Bereavement Doulas in Portland, OR

Hi, I’m Kim, and I’m so glad you’re here. I’m the owner of Birthing Days Doula Services and a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and sleep consultant serving families throughout the Portland metro area. For over eight years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting more than 250 families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and those early days of parenthood. From hospital births and inductions to cesareans, VBACs, birth centers, and home births, I believe every family deserves to feel informed, supported, and never alone. My approach is evidence-based, compassionate, and completely judgment-free. Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, preparing for a cesarean, or simply wanting someone in your corner, I’m here to help you feel confident, empowered, and cared for every step of the way. Families often tell me that having me by their side feels like having both a knowledgeable guide and a trusted friend. I’ll cheer you on, help you navigate decisions, provide practical support, and remind you that you are capable of doing hard things. When I’m not supporting families, you’ll find me spending time with my husband of 25 years and our three children, reading, traveling, camping, or cheering on the Oregon Ducks. Pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you're looking for support that is calming, encouraging, and personalized to your family, I would love the opportunity to walk alongside you during this incredible season of life.

I am a mom to 6 children. For over 9 years I’ve dedicated to being a stay at home parent. Being a doula has been my biggest dream once I became a mom to my first child. I knew my time would come that I am able to pursue my passion. That time has arrived and I’ve never been more grateful that I get to provide support during the most important day of your life. I hope to connect with you on your journey with care and kindness. You deserve to be treated with respect and have someone in your corner through this transformative time in your life. I look forward to being that person for you.

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.

Welcome to your next adventure! This addition to your family will be locked in as a core memory forever- so why not make it the most positive experience it can possibly be? As a doula since 2011 with hundreds of families served, I bring experience as a mom of 4 and warm hands to guide the way. Postpartum can be a vulnerable time, and coupled with a huge transition and lack of sleep, sometimes gets off track. That's where I come in. My goals are to meet you where you're at and fill in the gaps. Most often, this means helping baby sleep so you can too! I specialize in breast or bottle feeding support and troubleshooting, multiples, and newborn sleep. I also have years of experience and am comfortable with preemies and NICU babies. My personality is casual, friendly, and warm, and I bring my sense of humor with me everywhere. Clients appreciate my calm nature and positivity, as well as the resources I provide to get them through anything that might arise. I often hear, "I wish I had doula support for my other babies!", and "We got so much more sleep than we would have without you." Let's work together to figure out your needs and how I can best support you.

I am a birth doula serving the Portland, OR metro area. My passion is making sure birthing people feel supported, respected, and informed so they can make whatever decisions are right for them.

Birth can be one of the most vulnerable times in a person's life, so building a trusting relationship with my clients and helping create a peaceful birth environment is essential to my work. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my dog, baking legendary banana bread, writing, swimming in the ocean, and making art of all kinds.

The fullness of my life has been centered around children and maternal care and learning about herbs and how they support a natural lifestyle. I have been a childcare provider, prenatal to youth (special needs included for years past 18 years of age), for over 30 years. My decision to become a doula, and eventually to become a midwife, has been in the works throughout my life. I have been influenced by other doulas and midwives from the East and West Coast, with a predominance of this influence happening when I was in North Carolina. My mission is to ensure that mothers, and mothers-to-be have the resources, knowledge, and care needed to ensure the healthy births of their children, as well as knowledge of how to care for their newborns and older children. I have experience as a nutritional specialist (chef), well-baby care, well-Mama care, and family care and pre-and post-birth dynamics.
