Hi and welcome — I’m Tatiana (Tanya)!

I’m a mom to two beautiful girls, a passionate birth doula, and someone who loves showing up for families during one of the most incredible — and life-changing — journeys there is.

Years ago, I walked away from a decade-long career as a lawyer and followed my heart straight into birth work. Supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum feels like home to me — it’s where I come alive. Caring for others has always been second nature, but there’s just something about standing beside a family as they meet their baby that fills me up in a way nothing else does.

My approach is simple — warm, personal, and rooted in trust. I believe every woman deserves to feel safe, supported, and truly seen as she steps into her power. Birth is raw, real, and different every time — sometimes full of joy and laughter, sometimes messy, emotional, and intense. I’m here for all of it — holding space, offering steady support, and reminding you that you are never in it alone.

There’s no script, no one-size-fits-all here. I show up ready to meet you where you are — tuning in, listening, and walking beside you every step of the way. My goal is to make you feel held, informed, and confident, so you can look back on your birth story with pride.

When I’m not supporting families, you’ll usually find me soaking up time with my girls — whether that’s cooking up something delicious, getting outside, or cheering way too loudly at the rink for my hockey-playing daughter (my proudest role might just be hockey mom!). Nature is my reset button, and the sauna-my happy place to unwind, reflect, and breathe.

I’m also fluent in Russian and feel incredibly honored to support Russian-speaking families here in the Greater Seattle area — though truly, my heart is wide open to families from every background and walk of life.

If you’re looking for a doula who’s warm, grounded, and 100% in your corner, I’d love to connect. You deserve support that feels like a soft place to land — and I’d be honored to be that for you.​

Why Choose Me

Because birth is big — and you deserve someone by your side who’s truly got you.

I bring over 4 years of full-time doula experience and 2 years as a trained birth assistant, with 350+ births behind me in hospitals, birth centers, and home settings. I’ve seen it all — the fast ones, the long ones, the wild surprises, and the deeply transformative moments. I’m fully at home in every birth space, and I know the culture and flow of every major hospital in the area. That means I can help you navigate the system confidently — and make sure your voice is heard.

I’m not afraid to speak up when needed, and I know how to work with medical teams as both a grounded presence and a skilled advocate. I’m direct, honest, and clear — no sugarcoating here. You’ll always know where I stand, and I’ll always stand with you.

Clients often call me the perfect mix of calm and fire — I know when to bring the soft touch and when to give a strong, steady nudge. I’m trained in Spinning Babies® techniques, positioning strategies, and hands-on comfort tools that make a real difference — not just during labor, but leading up to it.

I also love supporting families from all backgrounds and walks of life. With deep respect for different cultural traditions and approaches to birth, I hold space for your values, your roots, and your unique story. Whether you're planning a highly medicalized birth, a low-intervention one, or something in between — I’ll meet you exactly where you are.

And if you want to hear it from those who’ve been there, check out my many glowing reviews from families who say they couldn’t have done it without me.
