“I had a wonderful experience with Charlotte. We met two times before I was induced with one visit being a home visit. I appreciated that she made the effort to come to Seattle since she doesn't live close by. During our first visit she answered any questions I had about labor, delivery and some basic questions about breastfeeding. I was unfortunately induced 3 weeks early and was in labor for almost 37 hours. I was induced at midnight and Charlotte came early in the morning. She stayed the whole time until after I gave birth. She was amazing throughout my labor and pushing. She helped me cope with the pain of labor for hours. I ended up getting an epidural around the 21 hour mark and she still stayed. She made sure she advocated for me and helped in anyway she could. I highly recommend her!”

“Having Charlotte was one of the best decisions I made for my birth experience. She brought such a calm and gentle presence that immediately put me at ease. Throughout labor, she was incredibly informative, helping me understand each stage and making me feel confident and supported. She came fully prepared with tools and techniques that made my contractions bearable. Though my delivery was ended in an emergency cesarean due to complications with my baby, she remained attentive and reassuring the entire time. My husband also really appreciated her support. It meant so much that she spoke Spanish and was able to communicate with my mom, helping her understand what was happening and making the experience more inclusive for our family. She also checked in before and after delivery and continued to be an amazing resource postpartum. I'm so grateful for Charlotte's care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and knowledgeable doula!”

“Charlotte provided an incredible presence throughout my entire birth experience. From the very beginning, she was calm, supportive, and deeply reliable. She was fully present for the entire 12-hour labor and stayed for several more hours to offer thoughtful and indispensable postpartum support. Her skill set was expansive, and she intuitively knew how to support me emotionally, physically, and mentally at every stage. Because of her steady presence and expertise, I felt profoundly supported and safe during my home birth. I am so grateful to have had her by my side during such a transformative experience.”

“Charlotte provided valuable support in the last few weeks of the pregnancy, as well as during the whole process of receiving the baby. She not only has had personal experience with her own children, and accompanied other births, but she's also received extensive training as doula. We can attest her commitment to provide emotional and physical support with excellent professional ethics. In our case, we had a C-section, and it's hard to overstate how valuable was Charlotte's help in the surgical room too. She even stayed over the night in the hospital during the recovery process. We are very happy with her services and would definitely recommend her for other families.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a doula?+

A doula is a trained, non-medical support person who provides emotional, physical, and informational support during pregnancy, labor, birth, and the early postpartum period. A doula helps you feel heard, prepared, and supported while you make your own informed decisions.

What is the difference between birth and postpartum doula care?+

Birth doula care focuses on preparing for labor and providing continuous support during labor and birth. Postpartum doula care begins after baby arrives and focuses on recovery, newborn adjustment, feeding support, and helping the family settle into life at home.

What is sibling doula support?+

Sibling doula support gives your older child or children a familiar, birth-informed caregiver while you welcome your baby. After a prenatal family visit, Charlotte is on call beginning at 38 weeks and can provide up to 24 hours of continuous care at home or, when permitted, at your hospital or birth center.

When should I reach out for doula care?+

Many families begin looking for a doula during the second trimester, but you are welcome to reach out at any point in your pregnancy. Availability depends on your due date and birth location, so connecting earlier can give us more time to get to know one another and prepare together.

What kinds of births do you support?+

Charlotte supports families through a range of birth settings, preferences, and circumstances, including hospital, birth center, and home births, as well as births involving an epidural, induction, or cesarean. Her care is centered on helping you feel respected and supported through the birth that is right for you.

How does a doula support my partner and medical team?+

A doula adds to your support team and does not replace your partner, midwife, OB, nurses, or other medical providers. Charlotte supports the birthing person and partner with reassurance, comfort measures, and clear information while your medical team remains responsible for clinical care and medical decisions.

What areas do you serve?+

Based in Redmond, Charlotte supports families throughout Seattle, the Eastside, and nearby communities, including Bellevue, Kirkland, Sammamish, Woodinville, Bothell, and Renton. Availability depends on your due date, birth location, and travel distance, so the free consultation is the best time to confirm coverage.

What happens during the free consultation?+

The free consultation is a relaxed, 45-minute virtual conversation on Google Meet for families interested in birth, postpartum, or sibling doula support. You can share your family's needs, timing, and questions while learning about Charlotte's approach to care. It is an opportunity for both of you to decide whether working together feels like the right fit, with no pressure to make a decision during the call.

What languages does Charlotte speak?+

Charlotte is bilingual and speaks English and Spanish. She can communicate with clients in either language as part of her doula support. This does not include medical interpretation, and her bilingual support does not replace a qualified medical interpreter for clinical conversations with healthcare providers.

Which birth package rate applies to me?+

The birth package is $1,500 for 2026 estimated due dates and $2,000 for estimated due dates from January 1, 2027. Your rate is based on the estimated due date agreed at booking and remains unchanged if your due date changes or your baby arrives in a different year.
