Find a Newborn Care Specialist Near Me in Oregon

Hello lovely families! I’m a postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and newborn care specialist, as well as a mother who has personally navigated the joys and challenges of early parenthood—including my own experience with postpartum depression. That journey deepened my commitment to holding space for families during the tender postpartum period, offering not just practical support but also emotional presence and understanding. With over seven years of experience leading an infant classroom and working as a nanny, I bring a strong foundation in early childhood development and hands-on infant care to the families I serve. My work is grounded in community care and social justice, centering the needs of marginalized families who too often face gaps in postpartum support. I approach each family with a holistic lens, blending evidence-based newborn and lactation guidance with an unwavering commitment to equity and collective healing. Supporting parents isn’t just my profession—it’s a calling shaped by lived experience, continued learning, and a deep love for this vital, sacred transition

Hello! I'm a midwife in Forest Grove, OR, a small town west of Portland. I work with a small, skilled and dedicated team, and we have a cute office where we do most appointments. I believe that every birth deserves to be held sacred, and it should be honored as a sacred event. I do my best to blend ancient midwifery wisdom and modern medical tools to keep Mom and Baby safe and healthy while still giving the birth the time and space it deserves to unfold in its own way. I believe in providing clients the information and supporting them in their decisions. I focus on trust and relationship. The greatest goal for me is not just a healthy birth, but also for the family to feel stronger and supported during their experience. I hope my clients leave care feeling empowered and trusting their own intuition.

Hi there! I’m Stephanie, a birth doula based in Salem, and I’m so excited to support you and your family through this transformative journey. Before stepping into birth work, I spent 11 years as a teacher, working with students from diverse backgrounds. That experience shaped my deep belief in meeting people where they are, adapting my approach to their individual needs, and honoring their personal goals. Birth is not one-size-fits-all, and you deserve support that respects your choices, values, and instincts. Whether you're navigating pregnancy, preparing for birth, or adjusting to life with a new little one, I’m here to provide compassionate care every step of the way. I believe that knowledge is power—especially when it comes to birth. My approach is rooted in evidence-based care, giving you the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions while leaving space for what feels right for you. Whether you’re planning a hospital birth, birth center experience, or home birth—with or without medication—I trust you to make the best choices for your body, your pregnancy, and your baby. My role is to provide guidance, reassurance, and continuous support so you can navigate this journey feeling empowered and prepared. I also understand that birth doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it’s an experience that impacts your partner, family, and birth team. That’s why I provide comprehensive support to your entire circle, making sure everyone feels informed, involved, and empowered. Birth isn’t just about the baby—it’s about you, your well-being, and the experience you want to create. Inclusivity and respect are at the heart of my practice. I’m passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health and emotional well-being, and I firmly believe that every family deserves the support they need—whether that’s through professional help, community resources, or simply having someone to lean on. I am committed to being an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community and advocating for anti-racist practices in all aspects of my work. Your family is unique, and I’m here to support you in a way that feels right for you. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll probably find me curled up with a romance or fantasy novel, getting lost in a new crafting project, or tending to my ever-growing collection of plants (and trying to give away new starts I’ve rooted on my windowsill). I also love experimenting with vegetarian and vegan recipes, going on long walks, and enjoying imaginative games with my husband and two kids. No matter how your birth unfolds, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and fully supported. Whether you're loving every moment of pregnancy or just trying to survive it, you don’t have to do it alone. I’d love to walk alongside you on this journey!

Hi! I live in Springfield Oregon and I’m a mom of 4 and grandma of 2. I’ve wanted to be a doula since before I even knew the name of what the job was. I had assumed you needed a degree and/or medical training to be a birth advocate and as soon I found out exactly how to become a doula I did! 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!!
