Hi, I’m Kim! I’m so glad you’re here! I’m the owner of Birthing Days Doula Services, a certified birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and infant sleep consultant serving families throughout the Portland metro area. With over eight years of experience and more than 250 births attended, I’ve had the privilege of supporting families through just about every kind of birth experience imaginable—from unmedicated births and epidurals to inductions, VBACs, cesareans, birth centers, and home births. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that no two births are alike, and your support shouldn't be either. **My philosophy is simple: Your birth, your choices, your experience. I'm here to support YOU.** I like to think of myself as your **birth best friend—with years of experience, evidence-based knowledge, a calming presence, and absolutely no judgment.** Whether you're hoping for an unmedicated birth, planning an epidural, preparing for a cesarean, or simply figuring out what feels right for you, my goal is to help you feel informed, confident, and supported every step of the way. I'll be there to offer hands-on comfort measures, help you navigate decisions, encourage and involve your partner, and provide a steady, reassuring presence when things feel overwhelming. I'll cheer you on, laugh with you, advocate for your wishes, and remind you just how capable you are—even when things don't go exactly as planned. I believe birth support should feel personal, not clinical. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, sharing your fears, celebrating the exciting moments, and knowing you have someone in your corner who genuinely cares about you and your experience. And my support doesn't have to end when your baby arrives! With experience in postpartum recovery, newborn care, feeding, and infant sleep, I'm here to help you navigate those first weeks and months of parenthood, too. When I'm not supporting families, you'll find me spending time with my husband of 25 years and our three kids, traveling, camping, reading, or cheering on the Oregon Ducks! **Finding the right doula is about more than experience and certifications. It's about finding someone you connect with, feel comfortable around, and trust to be part of one of the most meaningful moments of your life.** I'd love to hear your story, learn about your hopes for birth, and talk about what matters most to you. Whether you have a detailed birth plan or aren't quite sure where to begin, I'd love the opportunity to get to know you and see if we're the right fit. **Let's connect! I can't wait to meet you!** — Kim Birthing Days Doula Services

Hi, I’m Chantel—a birth doula, mama of two little ones, and someone who truly believes this season of life deserves to be held with care, humor, and a whole lot of heart. When I’m not supporting families, you can usually find me chasing my babies around, dancing in the kitchen, getting outside in nature, or dreaming up creative projects. I have a background in yoga and movement, which deeply shapes how I support birth—tuning into the body, finding rhythm, and creating a sense of calm and connection in the midst of it all. I came into this work because I’m passionate about helping families feel supported, seen, and confident as they step into parenthood. Birth is powerful and unpredictable, and I’m here to be a steady, grounding presence through it—offering hands-on support, encouragement, and guidance while honoring your unique path. My hope is that you feel safe to be fully yourself in this experience, and that you walk away feeling not just supported, but truly cared for.

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.

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 trauma-informed and gender affirming birth worker in Marion County, Oregon, providing a range of parenting support packages. I am a firm believer in parenting intuition and that each of us already holds many of the answers that we need. But during pregnancy and childbirth, there are so many new ideas and choices to consider that it can feel incredibly overwhelming. I excel in helping you explore all of your options, focusing in on what really matters to you, and preparing you to feel confident in your parenting role.

Hello! I’m Autumn Kuenzi, a Certified Postpartum Doula based in Oregon. I’m passionate about supporting families through the postpartum experience, whether it’s offering mental health guidance, sharing infant care tips, or providing help with anything else in between. My goal is to give you reliable resources and well-researched information to make the journey feel less overwhelming. I’m dedicated to empowering moms and helping them feel confident and successful in this important phase of life. When I’m not working, you’ll find me outdoors. Nature is a huge priority in my life, and I love sharing adventures with my two kids. Whether it’s hiking, biking, cross-country skiing, or paddleboarding—we try it all! Building meaningful friendships and creating a sense of community is also important to me. I believe that living your best life requires the love and support of many.

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!

As a professional Doula, my philosophy is to provide unbiased support to ALL family dynamics that hire me for support. I meet families exactly where they are at with evidence based education, and create space for my clients to be their own advocates. I've served hundreds of families over the course of my career and enjoy teaching childbirth education, infant feeding support, supporting high risk/high anxiety clients, and VBAC birth support. I co-own PNW Doulas in Salem, Oregon. We provide support all over Oregon.

Hi! I’m Maddie, a local birth and postpartum doula serving the general Marion county area (and some surrounding locations). I've been in the birth work field for 3 years now and feel honored to have supported the 20+ individuals and families through their pregnancy, delivery and postaprtum time. I feel it really is a blessing being able to support you through one of life’s most profound experiences. My mission is to provide compassionate care and reliable information during your pregnancy, labor and early postpartum period, ensuring that you feel supported and empowered every step of the way. Every birthing person deserves a steady hand and a listening ear, and I am committed to making my services accessible to everyone, regardless of financial barriers. Quality support should be a universal right, and I strive to ensure that all who need it can receive it. My approach to doula support is deeply informed by both my personal experiences as a mother and my professional training. I completed my training with Mothertree Birth Services under the guidance of Jesse Remer, and this blend of knowledge and lived experience allows me to offer you both expert guidance and heartfelt empathy. I look forward to the opportunity to walk alongside you, providing comfort, support and advocacy as you navigate this transformative time!

When I first started in the business of helping people I worked as an alcohol and drug counselor at a residential treatment facility. I worked with and guided people from very diverse backgrounds. That work has directly applied to my ability to effectively communicate with and support others. After my time as a counselor I co-founded and currently co-own a personal training business that specializes in training folks who are pregnant and postpartum. Becoming a doula seemed like a natural next step as an extension of what I'm already passionate about doing: helping and empowering people.

I believe that every person deserves unbiased support during their pregnancy journey, and that is precisely what I provide as a Doula. I am dedicated to empowering and supporting my clients through this exciting, yet challenging, time in their lives. You will receive compassionate care, including guiding you through labor techniques and pain management, holding space for you during emotional moments, and advocating for you and your wishes during every step of the process.

I am the mother of a son and a tender of community, gardens, and dogs in Rockaway Beach. It is my honor and privilege to walk beside mothers and families as they move through the rite of passage that is welcoming a new child into the world. I believe that this is a life-changing transition, and I respect both how difficult and how awe-inspiring it can be. I am here to help you find solid ground through practical support and compassionate connection, and to help you find your voice, tend to your body, and connect with your child through your innate love. I believe in you.
