Birth tends to look radically different from family to family. Your advice from friends and family might be useless for you. From birth styles to physical differences, there are a ton of factors that determine what your pregnancy and delivery will look like. Because doulas have seen almost every type of birth and have spent years studying, they’re fantastic companions who will provide exceptional help through every stage of this season. If you’ve considered booking Tacoma doulas for your delivery, I’d love to tell you about the best.

Since 2008, Sarah Osborne has supported over 700 families on their birth journey. Sarah is DONA-certified and passionate about giving parents the best birth experience. She has delivered using nearly every style of birth, giving her unique insight.

Doula Deb

Doula Deb is a doula who has been practicing since 2008. She’ll assist with every form of birth, from medicated in the hospital to natural at home. Doula Deb provides birth doula services as well as postpartum doula services. She’ll talk to you and structure her packages around your family’s unique needs. Following birth, Deb will refer you for a lactation consultation with a professional to ensure you feel confident feeding your baby. And if you need a little bit of extra help, Deb has hosted a ton of webinars that you can watch. 

Point Defiance Birth

Point Defiance Birth is a Tacoma doulas service started by Ann von Moritz. It features backup doulas so you can have uninterrupted care. Ann has had extensive experience and brings it to each delivery. She’ll help you with planned cesareans, hospital births, home births, and more. Her one rule is that she won’t attend unassisted home births. Beyond her birth doula services, Ann acts as a postpartum doula and childbirth educator.
