Hi, I’m Reegan! 🤍 I’m a birth and postpartum doula, and I’m especially passionate about helping families feel cared for, supported, and a little less overwhelmed during those first days and weeks with a new baby.

I offer practical newborn support, feeding support, postpartum care, light household help, nourishing meals, and lots of encouragement as you find your rhythm as a new family.

Whether your birth goes according to plan or takes an unexpected direction, my goal is to help you feel informed, heard, and supported in your choices. A little about me outside of doula work: I’m a birth photographer, I love being outside, gardening, cooking, taking walks and bike rides, and spending time with my family. I’m a big believer in creating community and making people feel like they have someone in their corner. I want my clients to feel like they can exhale when I walk through the door. You don’t need to have everything figured out—I’m here to meet you where you are, care for you as a whole person, and help make the transition into parenthood feel a little more supported. 🤍 -DONA doula certified -CPR -15 years in childcare experience

Hello, I’m currently working toward completing my doula certification, and I’m looking for birthing parents who would be willing to have me support them as one of my first solo clients. I’m just two births away from completing my certification, and I would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be invited into such an intimate and meaningful part of someone’s life. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, safe, and supported. The birthing parent deserves to have a voice in their birth, to ask questions, to change your mind, to be vulnerable, to advocate for yourself, and ultimately to have autonomy over your own body and your own experience. My role isn’t to tell you how to birth. It’s to stand beside you, listen to you, remind you of your strength, help you feel supported in your choices, and be there when things feel overwhelming. I want to be the person in your corner who can say, “You’re not alone. I’m right here.” I serve the Portland/ Vancouver Metro area and am currently available to support families with due dates in October, January and beyond. I know that being a newer doula means I’m still learning, growing, and finding my way — but what I can promise is that I will show up with my whole heart. I will listen. I will learn. I will respect you. And I will care deeply about the experience you have. With Kindness, Katie
