Find a Midwife Near Me in Oregon

I love to help the people around me to feel safe and supported. My passion is supporting families during the arrival of their baby, no matter the route, with the birthing person and their support team’s intentions at the forefront. I support my families through encouragement, position changes, calming touch, breathing techniques, advocating and forming a bond with the birthing person and their family to help develop a comforting environment to birth in. Birth is an experience that can foster growth, strength and passion and I feel my purpose is to help every expectant parent I interact with to have a positive and empowering transition into parenthood. Labor is transformational!

I'm a former licensed teacher that followed my passion to change my 17 year side job of childbirth education and birth doula work into a full time career. It started with earning my credentials as a childbirth educator from the Seattle Midwifery School and teaching in Portland area hospitals but morphed into doing birth doula work as people I met invited me to be part of their births. I like to say I fell into birth doula work unintentionally, but it ignited a passion to do it all that I could (while raising young children, teaching kindergarten part time, and teaching childbirth prep. WHEW! Those were busy years!) Fast forward to 2022, when I became an empty nester (letting both my scientist and my opera singing daughters fly!) and made the decision to leave the classroom and pursue birth doula work and childbirth education. I hold a Masters Degree in curriculum and instruction, so helping birthing people and their support team learn about birth is a natural and easy process for me. Once I decided to do birth work full time, I pursed further education as a birth doula (which was a review of a TINY part that I learned through childbirth educator training, LOL!) and became DONA certified as a birth doula. Through the years I have been lucky to experience a wide variety of births: medicated, unmedicated, planned and unplanned cesarean, VBAC, and so much more. I have years of experience helping those that birth, with or without neurodivergence and other challenges, find their way to empowerment and joy, no matter how their birth journey unfolds. I pull from a wide range of tools, tricks, and methods to provide what YOU would like your birth to look, sound, and feel like. From Hypnobirthing, breathing, crafting the ideal birthing environment to Spinning babies, position work, and comfort measures (comforting touch, using water & heat, leveraging pleasure for more oxytocin), I actively pursue discovering YOUR magic combination for reduced discomfort, labor length, and stress. I keep the birth space calm, safe, easy-going, compassionate, and positive, so that you can enter parenthood empowered and joyful. I provide individualized education, encouragement, and planning prior to labor, and support during the birth process to take the pressure and stress off of you and your labor support though an experience that can have a bazillion variables and may be alien to you. I keep it simple and as stress free as I possibly can so that you can be fully present and enjoy your prenatal, birth, and postpartum experience.

Hello families! My name is Becca, 45 years old, and I was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. I am very calm, loving, patient, responsible, and flexible.. Being a birth and postpartum doula is my passion and I find much happiness in this type of work! I have 20+years experience working as a nanny and early childhood education teacher. My education includes Postpartum and Birth Doula training in 2024 and a bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education in 2003. I’m also a mother to a wonderful and brilliant twelve year old girl Amelia. I am very active and love the outdoors, hot yoga, healthy cooking/baking and being around animals. I prefer to work in the SW Portland/Tigard/Beaverton/ area but I’m able to travel to accommodate your needs.

I have always had a passion to support women and babies every since I was younger. I have been in the medical field for 7 years now since I graduated high school and am a medical assistant. I have also been a newborn nanny to multiple families. I fell in love the women’s health/OBGYN/labor and delivery when I started as a medical assistant 4 years ago and was a medical assistant for 2 years at a women’s clinic and fell in love with the women’s clinic and got to shadow over 10 births by the midwives and OB’s at the clinic. I am currently applying for nursing school to become a labor and delivery nurse but wanted to be active in this field of work right now, so this is where I decided to become a birth doula. I feel that I am very equipped and experienced in this field and cannot wait to meet you and your family and help you bring your baby(s) into the world in a way you feel comfortable and proud of and I am here to support you along that journey!

Christ-Centered, Christian Doula Hi, I'm Eryn, a Mom to my 10 yr. old and a Holistic Birth and Postpartum Doula. I offer physical, emotional/spiritual and informational/educational support for pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I believe that this time period is a sacred rite of passage in your life worthy of the upmost respect, care, and support. I have been present for home births, hospital births, birthing center births, and provided support to postpartum families. I am currently offering Virtual Doula Support.

Peace, my name is Kiya Ellis and I am a Medicaid birth doula located in Detroit Michigan. I am very passionate about child birth and a firm believer that it does not have to be extremely painful or traumatic ; physically and mentally. I wish for all birthing people to have access to resources as such and to be asserted in their strength and livelihood.

I attended my first birth more than 25 years ago and very soon after began actively pursuing birthwork, trading off between midwifery apprenticeships and serving independently as a doula. Given my background, I'm a strong believer in individual family autonomy, true informed consent, and holistic continuity of care that includes extensive postpartum attention. I'm also quite the baby whisperer, even while they're still in the belly. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, cooking, going on long walks, and taking even longer naps. I'm best known for my authenticity, tenacity, quick wit, and contagious laugh.

Hello! I'm Andrea. I'm Oregon grown and after 6 years away, my husband and I have moved back to The Rogue Valley and I'm so excited to serve families here! I'm blessed with a large family and have the privilege of loving and doting on close to 30 nieces, nephews and other little ones. I've always been around babies, seen my loved ones go through pregnancies and admired the process, but the doula seed was planted after getting to be more directly involved with one of my goddaughter's entrances into the world in 2020. I fell in love with the strength, the ebb and flow, the literal labor of love. I also saw how scary the unknowns and certain aspects of the journey can be and I knew I wanted to help in some way. After a bit of research, I found what I want to be when I grow up! A doula! I started studying with Birth Arts International and the rest is history. In 2022 I decided to continue my education as a postnatal doula through Women’s Choice Perinatal. Along my doula journey I’ve gotten to build community with so many amazing birth workers and joined The Reno Doula Co-op in 2023. I've worked in caregiving capacities most of my adult life and feel I'm exactly where I need to be. I believe everyone deserves a compassionate and loving birth experience. My goal is to be accessible and reach as many people as possible to help your birth experience be the best it can be through you-centric care and support. Every person embarking on childbirth deserves to have someone in their corner, there for them no matter what, to guide and assist them in making educated choices about their pregnancy, birth experience and parenthood, and to remind them that they can trust the strength of their bodies and minds during this time. As a doula, I aim to bring compassionate, client-centered care and remind every client how empowered they are! Outside of birth work, you can find me spending time with family, playing with the littles, grabbing coffee and walking the river with friends, or traveling whenever and wherever I can. I’m also a huge theater geek (you should see the one-man Hamilton show I put on in my car) and Trekky nerd. I enjoy genuine honest connection and could talk for hours about what makes a person light up.

Hello! Supporting families through the birth year as a birth and postpartum doula brings me immense joy. As a dear friend of mine said, "Helping people move through huge life transitions is where it's at." I bring non-judgmental, compassionate, inclusive, evidence-based care to you and your family, however "family" looks for you. My training includes DONA-approved workshops for birth and postpartum doulas, lactation support, newborn care, pregnancy loss, abortion support, and prenatal/postpartum yoga. When not involved in birth work, I love to bake, play with my puppy, and read mysteries.
