Doulas
3 Main Reasons People Choose a Doula…
01 — In Labor Doula
Put me in coach!! Doulas help you develop a birth plan tailored to your needs, apply pressure and techniques in labor to ease pain, help quiet the room as needed, bring ice chips and so much more!! They are support for both parents and sometimes littles when they are present at births.
02 — Postpartum Doula
How amazing is it to have someone come to your house and help with all those other needs that are not feeding and changing and sleeping with your newborn?? Postpartum doulas serve many needs of the new families from helping with cooking, cleaning, tending to baby in the middle of the night so you can catch up on sleep, tending to the other small humans.
03 — Bereavement Doula

Birth and Postpartum Doula // Childbirth Educator
A mindful approach to pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Mindfulness is the practice of focusing your awareness on the present moment without judgment. I aim to provide you the support you need to be present in your birth and postpartum experience.
With a special focus on preparing your family and your home in welcoming a new baby.
I am a Certified Lactation Counselor and Birth/Postpartum doula, in part because of my own experiences. I had a myriad of pregnancy issues, including loss, high risk medical complications, postpartum mood disorder, PTSD, and breastfeeding challenges. Like many families, we could not find the right resources, despite looking and asking for help. I don't want another person to fall through the cracks like I did. We all benefit from having compassionate, non-judgmental help in the process of starting or adding to our families, and it brings me immense satisfaction to be that person for others.
I am a certified holistic birth doula located in Mason County. I am here to help create a space that allows your body to do what it was designed to do. I support you in the emotional, physical and spiritual transformation that birth can be. I serve Mason, Kitsap and surrounding areas.

Beautiful Beginnings - Doula and Childbirth Education
Hello, I’m Jocelyn Skinner CD (DONA) LCCE,
I believe that understanding your body, your options, and your goals empowers you to have a positive, safe birth and a smoother postpartum experience. It also helps you and your partner support each other through labor and early parenting. As a first-time mom at 18, I lacked support during my labor and postpartum, which affected my ability to care for myself and enjoy the experience. I felt disrespected because of my age and believed I had no options other than to follow my nurse’s instructions. Shortly after giving birth, my family, including my husband, was told to leave, and my baby was taken to a central nursery. I wasn’t allowed to have him or my husband with me overnight.
By the time I had my second baby, I was more prepared. Despite a long and difficult labor, I was able to make choices and feel successful. By the time I had my third baby, I experienced what many would call the "perfect birth." I am proof that education and support can make a huge difference in how we perceive our births and ourselves. Although some hospital policies have changed, my passion for supporting new parents comes from wanting them to have the tools to enjoy an empowered birth and a supported postpartum recovery.
I love watching the Seahawks, walking, watersports and boating, dancing, playing music, singing and vacationing with my family. I brew some pretty good hard apple cider and wine and I raise Quail. I am a breast cancer survivor. I will put the same determination into your birth experience that I apply to the rest of my life.

Rachel Stamey - Birth Doula
I offer physical, emotional, and informational support to birthing families in order to help them achieve their healthiest, most satisfying birth possible. I support a mother as she gives birth the way she wants. I stay with the mother the whole time—at home and at the birthing location, even if the birthing location might change. I prefer to begin meeting with clients in the second trimester, and we meet at least three times before the birth and three after. I also support the foundations of breastfeeding (if that is what the mother chooses).
