Hi Friends! My name is Marlo Knight and I am a certified postpartum doula and certified postpartum nutrition specialist. I am located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I love supporting families during the magical and sleep deprived first weeks of their baby's life! I absolutely love what I do and do it with my whole heart. I am always looking to bring a sense of peace and calm to the homes I am invited into and I strive to create a judgement free space for parents to ask questions and express themselves freely. As a mother of 3 and a grandmother I bring with me lots of experience in nurturing little ones and their mamas. I can't wait to get acquainted with you! In my free time I enjoy my volunteer work, cooking (my love language), wine tasting with my best guy, family time with my girls and their families, and naps with my cat.

Marlo is a commensurate professional, and a compassionate addition to the household in the delicate weeks after bringing a newborn home. We were so grateful to have Marlo help us twice a week for the first four weeks after the birth of our first child, and she was instrumental in helping us get adjusted and settled into the new phase of our lives. We'd be delighted to work with Marlo again any time we need support post-partum.

Marlo was an amazing help throughout the entire adjustment period of bringing a newborn home. She helped around the house, answered questions, and provided us with a lot of guidance and extremely useful advice. She gave us a lot of confidence as new parents. Marlo was so kind and nurturing, you can tell she really cares and loves the babies she works with. She also is great with pets in the house. Our family has 3 very hyper dogs and Marlo was wonderful with them too. Marlo is organized, clean, and punctual. She also provided a very detailed little schedule of everything she did during her shift, which was super helpful for us to know "what" and "when" to do things for the baby once she left. I would recommend her services to any new parents. It really was an amazing experience and our family is so grateful for all of her work.

We are very grateful for Marlo's help during the post partum period. She was always very kind & gentle with our newborn. She was very professional but also personable. It felt like we had a friend watching our baby, which definitely helped us relax and get some rest when she was there. Marlo is very knowledgeable about this point in time both for the newborn and the parents. She took great care of us too:) We would happily work with Marlo again or reccomend her to others with new little ones!

We strongly and warmly recommend Marlo as a postpartum doula. She has been an immense help and support for the past 10 weeks with our second baby. From Marlo’s very first day with us, it has been obvious not only that she has experience and expertise with newborns, but also that she truly loves her job and cares deeply for the babies she watches over. We trust her entirely to care for baby boy, and we have even learned new methods for soothing and caring for him from Marlo. Marlo has also done an incredible job integrating herself seamlessly into our home routines, and she truly goes above and beyond to make herself helpful. For example, Marlo has worked closely and collaboratively with Mom so that Mom can continue breastfeeding baby boy but also maximize her sleep on the nights that Marlo is with us. Marlo also often finds ways to be helpful around the house even without being asked. And she has been so warm and friendly throughout our time together that it truly feels like she is another family member who belongs in our home when she is here. Any other family with a newborn would be lucky to work with Marlo.

Marlo was an incredible support during our newborn’s early weeks. She cared for our baby with warmth and expertise, always arriving on time and offering invaluable advice on sleep and breastfeeding nutrition. Beyond newborn care, she went above and beyond—helping with some household tasks like laundry, making our transition into a family of five much smoother. Her kindness, reliability, and knowledge were truly a gift to our family. Highly recommend!

Marlo is more than a provider for us, she's family. We first employed Marlo as a doula after unexpected complications with my son's birth made recovery quite difficult. She was so reliable and instantly connect with our son! She eventually helped our family as a nanny and really became an essential part of our care system. We loved working with Marlo and strongly recommend her for anyone looking to bring love and support into your home.
