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.

Kim was so helpful- a calming and informative presence. This was so needed, especially when everything went haywire- she adapted to our needs as I went into labor a month early, and had to unexpectedly change hospitals. She was quite literally my only predictable factor in this experience. Her advocacy and communication skills were always on point, and she was so easy to talk to. I would highly recommend her services to anyone!

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.
