Sharlene Gonzalez

About me

Hello, my name is Sharlene, a postpartum doula and a naturopathic medical student with a deep passion for supporting new families. My journey into birth work began when I was a senior in high school who had the opportunity to do my rotations at a hospital in Texas. Little did I know at that time that it was passion that had been born from that experience— it planted the seed for my future. Moving to Washington to study at Bastyr was a leap towards making my dreams a reality. Becoming a doula was another beautiful discovery, introduced to me by a professor who not only taught me, but also helped me heal in ways I never expected. Now, as a postpartum doula, I am honored to walk alongside new parents, providing the care, support, and reassurance they need during such a transformative time. I can’t wait to continue growing in this field and, one day, serve my community as a midwife and a prenatal ND, providing holistic care throughout pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Service introduction

As a postpartum doula, I provide compassionate support to help you transition into parenthood. My services include newborn care guidance, feeding support (breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, and pumping), emotional care, and practical help like baby laundry, and dishes. I focus on the birthing parent’s well-being, offering rest, support and resources for recovery. Whether you need a listening ear, hands-on help, or a moment to recharge, I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for your family.
