Now Booking for Fall 2026! I believe everyone deserves a village. I also know that asking for help, especially during the transition to parenthood, is one of the bravest and most vulnerable things a person can do. My role as a postpartum doula is to come alongside families during this tender season, helping them identify their unique needs and supporting them as they grow into their new roles. One of the greatest gifts I can offer is helping families feel more rested, confident, and resourced. I approach each family with care and curiosity, always honoring their culture, beliefs, values, hopes, and goals. By centering your family’s identity, I can help support a home that truly reflects who you are. I have experience working with a wide range of families and circumstances, including addiction recovery, infants with special needs, and sleep support. No two families are the same, and I believe deeply that what works beautifully for one family may not work at all for another. As a postpartum doula, my primary goal is to meet families exactly where they are. By getting to know you and your needs, I can offer thoughtful, individualized support that helps establish a balanced and nurturing home. I try to be a non-judgmental, compassionate presence and someone who accepts you as you are and supports you as you become the parents you hope to be. I aim to be your biggest cheerleader, offering reassurance, practical help, and guidance along the way. At this time, I provide overnight postpartum care exclusively. ⸻ About Me As a mother to a vivacious pre-teen, I’ve experienced both the profound joys and the very real challenges of motherhood. While my kiddo and I are happy and healthy today, our early years were marked by unexpected hospital stays, long periods of solo parenting, and eventually the work of building a successful co-parenting relationship. These experiences shaped me deeply and ignited my passion for supporting families navigating recovery, mental health challenges, past trauma, limited support systems, and complex family dynamics. When I gave birth in 2013, I had no idea postpartum doula support even existed. I believed new parents were simply supposed to figure it out on their own, and if they struggled, it meant they were failing. I now know how UNTRUE and harmful that belief can be. My mission is to ensure families know that support is available, and that they were never meant to do this alone. Before becoming a postpartum doula, I spent more than 20 years working as a nanny and childcare provider and earned an associate degree in pre-education. Four years ago, a friend introduced me to postpartum doula work, a role I had never heard of, but instantly knew was meant for me. Within weeks, I began my training, and I’ve never looked back. I wake up every day feeling grateful to do work that is meaningful, supportive, and deeply aligned with who I am. As a lifelong night owl who spent years trying to fit into a morning-person world, I’ve finally found my calling providing overnight postpartum care during my natural “prime time” hours. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, I’ve been happily married to my best friend and biggest cheerleader for over three years. Together, we’ve blended our family with my kiddo and his son. Now that our children are older, we share a passion for travel, curiosity, and fully experiencing the world around us. After years of letting life pass by, I now make a conscious effort to savor experiences (big and small) as they come. My friends and family often joke about my boundless energy and zest for life, and together with my husband and kids, we are always embracing what comes next.

We were very fortunate to work with Larah after the birth of our twins and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for postpartum support. Beyond expert overnight care of the babies, Larah brought genuine openness, warmth, curiosity, and compassion into our home helping us all to feel held through the tender newborn period. We all deserve a Larah in our lives. Worth every penny.

Autumn was so thoughtful as our postpartum doula. She was organized and prepped when we first met and had helpful suggestions of what she could do to help me out as I was recovering. She was a huge help to our family and we found something that worked for us, she was great with our baby and I felt relieved knowing when she was coming over. She has amazing connections to additional resources and other contacts that we asked about navigating newborn life. We are so thankful to have had her in our journey!

Hello! I’m Jordan, and I'm deeply passionate about nurturing families and caring for little ones. After spending more than a decade as a nanny, I discovered just how much I love showing up for families in whatever way they need, day by day. Being closely connected to many families and dear friends during their pregnancies, births, and postpartum journeys opened my eyes to just how transformative and intense the perinatal season can be. That experience sparked a desire in me to learn everything I could about supporting people during this sacred time, and it quickly became clear that becoming a doula was my calling. I went on to train as a fertility, birth, and postpartum doula, and found myself especially drawn to supporting families during the postpartum period. It's a time that often feels overlooked, despite being so crucial. I completed my postpartum doula certification and began my work, focusing on offering real, tangible support when families need it most. As a postpartum doula, I’m here to walk alongside new parents as they find their footing and build confidence in their own instincts. My approach is rooted in being a calm, grounding, and consistent presence during what can be an overwhelming transition. I tailor my support to meet each family's individual needs because no two postpartum journeys look the same. It’s incredibly important to me that the families I support feel safe, heard, and cared for, every step of the way. One of the biggest challenges I noticed early on was sleep, or more accurately, the serious lack of it. Wanting to better guide families through that hurdle, I became certified as an Infant and Family Sleep Specialist. Supporting families with sleep, including overnight care, has since become a core part of my work and something I care deeply about. As a queer person, I’m especially passionate about affirming and supporting families of all kinds. It’s a true honor to be welcomed into such a personal and powerful chapter in someone’s life, and I’m endlessly grateful for the opportunity to do this work. Please note: I have a the majority of my testimonials on google under Bun and Bundle

Having Jordan become part of our village during our first weeks with a newborn was one of the best decisions we've made as new parents. From the very first night, she brought a calm, steady presence into our home. Jordan was incredibly kind, endlessly patient, and completely unfazed by the chaos of newborn life and the messy, emotional reality of postpartum recovery. She was warm and gentle with our baby—someone we fully trusted to care for them while we got some much-needed rest. Jordan's flexibility with scheduling and willingness to adapt as our needs changed was something we didn’t realize we’d value so much until we were in it. Jordan also has that rare ability to show up with quiet confidence and deep compassion, without ever making it about her. She just makes things feel manageable—and in those early weeks, that’s everything. If you're on the fence, don’t be. Jordan is the kind of support every family deserves in the thick of those exhausting, beautiful first months.

