Birth, Postpartum & Sleep Doula - Bringing harmony and confidence to your growing family.

Knowing which list your situation falls into can save you a lot of time, money, and frustration.

Coaching is a great tool — for the right problem. Save this so you know which one you're dealing with.

Babies regulate temperature differently than we do, and overdressing in summer can actually make overstimulation and fussiness worse, not better. When in doubt, go lighter than you think.

Save this one for the next hot day you're not sure how to pack for. 🌞

This week I sat down with Dr. Estelle Giraud, founder of Trellis Health, to talk about what is actually happening in your body after birth, the hormone shifts, the nutrient depletion, the nervous system dysregulation and why the six-week checkup model is failing women everywhere.

Postpartum decision-making is exhausting — and everyone has an opinion.
New Doula Talk episode: my RAINBOW method for making confident, grounded decisions in the newborn stage without losing your mind. 💛

Help me understand… why does sleep fall apart when we travel?

That's not failure. That's regulation. And once you understand what's driving it, you can actually respond to it instead of spiraling.

This week we're talking travel with a baby — the realistic edition. 💛

This month we're all about Rhythms Over Schedules, because summer requires a little flexibility, and that's actually a good thing.

As May wraps up — a reminder for every parent in the thick of the first year:
You are doing the most important thing. Even on the days it doesn't feel like enough.

The mess is temporary. The hard is temporary. The exhaustion is temporary.

You are not. 💛

The first year with a baby can test even the healthiest relationships. 😅

This week’s podcast episode is for exhausted couples trying to survive sleep deprivation, stress, mental load, and the “who’s more tired” Olympics.

🎧 New episode out now!

[Doula Deb LLC @Doula_Deb]

What matters right now is you, your baby, and your recovery. Everything else is temporary noise.
This week we're giving ourselves permission to let some things go — and talking about why that's not just okay, it's actually the right call. 💛

If you’re on Medicaid in Washington State, you may already have doula support covered. 💛

I’m a Medicaid-approved postpartum doula in the Tacoma area, here for the 3AM questions Google can’t answer.

[Doula Deb LLC @Doula_Deb]

Today we pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service.

Wishing everyone a meaningful and peaceful Memorial Day. ❤️🤍💙

[Doula Deb LLC @Doula_Deb]

The families I work with who feel the most steady aren't the ones who waited until everything fell apart.

They're the ones who got support early...before depletion set in, before the anxiety compounded, before the exhaustion made everything harder to untangle.

For the parents who are working so hard to figure out their baby.

You're not doing it wrong. You're doing it with love — and that's the most important part. 💛

Routine is great. In theory.

If your baby keeps changing the rules, that’s not you failing. That’s development doing its thing.

Babies are always evolving, and what works this week might not work next week. That’s normal. You’re not starting over, you’re just adjusting.

[Doula Deb LLC @Doula_Deb]

This episode is real-talk self-care for new parents, and no, we're not talking bubble baths. We're talking micro-moments of calm, emotional regulation, partner dynamics, and why eating your toddler's leftover string cheese absolutely counts as a meal. 😂

[Doula Deb LLC @Doula_Deb]

Cannabis + parenthood. It's already being talked about in private — just without the research or the support to back it up.

New Doula Talk episode with Dr. Amanda Reiman changes that. 🎧 Link in bio. 💛

Anxiety. Burnout. Identity. What it actually means to get support, and how to access it.

You deserve care too. Not eventually. Now. 💛
