering you to make informed decisions during labor and transition into parenthood with greater assurance.
