Doda Doula

About

Welcome to Doda Doula. My name is Tamari Soosi, and I am a birth doula, postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and Certified Lactation Counselor dedicated to supporting families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and newborn care with calm, compassionate, and evidence-based support.

My journey into birthwork began through years of working closely with children and families. With over 10 years of experience caring for newborns, infants, and children, I developed a deep passion for supporting mothers during one of the most vulnerable and transformative times in their lives. What started as curiosity quickly became a calling, leading me to continue my education in birth support, postpartum care, childbirth education, and lactation support.

At Doda Doula, I believe families deserve to feel informed, respected, supported, and never alone throughout their journey into parenthood. My approach is gentle, honest, nurturing, and grounded in evidence-based care while also honoring the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of birth and postpartum. I strive to create a calm and safe environment where families can ask questions freely, feel heard without judgment, and build confidence in their choices.

I understand that every family, every baby, and every birth experience is unique. Whether supporting a family through labor, helping parents adjust during postpartum, teaching childbirth education classes, or guiding mothers through their feeding journey, my goal is always to provide compassionate care that feels personalized and supportive to each family’s individual needs.

I also deeply value faith, modesty, dignity, and emotional safety within my work and strive to support families in a way that feels warm, respectful, and comforting. My hope is that every family I work with feels empowered, cared for, and more confident as they transition into parenthood.
