Hello, my name is Brooke Jackson, and I am a mother of two beautiful children. I offer full-spectrum doula and postpartum care with compassion, grounded in advocacy and respect for each family’s unique journey. With over three years of experience supporting pregnant and parenting individuals, I provide knowledgeable, steady, and heart-centered care throughout the prenatal, birth, and postpartum periods. My background includes working in a hospital setting at OHSU, where I gained valuable insight into medical systems, collaborative care, and patient advocacy. I support families in creating thoughtful, flexible birth plans, offer evidence-based information to support informed decision-making, and provide practical, nurturing guidance in newborn care and postpartum recovery. I am open-minded, nonjudgmental, and deeply committed to honoring each family’s values, culture, and goals. I believe informed choice, continuous support, and compassionate care are the foundation of a positive and empowering birth and postpartum experience.

I take a holistic approach to guiding you through your pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience. I specialize in creating a gentle, ceremonial birth environment, no matter where the birth takes place. I have become “family” with each client I serve. My passion is to help all parents feel supported and informed through every decision. I truth a birther’s intuition and I honor the magic that lies in every single birth. Birth work is a heart calling to me. It has cracked my heart open again and again. I can’t wait to see what magic lies ahead on your journey!

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.

The fullness of my life has been centered around children and maternal care and learning about herbs and how they support a natural lifestyle. I have been a childcare provider, prenatal to youth (special needs included for years past 18 years of age), for over 30 years. My decision to become a doula, and eventually to become a midwife, has been in the works throughout my life. I have been influenced by other doulas and midwives from the East and West Coast, with a predominance of this influence happening when I was in North Carolina. My mission is to ensure that mothers, and mothers-to-be have the resources, knowledge, and care needed to ensure the healthy births of their children, as well as knowledge of how to care for their newborns and older children. I have experience as a nutritional specialist (chef), well-baby care, well-Mama care, and family care and pre-and post-birth dynamics.

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 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.