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.

I had the most spectacular experience with my pregnancy and delivery, all thanks to a huge part of Andrea's care and help. Her demeanor is professional with just the right touch of home. She goes above and beyond to get you any information you need. She uses her resources and all her energy to make sure you have a calm mind throughout the entirety of your experience. Andrea's calm demeanor and witty jokes made me feel home and safe, though I was in a hospital room. She encouraged me to speak my truth and ask questions to the nursing staff at Carson Tahoe Hospital. I cannot wait to be pregnant again. Thank you Andrea for going above and beyond for not just myself and my daughter, but for my husband as well. You did mental checks with him as well as with me. You made sure we both had drinks and nourishment. You truly made her journey into this world memorable.

Birth is a personal and sacred experience. My approach is rooted in respect for your unique journey, choices, and intuition. My first step is to listen to provide personalized guidance and unwavering advocacy to Mamas and their loved ones. Every birthing person should be heard and empowered. I provide compassionate care rooted in comfort and joy and evidence-based information to help you make the best decisions for you and your baby. I believe every woman deserves a doula! My mission is to provide unconditional and accessible support to each client I am honored to support. I trained under the experience and expertise of the Springfield Family Doulas! I am also an educator and certified yoga teacher, and I incorporate these skills into the structure of my holistic doula services.

I had the pleasure of working with Lorrie as my doula for the birth of my first child, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. From the start, she put my mind at ease, building my confidence through her deep knowledge of the birthing process. She helped me navigate my options to create a flexible birth plan that felt exactly right for me. Our weekly virtual prenatal yoga sessions were a lifesaver—not only for stress reduction but for mental preparation. Lorrie tailored every pose to my needs and taught me breathing techniques that became essential during labor. She even prepared my support team so they knew exactly how to show up for me. My goal was to labor at home as long as possible. Thanks to Lorrie’s calm guidance through intense contractions, I arrived at the hospital 8cm dilated! Even when things took an unexpected turn resulting in an emergency C-section and a NICU stay, Lorrie stayed by my side. She gave me the tools to advocate for myself and provided constant encouragement during a difficult time. Lorrie provides holistic, culturally appropriate care that every birthing person deserves. I’m now a healthy mama to a healthy baby boy, and I can't wait to have her support me again for my next child.

As a doula, clinical herbalist, and massage therapist, I walk alongside mothers with a presence that is both gentle and deeply grounded. I believe that healing thrives in environments of trust, tenderness, and nourishment, and I cultivate that space for every family I serve. The fourth trimester is a sacred window of transformation, and my role is to help you move through it with steadiness, warmth, and compassionate support. My philosophy is rooted in honoring your intuition and the ancient wisdom of the body. I offer a holistic blend of postpartum care, therapeutic touch, and plant-based remedies to help soothe the nervous system, reduce tension, and support your full-body healing. Whether preparing nourishing meals, providing bodywork, or simply holding space for your emotions, my intention is always the same: to help you feel seen, supported, and deeply resourced as you settle into life with your baby.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing! I cannot recommend her enough. She is an incredible chef, a knowledgeable herbalist, a skilled masseuse, and truly one of the kindest souls I’ve ever met. We feel so blessed to have found her and for everything she has brought into our lives. As a postpartum doula, she was unbelievably supportive. She helped with the baby, cooked nourishing meals for me, and did light household chores—relieving so much pressure during those early weeks. She meal-prepped any recipe I requested and offered thoughtful suggestions based on where I was in my postpartum journey.  Her herbal remedies were also a game changer. She created custom teas to support when I had low iron and low vitamin D, as well as one one to help with UTIs. Her tinctures are some of the best I’ve ever tasted—smooth rather than harsh. I especially loved the schisandra berry elixir, the lion’s mane elixir, and the cacao reishi elixir. I also used her seasonal oxymel for allergies. Her skincare products are equally amazing; her womb-warming oil and belly balm tallow both smelled incredible and made me feel so cared for. On top of all that, she is a fantastic masseuse. She even taught me a few massage techniques to help break down scar tissue from my emergency cesarean.If you’re looking for a kind, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated doula, Jennifer is your lady!

It’s truly an honor to be trusted in such intimate spaces, and it’s a role I don’t take lightly. I am continually humbled by the beauty of witnessing these tender moments. In my downtime, you'll find me spending time with my family, exploring the forest, baking, and nerding out about women's health.

Kelsi was my post partum doula and she was absolutely amazing - during a difficult time!! She sat down with us to talk about our postpartum intentions and was thoughtful about our personal considerations - work schedules, pets, gardens etc. this was so helpful to bring us together to help us be realistic about our expectations. When the time came, Kelsi was there for the birth. A blur to me now but I remember being dutifully taken care or. She was a supportive presence in the delivery and like a little magic creature , she tidied up after the ordeal whilst midwives tended to me. I completely trust her to take care of my home and my creatures, but me and baby above all. Kelsi’s food deliveries were exceptional and I still crave her food. Massages were great, moxa fabulous. A gentle but supportive presence, friendly and professional. I am so glad she is a part of those memories for me. Endless praise and thanks for Kelsi!!

We feel so grateful to have found Amy as our postpartum doula. From the very beginning, she has been kind, caring, and nurturing, not only with our five-month-old baby, who absolutely adores her, but with our whole family. Amy truly understands postpartum life can be sometimes lonely and overwhelming. She has been such a wonderful presence, someone I can talk to openly, who listens and reassures without judgment. She makes me feel seen and supported, and she reminds me that it really does take a village to raise a little human. She consistently goes above and beyond in her care, and we’ve come to deeply trust her. She is always punctual, communicative, and dependable, which makes it easy to relax knowing our baby is in the best hands. Having Amy as part of our support system has made this season of life lighter and more joyful. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
