I have always had a passion to support women and babies every since I was younger. I have been in the medical field for 7 years now since I graduated high school and am a medical assistant. I have also been a newborn nanny to multiple families. I fell in love the women’s health/OBGYN/labor and delivery when I started as a medical assistant 4 years ago and was a medical assistant for 2 years at a women’s clinic and fell in love with the women’s clinic and got to shadow over 10 births by the midwives and OB’s at the clinic. I am currently applying for nursing school to become a labor and delivery nurse but wanted to be active in this field of work right now, so this is where I decided to become a birth doula. I feel that I am very equipped and experienced in this field and cannot wait to meet you and your family and help you bring your baby(s) into the world in a way you feel comfortable and proud of and I am here to support you along that journey!

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

I’m a mom of four—two daughters I had when I was young, and two sons I’ve had in my 30s with my husband, whom I married last year. My journey as a teen mom taught me resilience, the importance of support, and the power of community—lessons I carry with me every day. Family and community are central to my life: I’m connected through our church, and I spend a lot of time with my three sisters, raising our children together, exploring hikes, and finding outdoor adventures. I’ve homeschooled my older daughters from kindergarten through 4th grade, participating in a co-op school and fostering a love of learning along the way. Outside of family, I enjoy volunteering with YoungLives to support teen parents, playing board games, video games and reading. I’ve had a variety of jobs over the years, but the one I’ve enjoyed the most is raising my children—it’s taught me patience, creativity, and a deep appreciation for the small moments that matter most

Hello! My name is Kaitlin and I live in Corvallis, OR with my husband and three kids. I am a certified Birth Doula, a THW with the state of Oregon and have extra training to support VBAC birth. I also do placenta encapsulation. I believe birth is one of the most transformative experiences a person can go through and it is my absolute pleasure to help you feel informed and empowered to have the birth you envision.

Hey! I'm Charise 🙂 Your local Lebanon, OR doula. I started my doula journey after hearing a lot of birth stories where mom's weren't informed, supported or listened to. Because I had my own experience with birth doulas, OBs and midwives, I knew this didn't have to be the norm for every woman. So last year, I launched Charise Blodgett Doula Care. My goal as your birth doula is to help you go into labor and delivery feeling knowledgeable and informed. I want you to feel confident in making decisions for you and your baby(ies). As your postpartum doula, I want you to feel comfortable providing care for your baby(ies) and have the physical, mental and emotional support you need as you transition into motherhood.

Hi there! My name is Emani, and I’m excited you came across my profile!✨ I am a recent graduate from the naturopathic medical school here in Portland, NUNM, with my doctorate in naturopathic medicine and certificate in natural childbirth. During my schooling, I had the privilege of attending over 10 births assisting local naturopathic midwives. I have completed my training with Doula School International where we learned effective positions for labor, soothing techniques to manage pain, as well as the intersectionality of birth and how to assist clients who may be struggling with their mental health in a trauma-informed way. As I am completing my doula certification, I am offering discounted doula services in exchange for an evaluation from you. These services include 2 prenatal visits, support during labor and delivery, and 1 postpartum visit. I look forward to supporting you during this momentous time! ✨

I love to help the people around me to feel safe and supported. My passion is supporting families during the arrival of their baby, no matter the route, with the birthing person and their support team’s intentions at the forefront. I support my families through encouragement, position changes, calming touch, breathing techniques, advocating and forming a bond with the birthing person and their family to help develop a comforting environment to birth in. Birth is an experience that can foster growth, strength and passion and I feel my purpose is to help every expectant parent I interact with to have a positive and empowering transition into parenthood. Labor is transformational!

Affirming doula care for queer & neurodivergent folks No assumptions. No judgment. A safe space for all. Nurturing Every Birth, Honoring Every Story

Hello! My name is Elaine Richwine and I am a birth doula and childbirth educator located in Milwaukie, Oregon. Serving folks on their journey to parenthood for more than 23 years now, I still get so excited and overjoyed every time! My hobbies include anything to do with my 12 grandchildren, and traveling with my hubby.

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, I’m Jupiter — the heart behind The Daddy Doula. I’m a birth and postpartum doula supporting families who want care that is affirming, trauma informed, and deeply human. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+, trans, BIPOC, autistic, and neurodivergent families, and I believe everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and fully supported through pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum season. I’m also a parent myself, and becoming one reshaped everything I thought I knew about birth, partnership, and care. I know what it feels like to need steady support, clear information, and someone who can hold the room when things feel big. My work is rooted in consent, autonomy, and protecting the oxytocin bubble whether that looks like quiet presence, advocacy in medical spaces, or reminding you to breathe and come back into your body. I’m Portland Oregon based and offer sliding scale support because access to care matters. If you’re looking for a doula who shows up steady, affirming, and fully in your corner, you’re in the right place.

Hello there! I’m a newly certified birth and postpartum doula with a deep passion for supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. I strive to provide compassionate, inclusive, and personalized care, helping parents feel confident and supported every step of the way. I’m currently welcoming new clients and would love to be part of your journey.

Supporting families since 2007 with evidence-based information, hands-on continuous labor support, and advocacy. I am a Dutch gal in the USA, blessed with a husband, 4 kids, and 3 cats. I love getting dirty in my native backyard habitat, knitting, cross-stitching, singing, attending live concerts, and discovering new coves at the coast.​ I was inspired to become a birth professional after my own powerful birth experiences. The birth of my first child was incredibly intense, and I discovered an inner strength that I did not know I had. I learned from this birth that our bodies are incredible and unpredictable and that giving birth was simultaneously beautiful and raw.

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.

Hi there! My name is Lena Floyd Tahir (she/they), and I am a birth and postpartum doula based in Portland, OR. I come from a long line of birth workers: my grandmother was a NICU nurse and my great grandmother was a rural health doctor in Pakistan. This family history spurred an early interest in perinatal health care. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in my 20's, and thus developed the necessary skill of navigating healthcare systems. From my own advocacy, I developed a greater curiosity for the reproductive health space. My varied comfort skills draw from my experiences with chronic pain. Through my work as a doula, I aim to bolster a sense of empowerment and safety for the families I work with. I am a queer, neurodivergent person of color, and my broad life experiences make me uniquely capable of supporting my clients through any twists and turns that their birth and postpartum journey may bring. In my free time I enjoy crafting, karaoke, and quiet nights in with my partner, dog, and three cats.

I love taking care of new families! I have owned my own birth and postpartum doula practice for almost twenty years. These days I am focusing primarily on the postpartum side of things, bringing my vast knowledge of lactation to the forefront as I am working towards becoming a certified consultant. I believe educating parents with evidence based information tailored to their specific needs and desires is a key aspect to feeling prepared for their new life journey. I am calm under pressure and offer a steady and reassuring comfort. It is my goal to hear and understand what you are hoping for and offer the best care possible to meet your goals.
