Bereavement Doulas in Portland, ME

Hi! I’m Jillian Hollis! I am a Postpartum and Birth Doula, Lactation Counselor, Mindful Birth Educator, Newborn Care Specialist, Infant Sleep Coach + Miscarriage Doula serving families in Greater Portland. I’m also the Associate Director of Boston Doula Circle and on the Board of Directors for Community Doulas. I believe all parents deserves calm, loving, and supported care from family planning through postpartum. I’m an IVF mom to a spirited 2-year-old, so like you, I’ve been there. I understand the hopes, uncertainty, and joy that come with this journey. Since moving to Maine, I’ve missed the connection of working with families directly, which continues to be my greatest joy. My training is rooted in African American Midwifery, blending mindfulness, empowerment, and compassion to meet families where they are. I support all races, genders, and family structures. Let’s connect for a complimentary consultation to learn how I can support your journey into parenthood.

My name is Laurie Wood and I am passionate about supporting families through the incredible journey of childbirth and beyond. With a gentle touch and a compassionate heart, I’m here to ensure you feel empowered and cared for every step of the way. Before becoming a doula, I spent 30 years as a public school educator, working closely with children and families through meaningful milestones. My own positive birth experiences—including the birth of my first child with the support of a midwife—deepened my belief in the need for compassionate, informed care. I know that birth can feel overwhelming or uncertain, and I believe women have a unique and powerful ability to support all birthing parents through it. As a doula, I bring warmth, calm, and a steady presence to help you feel safe, supported, and confident throughout your pregnancy and birth experience. I have a blended family of six grown children and nine wonderful grandchildren who keep me closely connected to both the joys and challenges of raising children in today’s ever-changing world. Their presence in my life reminds me daily how each parenting journey is unique—and how important it is to feel supported, heard, and encouraged as a parent.

I am a Certified Postpartum Doula with eight years of experience supporting families throughout the Greater Portland area. I hold a Master’s degree in Public Health, with a background in global health and community development, which informs my comprehensive, family-centered approach to postpartum care. I am also a mother of three young daughters, and my personal journey through motherhood—including pregnancy loss and postpartum depression—has shaped my deep empathy for the emotional, physical, and logistical complexities of the postpartum period. These lived experiences, combined with my professional training, allow me to meet families with compassionate, non-judgmental, and practical support during one of the most transformative times of their lives. My practice is grounded in real-world caregiving experience, efficiency, and organization, and guided by a strong belief in the importance of a reliable support network for new parents. I am honored to step into that role for families as they navigate the early days of parenthood. I hold certificates from the Institute for the Study of Birth, Breath and Death in Holding Space for Pregnancy Loss, Holding Space for Abortion, and Holding Space for Infertility. I was a founding board member of the Maine chapter of Postpartum Support International.

Hi, my name is Aubrey! I am a certified Birth and Postpartum doula as well as a certified Childbirth Educator. I have lots of confidence in making sure you feel well equipped for your birth and postpartum journey as well as being able to emotionally support you through it all. I am currently located in Jacksonville, NC but I have a radius I will travel as well as offer some remote options for a less hands on approach to support. My view on birth is that it is a beautiful time in your life where you are bringing your baby Earth side and there are ways to make it feel peaceful, calm and tranquil. However, on the flip side, birth can feel scary. Birth can get messy. Birth can be the hardest thing you've ever had to go through. Whatever stage you're at in the process, I am here to support you. Same goes with postpartum. I am a mom of five babies. Three on Earth, two in Heaven. I have my professional training, however I also have real life experience which can't be taught. Trust me to guide you, your partner, your family, your kids; to get through this journey with you. Right by your side and I won't leave until you feel confident to do it on your own!
