Healing our Community
One Family at a Time
The land we occupy is of the Duwamish and Coast Salish Tribes, and honor their Elders, past, present, and emerging.
Rainier Valley Birth & Health Center encourages clients to hire a doula for their birth. Our midwives will work with your doula, and you can invite them to your 36 week appointment (or more!) to make a plan as a team for your birth.
Some doulas are able to bill AppleHealth or your insurance company for payment, ask them directly when interviewing about this process.
At times we have grant funding to contract with doulas which covers part of the doula fee for our clients. These contracted relationships allow clients in our care to get well rounded support in all areas related to pregnancy, birth and postpartum through our Birth Bundle Project and other grant funded programs.
Below are just some of the doulas we enjoy working with. Please visit DoulaMatch.net to find your perfect fit doula--search by your due date and then add filters to define what matters most to you in doula care.
*Doulas who work with Rainier Valley Birth & Health Center are independent contractors. If you would like to book with them directly, please go to their personal website linked on their bio page.
