About me

Hi Friends! My name is Marlo Knight and I am a certified postpartum doula and certified newborn care specialist as well as a 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.

We loved having Marlo’s help with our second baby! The thought of a postpartum night doula seemed kind of extravagant at first, but I’m so glad that we decided to get some extra help this time around. I was originally nervous about handing our new baby over to a stranger, but once we met Marlo, my husband and I had no problem making the decision. Marlo is easy to talk to, kind, and professional. She also clearly loves babies and has a warm personality. As a bonus, she loves animals and had no issue with our two somewhat obnoxious French bulldogs. The months leading up to my birth, Marlo kept in touch and asked how things were going. I feel like this helped establish a relationship and by the time our new baby arrived she didn’t seem like a stranger. It only took a night or two for us to establish a routine and things went smoothly right away. It was so nice to just nurse the baby every few hours and go right back to sleep while she was here. Marlo did the burping, rocking, swaddling, etc. She also kept a log of all of our baby’s diaper changes, sleep time, and any other information we might need. We were fortunate enough to have Marlo’s help for about 8 weeks and we will definitely hire her again when we have another baby! We miss her already. :)

Our experience with Marlo as our doula was fantastic and a huge help with transition from one to two kids. She supported us with night times for about two months and it was a smooth process and allowed us to get much needed rest at night. Marlo is communicative and reliable. She is a great person to also ask for advice for baby related questions as far as feeding and sleep. Marlo is kind and loves babies and children. :) She is detail oriented and always had notes and information for the hand-off in the mornings. We appreciate Marlo supporting us during this transition with our new baby and would recommend her to anyone looking for doula support. Thank you!

We had an wonderful experience working with Marlo as our night doula for our firstborn son! My postpartum experience would have been very different without her. Marlo was able to be in our home the first night when we got back from the hospital, when I was a sleep deprived mess of a first time mom - and I'm sooo grateful to have started my postpartum journey with her support . She is clearly a pro and loves babies - and I'm glad I was able to learn from her in real time. We continued to work with Marlo for 2-3 nights a week for 6 weeks, and always looked forward to her arrival those nights.  She cared for our son with so much love, and I always could breathe a sigh of relief knowing he's in safe hands overnight, and I could relax fully and sleep. Toward the end, Marlo helped me introduce a bottle overnight, so I was able to get my first nights of fully uninterrupted sleep! Marlo is an excellent communicator, always prompt/responsible and on time, and great with our very curious beagle dog, who welcomed her with open arms. Would absolutely recommend Marlo.

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 are very grateful for Marlo's help during the post partum period. She is friendly, kind and very gentle with our newborn. As first time parents we really appreciated Marlo's knowledge and experience with little ones. She was also really great with our cats (equally important to us)! We appreciated having Marlo's help overnight so that we could get decent rest a few nights a week. It was great to be able to simply wake up, pump and go back to sleep and know that our baby was happy and cared for while we slept. Marlo is an excellent post partum doula! We would be happy to work with her again or recommend her to others with new little ones!
