Micaela Lopez Birth & Postpartum Doula in Springfield, OR
About Micaela
Hola! My name is Micaela López, and I’m a holistic birth and postpartum doula with over 8 years of experience walking alongside families on their sacred birthing journey. Before stepping into birth work, I spent 15 years as an educator in both public and private schools. In 2018, I followed the call of my soul into the path of birth and trained as a birth doula with Doula Love in Portland. Since then, I’ve deepened my practice through midwifery assistant training with the Center for Indigenous Midwifery in Washington and a transformative year-long apprenticeship with midwife Cosima. These experiences have gifted me both modern and ancestral tools to support women with presence, compassion, and care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. It is my honor to walk beside you—holding space, offering guidance, and honoring the sacredness of every step on your birthing journey.

Closing of the Bones Ceremony / Ceremonia de Cierre de Cadera
The Closing of the Bones ceremony is a deeply meaningful postpartum tradition that honors and supports the profound transition a woman undergoes after giving birth. Rooted in the wisdom of ancestral cultures, this ritual helps bring physical, emotional, and spiritual closure to the birthing process. Through gentle wrapping, massage, and intentional touch, the ceremony provides the mother with a sense of containment, grounding, and restoration, inviting her body to realign and her spirit to integrate the immense experience of bringing new life into the world. Beyond physical healing, Closing of the Bones creates a sacred space for acknowledgment, release, and nourishment, reminding mothers that they, too, deserve care, reverence, and renewal during this tender chapter.
Herbal Bath - Postpartum Care
An herbal bath is a deeply nourishing and restorative practice for postpartum healing, offering comfort, cleansing, and renewal for both body and spirit. The warm water infused with healing herbs soothes soreness, reduces inflammation, supports tissue repair, and promotes gentle recovery after birth. Beyond the physical benefits, an herbal bath creates a sacred moment of stillness, allowing the new mother to pause, breathe, and reconnect with herself amidst the demands of caring for her baby. This sacred practice not only honors the body’s need for rest and repair but also provides emotional grounding and a sense of being held in nature’s medicine, reminding mothers that their healing is essential and worthy of care.
Yoni Steaming | Vaginal Steaming
Yoni steaming is a traditional practice that supports women’s wellness by offering gentle, holistic care to the womb and pelvic area. The warmth of the herbal steam encourages circulation, relaxes the pelvic floor, and supports the body’s natural cleansing and restoration, especially during postpartum recovery or times of transition. Beyond the physical benefits, yoni steaming is a deeply intentional practice that allows women to slow down, connect with their bodies, and release stored tension or emotions. This practice honors the womb as a sacred center of creation and vitality, inviting balance, renewal, and a deeper sense of grounding and self-nourishment.
