Welcome From Our Founder

I am the founder of International Chinese Doula Association. I am a licensed massage therapist, doula, and International Board Certified Lactation Consultant - IBCLC. I was born and raised in China, where I started practicing TCM massage at the age of 6. I learned vital women and infant care techniques from my grandmother (a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor) and my mother (an instructor at a nursing school).

I have assembled a team of holistic providers in Seattle, WA, which aid and support new parents and babies. Our team and I have served over 5,000 newborn families in Washington. Our team is recognized as Washington’s premier resource for families within the Asian community. We are dedicated to providing the best care services for our clients, which integrates diet, massage, self-care training, and planning, resulting in a successful pregnancy and postpartum experience.
