With humor and evidenced-based information, we'll take the mystery out of birth and replace it with confidence




Jen Laird and Alise McAllister
We believe that confidence is one of the greatest tools you can bring to your birth. We want to help prepare you for what birth is really like, not the TV or movie births you've seen.

Jen Laird and Alise McAllister bring decades of combined experience to the classes they teach. As the founders of Seattle Doulas, Jen and Alise combine their expertise as doulas in the birth room of their local hospitals, their training as midwives, and their compassion and understanding as women who have birthed their own babies.

Additionally, they are both postpartum doulas and childbirth educators. They are also the voices behind the hilarious podcast PUSHINGit Podcast.
