Sumaya Uthmaan, RN, BSN

As a Somali birth doula and Registered Nurse, I understand how important it is for families to feel seen, heard, and supported throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery.

Growing up as one of eleven children in a close-knit family shaped my understanding of caregiving, community, and compassionate support. Hodan Birth & Postpartum Care is named after my mother, whose warmth, resilience, and care continue to inspire the support I provide to families today. I offer culturally responsive, evidence-informed support for families navigating pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum transition. My approach centers on emotional reassurance, advocacy support, education, and creating a calm, respectful environment where families feel empowered throughout their journey. Services are available in Somali and English for families in the Seattle area.

Support begins with a conversation.

Whether you're preparing for birth, adjusting to postpartum life, or simply exploring your options, I’d love to learn more about your journey and the support you’re looking for.
