Zoë Berliner
(she/her)
I began birth work in 2018 after a decade in childcare with a special interest in infant and toddler development. My deep desire to offer unwavering, comprehensive care to children naturally led to an interest in providing the same support to new parents and growing families. I am a certified labor and postpartum doula through Birthingway College of Midwifery, and I became an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) in 2022.
After witnessing hundreds of families welcome new members, I am confident there is no singular right way to care for a baby. My goal is to help you figure out what parenting looks like for you, with you.
Combining my education in public health, my background in early childhood, and my clinical training in hospital-based lactation care, I offer flexible, gentle, and compassionate support to all. I recognize that this time is complex. I acknowledge that this journey looks and feels different for everyone. Whatever your path, I will walk it with you. It is my greatest honor to partner with you in these tender moments.

About Zoë
I am a longtime volunteer at Northwest Mothers’ Milk Bank.
I am a bookworm obsessed with learning about all the silliness of human bodies.
I want to know what reality TV show you have been watching and what podcast you are listening to!
“Zoë was a constant physical and emotional support for me and my husband. After visiting my home for the first postpartum visit, she made a point to visit two more times within that week because she saw how exhausted I was. While I napped Zoë tidied up the house, took care of my newborn’s needs, and played with my two-year-old daughter. Zoë is genuine, sincere, and professional. As a nurse myself I was impressed by her clinical judgment and attentiveness to my needs. I highly recommend her and am so glad that she was part of our team. ”
