Find a Childbirth Educator Near Me in Tacoma, WA

Hello! I’m Jordan Cota, a doula, wife, and mother of five. Over the years, I’ve supported many women through various pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences—ranging from home births and VBACs to cesareans and water births, as well as different feeding and parenting styles. I believe that our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences deeply shape us as individuals and parents. While there’s no "easy" way to have a baby, the process teaches us how strong and capable we are. I love supporting women through the "fourth trimester" as they adjust to parenting and bonding with their new baby. My journey to becoming a doula started with the birth of my first child. I was young and unprepared, but my best friend instinctively supported me through a natural labor, and I felt empowered afterward. However, I knew I needed more tools and preparation for future births. For my second baby, I chose an out-of-hospital birth center with a doula and midwife, and just 21 months later, I had a beautiful home birth with my third child. My last pregnancy, with twins, led me to choose a hospital birth with both an OB and midwife.

I am a married mother of 3 and understand that moms need support. My heart is geared towards the emotional support and well being of new and expectant parents. So you don't feel alone.
