Sayaka’s Background

Sayaka is a Postpartum Doula trained through Bastyr University and pursuing her certification with DONA International. Prior to becoming a postpartum doula she was a nurse for 8 years in Japan before relocating to the Pacific Northwest. She truly enjoys providing support for mothers, babies, and families during the transformative postpartum period, focusing on care for mothers, care for babies, and, most importantly, emotional support.

At home, Sayaka and her husband enjoy a lively and fulfilling life with their 7-year-old son, beloved family dog, cats, chickens, and a small vegetable garden. Through these experiences, she has come to believe that “humans are a part of nature, and life itself is a beautiful miracle.” It is this belief that inspires her to support families in embracing the beauty of their own life transitions.
