Caellyn Everson, CD(dona)

Hi there! I’m glad you’re here.  I am a Certified Birth Doula (DONA) and an INNATE Certified Postpartum Care Provider. I support families throughout the Greater Seattle Area in their preparations for birth and postpartum.


I like to spend my free time with my friend-family, making yummy foods, beautifying and caring for my home space, soaking up stories, geeking out over birth books, foraging, exploring the woods, and playing in creeks when I can. Community is incredibly important to me, as are simple adventures.  

 My time as a birth doula has cemented that this work is my path.  I find the more I learn about birth, the more areas I want to explore. I am passionate about reproductive justice and the full spectrum of maternal health. My latest pursuit has been to learn more ways to support the postpartum body and its needs. When parents are supported, they have more energy to give to their babes and we see communities heal and thrive. 

I have experience with births in hospitals, birth centers and homes, medicated and unmedicated. Your body, your birth.
