Hey there, my name is Caroline Patterson and I'm a Certified Birth Doula under DONA. I've been a Doula since 2018 and absolutely love what I do! I've attended births in hospitals, homes, and birth centers. I have an herbal body care business and am deciding to pursue my path to becoming a midwife soon, as well. I live in Oregon House which makes for a unique location to be able to provide services in both Yuba and Nevada County and surrounding areas. I believe in holding space for my clients and making sure they feel safe, seen, and heard. I empower you by supporting you in making your own informed and intuitive decisions—you know your body and baby better than anyone else. While healthcare providers do a wonderful job making sure your little one is delivered safely, my main focus is on your specific needs, desires, emotions, and comfort. I’m here to witness you in your power and do all that I can to support you in your process. With the most care and respect, I will be a Guardian of your Birthing space.

Caroline was an invaluable asset to my pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, she provided educational resources, a listening ear, and the tools to guide me through meaningful experiences. It felt so reassuring to know I had someone I could call/text at any time when I had a question about something or just needed to talk. I wanted to feel really connected to myself, nature and my baby during my pregnancy, birth and post-partum journey, and Caroline helped me achieve that. By guiding me through sacred ceremonies, I was able to practice these connections in a way that I wouldn't have on my own. I will never forget these experiences and they were well worth the investment! During the birth, Caroline was by my side the entire time and provided a much needed calming presence. She was so intuitive to my needs and was always one step ahead. From making me smoothies, to wiping my forehead with a cold cloth, to holding space during my contractions...I can't imagine going through birth without her. Highly recommend Caroline as a doula :)
