About Kiya

Peace, my name is Kiya Ellis and I am a DONA/CAPPA trained birth doula located in the Portland Oregon area. I am very passionate about child birth and a firm believer that it does not have to be extremely painful or traumatic ; physically and mentally. I wish for all birthing people to have access to resources as such and to be asserted in their strength and livelihood.

Kiya was an incredible support throughout my entire journey. She helped me create a personalized birth plan and guided me through both in-person and online birth classes, preparing me for every step. She consistently provided helpful activities that made me feel confident and ready for labor. When the time came, Kiya was by my side from the very beginning until the next morning, offering encouraging words that kept my spirits high. Thanks to her dedication, I felt empowered and well-prepared. I am truly grateful to have had her support.

I was very scared when I started this process, and now I’m so happy that I made this decision. Kiya was so professional and knowledgeable about the whole process. It made me feel so secure with her and she really made sure that everything was going correctly. me and my fiancé couldn’t have done this without her and I thank god she was available for us and would highly recommend her to everyone that is interested in the self birthing process. Thank you
