Ernest Butler, Doula

Welcome, my name is Ernest. I'm a birth and postpartum doula amongst many other titles I hold in the birth world. I come with a calm nurturing personality to support families in a time need. I've always had a love for children as I have been a pediatric Medical Assistant for over 10 years. My love for Children drove me closer to Parents aspiring me to be one of my own some day. When I decided to become a Doula I finally felt like I was doing the work I was meant to do, it was my calling. In a Female lead line of work my drive wouldn't let me stop at just being a Doula, I wanted to support families in as many ways as I could. I continued on to pursue on as a Childbirth Educator and a Lactation Educator. Establishing to be an IBCLS through mentorship at Seattle Children's Hospital where I also work as one of the lead Medical Assistants at Seattle's Children's Odessa Brown Clinic. Supporting Moms and Parents through childbirth, helping Father and Partners find their place in a space filled with attention towards the birthing parent and baby, and giving care, understanding, and advocacy to the BIPOC and LGBT community.
