Hello, I’m a IBCLC, registered nurse, birth doula, and certified childbirth educator. I provide in home lactation consulting to parents in Central Oregon. I have years of experience working with parents and infants, helping give guidance with infant care and feeding and postpartum health. I look forward to working with your family in this postpartum stage of life.

I am Kathryn Jonas and I am passionate about helping family's navigate their feeding goals. I am a proud Mama of two amazing kiddos and a dog. My family moved to Central Oregon from Eugene in 2017. When I became a mother, I fell in love with breastfeeding and a spark came alive inside. I knew I wanted to make this my career to assist other families in navigating their feeding goals with compassionate and informed care. My goal is to empower families from a loving and respectful place.

My name is Aly, and I'm a registered nurse and Board Certified Lactation ​Consultant. I feel strongly about helping new parents navigate the ​challenges of feeding their baby with confidence, education, and joy. I ​want to help you achieve your feeding goals in a way that works for ​YOU! My journey began as a birth photographer and continued as I became a ​labor and delivery nurse. Through my own struggles with breastfeeding, ​I found my passion in lactation consulting. My love for breastfeeding and ​birth work grew from there; I became a Certified Lactation Counselor ​(CLC) and then furthering my education and experience, became an ​Internationally Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). When I'm not supporting new parents with feeding their babies, I enjoy ​playing with my two kids, Nixon and Roman and spending time with my ​husband, Ryan, and our family. Whether it's traveling or camping, ​tending to my garden, or gaining knowledge about homesteading on ​my Grandparents' farm, I always find ways to make the most of my time ​with my family.

Hello, my name is Liz Weisenfluh, and I’m a board-certified lactation consultant (IBCLC) and certified birth and postpartum doula (THW Doula) living in Springfield, OR. I provide in-home support to families in Lane and surrounding counties with a care philosophy that blends evidence-based practice with respect for time-tested traditions of care from around the world. Let’s connect and see if I might be the right addition to your support team.

I have been an IBCLC for over 7 years, with experience in a hospital setting. I have done in home independent consulting with families for the past 3 years as well. I am also a post-partum RN (BSN) with over 25 years experience. My goal is to make breastfeeding goals and plans with you that create success for you and baby.

Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a birth doula based in Salem, and I’m so excited to support you and your family through this transformative journey. Before stepping into birth work, I spent 11 years as a teacher, working with students from diverse backgrounds. That experience shaped my deep belief in meeting people where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs, and honoring their personal goals. Birth is not one-size-fits-all, and you deserve support that respects your choices, values, and instincts. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life with a new little one, I’m here to provide compassionate care every step of the way. I believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to birth. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions while leaving space for what feels right for you. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth—with or without medication—I trust you to make the best choices for your body, your pregnancy, and your baby. My role is to provide guidance, reassurance, and continuous support so you can navigate this journey feeling empowered and prepared. I also understand that birth doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s an experience that impacts your partner, family, and birth team. That’s why I provide comprehensive support to your entire circle, making sure everyone feels informed, involved, and empowered. Birth isn’t just about the baby—it’s about you, your well-being, and the experience you want to create. Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of my practice. I’m passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health and emotional well-being, and I firmly believe that every family deserves the support they need—whether that’s through professional help, community resources, or simply having someone to lean on. I am committed to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for anti-racist practices in all aspects of my work. Your family is unique, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll probably find me curled up with a romance or fantasy novel, getting lost in a new crafting project, or tending to my ever-growing collection of plants (and trying to give away new starts I’ve rooted on my windowsill). I also love experimenting with vegetarian and vegan recipes, going on long walks, and enjoying imaginative games with my husband and two kids. No matter how your birth unfolds, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Whether you're loving every moment of pregnancy or just trying to survive it, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey!

Hi there, just looking to see if I can help!

Hi! I'm Emily, an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC) located in Portland, OR. Like many new parents, I faced feeding challenges I never expected, the kind that can make something "natural" feel anything but easy. Through those experiences, I discovered how powerful the right support can be, and I knew I wanted to be that support for other families. Today, I help parents navigate feeding with confidence, compassion and evidence-backed guidance. My goal is to make you feel seen, supported and empowered in your feeding journey. I see patients both in-home, and in-office in Lake Oswego, OR. In my free time, I enjoy all things exercise, traveling, trying all the amazing restaurants Portland has to offer, and doing anything with my 4 year old.

Hello lovely families! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and newborn care specialist, as well as a mother who has personally navigated the joys and challenges of early parenthood—including my own experience with postpartum depression. That journey deepened my commitment to holding space for families during the tender postpartum period, offering not just practical support but also emotional presence and understanding. With over seven years of experience leading an infant classroom and working as a nanny, I bring a strong foundation in early childhood development and hands-on infant care to the families I serve. My work is grounded in community care and social justice, centering the needs of marginalized families who too often face gaps in postpartum support. I approach each family with a holistic lens, blending evidence-based newborn and lactation guidance with an unwavering commitment to equity and collective healing. Supporting parents isn’t just my profession—it’s a calling shaped by lived experience, continued learning, and a deep love for this vital, sacred transition

The fullness of my life has been centered around children and maternal care and learning about herbs and how they support a natural lifestyle. I have been a childcare provider, prenatal to youth (special needs included for years past 18 years of age), for over 30 years. My decision to become a doula, and eventually to become a midwife, has been in the works throughout my life. I have been influenced by other doulas and midwives from the East and West Coast, with a predominance of this influence happening when I was in North Carolina. My mission is to ensure that mothers, and mothers-to-be have the resources, knowledge, and care needed to ensure the healthy births of their children, as well as knowledge of how to care for their newborns and older children. I have experience as a nutritional specialist (chef), well-baby care, well-Mama care, and family care and pre-and post-birth dynamics.
