Bereavement Doulas in Salem, 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.

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.

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.

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! ✨

Hello families, My name is Amber and I am excited to connect with you. I have over 30 years experience as a doula and support all types of families. I specialize in multiples (twins/triplets), first time parents, cesarean deliveries, adoptions, and families with history of birth trauma, infertility and preemies/NICU support. I offer holistic and individual attention full circle (fertility, early pregnancy support, pregnancy support, birth and postpartum). Well known in the birthing community with excellent referrals, most of my clients find me through friends, family, and provider recommendations. My birthing support schedule fills quickly but I am available to connect virtually for pregnancy and postpartum support with a flexible schedule to meet your needs. I am looking forward to connecting and learning more about how I can support you in your journey. Warmly, Amber

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.

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.

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.

Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer and I am a birth doula and Childbirth educator. I am also a bodywork specialist who does energy work. I am trained in Reiki and reflexology and while I was in massage school I took classes in pregnancy massage and labor massage. As a birth worker my passion is to help in the bonding of the family no matter what your family looks like if it is just mother and baby, partner, spouse, or even a family member I am there to help you find your voice and ease your journey as it plays out. Sometimes we want to think we can control what our birth will look like but the little bundle inside doesn't always listen and so I want to be there to help everyone involved reach the goal. My main passion is in continuous care. I left the nursing world after seeing the effects it had on laboring women and families having to build that rapport with the care team each appointment, shift changes and I did not like that. I want to be there with your family from start to finish, one less thing to worry about and one more thing to gain comfort in.

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.

I am a mother to 7 and grandmother to 3 toddlers. My children range from 16-31 years old. Yes they are all mine and I gave birth to every one, plus 4 in Heaven. When I gave birth to my children I was able to do 6 of them unmedicated and all were delivered vaginally with no significant damage to my lady parts. All a testament to good education, faith, and great, knowledgeable caregivers. I would love to work with clients who are seeking this kind of birth. However, my passion and calling is to help parents to have the birth they are desiring, and to support them in their journey no matter the method; whether vaginal, unmedicated, epidural, C-section(planned or emergency), hospital, birth center, or at home. I would be privileged to support you and your family into the exciting adventure of parenting. I am a birth and postpartum doula, recently trained. I am working toward my THW and getting my Doula business up and running. I offer lactation support and referral when needed. I offer calm, flexible, adaptive, confident support during your birth and post partum period. I have been told often by health professionals what a great job I do advocating for others. I am certified in Hypnobirthing Support and will be attending Spinning Babies Foundation class at the end of April. Reach out for an interview and let's see if I'm a good fit for your parenting journey.

Hello, friend! My name is Josie and I have been a Birth Doula since 2019. My goal as your Doula is to help you have the most satisfying birth experience possible by supporting you physically, emotionally, and educationally. As your Doula I will help you advocate for yourself so that you feel both seen and heard by the medical staff, I will help support you physically as you progress in labor, and I will be there as an encouragement and champion for you and your partner throughout your journey. I love pampering women in labor, but I'm also there to be a Doula to the partner/spouse because we all know it's a team effort. My goal is never to replace your labor support, but rather add to, direct, and encourage them. I love to craft, make jokes, cuddle my toddler when he lets me, read books, and wander throughout Oregon’s woods and coastlines. I’m an introvert and an enneagram 9, but I can be loud and fun, so don’t go confusing shy for quiet. 😉 I can’t wait to meet you!
