hi, I’m Ciara

My pronouns are she/her, I am a mother, partner, creator and seeker of beauty in this world. I am a certified birth doula, bereavement doula, a photographer, student midwife, birth assistant and have been attending births for the past 8+ years. I currently reside with my family in the Tacoma, WA area. I love to be outside, read, paint, make kombucha, have uncomfortable conversations, explore and I am visibly pierced.

My passion for birth started while expecting my second child and grew like wild fire. I started as a birth photographer and naturally began transitioning to the role of support. I received my certification and training through Birth Arts International. As a doula I strive to create a safe, peaceful environment regardless of birth choices or circumstances. I believe education is our strongest tool and encourage all my clients to understand all their options. I believe there is no one right way to give birth and believe birth gets to look different for all people and all bodies.

I am currently attending births as a doula, a photographer and documenter. From Olympia to Seattle and all surrounding areas, in home, birth center and hospital settings. For more information, please visit here.

I am also a contracted birth doula and bereavement doula with the Swedish Hospitals in Seattle and Issaquah. You can find my Swedish doula profile page here.

I am currently a student midwife completing my BSM through the Midwives College of Utah.
