Find a Birth or Postpartum Doula Near Me in Oregon

For the past three years, I have had the honor of serving as a birth doula, supporting families as they prepare for one of the most transformative moments of their lives. My mission is to help families explore and voice their preferences, feel empowered in their decisions, and prepare both emotionally and physically for birth. I provide active, continuous support during labor, offering reassurance, comfort measures, and steady guidance throughout the entire process. I am deeply committed to advocacy, ensuring my clients feel heard, respected, and informed every step of the way. I help create a safe and nurturing space where each family can confidently welcome their beautiful bundle of joy. My work extends into the postpartum period, where I continue to provide guidance, encouragement, and compassionate care as families adjust to their new chapter.

Dear Mother, Congratulations on the new life growing within you! Pregnancy, birth, and motherhood are sacred journeys, and I honor the beauty of this season in your life. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and so is your baby. I am praying for you—for peace in your heart, strength in your body, and wisdom as you prepare for this incredible transition. Know that you are not alone, and that God is with you every step of the way. Hi, I’m Stephani, and I am honored to walk alongside families as they navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. As a Christian doula, I can provide a strong foundation of prayer and biblical affirmations to help you find peace in the unknowns of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Whether it’s through prayer, worship music, Christian hypnobirthing, or Bible-based affirmations, I will support you in creating a birth experience that reflects your faith and values. "I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers." – Ephesians 1:16 (ESV)

Hi there! My name is Emani, and I’m excited you came across my profile!✨ I am a recent graduate from the naturopathic medical school here in Portland, NUNM, with my doctorate in naturopathic medicine and certificate in natural childbirth. During my schooling, I had the privilege of attending over 10 births assisting local naturopathic midwives. I have completed my training with Doula School International where we learned effective positions for labor, soothing techniques to manage pain, as well as the intersectionality of birth and how to assist clients who may be struggling with their mental health in a trauma-informed way. As I am completing my doula certification, I am offering discounted doula services in exchange for an evaluation from you. These services include 2 prenatal visits, support during labor and delivery, and 1 postpartum visit. I look forward to supporting you during this momentous time! ✨

Experienced postpartum doula and surrogate with educational background in maternal-child health looking to support new families as they transition into the role of parents. I offer support that fits your needs to feel confident in becoming a parent, to feel safe and cared for in my presence, and feel well-cared for during the fourth trimester. I am a mom of two daughters and postpartum healing is so important; you cannot pour from an empty glass and I’m here to ensure you are healing in order to care for and bond with your baby and be fully present with them.

My approach to postpartum care is deeply holistic, rooted in the belief that when a mother is cared for, the whole family thrives. While I certainly love babies, my philosophy is simple: I am not here to hold babies—I am here to hold mothers. As a postpartum doula, clinical social worker, herbalist, and mother myself, I weave together evidence-based support with ancestral wisdom to nurture the emotional, physical, and spiritual transition into motherhood. My care may include nourishing postpartum meals tailored to your body's healing needs, herbal support, nervous system regulation, gentle bodywork, ancestral healing practices, and compassionate emotional support. I also bring a thoughtful eye to the home, helping with light housekeeping, tending to older siblings, and creating a peaceful environment where you can truly rest and recover. My intention is for every mother to feel deeply seen, cherished, and held during one of life's most sacred transformations. At this time, I am offering in-home postpartum doula services, allowing families to receive personalized, nurturing care in the comfort of their own homes.

Hello, I’m currently working toward completing my doula certification, and I’m looking for birthing parents who would be willing to have me support them as one of my first solo clients. I’m just two births away from completing my certification, and I would be incredibly grateful for the opportunity to be invited into such an intimate and meaningful part of someone’s life. I believe every birthing person deserves to feel heard, respected, informed, safe, and supported. The birthing parent deserves to have a voice in their birth, to ask questions, to change your mind, to be vulnerable, to advocate for yourself, and ultimately to have autonomy over your own body and your own experience. My role isn’t to tell you how to birth. It’s to stand beside you, listen to you, remind you of your strength, help you feel supported in your choices, and be there when things feel overwhelming. I want to be the person in your corner who can say, “You’re not alone. I’m right here.” I serve the Portland/ Vancouver Metro area and am currently available to support families with due dates in October, January and beyond. I know that being a newer doula means I’m still learning, growing, and finding my way — but what I can promise is that I will show up with my whole heart. I will listen. I will learn. I will respect you. And I will care deeply about the experience you have. With Kindness, Katie

Hi! I live in Springfield Oregon and I’m a mom of 4 and grandma of 2. I completed my doula and postpartum training in April 2024 through SMC Doulas in Portland and it was a wonderful experience! I was a 20 year old single mom when I had my oldest daughter and I birthed alone, just myself, the nurse and my dr and it was an experience that I never wanted to repeat or have anyone I knew have. I will support you, advocate with you for your needs and desires and be there as little or as much as you need. I will also be there for you postpartum holding your baby so you can shower, washing laundry, doing dishes, making meals, you tell me what you need and I can accommodate you. I can meet with you virtually over zoom or in person. My goal is to keep my doula business small and basically be on call when you need me taking only a couple clients at a time. If you wake up at 3am and need to talk I can accommodate that. Being pregnant, giving birth, having a newborn and being a brand new parent all can be anxiety producing and at the same the happiest times of your life! I understand that completely!!
