Find a Midwife Near Me that Speaks American Sign Language

Long before becoming a doula, I understood the importance of supporting mothers because I had experienced motherhood myself. Today, as both a mother and grandmother, I've had the privilege of watching motherhood unfold across generations. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for just how significant birth is. Every mother is different. Every baby is different. And every birth story is different. That's why I believe good doula care begins with listening. I was drawn to doula work because I wanted to provide women with the kind of steady, compassionate support that can be so meaningful during labor and birth. My approach is especially centered around comfort care and birth coaching. I help mothers explore different labor positions, movement, relaxation and comfort techniques while also providing the emotional encouragement that can be just as important during labor. Also I am Pronatal (perinatal fitness instructor). Fitness is a part of my life and I can help you in becoming stronger in preparing you for birth and recovery!! I don't believe my role is to take over your birth experience. I'm there to walk beside you. To encourage you when labor becomes difficult. To help you find another position when something isn't working. To remind you of your strength when you're tired. To listen to what you need. And, when desired, to pray with you and bring the comfort of our shared Christian faith into the birth space.

My practice is inspired by the idea of radical liberation and justice. I center my service around centering marginalized identities and accepting whoever is open to sharing their journey with me. Entering the birth space with intention of radical joy, agency, and empowerment is what drives and motivates me as a birth worker. With these values in mind, I seek to offer care that embodies an environment of acceptance, affirmation, and protection from hate.

I've been married for more than 26 years, and my greatest joy in life is being a mom to my three wonderful children. When I'm not spending time with my family, you'll most likely find me cooking for the people I love, curled up with a good book, going for a run or walk (on a good day!), or finding ways to encourage and support young families. Home-cooked meals and great big hugs are definitely my love languages or at least the way I most naturally show people they're cared for. I've always been a "baby person." For more than 30 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and families in one way or another. But it wasn't until I became a mother myself that my heart truly opened to what new parents experience. I remember so clearly what those early days felt like, the questions, the exhaustion, the joy, and the tenderness of it all. That experience grew my love for babies into a deep compassion for moms and dads as they navigate the beautiful and often overwhelming transition into parenthood. For more than eight years, I've had the joy and honor of serving families as a birth doula, and for over seven years as a postpartum doula. I'm also a Hypnobabies Hypno-Doula and a pediatric sleep consultant, which allows me to support families not only through birth but throughout those precious early weeks and months when everything feels so new.

Hi, I'm Claudia! I believe every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and confident throughout their pregnancy and birth journey. My goal as your doula is to provide a calm, reassuring presence while helping you prepare for birth, navigate your options, and feel empowered to make the decisions that are right for you. My approach is rooted in preparation and collaboration. Together, we'll create a birth plan that reflects your goals, prepare questions for your healthcare providers, learn comfort techniques for labor, and build the confidence to adapt if birth doesn't go exactly as planned. During labor, I'll provide continuous emotional and physical support while helping ensure that your voice remains at the center of your birth experience. As a University of Pennsylvania graduate with a background in maternal-fetal medicine research, my approach is rooted in evidence-based care and collaboration. I deeply value working alongside physicians, nurses, and midwives, and I believe the best birth experiences come from a strong partnership between families, their healthcare team, and their doula. My role isn't to speak for you, it's to help you understand your options, communicate your preferences, and feel supported every step of the way.

Hey, I’m Elliot. I’m a THW‑certified doula based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve always been drawn to supporting pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, and I’m honored to walk alongside families during such a meaningful, transformative time. As a trans man, I also recognize how often queer people and their families are underrepresented and underserved in medical settings. My practice centers LGBT+ parents and is grounded in trauma‑informed, non‑judgmental care through a lens of reproductive justice—so birthing parents and their partners feel empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and their care. I bring patience, calm, and genuine curiosity to every birth space. I’m a steady listener, an advocate when needed, and a gentle presence when quiet support is best. When I’m off‑call, you’ll find me making art, writing, cuddling my cats, or happily bumbling through a new videogame. If you’re seeking affirming support for your pregnancy and birth, I’d love to connect. I completed my initial training through Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and am fully THW certified through Mother Tree Birth. I've taken a cultural competency course -- including trauma informed care, interprofessional collaboration, and HIPAA training –, also through Mother Tree Birth; and I've also completed an Oral Health course and an adult/child CPR training course. I’m happy to provide documentation for all of the above, feel free to ask!

I love to help the people around me to feel safe and supported. My passion is supporting families during the arrival of their baby, no matter the route, with the birthing person and their support team’s intentions at the forefront. I support my families through encouragement, position changes, calming touch, breathing techniques, advocating and forming a bond with the birthing person and their family to help develop a comforting environment to birth in. Birth is an experience that can foster growth, strength and passion and I feel my purpose is to help every expectant parent I interact with to have a positive and empowering transition into parenthood. Labor is transformational!
