Doulas, Midwives & Perinatal Care

Image description: Alice wears his wavy blonde hair long, his round glasses framing his face. He wears a white shirt with a black jacket. He touches his cheek with the knuckles of his left hand, a watch adorning his wrist. I’m Alice Arden, he/him pronouns. I’m a trans man who works in perinatal-family support and education. A cornerstone of my practice is the idea of intentional parenting, really, intentional living as a whole. I have a deep interest in psychology and emotional wellness that I bring into my support work and education. In a lot of therapeutic work the concept of an emotional “toolbox” is used. It’s my goal in the time I have working with new parents to support them in building their own toolbox they can utilize well after I’m gone. My approach is adaptive to the specific needs of each family I work with, as I believe every family is unique. There is no one-size-fits all in this work. |

Image description: Cashew smiles warmly at the camera, wearing a brown brimmed hat over their long, wavy, blonde hair. They wear several necklaces, a white v-cut shirt, and a yellow cardigan. My name is Cashew (they, he, she), my practice is Crescent Dream Doula & Photography. I am a queer, gender-fluid, birthworker in Everett, WA. I have been a birth doula serving local low-income & marginalized families for the past 3 years. I value joining you WHEREVER you are at in your journey and providing support in the specific areas that feel most impactful to you. I don’t come with an agenda, I come with an open heart and unconditional support. I believe people should have access to high quality, affirming care that meets not only their needs but goes beyond that so that they feel comfortable, validated, and loved. |

Image description: Stevie sits at a table filled with plants. Their short dark hair is pulled back, and glasses frame their face. They smile warmly and wear a white button down shirt with a dark jacket on top. Stevie Norman (they/them/elle): Previous clients have described a warm, calmness about me that helps them feel grounded, and this is exactly the type of environment I intend to cultivate. My approach is to listen to your hopes and fears, meet you where you are at and accompany you on your journey with grace and patience. I draw on my work as a dual language educator and instructional coach to support families in communicating their needs and connecting them with resources and unbiased support. I welcome all families and their configurations, and I intentionally center queer and trans affirming practices in birth work and postpartum support. My passion is in accompanying survivors, queer, trans and gender non-conforming birthing people and their families as they navigate the transformations of pregnancy, birth, and parenting. I provide respectful, collaborative and inclusive care for all families. It is my priority to see, honor and celebrate you fully. I believe in you and your body’s wisdom and needs and support your choices in what is best for you and your baby. IG @stevie_stevonnie |
