We interviewed four different doulas and immediately knew Keli was the one. From our very first conversation, we felt an instant connection — she made us feel comfortable, heard, and deeply aligned with our family values. That sense of trust only grew from there.
Before the birth, Keli met with us multiple times to go over our birth preferences and walk us through what to expect at Overlake Labor & Delivery. She helped us feel truly prepared and confident, while also reassuring us that our wishes would be respected. Knowing she would be there not only for support, but also as an advocate and mediator with hospital staff, gave us so much peace of mind.
Once labor began and we called her in, Keli was an absolute calming godsend — and truly a labor positioning guru. As a first-time mom planning an unmedicated birth, I faced some intense and scary moments, including baby decelerations. Through it all, Keli helped both me and our baby feel safe and well cared for. Whenever I needed a hand to hold, a grounding touch, or encouragement, she was right there reminding me that I was strong and capable.
During particularly stressful moments — including when the hospital team seemed slow to respond and my OB wasn’t present when I was ready to push — Keli remained calm, steady, and supportive, helping keep my husband grounded as well. Her presence made an enormous difference in how safe and supported we felt during the birth of our son.
We also asked Keli to capture photos during the birth, and we are beyond grateful for the beautiful, emotional moments she documented — they are memories we will treasure forever.
As if her birth support wasn’t incredible enough, Keli has continued to be an invaluable part of our lives as our overnight postpartum doula. In the midst of sleep deprivation, feeding challenges, and all the unknowns of first-time parenthood, she has provided endless support, practical guidance, and thoughtful resources to help us overcome hurdles and feel more confident as parents.
We could not be happier with the care, compassion, and expertise Keli has provided — both in bringing our baby boy into the world and in caring for him afterward. We are so incredibly grateful to have her in our lives and cannot recommend her highly enough.

Keli was an incredibly supportive and knowledgeable doula. My birth story at Providence Hospital in Everett Washington would not be the same without her support, millennial humor, experience, and care. She really got to know me and my wife and our values, and was able to provide valuable insight on a queer experience of giving birth. She advocated for our wants and needs every step of the way, and worked perfectly in line with the medical team at Providence to make sure my wife and I were really seen and heard. When things got a little scary, she was right by my side to explain what was happening and reassure my worries. She stayed by my side when my wife and son took a little trip to the NICU, being the rock I needed to stay calm. She herself is a pillar of calm, strength, and advocacy. She felt like not only our doula, but a treasured friend and a relationship that will far surpass this birth! Highly highly recommend, especially for queer couples who are looking for a doula who understands the nuances of the queer experience and advocates for your needs.

I am eternally grateful to have connected with Keli during the most difficult time of our lives. She helped my husband and I navigate many stages of grief with such compassion, tenderness and knowledge. Support was always tailored to our sensibilities and evolving needs. Her calm, radiant energy offered us a truly safe space to share, be heard, and process our grief. Keli’s services filled a major gap in bereavement care that my therapist or doctors were not equipped or designed to address. I would strongly recommend her to anyone going through the unimaginable.
