My love of childbirth was ignited after the birth of my first daughter.  I was blessed with continuous support during my own birth experience and knowing the difference it made for me, I was inspired to be a part of a community of women helping each other through the most transformative and empowering moment of their lives.  My journey began focused on midwifery; however, after learning of doula work and the direct, personal impact it can have on a woman’s birth story, I knew this path was a better fit for me.  As a student of Mother Tree Birth Services, I completed a DONA approved birth doula training in 2014, followed by a 6-month intensive birth doula internship. I support all types of birth in all settings. I’m trained in Hypnobirth, the Mongan Method as well as traditional natural birth methods in addition to planned epidural birth. I will support your choices as if they were my own.

Kate helped me throughout my pregnancy and has especially been there during my postpartum recovery. I love how she constantly checks in and asks how I'm feeling and doing. Her focus on me over the baby really helped. She's very knowledgeable about postpartum emotions and helped me feel normal when my hormones were making me feel crazy. I know I'm not alone thanks to Kate.

Hi there! Welcome! I'm Zoë, and I'm so happy you're here! I am currently on my journey to becoming a birth, postpartum, and abortion doula in the Portland, OR area. Advocacy, empowerment, and loving kindness are at the heart of what has drawn me to practice.

Hi! My name is Skyler and I am a labor and postpartum doula serving Washougal, Camas, Vancouver and Portland.

It's my goal to create a space where you feel supported, empowered, and educated to make decisions that support yourself and your family. I have a passion for helping to create a village from pregnancy to postpartum!

Recent review

Where do I begin? Skyler pretty much became part of our family now. She is just absolutely incredible at what she does and was the perfect postpartum doula. From listening to me cry through the Baby Blues to making sure I have enough water and eat lunch, Skyler always knew exactly what my family and I needed in the moment. She is extremely empathetic and has some kind of a sixth sense which helped her always do and say the right thing. The way she handled my toddler boys and my newborn baby girl with so much grace and patience was inspiring. Skyler is extremely organized, clean, an amazing cook and creative with looking after the older kids. I feel fortunate to have met her and create a bond that we now share. You cannot go wrong with hiring Skyler and I would even say, you absolutely need her to survive the postpartum period.

Crystal is an amazing doula - she lives and breathes this work. I sought her out after I learned she had natural births with both of her babies and had experience with co-sleeping and breastfeeding. She delivered on that experience and expertise by setting me up with all the coping skills my husband and I needed to labor at home. She took time to answer my questions about the birthing process, breastfeeding and post partum, provided me with useful tools, checked on me frequently, loved and supported me during my post partum and has continued to be a resource since. I highly recommend Crystal as your doula as she will put her heart and soul in to being there for you. Crystal really walks the talk which was so important for me in choosing the right doula. Don’t let her slip away!

Hi! I'm Sophie Brabec, I'm a birth doula located in Battle Ground, WA. My passion for birth work was sparked by the incredible beauty and joy I see in pregnancy and birth. I believe that every woman in labor deserves compassionate, individualized support and that a calm, attentive presence is immensely beneficial during labor. I believe that women have an innate capability to give birth in the way that’s best for them. I'm eager to remind women of that innate capability and passionate about supporting women through their labor in order that they might have the birth they want. I aim to protect your birth preferences by being your advocate as well as encourage and empower you to approach birth confidently through informed support. Outside of birth work I'm happiest when I'm spending time with family and my church community, reading, being creative and getting into nature.

I am a trauma-informed and gender affirming birth worker in Marion County, Oregon, providing a range of parenting support packages. I am a firm believer in parenting intuition and that each of us already holds many of the answers that we need. But during pregnancy and childbirth, there are so many new ideas and choices to consider that it can feel incredibly overwhelming. I excel in helping you explore all of your options, focusing in on what really matters to you, and preparing you to feel confident in your parenting role.

In May of 2022 Camille became a certified Labor Doula and then added a certification in Postpartum and Infant Care in February of 2023. She is excited to be living her dream of supporting mamas and their families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as a doula. She lives in Yamhill County, Oregon with her new baby boy, her husband, and their mini Aussie, Remi.

Recent review

Working with Camille was such a blessing. She sat down with me to learn about my desires for birth but also had questions to get to know me better so she could truly support me in the ways I needed. She also had great resources for both me and my birth partner which were so helpful since this was my first pregnancy. She checked in towards the end of my pregnancy but never in an annoying way. You could tell she was genuinely wanting to make sure I was doing okay and making decisions I was comfortable with. During labor she walked right into the room and immediately started comforting me. She set out my affirmation cards, massaged my hands after I had to get my iv redone, she held essential oils up to my nose as I experienced nausea and she helped my nurses move me into different positions in bed. Once I was in active labor and was pushing I remember hearing her words of encouragement but it was subtle so that I could also feel the presence and support of my mom who was in the room as well. Camille did a wonderful job of being there for me while also supporting the team of people around me. I felt very taken care of and I am forever grateful for that presence!

When I first started in the business of helping people I worked as an alcohol and drug counselor at a residential treatment facility. I worked with and guided people from very diverse backgrounds. That work has directly applied to my ability to effectively communicate with and support others. After my time as a counselor I co-founded and currently co-own a personal training business that specializes in training folks who are pregnant and postpartum. Becoming a doula seemed like a natural next step as an extension of what I'm already passionate about doing: helping and empowering people.
