My approach to postpartum care is deeply holistic, rooted in the belief that when a mother is cared for, the whole family thrives. While I certainly love babies, my philosophy is simple: I am not here to hold babies—I am here to hold mothers. As a postpartum doula, clinical social worker, herbalist, and mother myself, I weave together evidence-based support with ancestral wisdom to nurture the emotional, physical, and spiritual transition into motherhood. My care may include nourishing postpartum meals tailored to your body's healing needs, herbal support, nervous system regulation, gentle bodywork, ancestral healing practices, and compassionate emotional support. I also bring a thoughtful eye to the home, helping with light housekeeping, tending to older siblings, and creating a peaceful environment where you can truly rest and recover. My intention is for every mother to feel deeply seen, cherished, and held during one of life's most sacred transformations. At this time, I am offering in-home postpartum doula services, allowing families to receive personalized, nurturing care in the comfort of their own homes.

Working with Celia was one of the greatest gifts I gave myself after having my baby. From the moment she walked into our home, I felt like I could finally exhale. She has this incredible ability to notice exactly what needs tending to before you even have to ask. She prepared nourishing meals, quietly folded laundry, helped keep our home feeling peaceful, and always made sure I had water, snacks, and time to rest. But what meant the most was how she cared for me. She listened without judgment as I processed my birth story, held space for the hard emotions alongside the beautiful ones, and reminded me that I was doing an amazing job even on the days I couldn't see it myself. The herbal baths, bodywork, and Closing of the Bones ceremony were unlike anything I had ever experienced. I felt deeply honored, nurtured, and reconnected with myself after birth. It didn't feel like hiring someone to help... it felt like having an ancient village show up at my doorstep. If you're looking for someone who truly understands that postpartum is about caring for the mother as much as the baby, I cannot recommend Celia enough. Every new mother deserves to be cared for the way she cares for others.

Hello, friend! My name is Josie and I have been a Birth Doula since 2019. My goal as your Doula is to help you have the most satisfying birth experience possible by supporting you physically, emotionally, and educationally. As your Doula I will help you advocate for yourself so that you feel both seen and heard by the medical staff, I will help support you physically as you progress in labor, and I will be there as an encouragement and champion for you and your partner throughout your journey. I love pampering women in labor, but I'm also there to be a Doula to the partner/spouse because we all know it's a team effort. My goal is never to replace your labor support, but rather add to, direct, and encourage them. I love to craft, make jokes, cuddle my toddler when he lets me, read books, and wander throughout Oregon’s woods and coastlines. I’m an introvert and an enneagram 9, but I can be loud and fun, so don’t go confusing shy for quiet. 😉 I can’t wait to meet you!

I used Magnolia Moon Doula Services as a virtual doula for my child’s birth at the end of 2023. The support Josie provided was integral to my positive birth experience. The prenatal visit was so helpful for thinking through my birth plan. Josie also gave really useful information that I’d not received elsewhere. Being able to text and call Josie during labor with questions to help my labor progress gave me peace of mind, and she also reminded me of tools and practices I could ask the hospital for. It was a truly positive experience that cemented the importance of doulas for me. It was so helpful to have Magnolia Moon Doula Services walk with me through the preparation and birth experience, and I cannot recommend Josie more highly.

Hello! I’m Autumn Kuenzi, a Certified Postpartum Doula based in Oregon. I’m passionate about supporting families through the postpartum experience, whether it’s offering mental health guidance, sharing infant care tips, or providing help with anything else in between. My goal is to give you reliable resources and well-researched information to make the journey feel less overwhelming. I’m dedicated to empowering moms and helping them feel confident and successful in this important phase of life. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors. Nature is a huge priority in my life, and I love sharing adventures with my two kids. Whether it’s hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, or paddleboarding—we try it all! Building meaningful friendships and creating a sense of community is also important to me. I believe that living your best life requires the love and support of many.

Autumn was so thoughtful as our postpartum doula. She was organized and prepped when we first met and had helpful suggestions of what she could do to help me out as I was recovering. She was a huge help to our family and we found something that worked for us, she was great with our baby and I felt relieved knowing when she was coming over. She has amazing connections to additional resources and other contacts that we asked about navigating newborn life. We are so thankful to have had her in our journey!
