Marley was a such a gentle and calming presence during early labor. She helped me stay relaxed and in the zone while laboring in the delivery room and was an amazing emotional support to both me and my partner!

Hello, I'm Emily, a CAPPA certified postpartum doula. Originally from Portland, I traveled and worked as a nanny in Corvallis, Grand Cayman, Amsterdam, SF, and Denver—almost always with babies. I transitioned to doula work in San Francisco and have loved quickly adapting to each family's needs ever since. I excel at making parents comfortable, soothing babies and providing guidance, as well as fitting myself in wherever help is needed in your household. Be that baby care, cooking, organizing, laundry, massage, or a sympathetic and impartial ear. I will support you so that you can confidently care for your new tiny human!

Emily is truly the best. As our postpartum doula with our third child, Emily was amazing in everything she did - caring for the baby with expertise and love, keeping our family well nourished, attending to my needs and the needs of our older children, keeping our house clean, and always bringing joy into our home. Emily is wonderful and a gift to anyone who gets to work with her.

Welcome! I'm Doula Mindy and I am passionate about the health of young children and families, in all their unique beauty. For the last 25 years I have been an Early Intervention Specialist and Early Childhood Special Education teacher. As a postpartum doula, I love working with families in their home, using the equipment and materials they have available and meeting each person where they are emotionally, mentally and experientially. As a parent coach, working with families through a virtual platform has been a game changer. We can dive deep into developmental issues and parents leave each session with new tools in their toolbox. While I love working with all families, I have a special place in my heart for parents with: *traumatic birth stories *a child in or transitioning from NICU *multiples *infants with identified disabilities *neurodiverse parents *neurodiverse children *diverse family structures In my free time, I enjoy exploring the PNW with my partner in our camper van, reading in my hammock, trying to grow things in my garden, spending time with my adult daughter, and snuggling with my two doxies.

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.
