Aline Diethelm - Postpartum Doula

About Aline

Every family deserves emotional and practical support during the transformational postpartum time of life. The families I work with receive kind, non-judgemental, evidence-based care, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or disabilities. I will encourage the wisdom and intuition that already exists in you as a parent. I live in a small intentional community in NE Portland with my partner, two children, and five other wonderful humans.

Aline helped our family for a few months, and I could not recommend them more. Aline is thoughtful, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and curious. It was a joy to see them bond with our son. They often went what I'd consider above and beyond the call of duty for our entire family. Communication was easy, and they were extremely punctual and professional. Aline is very connected in the postpartum space as well and often had great recommendations for us. It's hard to imagine this period of life without them.

Aline was our postpartum Doula and was so helpful, kind, and gentle to our little family. As a second time mom, I was surprised how much I learned from Aline that I wish I knew the first time around. They were flexible with scheduling and open to helping with whatever we needed that day. Would highly recommend and I only wish we had Aline’s support with our first child too.

Aline provided post-partum care for us and our son while we figured out life with a newborn! We are forever grateful for the care and support Aline gave us during this time. Aline’s calm and confident demeanor bolstered us during this huge transition to parenthood!

Frequently asked questions

Do you take insurance?

If you have Oregon Health Plan, your insurance plan will pay for prenatal doula support, birth doula support, and postpartum doula support. If you have OHP, please let me know! I do work with families with OHP if we start our relationship while you are pregnant. (OHP will allow you to use your postpartum support benefits for 1 year after birth).
