Hey, I’m Elliot. I’m a THW‑certified doula based in Portland, Oregon. I’ve always been drawn to supporting pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood, and I’m honored to walk alongside families during such a meaningful, transformative time. As a trans man, I also recognize how often queer people and their families are underrepresented and underserved in medical settings. My practice centers LGBT+ parents and is grounded in trauma‑informed, non‑judgmental care through a lens of reproductive justice—so birthing parents and their partners feel empowered to make informed decisions about their bodies and their care. I bring patience, calm, and genuine curiosity to every birth space. I’m a steady listener, an advocate when needed, and a gentle presence when quiet support is best. When I’m off‑call, you’ll find me making art, writing, cuddling my cats, or happily bumbling through a new videogame. If you’re seeking affirming support for your pregnancy and birth, I’d love to connect. I completed my initial training through Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and am fully THW certified through Mother Tree Birth. I've taken a cultural competency course -- including trauma informed care, interprofessional collaboration, and HIPAA training –, also through Mother Tree Birth; and I've also completed an Oral Health course and an adult/child CPR training course. I’m happy to provide documentation for all of the above, feel free to ask!

As a holistic birth and postpartum doula, I offer grounded, intuitive support, empowering and nurturing new and growing families through the transformative portal of birth. My approach to care is informed by my deep studies of physiologic birth, herbalism and a decade working in childcare, the arts, journalism and food and retail. In our work together, we will be tuning to the cues from the body and centering nourishment, emotional wellbeing and connection to our natural rhythms. Together we'll take each moment as it arrives, looking to make the most out of all the tools available to help you move through each threshold in the way that is most true to your inner knowing. Rooted in the wisdom of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine, the postpartum care I offer provides deep nourishment and helps to cultivate warmth, ease and restorative rest and connection. My hope is that this support helps to nourish families and communities so that we might reclaim the ceremony of birth in all of its forms and create a new collective future of autonomy, connection and wholeness. When not with families, you can find me likely making something with my hands, either in the garden, knitting, at home in my kitchen, or crafting some herbal concoction. I treasure my time spent near water, at the river, or on the coast in Northern California or my native New England.

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.
