Hello! I’m Jordan, and I'm deeply passionate about nurturing families and caring for little ones. After spending more than a decade as a nanny, I discovered just how much I love showing up for families in whatever way they need, day by day. Being closely connected to many families and dear friends during their pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys opened my eyes to just how transformative and intense the perinatal season can be. That experience sparked a desire in me to learn everything I could about supporting people during this sacred time, and it quickly became clear that becoming a doula was my calling. I went on to train as a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula, and found myself especially drawn to supporting families during the postpartum period. It's a time that often feels overlooked, despite being so crucial. I completed my postpartum doula certification and began my work, focusing on offering real, tangible support when families need it most. As a postpartum doula, I’m here to walk alongside new parents as they find their footing and build confidence in their own instincts. My approach is rooted in being a calm, grounding, and consistent presence during what can be an overwhelming transition. I tailor my support to meet each family's individual needs because no two postpartum journeys look the same. It’s incredibly important to me that the families I support feel safe, heard, and cared for, every step of the way. One of the biggest challenges I noticed early on was sleep, or more accurately, the serious lack of it. Wanting to better guide families through that hurdle, I became certified as an Infant and Family Sleep Specialist. Supporting families with sleep, including overnight care, has since become a core part of my work and something I care deeply about. As a queer person, I’m especially passionate about affirming and supporting families of all kinds. It’s a true honor to be welcomed into such a personal and powerful chapter in someone’s life, and I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to do this work. Please note: I have a the majority of my testimonials on google under Bun and Bundle

My philosophy is rooted in the belief that every family deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support during the transformative weeks and months after childbirth. This care centers around the birthing person’s physical recovery, emotional well-being, and confidence as a new parent, while also nurturing the entire family unit. I provide informed, evidence-based guidance, honoring each family’s unique values, culture, and choices. Rather than taking over, I empower parents by offering reassurance, practical assistance, and education—ensuring that the transition into parenthood is met with strength, comfort, and connection.

Now Booking for Spring 2026 I believe everyone deserves a village. I also know that asking for help, especially during the transition to parenthood, is one of the bravest and most vulnerable things a person can do. My role as a postpartum doula is to come alongside families during this tender season, helping them identify their unique needs and supporting them as they grow into their new roles. One of the greatest gifts I can offer is helping families feel more rested, confident, and resourced. I approach each family with care and curiosity, always honoring their culture, beliefs, values, hopes, and goals. By centering your family’s identity, I can help support a home that truly reflects who you are. I have experience working with a wide range of families and circumstances, including addiction recovery, infants with special needs, and sleep support. No two families are the same, and I believe deeply that what works beautifully for one family may not work at all for another. As a postpartum doula, my primary goal is to meet families exactly where they are. By getting to know you and your needs, I can offer thoughtful, individualized support that helps establish a balanced and nurturing home. I try to be a non-judgmental, compassionate presence and someone who accepts you as you are and supports you as you become the parents you hope to be. I aim to be your biggest cheerleader, offering reassurance, practical help, and guidance along the way. At this time, I provide overnight postpartum care exclusively. ⸻ About Me As a mother to a vivacious pre-teen, I’ve experienced both the profound joys and the very real challenges of motherhood. While my daughter and I are happy and healthy today, her early years were marked by unexpected hospital stays, long periods of solo parenting, and eventually the work of building a successful co-parenting relationship. These experiences shaped me deeply and ignited my passion for supporting families navigating recovery, mental health challenges, past trauma, limited support systems, and complex family dynamics. When I gave birth in 2013, I had no idea postpartum doula support even existed. I believed new parents were simply supposed to figure it out on their own, and if they struggled, it meant they were failing. I now know how UNTRUE and harmful that belief can be. My mission is to ensure families know that support is available, and that they were never meant to do this alone. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I spent more than 20 years working as a nanny and childcare provider and earned an associate degree in pre-education. Four years ago, a friend introduced me to postpartum doula work, a role I had never heard of, but instantly knew was meant for me. Within weeks, I began my training, and I’ve never looked back. I wake up every day feeling grateful to do work that is meaningful, supportive, and deeply aligned with who I am. As a lifelong night owl who spent years trying to fit into a morning-person world, I’ve finally found my calling providing overnight postpartum care during my natural “prime time” hours. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I’ve been happily married to my best friend and biggest cheerleader for over three years. Together, we’ve blended our family with my daughter and his son. Now that our children are older, we share a passion for travel, curiosity, and fully experiencing the world around us. After years of letting life pass by, I now make a conscious effort to savor experiences (big and small) as they come. My friends and family often joke about my boundless energy and zest for life, and together with my husband and kids, we are always embracing what comes next.

I have always had a passion to support women and babies every since I was younger. I have been in the medical field for 7 years now since I graduated high school and am a medical assistant. I have also been a newborn nanny to multiple families. I fell in love the women’s health/OBGYN/labor and delivery when I started as a medical assistant 4 years ago and was a medical assistant for 2 years at a women’s clinic and fell in love with the women’s clinic and got to shadow over 10 births by the midwives and OB’s at the clinic. I am currently applying for nursing school to become a labor and delivery nurse but wanted to be active in this field of work right now, so this is where I decided to become a birth doula. I feel that I am very equipped and experienced in this field and cannot wait to meet you and your family and help you bring your baby(s) into the world in a way you feel comfortable and proud of and I am here to support you along that journey!

Hello! I'm a midwife in Forest Grove, OR, a small town west of Portland. I work with a small, skilled and dedicated team, and we have a cute office where we do most appointments. I believe that every birth deserves to be held sacred, and it should be honored as a sacred event. I do my best to blend ancient midwifery wisdom and modern medical tools to keep Mom and Baby safe and healthy while still giving the birth the time and space it deserves to unfold in its own way. I believe in providing clients the information and supporting them in their decisions. I focus on trust and relationship. The greatest goal for me is not just a healthy birth, but also for the family to feel stronger and supported during their experience.

My care is both grounded and flexible—rooted in knowledge, guided by intuition, and always centered on you.
