Hello! My name is Debbie Black and I’m a Washington State Certified Birth Doula in Snohomish, Washington. I trained at Bastyr University’s Simkin Center for Allied Birth Professions, followed by an extensive apprenticeship with Expecting Joy. Additionally, I'm certified in the Body Ready Method, an exercise and movement program designed to optimize the body for pregnancy, birth, and recovery. I believe that birthing people who feel heard, respected and empowered have the most positive birth experiences. I will do all that I can to ensure you have the kind of birth experience you’re hoping for through education, physical and emotional support and advocacy.

Birth is a personal and sacred experience. My approach is rooted in respect for your unique journey, choices, and intuition. My first step is to listen to provide personalized guidance and unwavering advocacy to Mamas and their loved ones. Every birthing person should be heard and empowered. I provide compassionate care rooted in comfort and joy and evidence-based information to help you make the best decisions for you and your baby. I believe every woman deserves a doula! My mission is to provide unconditional and accessible support to each client I am honored to support. I trained under the experience and expertise of the Springfield Family Doulas! I am also an educator and certified yoga teacher, and I incorporate these skills into the structure of my holistic doula services. Let’s connect!

I'm a former licensed teacher of over 25 years that followed my passion to change my side job of childbirth education and birth doula work into a full time career. It started with earning my credentials as a childbirth educator from the Seattle Midwifery School and teaching in Portland area hospitals but morphed into doing birth doula work as people I met invited me to be part of their births. I like to say I fell into birth doula work unintentionally, but it ignited a passion to do it all that I could (while raising young children, teaching kindergarten part time, and teaching childbirth prep. WHEW! Those were busy years!) Fast forward to 2022, when I became an empty nester (letting both my scientist and my opera singing daughters fly!) and made the decision to leave the classroom and pursue birth doula work and childbirth education. I hold a Masters Degree in curriculum and instruction, so helping birthing people and their support team learn about birth is a natural and easy process for me. Once I decided to do birth work full time, I pursed further education as a birth doula (which was a review of a TINY part that I learned through childbirth educator training, LOL!) and became DONA certified as a birth doula. Through the years I have been lucky to experience a wide variety of births: medicated, unmedicated, planned and unplanned cesarean, VBAC, and so much more. I have years of experience helping those that birth, with or without neurodivergence and other challenges, find their way to empowerment and joy, no matter how their birth journey unfolds. I pull from a wide range of tools, tricks, and methods to provide what YOU would like your birth to look, sound, and feel like. From Hypnobirthing, breathing, crafting the ideal birthing environment to Spinning babies, position work, and comfort measures (comforting touch, using water & heat, leveraging pleasure for more oxytocin), I actively pursue discovering YOUR magic combination for reduced discomfort, labor length, and stress. I keep the birth space calm, safe, easy-going, compassionate, and positive, so that you can enter parenthood empowered and joyful. I provide individualized education, encouragement, and planning prior to labor, and support during the birth process to take the pressure and stress off of you and your labor support though an experience that can have a bazillion variables and may be alien to you. I keep it simple and as stress free as I possibly can so that you can be fully present and enjoy your prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience.

I offer comprehensive information and guidance tailored to your unique experience, for your first baby and beyond. With a yoga teacher background I will guide you to connect with your body's innate wisdom. As a professional chef, I will support your body's healing with nourishing postpartum meals.
